LFC - The 'most knowledgeable fans', except for when it comes to the basics of the English language. The occasional typo is fine - no one has a problem with that. I'm just glad that I don't have to debate in person with the likes of coolflames, faz or gnp-uk, as it appears that they can barely string a sentence together. My apologies if either of you are 11yr old girls, or nigerians. To be fair to 11yr old girls, females generally seem to be better at language than us lot...

Perhaps that is your opinion, however I have heard several footballers from the past say that todays players are far fitter due to the increased level of targeted training. Also keep in mind that back in the day, a lot of the teams were made up of part time footballers who trained maybe 3 or 4 times a week, not like today where they have 2 training sessions a day...

yes good points there, do you think players better diets and training help players more then, what I mean is players training these days is more tailored to running on beautiful pitches whereas years ago you needed different types of training to withstand heavy, mud and waterlogged pics not to mention knee high challenges, you also had to contend with nearly 80 games a season if you happend to be a good team. I can't see how players today could be fitter when most can't play two games in a week and need resting, they also can't play a game abroad without traveling first class and stay in a five star hotel with comfy bed with there own Chef with them, just a thought.

You could compare that to an f1 car and a rally car. Sure the rally car would cream the f1 on a dirt track and the f1 would be supreme on a road to which it was designed for. f1 vs rally vs road The difference though would be that human beings can adapt to their environment. So you could dump a modern day footballer in the past and he'll end up getting massacred for a season or two but he would get used to it eventually. Similarly you could go grab Tommy Smith and bring him in todays game and he would spend most of his time banned to begin with. Then I'm sure he would adapt.. probably.

Would a person who can run 100 metres on sand in 12,seconds be faster than Usain Bolt if he was allowed to run and train on that track in Monaco or something, think he would myself like.
