Who's better, Zinedine Zidane or Titus Bramble?

Plechazunga · 21st December 2006, 20:14

"Zinedine Zidane" - thus say I

"You can't compare the two" - thus says The Chief

Make this a poll noods, or I won't let you suck anyone's cock till Boxing Day

sincher · 21st December 2006, 20:15

My brain just exploded with the effort of trying to compare the incomparable.

green demon · 21st December 2006, 20:16

I've always thought Titus Bramble made a better Steptoe than Zidane.

green demon · 21st December 2006, 20:18

Zinedine Zidzne is better at scoring points in Scrabble.

Jon · 21st December 2006, 20:19

Bramble, Zidane is overrated and bald.

green demon · 21st December 2006, 20:19

You can't run Zidane through a Barcode Reader.

Dr. Dwayne · 21st December 2006, 20:22

better at what?

Bramble is better at being shite, whilst Zidane is better at bottling it during big matches; however, because Titus Bramble never figures in "big" matches it is difficult to compare them on this level.

Why is this even being discussed. It's fecking clear that the rubberman is a spastic.

Plechazunga · 21st December 2006, 20:24

That's true

Reflectorboy · 21st December 2006, 20:25

It is obviously Zidane

In fairness to the Chief, Reflectorby, last year you too were claiming that you can't compare two players who play in different positions

What's happened to turn you against this amazing theory?

Eboue, no doubt about it

Spoonov · 21st December 2006, 20:28

would Zidane make a better defender than good ol' Titus?

Yes.

Dr. Dwayne · 21st December 2006, 20:30

In fairness, Zidane has won World, Euro and Champions League Honours, not to mention various league titles from around Europe.

Titus Bramble hasn't.

From the wikipedia page on Titus Bramble:

"Despite representing England frequently at Under-21 level, he has yet to make the transition to the full team due to frequent unexplainable lapses in concentration whilst playing."

They are actually very similar it seems, Zidane had occasional lapses in judgement while playing.

Plechazunga · 21st December 2006, 20:30

I reckon Zidane would be better than Bramble at pretty much everything, including being a big black man called Titus.

Dr. Dwayne · 21st December 2006, 20:33

Apparently, your comparison is not far off.

More from wikipedia:

"Although he blatantly has the strength, pace and passing ability to be effective, his infamous pairing with Jean-Alain Boumsong at the heart of Newcastle's defence was dubbed as 'The Chuckle Brothers live show' due to frequent errors and mishaps."

Seems he's not really supposed to be shite.

sincher · 21st December 2006, 20:39

I never knew that Titus' dad won £7K on Deal or No Deal. Fascinating stuff.

Well, I forgot what I said. But in this case, i certainly agree with you. Perhaps i have repented from my wronged ways.

Yeah. I'm a spastic for refusing to compare a one of the world's worst defenders ever, with one of the greatest attacking players in world football ever....

jasonrh · 21st December 2006, 21:33

I'd like to throw my hat into the ring for Bramble.

But seeing as I'm not retarded, I won't.

Congrats, Rubberman.

Yes. Just like Diego Maradona is a better defender than Gary Neville

A rake would make a better defender that Titus Bramble.

Funny you should mention that.

I've got a rake that's a better defender than Titus Bramble.

sincher · 21st December 2006, 22:42

You should sell it to Newcastle for £8m.

And before you say 'That's ridiculous'...

There it is again. What the fuck is it?

Can someone clear this up?

He thinks we can't compare players in different positions.

He also thinks that Richardson is as talented as Giggs.

UBERScholes · 22nd December 2006, 00:38

tbf on Bramble, he does vaguely look a bit like Forest Whittaker.
