If you made an all-time Prem 11 using players from only one country, which country has the strongest team?

(Because it’s easier to think of ~25 years, not because Premier League is when football started).

Here’s an idea: optional 10 minute delay on matches you broadcast so you guys can edit out all the VAR

@RorySmith I don’t disagree, but I feel like the 3pm Saturday thing disappeared even before the pandemic with 6 or 7 match day slots at the weekend

@PeteWashford @_Bands_FC If I recall correctly, John Collins left the same day that Collins John signed!

Weird story of the day 😳

Photos of Diego Costa & Gabriel Jesus with the same woman have been found inside a bible at a charity shop in Marylebone.

@TheJourneyMen17 It’s the reason analysis of past greats would be good. I know we’ll never have the same data for them but it’s surely harder to be the greatest in this era given how well trained, fed, coached etc most pros are. Before if you’re looked after yourself you had an instant advantage.

[Tom @TJftblTJ]

@TheJourneyMen17 I’ve always thought he was great to watch too, and was a little surprised he had such high numbers for attacking stats on whoscored. Proves he has style, substance and longevity. He’d have to be part of any serious discussion about all time greats but I don’t think he will be!

[Tom @TJftblTJ]

@TheJourneyMen17 Which makes me wonder if the golden boot multiplier is actually fair and accurate...

[Tom @TJftblTJ]

@TheJourneyMen17 I know you’ve ran the numbers to come up with this, so I think any counter argument has to be based on numbers. The only thing I can come up with is the standard of opposition. If every player can be judged in this way, how strong is Ligue 1 overall? You can then work out a...

[Tom @TJftblTJ]

@TheJourneyMen17 ...multiplier for each league based on this, like they do with the golden boot.

@sid_lambert @TheJourneyMen17 Best player of all time

[Tom @TJftblTJ]

@TheJourneyMen17 Maybe there was some shit hot players ten thousand years ago who kicked rocks around

[Tom @TJftblTJ]

People say Solskjaer is a poor manager but the results are comparable to Mourinho, Moyes and van Gaal, while the style of football played is 100 times more entertaining.

Arsenal just needed fans then.

Or Rapid aren’t very good?

Di Maria looking like he’s about to have his school photo taken

@TheJourneyMen17 @danbibliotheque The level I play at you have to roundhouse kick a player to concede a free kick

[Tom @TJftblTJ]

Bruno Fernandes loves to give the ball away

[Tom @TJftblTJ]

@TheJourneyMen17 @danbibliotheque I think it depends. I’m not bothered half the time, but if it got someone sent off or won a crucial free kick*, punish it.

*I would have said penalty previously but I think VAR has covered that - applies to competitions without VAR

[Tom @TJftblTJ]

@TheJourneyMen17 @danbibliotheque Yeah, encouraged diving which is a plague on the game. Need post-game punishment for dives.
