I know Dazza, but Ronaldo was known to be a beast in training and always stayed behind to practice. Never heard that with Salah.

Arab, could you explain something to me that I just read on another thread.

They said you don't have to fast during Ramadan if you need to travel 100 miles.

How come such a nice rounded figure in Imperial miles? It can't havebeen the system used in Saudi Arabia one and a half thousand years ago?

And does it only apply to Muslims in countries that have gone fully metric if they need to travel over 160.93 km?

Be that as it may, they have both taken huge leaps in the space of one season that couldn’t have been predicted. You’ll get people that say they could have seen it coming after it did, but they are liars. Same thing happened with Harry Kane as well.

Watching players make that leap to the highest level in football really is amazing.

you’re asking the wrong person IOAG, I’m very secular.

In fact, I come from a Shia background and the rule is anything more than 25 Miles for us and the fast breaks.

I agree mate, Kane had failed loan spells at the likes of Norwich and Leicester didn’t he? makes you wonder, wtf is it that makes them change into world class players?

40.233 km in Iran then.

Your parents from Shia Iraq?

Iraq is 70% Shia dominated, both my parents come from Shia backgrounds yeah.

I'm a bit worried about the final being on a Saturday, because if we make it our Christian players will not be able to eat meat the day before.

I hope they have fish fingers because otherwise I could see Ramos getting a fishbone stuck in his throat.

Greece's oldest football club Panathinaikos have been banned from European competition for three seasons for failing to pay their debts, UEFA has announced.

Wasn’t there an Arabic mile used?

Arab, probably peds. Loads of factors really. Especially with attacking players.

In fact I’m pretty sure if you’re doing something very exhausting like playing football then you don’t even have to fast.

A mate of my dad's was in the hotel industry. Was managing a hotel in Baghdad back in the days of the Iran-Iraq war. One day a bomb or missile or something blew up his office as he was showing a visitor round the hotel.

imagine if after we sold Welbeck he turned into a 40 goal season wonder.

Iran war fecked Iraq over more than the Kuwait one did imo IOAG, from what my dad told me it set the country back terribly. Didn’t even get anywhere, 9 years of bloodshed and innocent lives lost.

Saddam was Sunni though, but he was also secular. Religion didn’t really matter to him, in fact it never does to a tyrant.

No amount of peds would have done that.

With all the work that goes into sports science and nutrition at the top level you’d think fasting wouldn’t cause these athletes that many problems anyway would it?

I'll be perfectly honest about this, the first time I saw Kane, I think it was a NLD in his breakthrough season, he didn't score but I said there and then he had something special about him.

Likewise Sallah when he was at Chelsea looked a very menacing player, though in fairness I don't think even his mum dreamed he'd hit the heights he has this season.

Much funnier than Liverpool selling him would be if he stayed at Liverpool and turned into a barndoor merchant for the rest of his career. Liverpool would spend the next 15 years in De Nile.

I don’t think it does, I mentioned on that thread Dzeko scored a hatrick at WHL whilst fasting.

Not that it makes any difference to me, but doesn't Salah look a wee bit affeminate?

Think Kane scored on his debut in the NLD. That season you could see there was something special but at the same time there were question marks whether he could maintain that level - I think due to being English many fans tried not to get too carried away like they so often have in the past, myself included. But the point was he just shot up to that level kind of out of nowhere really. More so than Salah and Ronaldo, who were already considered good players.

What do you reckon the reason is for Kane to not turn up against us Daz?

I think we are the only side in the league Salah couldn’t score past this season too

We generally deal with pretty well actually. We obviously pay a lot of attention to him which frees up their other players running off the ball which we struggle more to contain. As good as Kane is he isn’t that dynamic with his movement so when we deny him time and space he finds it harder to to score against us. Compare this to Aguero who always facking scores against us. Those are the sort of players we really struggle against. Though we’ve done a good job on Liverpool the last two seasons.

We’ve owned Liverpool in the league since Moyes left us

When we had demba ba up front he didn't score a goal during Ramadan then became really good after. There was a time when fans would count up the goals he'd scored since ramadan:
