Martinez press conference vs Arsenal

[Dithering Dougie]

The better players in England are elavated to near world class by the media irrespective of ability, it's an easier sale than admitting we haven't produced world class players since Mexico 1970 (Glenn Hoddle excluded).

Keegan, Robson, Gazza, Beckham, Owen, Lampard all acclaimed as such and simply were not.

At the same time Bergkamp, Zola, Gullitt, Zidane, Van Basten, Matheus, Weah, Maradona, Messi, Ronaldo and Ronaldo C. and loads more have demonstrated the chasm that exists.

Fans are sick of the nonsense.

Gazza was easily world class, so to was Owen in his early pomp. You could also add Gerrard to that as well.

No, Please, Gerrard is just the captain of the spawniest sporting entity on the planet which makes him the spawniest footballer ever, his lack of ability for England proves this

No denying their luck, but his footballing ability is beyond question as long as you're prepared to view it from a non partisan point of view.

Will be getting on a plane home soon after this kicks off - going to be murder sat there knowing the game is on and not being able to find out the result for 10 hours. Don't think it would go too well me knocking on the pilots door to find out the score...

Anyone know anywhere in Terminal 1 in heathrow that is likely to show the game - might be able to catch a little bit before I board.

I'm viewing it from all the years he's played for England, he's been on the whole ****e except for the odd long range goal, true world class players make a difference who ever they play for, a total spawnbag he is

Cheers Radiostar. Kind of torn as whether I want my plane to be slightly late so I can at least follow the game in realtime or for it to board early without me knowing anything and me just watching it when I get home. My hubby better record the match....

Please stay on topic.

Gerrard has never been much good at international level.

Good club player but not "world class".

 

[Allezfan]

HUH?

Compare Owen without Heskey to Heskey without Owen.

Emile did better alone.

It was only when they played together and emile did michael's donkey work for him that owen looked even remotely good.
