"P.S.G." I can already tell it's going to be bad
Guardiola had preached a complex, modern style — tactically sophisticated and aesthetically pleasing — and he had improved the individuals in his squad: not just the young players, eager to learn, but the seasoned veterans, too.WHAT? lol which young players and what senior players did he improve? Alaba has been shit since Pep came. Even Alonso looked like trash most of the time under Pep. Not to mention the defenders lol

Good point.
This is what happens when you are the most popular league in the world I guess.

I think people really overblow the near post thing. I mean Ronaldos goal the other day. It was a fucking cruise missle

Still not really feeling the Totally Football Show either though. I think they could have done with shaking up the format a bit more.

The various Football Weekly podcasts and Second Captains are still by far the best football podcast. Enjoying On The Continent so far.

I do like Max as a host, he does a better job of keeping a conversation going unlike Jimbo who consistently cuts of threads of conversation.

Apparently Caldara had another brilliant game with Atalanta yesterday. Can't wait to see him play alongside Rugani and Chiellini next year. We just might have our CB pairing for the next 5+ years.
