Good input. But I was forgetting about sports bras with transmitters. Would the 80's players have to wear them? I reckon that would do for them. No question. Scarred for life some would be. Easy 10 goal difference if they were in play

He wouldn't've got anywhere near that Liverpool team. They were the best in the world, ffs

Jesus Christ. Could you get any more bitchy?
Here ! Razor ! Pop over here and put this sports bra on would you please ? I need to be able to track how far you run, your sprinting speed, how much time you stand still and how many calories you're burning.........
**** off you ****
Point of order! 'Razor' Ruddock wasn't in the great Liverpool team of the 80s.
I wouldn't have volunteered to be the one to ask Tommy Smith or Jimmy Case to put a bra on though!

Er, neither was Tommy Smith. He left Liverpool in 1978 and retired in 1979!
Touche!
And Jimmy Case wouldn’t have heard you
At the same time, some things have been lost. Dont know how it is in the UK but here in Sweden the "spare time football" has decreased a lot with home entertainment (from the VHS to the smartphones and tablets of today) becoming more and more popular. I think the number of "raw 8 year olds" truly dedicating themselves to football multiple hours a day has decreased and that smaller player base would potentally have been noticable (and could be in the future) if the parts you mentioned had not improved. I do think the change in culture compensates for a bit of the development that has been done. The players of today "should" be 10 times better, but rarely is.
Another difference that is really hard to measure is that players today generally probably have a different personality and attitude compared to the players of back then. Today - more professional. They eat their cereals. They dont go the pub after every training session. Back then it was more a bunch of odd animals: pathological winners who couldnt play football, raw talents that couldnt stay off the bottle, harsh older men forcing the new players to clean their boots. People with nothing but football: no BMW waiting at home, just the game today.
If that part is better or worse today? No idea, but its different and really hard to measure. There are so many aspects aside from the pure technical stuff, and thats always been the case - yeah Maradona was a giant in the 80s, but in the 60s the defenders wouldve put him in a wheelchair after the few first dribbles.
Strictly football speaking... I dont know. Its probably like you say. I've swapped sides a few times over the years: sometimes believing football is a lot better now, and sometimes believing its a recency bias and the effects of more "action" oriented TV production.

There's a 13 minute delay on the M25, but he should be fine.

Cobham? Hang on a minute. A mate once told me that Chelsea train there sometimes. Looks like it’s done and dusted if he’s been there today.
Webster, Balogan and Duffy then on Saturday.
Duffy is injured.

Every time I see this thread at the top of the board I get slightly nervous that it's there because there are lots of people commenting on the strongly rumoured or confirmed transfer.
Then I open it, see it's just a load of inane b*******ks, and feel a mighty sense of relief.

I was trying to work out who the hell Barclay is.
Then I realised you probably mean Ross Barkley.
