    can't argue with that! Schweiny != Busi Busi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Schweiny unless you mean it wasn't a rigid man-marking job, which is a little better. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: bad mood? yes. stropping around the pitch like someone took a shit in his...

    Andy Carroll

    I was always more impressed that he stayed with Newcastle, tbh. when he joined, they were right up there. it was that he stayed even after it became clear that he wasn't gonna win a damn thing which impressed me. I always wondered, though. would he have moved if he hadn't had such an...

    Andy Carroll

    it's kinda relevant. but not really. Blackburn and Newcastle were top clubs (or on the verge of being top clubs) when he joined them. neither were classically "big" clubs, sure, but at the time he signed they were right up there. of course Newcastle fell away from contenders to also-rans a...

    Andy Carroll

    Zidane and Cantona were very very similar players, except Cantona was a forward, and he was consistent. Zidane had more skill, though. like I said, though, I put Cantona in my team for his awesome as much as anything else.

    Andy Carroll

    HBA said Carroll was the best English CF since Shearer, and Sewelly took offence. Viva then said some stuff. he mentioned Rooney. I then said Rooney was better than Shearer ever was, and Sewelly took offence. thus: the debate. :)

    Andy Carroll

    no. but did Shearer ever have injury combine with the kind of private life issues Rooney was having during that period? it's not like he just magically became shit overnight. he got injured, played through it and got injured again, then was rushed back to play in a horribly disorganised England...

    Andy Carroll

    well yeah I don't like it. he was one of the 3 favourite players in my formative years as a football fan. but judging Cantona is a weird one. he didn't deliver in Europe (mostly because his team-mates & manager were not ready for the CL - Europe had moved on after Heysel and the English clubs...

    Andy Carroll

    key word is earlier in that sentence, Champ: "suggest" I know you were offering up an opinion. and it doesn't change the sheer ignorance of the statement. but I'm not in love with Rooney, I'm not saying he can do everything and is the most magnificent thing ever (which you were saying long...

    Andy Carroll

    Rooney's had one good tournament for England, which is all Shearer managed as well. if I was picking an all-time PL XI, I wouldn't have Rooney in it either. but that's because I'd have Henry and Cantona up-front for maximum levels of win, awesome, cool, swag and just about every other positive...

    Andy Carroll

    honestly? I'm just gonna disregard everything else you've said. firstly because you're telling me what I'm saying, when I haven't even said what I'm saying. so that's a massive bit of fail. secondly because you're quite clearly in love with Shearer. you make him sound like Ronaldo. and then...

    Puyol played 28 games last year. Rio played 27. seems similar to me! Schweiny to mark Xavi. :lol: yeah that worked really well in South Africa. JM, yeah he's somewhat athletic, but still a bit leaden-footed. and Bruno is fine if you're gonna play a style like Villarreal, but I didn't get that...

    Andy Carroll

    400 Premier League goals? :lol: where did you learn to count? he ended with 238 PL goals. 379 allcomps. he was a brilliant scorer, but as an all-around striker he doesn't even come close to Rooney. even as a goalscorer he's not lightyears ahead; Shearer's career goals-to-games ratio is 0.52...

    Andy Carroll

    while Rooney is a better striker than Shearer ever was, and while Dzeko and Llorente are better right now, HBA is right about Carroll's potential for beastiality. (;)) he's only right because of his hysterical bias, but he's right. shame he's at a team like Liverpool. both because I hate...

    Neymar - v2

    well I do go faphappy for Africans and Brazilians and La Masians! but seriously, he's fucking bananas. 5'11 (which for us is gigantic) great skill, dribbling, dead-eye finishing, can play midfield or False9... just so much win.
