Josh Gordon would have BEEN the next Randy Moss.
In a different world, the Patriots fade out Brady and have Jimmy G for the next 20 years, with Josh Gordon and Antonio Brown for the next 5 at least…scary thought!
Yes, Carroll handed a SB to BB, plus “28 to 3 Quinn” also (in the game that in my mind cemented Brady as the GOAT).

You clearly don’t watch much football at all.
Dele Alli

Richarlison

Serial divers who throw themselves to the floor at every opportunity. Have you ever seen any of them play?
At first I dislike this, but I like the guy. The reason I dislike it is that the Saints stopped using Taysom Hill when Teddy was the starter b/c he became the only backup QB. I want to watch Hill play every down of the game. Love that guy.
I’m hoping Andy Reid finds a way to lure him to KC since he just finished his three year contract. Dude basically made league minimum for three years. He’s about to get paid.
Stephen A. Smith hates the Joe Judge hire, so I’m going to dial back my opinion to “wait and see”.
I’m serious.
York for christ sakes…
There’s a difference between diving for a call and rolling around on the ground in the over exaggeration a la Neymar, and how you see in the World Cup like Jmaier was probably referencing. I made this clear in my original post.
And I’m sure I don’t have to explain to you the origin of Neymar’s over exaggeration. Do I? The Brazilian Serie A, like most of South American football is brutal on the ankles. Players, especially the best ones, get fucking hacked down a lot. Neymar grew up in a time of shit referees, and he developed a propensity to exaggerate fouls in order to protect his skinny light frame from being obliterated (he still gets chopped, hence all his ankle injuries). Unfortunately, he never grew out of this way.
There is no where close to the dramatics in the Prem as there is in other leagues, especially South America or the World Cup which takes the cake.
Yes there is. Answer my question. Do you even know who the players are that I’ve referenced? You clearly don’t watch much football so stop pretending you do.
You think Neymar had poor referees? LOL Go and research Eusebio, Pele, Maradona.
You don’t have a clue mate.
There you go, all Prem and La Liga.
I can’t believe you’ve suggested you need to explain anything about football to me. Laughable.
Ps. It’s Yorkshire, not York. You’ve had a bit of a nightmare with that last post (again).
Again, there is a difference in diving and the dramatics. The dramatics are turned up to 11 in the World Cup.
The fact that you are trying to argue otherwise is asinine. You’re just trying to argue to argue.
No one is going to watch the Prem, and say there is a crazy amount of flamboyant showmanship on the ground. I’ve been watching it every Saturday and Sunday for the last 2 decades and it becomes lesser and lesser every year.
Even the World Cup last year had significantly less over the top rolling around, which is why I think Neymar got singled out so harshly.
Does it bother you when people mirror your posting style?

Watch the video. There are plenty of dramatics.
I’m arguing because you’re wrong.
This sentence proves to me you don’t watch the Prem. It’s getting worse, much worse, year after year. So much so that in 2017, they had to bring in bans to try and stop the constant diving. Here you go, from the Premier League’s website itself: What's new this season: Bans for diving
I’ll ask AGAIN. Are you aware of the players I listed? The likes of Alli, Kane, Richarlison, Son, Zaha who engage in diving, dramatics and the rest of the dark arts that plague the Prem (and La Liga).
This comment really tickled me. You made a point, I have countered that point, given examples etc and all you can come back with is “you’re arguing for the sake of it”.
I don’t know how you found the time to watch the Premier League every weekend for the past 20 years in between the dozens of “hot chicks” you’ve banged, full blown relationships you’ve had, that failed marriage, travelled seemingly everywhere from Portland to Patagonia, made friends with dozens of Londonders, surveyed men aged 40-50 on their sex lives and marriages. I mean, how do you find the time for all this? 
Ps. If you had been watching the Prem for the past 2 decades you’d know exactly what my avatar meant. You haven’t even mentioned it…

York,
Again, DIVING vs DRAMATICS of rolling around on the ground like you’re dying.
And again, World Cup vs Prem or any other top flight league isn’t comparable. It’s no where comparable, the World Cup which is when most Americans get their dose of the game is what we were talking about.
You don’t like Spurs, I get it. And out of all those players Richarlison is the most dramatic, not coincidently also South American. Also, surprised you didn’t throw in Mane in there considering he has had some very obvious dives this season that helped Liverpool stay undefeated.
Soccer is GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

I’m not from York. If you want to use my name like that you can use Yorkshire.
AGAIN, I acknowledged that above, this is what I/you/we are speaking about.
And yet, it is very comparable. You do realise that Premier League players make up a large amount of the players at the World Cup right? As do La Liga players, which you yourself mentioned earlier.
Correct, because they spend half their time on the floor rolling around, which you yourself are complaining about, as evidenced by two of the videos I posted earlier (that you clearly didn’t watch).
He’s up there for sure.
Feel free to throw Mane in there. He’s not South American though. Neither is his diving partner in chief, Mo Salah.
See how you’re now destroying your own point yourself? 
Still not worked out what my avatar means either? Even with the help of google? Pathetic.
looks like an old school West Ham united symbol? I mean, sorry I don’t really care much about teams about to get relegated
=D
You obviously don’t watch the Prem every week then seeing as we just smashed Bournemouth 4-0
yes you brought back that crazy coach, I know.
just a temporary upswing… soon you’ll be right back fighting against relegation lol
“That crazy coach” lmao. He’s about the least crazy gaffer out there.
I’m sure you said the same last season and look what happened.
Out of interest, who is your team? Must be someone in the top 6 as you don’t watch teams battling relegation…As an American who didn’t seem to like me defending Spurs players I’m guessing it’s Spurs themselves? But then again you seem to have a thing about Liverpool so maybe Man City?
I knew you were going to ask. I’m not telling =)
I’ll tell you who I don’t like- Man U, and Arsenal. I actively hate those two.
Outside of that my support or distaste for other teams ebbs and flows with the players that are on the team. Right now I’d like to see Aston Villa succeed because I feel like Grealish deservers better. And when Wolves aren’t playing my team I like seeing them do well, I think the coach is quality.
I promise I won’t take the piss…much
So it IS Man City or Spurs…
It’s nice to see a lad doing well and staying with his home town team. Mark Noble the best example of that obviously
Agreed, great to watch and a forward thinking gaffer.
Fucking hell I’ve just had a civil conversation with greenboy what have I become?
Damn it to hell! This is one of the threads that I used to specifically check in for. I used to really enjoy it.
