Warren Barton gets about a bit like, just been on The Barca match as well.

Not unless he's suddenly changed into a Country Western singer.

It's not called Local Hero.

Fair play to Taggart as well, with all the shit between him and the Beeb.

Watched my old Sir Bobby comp I made 'Thank You For The Good Times' about 20 times in a row now.

Robert or Ginola?

Wants shooting for his hair transplant tbh.

The latter.

Aye, class player. I know its totally pointless to say things like this, but I wonder how good Beardo would have been in Laudrup's position in that Barcelona team... Or in Gullit's/Savicevic's place in the late 80s/early 90's Milan teams... etc, etc Savicevic was pure class, vastly underrated, same with Boban. Yep, when you think of some of the players that came out of Yugoslavia/Croatia in the late 80s and 90s they've made a big impact on Euro football (not that surprising that they never won owt as national teams when you consider all of the wars and that going on at the same time) - Mihailovic, Mijativic, Prosinecki, Boban, Savicevic, Suker, wasn't Vierchowod a nationalised Yugoslav... I'm sure the list goes on. Even Milosevic who played for Villa was a cracking player on his day. I remember how good Croatia were to watch in Euro 96, likewise Yugoslavia in France 98. Was just reading an article in When Saturday Comes last week about some gadgie who's supposedly one of the all time great footballers. Can't remember his name, or even the country he was from. It was part of the Soviet in the 80s. But whoever he was supposedly an absolutely magic player and is a legend at his club, who he helped to win their only ever Soviet championship. He had a horrendous stutter and was alchoholic, ended up in a loony bin before drinking himself to death at 35 or something like that. Was a great article - always good reading about great players who are under-apprecitaed by people outside their own clubs but loved by their own people, although obviously I wish he could have had a happier ending. Any WSC readers out there might know the one I'm talking about. I honestly feel when you look at all of the countries from Eastern Europe/Balkans who shone at USA '94 that group of Yugoslavia players were better than all of the others, I feel they could have really given a serious challenge at USA '94, what could of been eh? Boban the b****** starting a Civil War. Have you seen the clip of Savicevic getting interviewed, when he was mebbies 19/20, and some Croat starts skitting him from across the street? Absolutely brilliant, he just breaks off from the interview to give the bloke a tirade of absolute filth, then turns back to the interviewer as if nothing has happened! Aye. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOPLOelchgM

At least Boro's end of season DVD review is coming along nicely. http://www.sheepdogshop.co.uk/acatalog/OneManDvdCover_250_Crop.jpg

Wasn't exactly a great chance man.

Robert was absolutely diabolical in the Semi versus Man Utd, something which does seem to get overlooked by everyone.

How about we actually keep him, and buy some quicker, more creative players to bring the best out of him when he does play, as come Jan, Martins will be off to the Nations Cup, Viduka can't be relied on and the less said about Shola the better. This is coming from someone who isn't a fan as well.

It's usually HTT tbf.

That thread.

Thumbs up for that honourable mention J2J! My younger brother, the total idiot, reckons Brian was better than Michael. We've been having a running argument over it for about 7 years! Michael probably has the best vision I've ever seen in my lifetime, Romario even said he's the best he's played with man.

Not entirely sure what you are trying to say here but personally speaking I'd be happy if we just managed to get a few wins under our proverbial belt before worrying about how attractive and attacking our game is. We're not in a position right now to focus on how attractive our forward play is, if we have to be boring to get the points we need then fine. The more consistent we are in that respect the more the team will gel, and the more the team gels and gets to know each other the more things will come together, including how attacking and attractive we'll be. Consistency is the key. I tend to think that whenever I read any of his posts.

It's because he's not an ex Liverpool player man, he can have an unbiased view.

Is to me and Im sure to alot of other Newcastle fans as well! Not knocking what he done for us as he was fantastic, but we only had one year of the real Shearer as well.

I really don't know how anyone can rate Shearer above players like Zidane, Baggio etc

Honourable mention. http://www.um.dk/Publikationer/UM/Deutsch/Daenemark/enzyklopaedie/kap3/images/laudrup_m.jpg

Maldini Carlos Cannavaro Carlos? He's more renown for his attacking abilities than his defensive ones, Henry's goal versus Brazil at the last World Cup sums up Carlos' defensive abilities for me. Thuram would also be a shout for myself.

Maldini and Baresi stand head and shoulders above everybody for me. Paul McGrath on a domestic level.
