  1. Who is the most unplayable player ever ?

    Rooney at the start of the 2011-12 season was probably the best player I've ever seen play for United, with two consecutive hat-tricks against Arsenal and Bolton and an instrumental role in big wins against Spurs and Chelsea. Shame it only lasted for about five games... Not to say he was crap...

  2. Cristiano Ronaldo - Much Ado About Al Nassr

    Gretzky scored 1000 points in 424 games and and another 1000 points in the 433 games after that. Mario Lemieux is the second fastest to 1000 points and he did in in 513. In other words, Gretzky beat him twice. Gretzky is also the NHL all-time points leader with his assists alone. He has 1963...

  3. Players you had forgotten existed

    The name Marco van Ginkel popped up for me today, although mentioning one of the millions of Chelsea rejects who were once supposed to be the next big thing feels like cheating. Apparently the rest of the footballing world has also forgotten he exists, because he's been without a club since last...

  4. Which club has the best XI of players who aren't "theirs"?

    It gets more challenging if you only look at players who reached their peak after their time at the club in question. A lot of clubs basically made signing washed up superstars their bread and butter (AC Milan in particular). Southampton's XI of former academy players who are at best barely...

  5. Which club has the best XI of players who aren't "theirs"?

    Gullit definitely warrants a spot too.

  6. Who are the top 5 central strikers in the world under the age of 30?

    Alexander Isak and Lautaro Martinez, maybe? Lautaro has been pretty shit this season, but last season he was on fire, so the ability is there. Benjamin Sesko is also in the mix. I guess that just proves OP's point though. Neither of them should be among the top 5 strikers in the world. It's...

  7. Monday Night Football reveal the BEST Premier League forward of all time

    It's close, but it's Ronaldo for me over three consecutive years as well. In his last three seasons he won the league three years on the bounce, plus a Champions League, and his goal output was near identical to Salah's while being a more complete all-round attacking threat.

  8. Monday Night Football reveal the BEST Premier League forward of all time

    Henry was years ahead of his time when he came to the league. No other player came close to his combination of goalscoring threat, pace, dribbling ability and creativity. He was a world class winger and striker rolled into one and seemed undefendable at his peak. Before he came along even pure...

  9. Manchester United view sidelining Marcus Rashford as key to cultural reboot

    Bloody stop discussing it then!

  10. Ruud van Nistelrooy | Leicester Manager

    That was over a decade ago. His motivations have probably changed since then. I know I'd need a good reason to take on a job at a struggling club if I'd already been the manager for my dream club and had more money than I knew what to do with. I don't blame him at all if he doesn't want the...

  11. Paul Pogba - Free Agent | ban reduced - able to play competitively from March 2025

    Not entirely true. He was on fire at the very start of the 2021-22 season for about four or five games until he couldn't be fecked any more and absolutely fell off a cliff.

  12. Ballon d’Or 2024 — post-Messi era

    Disgusted it isn't Vinicius, simply because if he'd won it the streak of no player born in the '90s having won it would have continued, potentially forever.

  13. 2024 U.S. Elections | Thread Closed

    JD Vance makes my fecking skin crawl. I really hope Americans see what a disgusting smear of slime he actually is.

  14. Raheem Sterling to...? | joins Arsenal on loan

    I thought we were already well stocked in the unlikeable twat department?
