I beg folks don't let this turn into another big debate about us losing Pedro, Gazza & Waddle and just appreciate the genius that Beardsley was.

Kudos to anyone who posts the picture of his mighty maggot out in force versus Holland.

If John Terry can get away with being a racist twat then no I don't.

Bit like Ronaldo actually. Ronaldo's only young tbh, and his performances in big games is improving from what I've seen. Totti never seemed to do so. He might be talking about the fat one and his crumble in the WC finals against France. No because saying the Ronaldo doesn't show up for big games is absurd. Then again what can you do if you have a fit the night before a World Cup final and are still your teams best player despite looking nowhere near any of the player during the tournament who was far better than anyone else. He had a nervous breakdown as the pressure on him was too much. He was utter shite that match, the worst player on the pitch. Yet the only Brazilian who looked like scoring, funny that. The pressure on him was so much that he came back four years later despite playing only a season and a half of footy to score twice in the World Cup final and then also totaling up the highest tally of goals someone has scored for 32 years. Brazil collapsed under the media pressure when reports of him banging his head off the wall in his hotel room were released, everyone was stunned, even more so that he was playing to be fair. There have been plenty of big night Champions league games where he hasn't performed, but seems to get lots of goals against the weaker teams. It really all depends on how fat he is on how well he can play. Fat Ronaldo is not on physically shite, he's mentally not up for it. Loses a stone or so moving to Milan and is in amongst the goals already, the hunger is back, but for how long? By next season he'll be looking for a new club imo. For someone who's not mentally up for it if you can tell me a better striker over the past decade then be my guest but I certainly cannot think of one, he's done pretty well for a player who is only 60% of the one who we saw from 96-99. Brazil collapsed due to the fact Edmundo had a 70 year old Mario Zagallo by the throat and all of the in fighting in that team. When Ronaldo wants it he's immense, but too many times he's let himself go and had to battle back to either regain fitness of form, usually both. Why is he 60% of the player we saw back then? Can't really blame injuries, not been that bad compared to Shearer who still managed to score frequently after his. Ronaldo has also managed to score more than frequently after his injuries as well but he's still only 60% of the player he was before it, Michael Owen's not a patch on the player before his injuries either, Shearer wasn't a patch on the player from 92-97 after he done his ankle, Gazza after that cup final etc. If you can't blame injuries then what else is there to blame? before his injuries he's the only player I've ever seen who had the ability when he was anywhere within 50 yards from goal where you fancied to beat all of the players in front of him and actually score (as Maradona's prime was too early for me) and the knee injuries took all that away from him due to his inability to be able to train barely on his knees thus loosing his stamina and conditioning and him having to convert into more of a predator. He wasn't even that player in 2002 but still managed all of those goals. Do you think that's what happened to Ronaldo, or does he just have a tendency to get complacent? A bit of both actually, although you still haven't managed to answer my question and name me a better striker of the past decade. Personal opinion, better striker? Shearer Shevchenko Henry IMO of course. In his prime which of course was not for very long I don't see any of them matching Ronaldo, he was always a level about the competition, and that is a huge compliment when you consider the glut of top class strikers around then compared to now. There was Shearer, Weah, Batistuta but I can't see any of them matching what Ronaldo brought to the table when he signed for Barcelona in '96. The mobile Shearer from 92-97 was the best striker I've seen over here I used to love watching him play, didn't it feel great when we'd signed the best striker in the world? still loved watching him even when he lost the legs all be it being completely different and having to operate down the centre with his back to goal instead of the running down the channel when he'd also put in some of the best crosses you'd see. You can never stop the footballing brain he had even if the legs couldn't catch up with it. I know I'm not alone despite the great service we got feeling a little bit robbed after that wet summer's afternoon in Goodison.

Those folk are all locked up at this time of night.

Care to elaborate and give a valid reason why you find this post so hilarious? blueyes.gif

On current form this is the best player in the world. http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2006/06/19/totti_gallery__323x400,0.jpg

Ba dum tsch.

What a darft thread.

He's a nob of the highest order, not for any of the stuff that's come to light but the majority of stuff he done down at Hartlepool that never got leaked.

Same level tactically to be honest. Roeders just a little more sane and not as arrogant. If I'd have achieved most of what Souness did even as a player I'd be arrogant as well like.

Don't say that out loud man, he had a canny game against Barca so of course he's been the best defender this season.

Skirge man that sig.

I thought it was a blatant dive. Thought Barca were unlucky not to get two penalties too, one for someone clattering Ronaldinho and the other for a trip on Messi. bah, I'm just pleased that they didn't win. All the lavish praises of their attacking trio begining to get to me (you'd think they have 3 Maradonas on top form playing for them) Well they do have possibly the best player in the world, the most talented young player in world (no doubt in my mind) who is possibly the best talent Argentina have produced since Maradona and one of the top 3 strikers in the world so somehow I think the praise is due. I can agree that individually, they have a super super strikeforce, but as a team, they have not always clicked (especially of late). That's what irritates me, it's like the press can't see that they are not playing well and are just blinded by their individual ability. Most people know they aren't playing well as a unit, however you need to remember they've been missing both Eto'o and Messi for the majority of the season and they are both just getting back to match fitness and finding themselves.

GK: James: Seems to get better with age. RB: Solano: Been a revelation in the position which he started his career, a real calming influence at the back, topped off with a performance of Ronaldo not getting a sniff on New Years Day. CB: Campbell: Finished eh? CB: Woodgate: Showing everyone when he does play what a class act he is. LB: Shorey: A breath of thresh air, just like the time he's been playing for. RM: Cristiano Ronaldo: Finally an end product, been an absolute revelation all season. LM: Van Persie: Despite playing a lot of front he has played there this season and got a hell of a lot of goals for his troubles. CM: Scholes: Best central midfielder this country has produced since Gascoigne and has had a fantastic season, gets on with his job with the minimum of fuss. What a player he has been. CM: Essien: Started off the season a revelation and hasn't had the same impact lately but this is due to his versatility and the fact he's been covering every position due to Chelsea's so called injury crisis. CF: Drogbar: Scored some outstanding goals this season and has been a real menace and on his day is as good as anyone, and the thing this season is his day has been the majority of games. CF: Anelka: Really really impressed me this season with his attitude and the fact he's been willing to do a job for the team.

Who were? Well I cant be arsed to dig up the quotes now but im pretty sure he confirmed an interest in Babel? and probably a few others players who wouldn't have come for free. Plus didn't he confirm he tried to sign Huth in the summer? You forgot your lover Jon.

Who were?
