🇳🇴 I wrote something personal on why I was drawn to Norwegian football, and how grateful I am for the impact it has had on both my life and my career. Expect lots of mentions of Ronny Johnsen and Tromsø IL.

You know you're getting old when the timeline is questioning the ability and impact of peak Wayne Rooney

My only gripe with Carrick — and it is minor — is his reluctance to change his lineup. I’m still not sure how Amad, patently our least decisive and least productive attacker, remains a regular starter.

The

Viking-supportere, jeg snakket med Bjarte og Morten om hvordan klubben vant sin første seriesgull på 34 år og om en dobbeltrener modell kan gi suksess ⬇️

Probably shouldn’t weigh in on the conversation but I will: Wayne Rooney was a better footballer than Neymar, and that’s not really an outrageous claim to make.

Years to accumulate 115 charges: 9.

@gmkelly1979 Good question. Maybe, considering the dross he’s played with for much of his time here. He’s still been incredible despite these limitations.

The way Bruno Fernandes is perceived is very similar to Beckham in the late ‘90s and early 2000s. It’s fine to hate him because he plays for United, but just like Beckham, the notion that he isn’t world class is just silly. He’s a marvellous footballer.

@CasualFootShirt I am severely influenced by it being the Treble season and the first season my dad took me to Old Trafford, but it’s still my favourite shirt of all time. To me, it’s perfect.

Looking back over some classic photos from 98/99 - Those long sleeves 🔥🔥🔥 😉

Britain is 6% Muslim. Germany 5%. France 10%. Sweden 9%. Belgium 7%. At this rate of Islamic conquest, Europe will be majority Muslim sometime around the year 2847. I’d pencil in some mild concern for around 2600 and see how things look then. Now. The refugees. Since someone asked who’s paying for all this. Let’s follow the money back a bit further. America invaded Afghanistan, spent 20 years there achieving absolutely nothing, then left in such breathtaking chaos that people were literally hanging off aircraft. It then invaded Iraq over weapons that turned out not to exist, killed somewhere between 150,000 and a million people, and converted a functioning country into a sectarian hellscape. This is before we even get to the drones over Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan. The people washing up on European shores are, in very large part, the direct human wreckage of American foreign policy. America created the disaster. Europe is housing the survivors. And America is on the internet asking why Europe keeps letting people in. Remarkable cheek, really. As for eliminating indigenous culture: the United States actually eliminated its indigenous people. Deliberately. With rifles and government paperwork. Europe took in Syrian doctors. These are not comparable situations, and pretending they are requires a truly heroic indifference to history. The culture is fine. France still has the cheese. The Louvre is still there. Bach is still there. Nothing has been eliminated except, apparently, the ability to read a percentage.

Not a single other midfielder in history uses the ball as well as Iniesta did. The absolute greatest.
