Carragher has never claimed to be better than Ferdinand (he readily admits he didn't play for England more because Rio and Terry were both miles better than he was).

So why shouldn't Carragher have a football opinion? He's been in the game all his life, played at the highest level, won a European Cup and competed for a league title (08/09). So what's he supposed to do? Walk off the set when they talk about the title race?

Smh at old Man Utd players trying to police other people. Carragher is a way better pundit for what its worth.

What I said wasn't to say he shouldn't have a point. I think he tries to discredit Rio's achievements and ability as a footballer with that SAF comment and saying he didn't win anything after he left United. It was a disingenuous argument. Does he honestly think Rio only won what he did because he had Sir Alex as a manager? What was Rio supposed to win with QPR at 34 years old? That and the Chelsea point discredits his entire tweet.

He's doing what Souness does. Anything attached to Ronaldo's name will do numbers.

I don't really care about individual awards like that, but if Jorginho finishing 3rd in the Ballon d'Or is making non Chelsea/non-Italy fans tight, them I'm all for it. :banderas:

How the fukk does Mason Mount finish higher in the Ballon D'or voting than Bruno, Dias, Kane and Foden? :hhh:

Of course it does but that logic has always been BS to me.

Does winning the CL make Werner a top 10 striker, given he played in most of the games?

Scored in the quarters semis and assisted the winner in the final. Iirc he was like motm in one of the games vs Atletico. He turned up in the CL. :manny:
