Your most Controversial Soccer opinions

What are your most controversial soccer opinions?

opinions that you would not normal share even on boards as they are too hard to defend.

Do you think that Aston Villa could win the league,

would soccer be a better sport without Black footballers etc.

SantryRed · 22-12-2008 12:31AM

The Eircom League should be disbanded.

Charlie · 22-12-2008 12:33AM

I'm not that hot on Shearer.

Ronan|Raven · 22-12-2008 12:34AM

And it will be man like Eircom have gone, get with the program! sheesh you ****ing barstoolers.

One Cold Hand · 22-12-2008 12:34AM

I focking hate liverpool.

Bounty Hunter · 22-12-2008 12:35AM

going to assume they werent actually questions just an example of being controversial cos of course Villa could win the league

dunno how controversial it is but i think Ireland will make the next world cup

bUILDERtHEbOB · 22-12-2008 12:36AM

Gerrard isn't that great a player and doesn't deserve to be Liverpool captain.

delija_sever029 · 22-12-2008 12:37AM

Celtic and Rangers to play in Premier League...english:eek:

Not really that controversial imo. He was just one of a long line of talented, but vastly overhyped by the media, English players that has included the likes of Gazza and Beckham.

Jamie Redknapp is a fantastic pundit.

PSYCHE!

mike65 · 22-12-2008 12:40AM

Jose Mourinho woud be a brilliant manager for Liverpool at some point.

I should add, I'm a Newcastle fan.

Regarding Gazza, that bloke could never be overated, a pure artist with a football. Tragic that he has become the man he is today, and never really honed his skills at the very top.

Anderson is the most overrated player....ever! 3rd rate waste of space and will be playing in PL mid-tablers or mainland UEFA cup filler teams within 5 years.

Nani is the most underrated player in the PL and will be in the world class category within 4 years.

Arsene Wenger is the most underachieving yet highly rated manager in the EPL. Time for the door.

Fabio Capellos ego will ruin Englands chances at the very last. Im thinking a major personal falling out like Van Basten had several times.

villa will be ahead of liverpool in the league by the end of villas second match in february

Melion · 22-12-2008 12:51AM

I think Ferguson got very lucky in the early 90's to have such a crop of players come through at once

raven136 · 22-12-2008 12:53AM

i dont really care if ireland qualify for the euro's or world cups,the tournament is always better without crap teams like us bringing the craic

- Introduction of a UEFA wide Salary Cap system;
- Complete revision of the rules regarding acquisition of players under 18. By this I mean make it difficult (or downright impossible) for UK academies to take loads of young Irish lads over or for Arsenal to continue with the Wenger youth policy;
- Celtic and Rangers given the option of joining league two and working their way up;
- A significant increase in the practical punishments clubs recieve for incidents of bad behavior from fans / racist chants etc, etc (I'm thinking points deductions and stretches of games behind closed doors);
- A requirement for top tier clubs across Europe to have a standardized and transparent interview process for vacant managerial posts and be forced to always interview at least one minority candidate as part of the process;

EDIT: Also, introduction of a maximum and minimum squad size (obv the minimum would be less important here) across UEFA sanctioned leagues

RodVelvet · 22-12-2008 01:10AM

Liverpool are a one man team. Without Stevie G bailing them out the whole time they wouldn't have won half the honours they have.

a terrific idea that should be immediately started.Has made a big difference in most american sports,well college sports apart if the recent auburn university incident which has blown up recently is anything to go by.

titan18 · 22-12-2008 01:18AM

Darren Fletcher is one of the best players in the world and should be an automatic inclusion into the United side

HalloweenJack · 22-12-2008 01:20AM

I don't buy into Barca and Celtic's "cultural ties".

Mick and Roy were BOTH wrong.

Kerr should never have been sacked/released.

Staunton should have been given more time (although he should never have been given the job in the first place).

The Premiership is over-rated.

Yeah, it has helped - but the percentage of minority candidates receiving top coaching positions is still way behind where it should be when you consider the composition of the player rosters at both the collegiate and professional level. But it has helped raise awareness and impacted on the bottom line number of minority head coaches.

Football desperately needs to address this problem. In the 16 years of the premiership, there have only been three black men appointed as managers. There is something wrong with that no matter how you look at it.

Its hardly racist. I am sure if their is a top quality black manager then they are in demand ie: Rijkaard. There is probably a couple more but not that many. How many top quality black managers do you know ? Clubs aint going to hire a black guy just for the sake of it. They want quality and if the majority of them happen to be white then that cant be helped. Also the majority of the UK population is white so what do people expect.
