[We Major]

Twitter rumours are to be taken with a pinch of salt usually but what's this about Walcott moving?

Netherlands Vs West Germany- 7/7/1974 FIFA World Cup Final - YouTube

Annoys me when fans try and compare 2 totally different players. Both class in their own right.

played the same position

only reason they were totally different is cos one could produce magic with a ball at his feet and one couldnt.

Gazza ripped those SPL defenses to shreds

 

[Yuzo]

quick question for somebody that knows: can you lean your body on people and use your weight on them in scoccer to do moves ie like post moves in basketball

Gazza ripped those SPL defenses to shreds

yep, eyeties too Lazio 5 vs Ancona 0 Serie A 1992/93 Paul Gascoigne, Signori FUTBOL RETRO TV - YouTube

only youtube match vid ive seen of scholes producing sustained quality was against fulham, and even then it was just passes and stuff

 

[Scottie Drippin]

fukking incredible performance he had against current Serie D giants Ancona in one of the four games he managed to play in for Lazio

Atleast that other small club player Le Tissier has one place that loves him. The only place where Gazza is a legend is a club that basically doesn't exist anymore and in the hearts of people who never saw him play

and even then it was just passes and stuff

Scholes scores more than him too, the fukk does this Gazza have to offer then?

So you'd agree Quaresma > Pirlo.

scholes = the least popular player in his own midfield. you know to this day people dont even know he missed the 99 final. its all keane nobody gives a fook about this dude

Somewhere along the line, you forgot that this post-prime Scholes hype is based around him being underrated.

Get with the program. These sort of lapses are letting you down

If I have a son he's playing futsal from when he starts walking.

Meh, what has futsal done, other than produce Robinho, Futsal is all over Brasil, yet, they haven't manage to produce a true class player since Kaka

behave yourself. equating a world star like pirlo to local boy done good scholes

oh no, he was just as overrated at the time dont you worry about that.

3 years without an england goal I remember, nobody said a peep. an absolute waste of space at international level until lampard saved the day and put him out his misery.

oh do you remember the one where he refused to play against arsenal in the carling cup (a game arsenal battered united 4-0 I think). hes a bad egg.

 

[Scottie Drippin]

Or how about when he singlehandedly qualified England for Euro 2000?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

A man of principle. Try again next week

 

[frush11]

Anyway, Modric is reportedly off to Real Madrid.

Hope enjoys sitting on the bench, he'll be doing a lot of that
