Why? Ginola had more technical ability yes, but Robert's actual end product p*sses on Ginola's. To that end I'm surprised at how few have gone with Andy Cole. Unbelievable goalscoring record for us.

All square now... Just need one more goal.

Going, going,......

That first half of extra time was brilliant, shame about the rest of the match Michael Essien was absolutely superb today I thought, the man's a machine. Would grace any team. Have to say I was very impressed with Lampard today as well, a good performance even if you disregard the circumstances.

Flamini - Mascherano isn't a central midfield that particularly excites me though

James Beye Distin Laursen Lescott Bentley Cahill Muntari Young Santa Cruz Berbatov Gave it less than a minutes thought though, so bound to have missed out some obvious players.

Not been in the same class as Distin this season imo.

A slightly more positive view, taken from F365's winners and losers section: Newcastle United With so much focus on Keegan's deployment of Mark Viduka, Oba Martins and Michael Owen in a clever version of a three-pronged strikeforce, it's been largely ignored that the Toon have also kept three successive clean sheets. With four wins in their last five matches, they are also in fourth place in the Form Table. The Messiah hasn't quite produced a miracle but he has pulled the club back from the brink and inspired Michael Owen's best run of form in many a year. Good management is generally a matter of common sense but Keegan's deployment of Owen as a sort of roaming midfielder was a stroke of genius.

I agree. I quite like Gavin Peacock as well. It goes without saying that Chiles is a legend. Ian Wright is and was a terrible pundit.

Fumaca'd have something to say about that.

Completely agree. I'd be surprised if we're not in for him this summer.

That isn't really what the poll means.

Faye, Patty and Carr. Harsh on Carr, given that he isn't in the worst three players there, but I just don't like him. Live with it Steven!

You could argue though that it is none of Allardyce's signings that eventually rescued us from relegation, and that it took the removal of Allardyce's 'star signing' from the first XI to start getting results. In fact, Allardyce sold the two players that kept us away from the relegation scrap the season before. Souness failed, no doubt about it, but at least he had a couple of valid excuses, and at least there were a few interspersed positive moments. Did he fuck. And I voted for Souness, because he destroyed us. Solano and Dyer? Oba and Milner kept us away from the relegation scrap far more than either of those two did. Solano played predominantly as a right back, and Dyer predominantly didn't play. I think you'll find if you look that when Dyer did play, he got the goals and key contributions and we got the results that inevitably kept us away from relegation. No-where near as important a contribution as our two best players that season, Factamundo As for Solano being one of the two players who kept us away from the relly zone

I think most people would rather have 12 points than 4 tbh.

I agree, but he seems to have something about him. Worth holding on to if possible.

What a well thought out post

absolutely no doubt about this. The same goal as you have chosen We wouldn't have just won the title, we were on the brink of having the club, and success, I'd dreamed of I'm going to be slightly pedantic, and add Ferdinand's "goal" i.e. removing Schmeichal's wonder save. We were all fucking over them that game, and I got the feeling that had we got one we would have got a truckload. Same end result mind.

But people don't rate him as highly as Zog, so that's irrelevant

What do you think

Who's Fenwick and what did he do to deserve that? I am, and I had it coming tbh.

Dyer's was brilliant, never got mentioned again though. Much better than Henry's against Charlton shortly before it that got bummed to death imo.

He was fucking brilliant for the first 2/3 of the season or so, he was the main reason Arsenal were top for so long imo.
