    Yes mate. All class. You might be used to your slow paced Italian **** but I prefer English players. Sorry not to fall into the myth that you have to be a xavi clone to be good. English footballers, blood and guts, bar crashers, putting yourself about - take these any day. Condescending prick.

    Not condescending at all and nothing to do with personal preference of football. I bet if you asked a any pundit / journalist / fan from outside of England to name world class players of this century not one of the ones I just questioned would get a single mention.

    "I prefer English players". So you've not enjoyed watching Koren, Brady, Mcshane, Mcgregor, Geovanni, Big Jan, Bo, Elmo etc, etc. You mustve been devastated at our two recent record signings. I feel for you.

    Even by that definition we've certainly had more than 2.

    Who said anything about that? I don't mean Cole now in the same way I don't mean Scholes now.

    So you don't think Owen was world class in 2001?

    Or Gerrard in 2005?

    Lampard at the same time.

    Beckham in 2000.

    Does I prefer English players = I hate hull City players? No. I'd say geo and koren were continental type of players, we're any of the others you mentioned? No.

    Where did I say you hate Hull City players? YOU, not me, said 'I prefer English players' so I named some key recent non-English Hull City players who YOU said you didn't prefer. 'Continental' was never mentioned by you.

    To be fair Maldini is arguably one of the greatest defenders ever. And definitely the greatest left back of all time.

    Hmm, I didn't name any players who I thought were world class. Where did you get these names from?

    I wouldn't let others eat this popcorn - it's not quite world-class enough.
