  • He's a brilliant number 9 but an average footballer. And that's fine, not everyone has to be able to play 7 different positions, or score a goal only peak Maradona could score every weekend. He's not on Mbappe's level but he'll score as many...
  • Chef (2014) Seen this a couple of time already and watched it again this weekend. I love it, it's a modern classic for me. Can't recommend it enough. 9.5/10 Also watched The Menu (2022) for the 2nd time, no doubt it's an odd movie but another...
  • dazjoe replied to the thread How has he not played for them?.
    Michael Carrick never played for Newcastle. For someone interviewed on Saturday morning telly as a kid with a Newcastle strip on, posters of Newcastle players all over his walls and a Geordie accent it seems weird he never rocked up there even...

    Pierre Van Hoojdonk - going on strike. Marco Boogers - Almost killing Gary Neville, quitting football, running off and living in caravan. Dion Dublin - Having a "magnificent" member
  • Paul Ince, maybe. Would be a United legend for sure if he hadn't signed for Liverpool. I'd understand if people think he's lost the status due to that. Did well at Inter but I wouldn't say he was legendary for them.
  • Over used to be Mount, never understood any hype around him at all. Now, probably Grealish. Good player sure, but a 100M+ player? Do me a favour. Under, I'd say Garnacho looking at some of the takes on him. I think he's got everything to go to...

    And Ashley Cole. The best team in the country and they sign the best striker in Europe, one of the best midfielders, and the best LB in the world. I remember those days too, and just thinking the same, no one else has a chance anymore
  • He's better than Seaman. Dave was a very good 'keeper but Allison ahead of him, for my money. Top 3 would be Schmeichel, Cech then tough one between Allison and VDS

    "You need a top class 'keeper/goal scorer to win anything". Heard that repeated countless times over the years, if you've got a bang average 'keeper then you're not winning major trophies, or same goes for a lack of a killer number 9. 'Keepers...
  • Surely Barca fans no longer consider Alves a legend, all things considered
  • Barnsley not Burnley
  • Andy Cole, Eric Cantona, Mark Hughes and Ole Solskjaer never scored 20 league goals in a season for United.
  • West Brom. Their history is just the same 10 year cycle repeated into infinity. Be in the Championship (or the 2nd division, whatever you want to call it). Be quite good, spend 5 years sitting around the play offs until finally getting...
  • Dave Sextons QPR were a great side to watch, lot of flair and based their play on the total football of the 70's Dutch. But won nowt.
  • Didn't Carragher start life as a midfielder, after playing there went and played all across the back 4. Was pretty much just a centre half so not sure if "utility" would cover him, but Jagielka was such a solid keeper that Sheff Utd often didn't...
