It's not just a few on here saying he's class, it's his fellow pros who play against him who voted him in the team of the year. We were bad yesterday but a lot worse when he went off. Gundo should have gone off in my opinion.
Cancelo gets the same grief as Grealish who funnily enough hasn't played a minute this season in the games we've dropped points- Newcastle, Villa, Liverpool, Brentford


Spot on. Cancelo is in my opinion is a class act.
I also think he shouldn't be played as a left back, but as I keep endlessly repeating, in Pep's world the only defenders are centre backs. Full backs and wingers are interchangeable and one and the same to him.

Stephen Ireland was a misunderstood genius. Robinho was the only player ever to untap that genius. A shame.

Cesc Fabregas was wildly overrated as world class by Arsenal fans.

Gary Neville was not a good footballer full stop.

Far more should have been made of Liverpool condoning Suarez' racism.

He was decent, latter end he cheated, which narked Ferna over a few games I think.

This. Also, the fact that the 'ban' the club handed out to a fan for the Divock Origi banner a few years ago amounted to a total of one game (they worded it as being 'a month long', but this included an international break, and he wasn't banned from attending away games) didn't receive the attention it deserves.

And the fact that many of those sentenced for their role in Heysel didn't actually serve their sentences because they were already doing porridge for other unrelated crimes (over a quarter of them, if I recall).
