    John Barnes

    Sublime player. Gazza and Waddle were my favourites as a kid but looking back this guy beats them for sheer consistent brilliance. I love that second vid, the goal at 5:00 is magic!

    Paul Gascoigne

    My favourite ever english player. Total theatre whenever he got the ball and you just couldn't predict what he would do, and even his screwups were somewhat entertaining. Also, he was a massive personality (how the game misses that these days) and bloody hilarious to boot. I genuinely believe if...

    Thierry Henry

    NFL is by nature a stop-start game. Football isn't. Keane is a thug who will put the boot in at any opportunity. He is quite the bitter man, although i do admit his directness can be amusing, even refreshing. But i wouldn't call him balanced at all, his rage gets in the way.

    Thierry Henry

    I don't remember calling him a disgrace..? I called it a farce, and did call him pathetic, but that was in relation to denying it was deliberate. You are sailing very very close to my ignore button, and i dislike the ignore feature as a general rule.

    Thierry Henry

    I've no doubt it will never happen under the Blatter regime. Thankfully that regime won't last forever, and then..who can say? The comparisons with other sports aren't really that helpful. As stated earlier i believe the NFL vid review is pretty accurate, but that game is by nature stop-start...

    Thierry Henry

    Sorry, but i refuse to accept that either: i) this kind of cheating is what football is all about ii) a kickaround in the park is in any way equal to a world cup qualifier in the level of officiating needed. That is silly. Besides, the kickaround in the park has its own way of dealing with...

    Thierry Henry

    bwahahaha...you are serious right?! It went from his hand immediately to his foot, immediately to a team mate standing in front of an open goal. If that isn't a handball committed to score a goal what the hell is?? A goal which denied the irish a chance to go to probably the biggest event of...

    Thierry Henry

    get a grip? Piss off. The first he lets hit his hand, just because he isn't looking in that direction *he is still aware of where his hand is and the ball is*, and his hand is moving towards the ball. Possibly not deliberate, but you can't say for sure. Watch the replay's in detail fellas. But...

    Thierry Henry

    Sorry but i am gonna have to call bullshit on this. Go and watch the vid again. He moves his hand slightly to control it the *first* time then controls it again even more deliberately a second time. You may say 'who cares' and 'it's just a qualifier' but plenty of people (myself included) will...

    Andrés Iniesta

    Justin is clearly a wind up merchant who enjoys the attention. I believe this has gone far enough, as plenty have already said. Don't feed the troll..;)

    Andrés Iniesta

    I thought he implied that Lampard was better than Zizou as i mentioned earlier ;) Also one more thing to add especially for Justin. Though this is of course just one example and doesn't *prove* anything..but nontheless a nice little moment that has some bearing on this thread.. (watch from 0:10...

    Andrés Iniesta

    The bizarre thing in all this Justin is that Iniesta is one of those players who pretty much never does tricks just for the sake of it. It is always for the sake of not being predictable or for the sake of the team. He's the most economical of players really in that regard, actually in some ways...

    Andrés Iniesta

    The bit that made me laugh the most was Justin said 'Zidane was much better than Iniesta' and then later on 'Lampard is miles better than Iniesta'. Now where i come from 'miles' means even more than 'much'. So accordingly we can conclude that Lamps is in fact, better than Zizou.

    Johan Cruyff

    Cruyff, a great player without a doubt. But one thing that disturbed me was hearing him say that C.Ronaldo was better than George Best...? I just can't see how someone with as good a football brain as he could come to that judgement.
