    Was wasting time on YouTube, in between bouts of diligent work, and somehow got watching videos of "famous" free kicks.

    Ronaldo, Beckham, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, more Ronaldo, Messi, Ronaldo again (I guess that accounts for all 3 he ever scored), Messi, Messi, Honda, Mitsubishi, Toyota.

    The usual suspects. Over and over.

    There's very little memory or desire to look at the history of the game with the modern fan I think. At least with the modern fan who posts video on YouTube.

    Because, you know... Zico. The all time, surely undisputed master of the free kick? Anyone remember him? It's not as if it was all in the black and white era. But if it's not part of the modern hype factory it's like it no longer exists.

    A free kick anywhere near the goal was as good as a penalty for Zico. And it wasn't blasted. He wasn't using a ball that does everything bar fly true. He didn't have the pristine pitches, the modern boots, the pre-game iPad with all the goalie stats. Instead he'd stroke it into the net. If the keeper was set up one way, he'd go the other. Which usually meant the keeper ended up standing there, watching the ball go past him. Floated into the top corner, left or right, made no difference.

    He was also a world class player in just about every other respect.

    Was also watching one of those silly "best ever" videos. Arsenal midfielders. No Liam Brady. What the fucking fuck?

    However, I did come across a video of the real Ronaldo. What a player. Magical.

    It's pretty obvious to me that football was much better a couple of decades back and beyond, or even a decade back. Much better players. Trouble is, they are rapidly being forgotten, erased by this ridiculous hype that has Raheem Sterling hailed as a world beater.

    Money ruins everything it touches.

    Apologies on behalf of the cunt that put music over this. And I'm pretty certain these aren't all the goals, I remember a good few more when he was playing for Brazil.

    The assumption was that Britain was the supporting column that once removed would see the whole organisation tumble

    You lost, get over it.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    No, the assumption was we'd get out just in time. But the fifth column in this country might end up leaving us in dangerous proximity.

    These players are more like investment funds (and most of them are as exciting). Dummies on which to hang the latest kit (available at the club store for crazy money). And on top you add a whole batch of hangers-on who get their cut. Fine if half these sods could play, which they can't. Most of them should be paid in peanuts, which is what they give back to the fans every week.
