Ronaldo

Ronaldo could have bullied defenders the same way, but realistically he was far more useful recieving the ball deep and facing goal as opposed to winning the one-on-one battles. But Ronaldo's strength was completely natural, Shearer had to develop it when other apects of his game began to wane.

When we signed him, Shearer was just about the best CF in Europe - he is a better leader of the line than Rooney(physically stronger)and he and Lineker at their peak would have been devastating - esp with Beardsley behind them. Better than Ronaldo? No. And never stronger than Rooney during his England years, not in a million years.

Both.

The problem with Smith is his 'effort' is completely counterproductive. He makes tackles but in areas where it's completely unecessary and generally mistimes them. He also wants the ball but does nothing with it but invite pressure through losing possession or simply playing the wrong pass. Then there's the case of his temperament and ego. You're a puny little bleach blonde spice boy from Leeds, stop pretending you're a tough guy.

No away goals rule in the playoffs iirc.

Until we get the three know priorities in, it's a 7 for me.

By the way, Forest to get past Blackpool is evens on Skybet, jump all over it.

Blackpool, Cardiff or Leicester will do

I'd love him to go back to Leeds, my best mate still thinks he's a good player, that'd soon change his mind.

Fair enough, you're still wrong though.

Rooney has more goals from open play in less appearances for England. It's not a card I particularly want to play but wouldn't you have been about 9 when Shearer retired? What are you going on here?

Shearer took penalties, and like Rooney (so far) only had one good tournament. I know we all love him, but never is he better than Rooney.

1?

:lol:

Shearer above Rooney?

Hitman? Ha.

Beardsley.

Nasri typifies the Arsenal of 2010, great on the ball, full of ideas and execution, but off the ball? Forget it.

Gerrard, urgh. Ruined it

You know fine well it's Van Persie.

Aye Sam, and what do you of the 20,000 strong Blackburn fans who boo your decisions even when drawing with Chelsea?

Even then you were beaten by Man U. You just can't impose yourself in a game with the big boys and Wenger doesn't seem to want to compromise his footballing principles in order to do so

Couldn't you think of a right back Ron? No. I'd prefer Pearce there than GN.

I'm not gonna lie, if I was ever banged up i'd quite like to share a cell with Bojan. In the right light he resembles a pretty girl.

Benzema, 4-1.
