I always heard United fan saying that Zidane always rated Scholes as the best english midfielder. Well sorry, hes saying same about Gerrard as well. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...r-Scholes-best-midfielders-past-20-years.html
He was a quality player but a complete **** of a person (on the pitch). He was a much better player before the injury than afterwards though.
Gerrard's no angel either. Who honestly gives a **** whether they're pope material or not. It's ridiculous that we can't knock them for their footballing ability so have to attack their character instead.
Nah, Roy is a ****, it's not an attack, it's merely mentioning a fact, he'd probably say it himself Fergie said as much though in different words. "The hardest part of Roy Keane is his mouth" I think it goes in the book
I never said he wasn't. Suarez is a ****, Gerrard is a **** (don't you believe otherwise) but none of that makes any of them any less of the footballers they are? If Keane had played for Liverpool you'd be saying the exact same. So I don't see what it has to do with anything.
This thread has nothing to do with Suarez, and he's a **** on the pitch, not off it btw, you are now contradicting your own previous post "it's ridiculous that we can't knock them for their footballing ability so have to attack their character instead"
How have I contradicted anything? I'm simply stating that whether a player is a **** or not makes no difference to them as a player. And ofcourse highlighting your double standards...again
It's just Zidane's opinion. So what. Pele was better than ZZ and talks **** about football ZZ owes Gerrard a favour for setting up two goals for him in Euro 04
Keane was a **** on you guys loved him for it. Suarez is a **** and Liverpool fans love him. **** happens. Edit: I realise this as since been pointed out. Posted this before I'd read all comments.
All 3 are just an opinion tbf. There's different degrees of ****ishness and different definitions too where all 3 fit imo. I reckon we need a ****ometer to scale the level of ****s out there... ranging from the Suarez and Keane level to Giggs/John Terry, passing through Ronaldo, Mascherano, Materazzi along the way, and I'd include Henry too who was a bit of an arrogant **** while we're at it!
What I meant was, Keane and Suarez are seen as ****s by just about everyone. Gerrard isn't. Stevie, like with Giggs, Terry, C.Ronaldo, Mascherano, Materazzi, etc comes down to personal opinion. You would be hard pushed to find someone that agrees with intentionally injuring or biting someone. sure you could say the same about hitting DJs or cheating but those things happened off the pitch and I'm talking about on the pitch.
