baresi v. baggio v. pires... how to choose, i don't have a three sided coin to flip.

Why does no-one ever use Kanu's first name?

― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 20 October 2010 06:19 (fifteen years ago)

because a name like nwankwu is too funny to oversaturate the joek

― O holy ruler of ILF (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 20 October 2010 07:10 (fifteen years ago)

Gary Neville better than Henrik Larsson? Nerd FAIL.

Bobby.

― Inspector Anthony Slade, Wednesday, 20 October 2010 08:29 (fifteen years ago)

Wonder how many votes the little fouling ginger cunt will get?

― James Mitchell, Wednesday, 20 October 2010 08:34 (fifteen years ago)

jan koller?

― I see what this is (Local Garda), Wednesday, 20 October 2010 10:47 (fifteen years ago)

Baresi, Baggio, Keane or Neeskens.

Hen doesn't get a look-in again, which I feel terrible about.

― cant believe you sb'd me for that (darraghmac), Wednesday, 20 October 2010 10:52 (fifteen years ago)

went Baggio. his come-back was inspiring.

― cant believe you sb'd me for that (darraghmac), Wednesday, 20 October 2010 10:53 (fifteen years ago)

went Valderrama. hair mostly.

please tell me Dino is about 50 places higher up this list than Roberto btw

― Uncharted: Nick Drake's Fortune (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 20 October 2010 10:54 (fifteen years ago)

for the blackburn year

― cant believe you sb'd me for that (darraghmac), Wednesday, 20 October 2010 10:56 (fifteen years ago)

was laughing at first Neville, then Tomasson. Didn't even notice Koller.

I'm guessing there's a premium for being active round the turn of the century?

― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 20 October 2010 11:03 (fifteen years ago)

man utd team of 99 would have beaten busby babes 10-0 iirc

― cant believe you sb'd me for that (darraghmac), Wednesday, 20 October 2010 11:04 (fifteen years ago)

And would in turn lose 1-0 to Spain '10

― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 20 October 2010 11:20 (fifteen years ago)

don't look at me, that's a schemichel quote that caused quite the stir at the time

― cant believe you sb'd me for that (darraghmac), Wednesday, 20 October 2010 11:21 (fifteen years ago)

Someone once asked one of the Lisbon Lions (probably Jimmy Johnstone, might not have been though) how they thought they'd get on against the Rangers team that won 9-in-a-row in the 90s. Conversation went a bit like this "I think it'd be close, maybe a draw?" was the reply. "Really?" asked the hapless journo. "Aye," says the Lisbon Lion, "but you've got to remember, we're all about 60 now".

Perhaps that's what Schmeichel meant?

― ailsa, Wednesday, 20 October 2010 13:38 (fifteen years ago)

definitely not. he was quite specific.

― cant believe you sb'd me for that (darraghmac), Wednesday, 20 October 2010 13:43 (fifteen years ago)

― sock lobster (blueski), Wednesday, 20 October 2010 13:44 (fifteen years ago)

― cant believe you sb'd me for that (darraghmac), Wednesday, 20 October 2010 13:46 (fifteen years ago)

Elbowing dudes in the face not factored into the score.

― Uncharted: Nick Drake's Fortune (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 20 October 2010 13:46 (fifteen years ago)

― cant believe you sb'd me for that (darraghmac), Wednesday, 20 October 2010 13:46 (fifteen years ago)

pl goalscoring record alone, different level.

― cant believe you sb'd me for that (darraghmac), Wednesday, 20 October 2010 13:46 (fifteen years ago)

I think we can all agree the "system" used to generate this list is gash.

― Uncharted: Nick Drake's Fortune (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 20 October 2010 13:48 (fifteen years ago)

a hoy hoy should be defending this

― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 20 October 2010 13:49 (fifteen years ago)
