There is nothing to it. Tulips from Amsterdam, pyramid scheme. Call it what you will. The greatest con job of the 21st century. Just as many victims as winnners come from it.

It was the pass before the pass that bialle berry got it was definitely forward. The pass directly before the try was probably ok.

Still a very disheartening display from Ireland in the first half.

The Welsh opera singer who got canncelled a while back for inappropriate behaviour on strictly. He has been replaced on the go compare ads by Ian Wright with a fake moustache.

The vikings sacked their general manager Kwesi Adofo Mensah today. The timing of the move is a bit strange but speaking as a viking fan the move could not have come soon enough. His drafting was attrocious and he let superbowl bound Sam Darnold walk out the door while the vikings struggled at quarter back.

Dorgu out for 10 weeks...been having a good season...was nearly contemplating breaking my stance on not picking Utd for my fantasy team

Good news for the potential republic of ireland playoff clash. In his current form he is one of denmarks best players.

Patriots have the edge on the scoreboard at the start of the fourth quarter 10-7. However the windy wintry conditions might favour the broncos.

Broncos are leading patriots 7-0 in the first quarter of the afc championship game. They are not missing nix so far.

Cracklin rosie
Sweet caroline has been tremendously overplayed but still qualifies as one of my top 3.

Traitors spoilers



The traitors ended in deadlock with Rachel and James up for banishment. I thought Rachel and Stephen messed up murdering Roxy instead of Ferraz. It cost her votes in the round table. Stephen got away with it when they murdered Jessie.

Oscar nominations are out today. Jessie Buckley was nominated best actress for Hamnet.

Sinners got a record setting 16 nominations.

It should have been OGS. When will they ever learn?

Barcelona missed all their penalties in the 1985 European cup final defeat to Steau Bucharest. The shootout finished 2-0 to Steau.

BB what I'm reading here is that your list of "elite" players is really quite small.

If players like Alonso and Simeone can't be considered elite - despite winning 100+ caps for tier one nations, and winning top tier leagues in multiple countries - then your criteria for elite is exceptionally high. Basically ballon d'or winners.

Any expectation for a regular or even flow from such a narrow pool of talent to a completely different role, will always result in disappointment.

That's just how numbers work. Circumstance and theory have no reason to be applied.

Yes, the definition of elite is by definition a small list.

There are a tiny amount of elite players who went on to be elite managers.

From that it isn't unreasonable to suggest that an elite player is not guaranteed to be a successful manager.

Most successful managers are decent but not great attacking or midfielder players often whose playing careers were cut short.

Go back to the FIFA list of the 100 best ever players. Cruyff, Deschamps, Beckenbauer, Dalglish and Enrique are the only successful managers. And only Cruyff can realistically be considered absolutely top drawer in both.

5% of the best ever players succeeded in management. That's not a pool clubs should be dipping into.

A lot of the elite players mentioned also had it easy in that they were given elite clubs and nations to manage. Liverpool, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and France and Germany at international level. They had it easier than others who had to work their way to the top.

Ogs is the man for United.

Carolina qb made a business decision like Cam Newton famously did in the super bowl for the same team. He didn't dive on the ball and left it to the stronger linebacker for the buccaneers to pick up. It looks like the buccaneers game now, 9 up and driving in the 4th quarter.
