    Nope, thats why I asked. I wasn't sure what the full story was. Hence the question (y) But hang on- why lobotomise them and kill them? Why would you bother doing both

    Yeah I saw that too, something about a polygraph test as well- I wasn't sure what the plan was after their brains had been zapped though, just let them walk the streets drooling or something?

    I don't think it will flop. Its a safe haven for people tired of being called out for their views, and anything that makes people feel better about themselves is going to sell.

    its going to be very interesting. I was reading that there was some good old fashioned anti- vax stuff on earlier, that will appeal to some. they’ll have to get more and more controversial if they lose viewers

    The thing I don’t get is how they can pitch this channel as for those who felt sidelined or ignored in recent times. brexit went through, Boris won a landslide, loads of booing anti-racist gestures etc- how are these people ‘ignored’? They’re everywhere 🤪

    point proven- I mean that’s a really poor response. It’s meaningless to me anyway as I don’t vote.

    this resonates with me. This channel is another way for a certain proportion of the country to say “screw you, we can say what we want. We are just going to dress up our horrible views in a smart way so we can never directly be called what we are and pretend we’re more intelligent than you. Talk...

    maybe, but I’m talking in my football watching lifetime, which is late 70s onwards. Not that I don’t rate them.

    in that group I think you have to add Paul Scholes- criminally underrated when people talk about the great players over the years

    it’s playing with words- maybe I’ll rephrase- he’s an all time great, but he’s not in the ‘all time genius’ category.

    if you’re gonna list the ‘geniuses’ of the game, who did things you didn’t even think were possible, it’s a no. Baresi could play anywhere, it was effortless and he did things no defender should be able to do, I don’t see that in Maldini. I’d put him in the ‘world class’ category with your...

    the qualifying question for me is could the player do things that wouldn’t even have occurred to other players to attempt, let alone do?

    baresi gets in, it’s a no from me for the other two. At a push we could have had one- had Gascoigne had his head screwed on & looked after himself he could have made the list- he could do everything.

    Very hard to answer as I’m biased & not impartial, but….. I think maybe they would actually, even if only for Kane’s goalscoring record.

    world class to me is when you’re in the top few in the world in your position. Bearing that in mind, probably neither of Sterling or Gnabry are in that group tbh. International class for sure though. then you have the ‘all time greats’, and in my lifetime there have only been a few- Maradona...

    disagree completely. Gnabry’s record is skewed by his earlier career when he had problems and was unhappy. anyway- when it comes to World Class players, it’s not the be all and end all- this quote by Mueller sums it up: "In Germany, we don't believe in superstars. We are taught from an early...

    Kane’s record is world class, but he needs to find form fast
