Can't imagine why anyone would dislike Milner or others like him. He's been an excellent professional: works hard, never gets into trouble, hardly ever injured, not a world-beater but not unskilled, extremely versatile, and has been a big significant part of Premier League history. He's also thrice the player McTominay is. I think he's an excellent ambassador for the Premier League.
Is James Milner a unicorn?

- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
James Milner is the default create a character in FIFA games. I forget he exists.
If by unicorn you mean donkey then sure
Actually he is really dislikeable the few times he opens his mouth, bought totally into the Scouser propaganda machine and there were numerous stories from when he was at City about his bad treatment of club staff (the source here is Blue-moon and twitter so not the greatest reliability but you'd think people would know more about these type of things rather than say, transfers)
In fact I'm not sure I dislike any former player more than him based only on how he comes across, and then I remember Sir Joseph of Barton

I'd love to see a list of players that were playing when Milner made his debut. It's crazy how certain players' careers overlap.
Some hobbit ox hybrid probably.
This will sound like I’m joking, but I’d honestly forgotten this post.
When I saw the notification I thought “why the hell am I getting tagged in that thread?”
A truly excellent post
I remember him saying “feck United” when scousers lifted the EPL tbf

Guess he'll break Gareth Barry's record at some point next season. There are few players that are still active and playing in PL that make top 100 in PL performances: Ashley Young is on 22nd place (452 performances), Kyle Walker 47th (394 performances), Ward-Prowse 53rd (379 performances), Jonny Evans and Sterling joint 56th (378 performances), Lukasz Fabianski 72nd (362 performances) and Danny Welbeck 96th (332 performances).
Ward-Prowse is 29 so perhaps could get to 500+ performances but it'll probably be long before someone breaks James Milner's record. 650+ PL appearances is crazy. Wonder if he could reach 700+. It'd mean playing at least another season after next one.
Hopefully retires next year then
Sick of him
Sick of him
Still think it's wild that he won YPOTY fourteen years ago...after already having been a regular PL player for seven years
He's a shit player and he played for a who's who of the most dislikeable teams - Leeds, Newcastle, City, Liverpool, and Brighton. Villa the only team which are somewhat likeable.
What is a unicorn but a horny donkey?
Wait what? How has it taken me to the last game of the season to realise he’s at Brighton?
He’s like wallpaper, you don’t even notice him. A James Arthur song- or any of those others that sound the same, you forget them as soon as you hear them.
