They should force fat children to play it on live tv without pay for our amusement.

Stoke have underachieved under Mark Hughes and he's rather lucky that he's escaped criticism.

Mark Hughes seems quite capable of making an average group of players decent but struggles to make good/very good players any better

Nope.

Don't want to turn this into a Stoke City thread but all of their biggest names are overrated.

This. If you look back at 2013/14 and see that he led a fairly average squad to 50 points and 9th place (despite being way off those above), you'd say fair job.

If you look at the end of the 2015/16 season and see that he led a much stronger squad to 51 points and 9th place (whilst being even further away from those above them this time), you surely have to ask questions.

Oh, and he can't seem to buy a half decent centre forward. Joselu??? Diouf??? Really.

If Stoke made the bold move of sacking him and looking for a bit of ambition, they have the potential to push on. If Southampton can get Pochettino and Koeman in, then Stoke can get managers with similar qualities if they stop resting in this comfort zone they appear to be in.

Nope.

What were you referring to?

I was trying to add something relevant to the thread. You know, the one about unpopular football opinions. In my opinion they should make fat children play football live on tv and not pay them. I'd imagine that's not a popular idea.

OK. Didn't know what you were referring to when you referred to football.

That leads onto a perfect one for you epic.

Football should never ever be called soccer

When have I called it soccer? Also, what on earth is a SM-G930F?

And that would be my phone

It's what I call it only when talking to people who would get it confuzzled with American crash-bang-wallop football. Only in extreme cases.

What kind of a name is that for a phone? Would you name your child SM-G930F?

I usually don't defend Epic, but to be fair if he said that about Leicester last season we would all have called him crazy so he can bounce back in May to say "I told you so"

 

[Libertadores FC]

Ecuadors frontline is one of the most in depth attacking forces in the world.

The Leicester thing doesn't happen every year though

Paul Scholes is STILL ridiculously overrated and overbummed these days.

TBF, I did claim at one point that Leicester could get top 6.

It doesn't but many people predicted them to get relegated last season.

Why do Americans call that rugby type game football? They don't play it with their feet.

Ball's shaped like a foot?

Football is so called because it's played on foot (as opposed to horseback), not because it's kicked with the foot.

Shameless ploy to get your kids on the telly, Steven.

Why isn't polo called horseball, then?
