Look a real madrid with him - best team in the world hands down at the time, he leaves they go CRAP and anyone will tell u it was down to claude leaving...
Same for a centre back, guys like yapp stam having been doing the job for years, you know when they have left teams, ask anyone man utd fan if they could of kept one player who would it of been, 90% would of said stam coz he was that damn fucking good... lots of other defenders out there throught the years of done the job but people look past them
The question should be who was the most flash or the best attacking player of all time, coz that is what it all comes down to really....
Once upon a time football was my life, a barly missed a match, there was no news i hadn't heard and all we would do in our breaks in school or nights would debate this and that...Quote:

I'll tune into the CL around the time of the semis and watch it, will watch a match of two of the big 4 are in it, but other than that i find my self to frustrated with the general game, what with those fucking idiot manager always whining about how hard they get it, never getting help, referees picking on them and not giving them decisons, yet when they get a dubious as fuck call classic answer is "i havn't seen it yet" but when their player goes down with no1 around him for adleast 10meters they somehow magicly seen him get hacked!
Then we have the ref blowing up to give something and him being surounded by half the fucking team and he has almost no power to sort it out... divers costing teams millions (few season ago at the end of the season ashley coal dived got arsenal a pen to draw with liverpool - coz of thet liverpool lost thie rplace in the CL and around 10-20 million£!!!!)
You are the man!!!! I totally agree. :coolclick:A class act in every way.Quote:

Wasnt that a cool timed shot, Hill disguised the shot coming from himself !
He poked out that left with his shoulder extended and in an overexagerated front stance and then went square shouldered expecting to throw with the other hand and Gomezez right followed his left as it retracted.
Love it. cc.
Thanks Andre...Quote:

When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Gawd darn you Katfight...stealing my thunder like that. I voted other quite simply because Eric Cantona was simply the most skillful and intelligent player that I've ever seen. Perhaps because the other three were from an era before I was about, but watching some of their tricks, skills and goals doesn't impress me as much as some of the things King Cantona was able to do with a ball.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Cantona, great arrogance
Remember that chip into the top corner, then he just turned round and looked at everyone as if to say "yeah...i'm fuckin ace me"
Great player.
yeah and after his karate kicking
he says

Sometimes you get submerged by emotion. I think it's very important to express it - which doesn't necessarily mean hitting someone.
