Fair enough. These things always have a lot of subjectivity to them and are people’s opinions more than just purely stats. Not necessarily a right or wrong way. I just find the notion that anyone could leave out the club and Premier League’s top scorer from an all time PL XI a bit mental.

Thanks. So that’s why we didn’t do it then. There is a PSR impact and we might even get a small percentage towards his wages from a Championship club.

And yet he still managed to score a shit load more goals and also successfully change his style of play.

Ings snatched at two half decent chances near the end there.

I know Bruno dives and Gordon is also a bit of a cheat. But Paqueta is a step up from both of them. Diving shithouse.

West Ham have fucked this right up. Villa not in the game until about an hour gone.

Mad he gave the corner. Was blatant in real time Onana had just shanked it wide. The ball never changed direction or anything.

Shearer being omitted from a prem XI is more ridiculous IMO. But I only saw Beardsley towards the end and not fully in his prime. His numbers are ridiculous, mind.

Roy Keane looks like he lives in a home with that cardigan on. The grumpy old man schtick not helping matters. Ian Wright wearing his novelty Austin Powers geps.

Makes some worldy saves and is a great shot stopper. He looks tiny though and is another who isn’t great on crosses/set pieces.

I thought I wasn’t imagining it. The Other 14 used to always have him low down on expected xG against and remember some clangers on highlights off the top of my head.

Whilst Flekken has faced shit loads of shots this season. Is he a good keeper? Thought he’s always looked like a clown show for the most part. Not seen much of him this season.

What’s the issue? Perfectly understandable to leave the Premier League’s top scorer and arguably NUFC’s greatest player in modern (ish) history out of an all time PREMIER LEAGUE XI

Get your point, as well. But when did that ‘flowers’ saying start becoming common? Only heard social media football ‘experts’ like that Chelsea twat Rory use it. Now I see it all the while. Annoys me far more than it should. As you can probably tell

There must be a reason why we haven’t done that? As it’s been clear for what? 2 years or more now he has no future at all here.

Contract runs until 2026 What a deal he got. Must have set him up for life.

In the minority. But not a fan of that kit at all. Looks like a kit from a 5 a side league, a TV show like Dream Team or a Gillette advert.

Always remember a lad up in the L7 singing section saying he’ll get the rounds in. As he’d backed 5-0 and 5-0 Carroll first scorer. Only for Cardiff to score in the last minute and not long after he told everyone What a night that was. Coppers on every corner.

8th March. I thought it looked like a bad transfer with how he’s barely played because of injury. Then noticed it was for £27m and he turns 32 next month. Mental bit of business.

Yes and no. His touch and some of his anticipation, being a bit flat footed, head down and not seeing a pass. Have all been noticeable in his brief cameos. Not sure it has anything to do with being used to Isak, IMO. Of course he hasn't really had any meaningful minutes and I don't think he has played in the U21's either? So he could just be trying a bit too hard with his limited minutes and also have some rustiness to shake off. Especially with him already having a chant and being popular amongst fans. Despite barely kicking a ball for us. I certainly agree there is something to work with and he has some great attributes. He looked decent against Wimbledon, I thought. Considering the way the game went would not have suited a player like him at all. Against a similar level of opposition on Sunday. I am hoping he gets off the mark and puts in a decent showing.

Haha

Fucking hell. I've stuumbled onto Pedants-Online by mistake.

PL XI, though? So can't count Cole's goals in Division 1, can you? Or is it just the PL era? Bit before my time of watching and following football in a bit more detail. But I don't see him ahead of Isak if we are talking Premier League only.

Agree on Tonali. But Isak's numbers are below and I think they are more than worthy of putting him in the conversation, or in my case, a no brainer straight into the team: 10 in 27 25 in 40 15 in 22 and still going I also think his insane ability just put him above any other striker we've had in the prem bar Shearer (for different reasons).
