    Does anyone else play Premkiller? £5 entry and you pick a team to win every week and the last man standing wins the entire lot. Can’t pick the same team more than once.

    Recent winner won nearly £8k.

    I think I agree with Carragher, but it's very much a hindsight is 20/20 thing isn't it. As it stands now, my gut instinct is that if you're gonna be flapping around in and around the last CL spot, you might as well have given time to the young up-and-comers, and tried to put together something more coherent tactically (and spent the Ronaldo money on a CM, obvz...oh, and gotten a proper manager in), but when they signed him I was very much one of the idiots who thought WOW look at all those good players, maybe an outside shot at the title.

    Far be it from me to care who wins the balloon of gold, but how has Lionel Messi won it? I can think of at least five more deserving off the top of my head: Lewandowski, Jorginho, Chiesa, Salah, De Bruyne.

    Remember when Neymar went to PSG to get out of Messi's shadow solely so he could win this lol.

    He cried because he loves his club and the big meanies made him leave. Then he was good again. It's a heart warming tale.

    Assuming it's the award for the best footballer of the year, he should have won every single one for the last 15 years.



    Man said Jorginho don't get me wrong, it's fantastic to see a white man not get laughed out of CM on the back of his ability to make 5 yard passes but get a grip.

    The most glaring thing on that list is Benzema being on it.

    For one of the established two to not win it a player has to have an exceptional season for a club that wins virtually everything they are in. De Bruyne probably gets it if City don't meff up the Champions League final. That said, is this the one voted for by international captains or the French Journalists? There's literally not a chance Messi or Ronaldo don't win it until the end of time with the captain one, and now Messi has dignified France with his presence I guess he's got them all sewn up as well.

    I think the voters at large are still under the mistaken impression that Barcelona/Real Madrid remain the pinnacle of club football. They do not.

    I imagine the only reason Messi won this year is because he won the Copa America. But yeah the fact that Jorginho was a contender says a lot

    Although I do agree with Taz. Messi should have won it every year since he first won it.

    Modric played for RM at the time, Lewandowski's goals don't count until he bangs five past Atletico Torremolinos.

    Seems good, reduction of decision time and increase in accuracy. The current system is just a holocaust/apartheid/pigs in blankets shortage.

    I've often thought in the last few years, what we need is for the offside rule to be MORE convoluted.

    It's the obvious evolution. The current system of having to refer to David Coote at Stockley Park is going to look proper stone age in about ten years time.

    I can't see how David Coote won't always be needed for non-line calls.

    The thing is that how offsides are currently done on VAR feels silly. You got the guy going pixel by pixel and determining what part of the arm counts as the shoulder and whatnot in order to draw some lines that are then presented as if they came from a highly sophisticated software. If you are at that point, you might as well get said sophisticated software instead.

    It's a computer vision/ML problem, probably quite a nice one to think about. Lots of training data available but hard to programme in the intricacies of things like deflected passes etc.

    Given the use of the term "semi-automatic" I just assume it will handle the lines part but it'll still be down to the VAR to decide whether it's an offside or not.

    I see the United Champions League game is coming into doubt. All of these new restrictions are going to be a massive ballache on that front. Considering the risk of getting a bit of Omicron I'd be amazed if the likes of Liverpool even considered sending their first team out. Useful cover for a week's rest. Could be a real boon for acey-meelan.

    Aye, moving or rescheduling, but why would United want to have to travel and expose themselves to avoidable risks when they are already through and top of the group?

    I probably should've activated that prime trial for that. Gatesehead are on ITV4 on Friday. Sam Matterface will be trotting those same lines out.

    Newcastle are going to have to work miracles in January to stay up. Trouble is, they have the budget to do so, but will anyone of real quality be willing to risk relegation?
