  1. Veron ... what a hero; definitely my type of player. Pure football; technique and 'intelligence' over power and pace. Given my hatred of United one of the few of their ranks I could genuinely admire. Evra would be up there too though.

    Guess it's a big part that's plain jealousy that makes me hate the footballers of today ... paid shits loads for doing fuckall of any merit and then lots of them just proving they're assholes.

    Thinking about it, if football wasn't a worldwide entertainment business as it currently is I think if someone suggested to me that people should be employed solely for the purpose of playing football I'd laugh it off.

    Arsenal for the double's gotta be a worth a punt!

  2. Since when did getting sent off get mistaken for passion?

    I think it's hard to like any footballer these days; probably always was for anyone with half a brain ... I've probably just grown up and wised up.

    I've been having this argument with fellow football fans that the average fan has a hell of a bigger interest and love for football than those we follow on the pitch. CRon or even Wazza (or whatever other stupid nickname I can come up with) would not be at home trying to get a stream for Liverpool's latest battle for Champions League football; they'd simply probably have better things to do ... they have the money and free time to and it makes for a serious lack of common ground and connection with fans. It takes a bit away from the enjoyment of footbal l- the genuinely impossible task of finding something to like about the players of the team you're supporting. Anyone over 14 wearing a Premier League top with some "superstar's" name on the back really needs, well,mmmmm, shoot(?!) ...

    Suprisingly other people don't seem to agree ...

    Arshavin is one player who does seem a little more tolerable ... doesn't take himself to serious, plays like he enjoys the game; also his websites kinda funny. From his questions and answers section:

    Hello, Andrey!

    Thanks for your game!

    I would like to know whether you like cactuses.

    Thanks in advance ...

    Arshavin: They are prickly; I remember we had them in kindergarten. We also had some at home. I didn’t like them then and I don’t like them now.

    Dear AA, having read your answers I’ve got the impression (perhaps I’m wrong) that you are bored of life!

    Sincerely, Africa

    Arshavin: I find life interesting.

  3. I thought he's a good pundit because he knows what he's talkng about.

    As far as I can tell football broadcasting media treats viewers like idiots. There seems to be one rule for getting on these shows: respect.

    Put up a recognisable face from the footballing past and people will automatically assume he knows what he's talking about.

    Great banter here from "the lads" ...

  4. Aww come on not even the most myopic of utd/ liverpool/ arsenal fans bemoaning there own teams strength in depth would count lampard as a forward ...

    How's everyones preseason predictions holding up so far this time round? I had Liverpool to win it, Man City to push Arseenal outta the top 4 and Utd and Chelski stuck in the middle of the big 4; so not so good.

    Readjusting for the run in I'd have it Utd, from Arsenal, Chelsea and then Liverpool ...

    Arsenal's run in is so much easy than the rest of top 4's. Rooney will keep scoring meaning no one will be able to stay with Utd and Rafa 's guarenteed 4th so it's definitely gonna happen (plus Spurs, Man City and Villa are too busy dicking about, being ridiculously boring and/or just plain average to make it).
