Joelinton's transformation into a box to box wrecking ball is one of the best stories of the season :wow:

He has been excellent recently. I’m sure that I read somewhere that this is much closer to his ‘natural’ position, and where he was playing on the pitch before he joined Newcastle. Apparently, Steve Bruce saw a big lump, and presumed him to be a decent target man :snoop:.

Kovacic is a good dribbler and a powerful runner over the first 10 yards. I can easily understand why someone who plays against him would rate him highly to be fair. :manny:

In all honestly, he's having an OK season but we're never completing for a league title (let alone winning one) with him as a serious player. That goes for Whorejinho too.

The Ulrika incident and the dogging didn't do him any favours. His lucky he managed to have the broadcast career he has had :hubie:

Was the first athlete I can remember to highlight depression while still playing and not after the fact and he got a lot of shyt for that.

Collymore was probably the most talented English striker of the 90's. If you saw his Southend and Forest highlights :wow:. Liverpool career up was pretty decent for the first 18 months. The hattrick on his Leicester debut.

what does that have to do with what he said?

IDK maybe the part of him saying he was unable to say 'I would knock him out' after the incident with Ulrika probably got something to do with it.
:heh:
