No one has said he is fantastic, but having watched most of their games this season he has been very very good

May I suggest at 49 years old you should be able to accept other people's opinions that differ from yours without having to finish every sentence with a comment such as

"Well our forwards may as well not turn up" etc etc

You've already admitted you haven't watched them this season, so how you can have an opinion on his current form, I'm not sure

FFS I started this thread as a positive vibe to say that I hope he plays against us because I don’t rate him only to be met with responses pointing to the amount of England caps, Champions League appearances that he has and subsequently suggesting that I’m forming my opinion of him on from twitter and FIFA.

I don’t rate the bloke. At centre half he is lacking in the air and is vulnerable to someone attaching him with pace and I think we stand a lot better chance of getting something from the and if he is playing then if he isn’t.

If you disagree then that’s okay I can live with that

Sorry to derail this serious thread :rolleyes:, but ....

I don't see what one thing has to do with the other? I'm not far off your age and play games. Games have a lower age limit, not an upper one.

20/25 years ago, when online gaming started to really take off, it was genuinely weird when you encountered someone in their 40s/50s who played games (it still happened occasionally, and I dare say those people are still playing games into their 70s or beyond!), but that was because that generation never grew up around computers/gaming. The entire concept was alien to them.

People who are in their late 40s/early 50s now were the pioneers of computer gaming. We invented it. It was our youth pastime. Our generation were the first one who created, bought and played games, and went to school the next day and argued the toss over whether the C64 was better than the Spectrum 48k. This is especially true of the UK, and it's often said that one of the reasons we've always punched above our weight in computer programming and within the games industry is because most kids during the 80s and 90s had home computers here in the UK.

Not only do I play games, but I know loads of people around our age who also play games. I know people who have dedicated games rooms in their houses and have spent tens of thousands of pounds collecting consoles and games!

The press like to constantly recycle stories about how gaming (in moderation, like anything else) is good for you as you get older. The articles tend to be a bit cheesy and patronising, but they often say games are good for mental acuity and keeping your reflexes sharp. Beyond that, it's a way of connecting with your children. The one thing that will get us all around the same TV in our house is gaming (put TV on, especially traditional broadcast TV, and all the kids disappear to their rooms).

Coincidentally, I had a game of FIFA with my 8 year old the other day, going into the final minutes I was losing 11-12. I scored a screamer in the final minute to make it 14-12 (there's a mode called Mystery Ball where you get a random number of goals when you score). I was off, running around the room celebrating like I'd just won the (real) World Cup. He buried his head in a cushion. Two seconds later he kicked off, ran half the length of the pitch, shot from miles away and it flew like an arrow, straight into the top corner. 15-14 to him. Game over. Now he was off around the room/I had my head my head buried in a cushion. Then we just fell about laughing for about 10 minutes at the craziness of it all! Whenever he wakes up he still (days later) trash talks me about that game (really daft things like "I'm hungry but don't know whether to have 14 or 15 corn flakes"), and we fall about laughing at it all again.

You don't get moments like that watching Eastenders together.

and thats fine mate whatever floats your boat.

My response was because someone suggested I didn’t rate Dier due to me playing FIFA which I found a bizarre thing to say
 
YES Blade said:
So why do you rate Maguire? Is it based on watching a load of Man U matches this season? Or could it be another reason? 🤔

Haven’t watched any Man U games this season. I base my opinion on the last few years not 20 games this season, the same with Dier

Nailed in MoM today is Eric Dier, if he is I blame you 😉
 
Thing is i know quite a few spurs fans down here and each one of them think Dier is a liability
 
Dier to score now, nailed on. Jose's showed him this thread and he's foaming at the mouth.

I’ve been watching football for 40 years though and like to think I’m allowed to form an opinion on whether I think a player is good or bad

No you're not, shush....He's a world beater!
 
Dier misjudged the cross by jumping underneath it. A good defender would have cleared that cross. Do I really need to point that out

As gavlar said he was marking Burke, davies lost his man and didzy got there first.

Dier is way better than what we have available at centre half.
