Where are they now?

wow. would never have guessed that. tomorrow vs Spurs is a good time to fix that, Luis.

 

It's not just him though. I read a stat that the only Barca player to score an away CL goal since 2016 was Messi.

 

No need to tell us you wouldn't have guessed that. You got any idea what the odds are of guessing the figure 1,113 days out of the blue, when your memory can only give you certainty for about 150 days on the matter?

 

forget that, I'll be supporting the spuds tomorrow.
I love seeing them struggle, showing the world that they had a once in a lifetime influx of homegrown talent that is not repeatable and that all their hypocritical posturing over being 'mes que un club' is nothing but BS.

Former Liverpool defender Sebastian Coates hailed a hero after saving keeper from choking

Yet another instance of a defender bailing out a keeper.

 

He played alongside Freddy Adu there a couple of seasons back....

 

I saw the Cole/Adu Rowdies a couple of years ago, when both the Rowdies and Indy Eleven were still in the NASL. Cole was bog slow even then, and as a result was not clearly superior to the decidedly minor league competition (Indy was good that year, but still very much lower level). I didn't see him this year, when both the Rowdies and Indy were in the USL, but I can't imagine that he was any good.

 

I think another good comparison would even be to Maxi Rodrigues. Another tricky wide player who came in on a free. However, one showed heaps of grit and drive to work after his hard start... the other went to France.

 

Maxi and Meireles (I spelled that wrong) were the few bright pick ups from that dark era.

 

Reading this list is terrifying....

A couple of legends chatting about footy. Stevie leaves his foot in on a verbal challenge on the Owlish One.

I can't open the link ..... the "Owlish one" is Hodgson I guess??

 

Yes. He said that things were miserable at that time and it was hard to shake.

I didn't have to sign up for anything to read it.

 

Glad he is in good spirits. I've been tracking this story in part because I had a malignant brain tumor removed as well. Cancer doesn't care how famous you are or how strong your footballing skills are.

McAteer and Owen in a legends match end up kicking each other. McAteer got red, Owens should have got red also.
