Nah - rugby and keeping an eye on City v Watford. Could really do with City beating the shit out of the Hornet massive goal difference.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

City vs Watford here.

City have not been very good.

 

[Jack Regan]

Nobody watching Charlton v Portsmouth?

I’ll watch anything, me.

( it’s not very exciting )

I'm watching City v Watford, I'd be surprised if it's any better so far.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

To be clear here, you're genuinely comparing James Ward-Prowse with David Beckham?

I think I'd still take Becks now.

Christ no!

But on the free kick department WP is up there

And I would take anyone over Henderson!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yeah, he's good on dead balls. But you can't pick someone just on that basis. See Douglas, B.

 

[Jack Regan]

Free header six yards out for Aguero, shocking miss.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He isn't close.

Scores a couple of nice ones lately obviously.

But to compare the two is to say that Karl Henry is Diego Maradona because you saw him dribble past a couple of defenders once. Or maybe that Coady (much as I love him) is Franco Baresi. It's nonsensical.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

So

Henderson or WP?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

So

Henderson or WP?

For what? Prime Minister?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

No fan of Hendo but he does a very different job to JWP.

 

[Tony Towner]

Only way JWP should play for England is if NFL style special teams are introduced to the game

 

[Templeton Peck]

Beckham is in my humble opinion one of the finest players this country has ever had the good fortune to produce. He had EVERYTHING.

I just can't see where your argument is going Cyber.

He was a brilliant free kick taker and passer of the ball but he didn't have everything. Gerrard is probably as close as I've seen to having everything - English that is.

Gazza is the best English footballer I've ever seen. Then Rooney. Then Cashley.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Scholes has to be in the argument as well I guess.

And much as I hate to say it, our dear friend Glenn was pretty decent. Well more than pretty decent.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Never saw Glenda at his peak so I can happily write him off.

Rio was class too.

 

[Jack Regan]

City really struggling to break Watford down, 11 men behind the ball but mostly effective so far.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Never saw Glenda at his peak so I can happily write him off.

Rio was class too.

I hate to say it but he was VERY VERY SPECIAL INDEED.

Keegan was pretty awesome too.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Gazza is the best English footballer I've ever seen. Then Rooney. Then Cashley.

Oh there are players ahead of Gerrard for sure what I meant was that he had the tools to play in almost any position. In terms of doing his job for England it's hard to look past Cashley.

In terms of sheer ability Le Tissier then Gazza.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Gerrard
Beckham
Lampard
Gascoigne
Hoddle
Robson
Keegan
Hoddle
Scholes

Try putting that lot in order of preference!

 

[Jack Regan]

Preposterous refereeing decision allows city to take the lead.
