Postby ant london » Wed Dec 02, 2009 6:36 am

In today's Times. Some pretty glaring omissions if you ask me but here's the one in the paper

Who would feature in yours?

(4-4-2): Jussi Jaaskelainen; Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, William Gallas, Ashley Cole; Cristiano Ronaldo, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Ryan Giggs (captain); Didier Drogba, Thierry Henry.

Substitutes: Petr Cech, John Terry, Wayne Rooney, Paul Scholes, Cesc Fabregas, Dennis Bergkamp, Alan Shearer.

Manager: Alex Ferguson

How the fuck are Gallas, Cole and Drogba in there ahead of the likes of Adams, Zola, Shearer, even Fowler, Cole, Cuntona (?), Pearce. I know these are obviously very subjective but that's plop.

*EDIT - Just seen it's last decade (not start of the Prem as I thought), but still a few of them count!

Gallas ahead of Terry?
Jussi ahead of Cech??

The rest makes sense - perhaps they wanted to avoid slanting it so heavily in favour of Chelsea, but Gallas is inconsistent and a poor captain and Jussi is a great 'one team' player, but hasn't got close to scaling the heights that Cech has.

(Btw, Walmai lives!! With thanks to a kindly moderator)

Good to see you back, we picked up an Arsenal fan as well while you were gone, but they are a bit of a knob.

I had to change PC's and, for some reason, the old log-in (or noggin) wouldn't work any more.
It seemed to have no problem allowing the W-i-B! user name to be registered, but I was then offered the post count back and allowed to remove myself from the suffocating snood.

All in all, a fair deal.

So Walmai is Back! is honourably retired. Has BTA-Jim gone the same way? Haven't seen him on here for a while.

Difficult to argue with a lot of them. Shearer relly out to be in there, but not for Drogba, it would have to be Henry.

Jaaskelainen, Neville, Ferdinand and Gallas though? All wrong in my opinion. There are a number of better keepers - Cech, Reina, Friedel, Given just to start with. Terry has to be in. Vidic is better than Weo, and Neville is just a cunt who gave us 2 goals in a derby match so there has to be a better right back!
