QBG Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/philmcnulty/2009/12/ever_had_a_hospital_pass.html Given and Shearer in. Funny to see all the comments from Man United and Chelsea fans saying that Shearer shouldn't be in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Well tbf the nineties was his decade, rather than the noughties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBG Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Well tbf the nineties was his decade, rather than the noughties. True, but to suggest players like Van Nistelrooy and Drogba should be in there instead is laughable. Shearer still scored a bagful in the noughties.

Hardly laughable to suggest those 2 have a good case to be included. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVN was only at United a few seasons and Drogba hasn't been at Chelsea that long. Shearer retired in what 2006/07? 6 years of consistently scoring.

Pilko Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Andy Grays team made me want to kill someone. Friedel plus ten top four players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 There was no beloved Wayne Rooney I think I'm right in saying, Pilko? But STEVIE G was there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Do you think if Given was still with us he'd be in there? I don't think so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 There's no way Shearer has performed better this decade than Drogba tbf, no way at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Zola's the only one you can really disagree with there imo. Would have Bergkamp, van Nistelrooy and Drogba ahead of him to start with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 How can Andy Gray put Zola in his team? I think there are 6-7 strikers/forwards that deserve that place more than him.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 It's difficult, I can understand why Shearer is in there, as someone on the BBC forum said, he was still scoring goals up until 05 in a team a million miles away from the one that Drogba and RVN were in. You can easily argue a case for any one of those three imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Shearer only had 2 or 3 good seasons this decade. Blatantly true, last decade he was clearly the best striker by a mile, this decade he isn't top 5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatantly true, last decade he was clearly the best striker by a mile, this decade he isn't top 5. You've always been one for your stats, Ronaldo. From Jan 2000 to his retirement, he scored 97 in 206 league appearances. Almost one goal every other game for a player in his 30s. Amazing record tbh.

Ronaldo Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Not really when you factor penalties in. Great record but nowhere near better than RVN. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of good players miss them, they still count when you look at his record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
