    No one can beat the over hype of Wilshere. 7 goals in the Prem his whole career. Injured all the time. Plays one good game every 2 years.

    Overrated as in ability or personality traits?

    This is going to come as a bit of a shock, but since 2013, JayRod has just about had more days out through injury than Wilshere. Count back a little bit further and Wilshere easily tops Jay's total. Jay has had one real major injury in his career.[I think the nerve trouble might be a spin-off], whereas Wilshere is an injury waiting to happen. His playing style and poor technique means it's just a matter of time before the next one.

    Yeah read that. But Jay has also scored far more goals and looked a good player for more then one game a season. I am still worried Jay could be finished.

    No argument there.

    As to Jay being finished, your concern is understandable but I reckon he'll be fine now that flaming nerve has gone..

    Just find him very annoying and smug. Obviously no doubting the job he did for us but as a personality I didn't like him.

    I could've wrote "persons" instead, it's just who you think is more popular and feted than you think they should be.

    Must admit there was one thing that annoyed the hell out of me about Our Nigel and that was his insistence on calling footballers football players.
    Why ? What is so sodding wrong with the single word footballer ? :)

    In terms of Wiltshire it's both. How he ever gets a sniff of the Egland set up is beyond me.
    When fit which isn't often he comes across as a smug arrogant muppet. What's more Arsenal fans saw him as a future captain

    I wouldn't take a fit Whilshire on a free.

    The oxymoron of Ryan Giggs winning the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, he has no personality and the wettest hand-shake ever.

    That's just called irony. An oxymoron is a linguistic term which refers to two adjacent words which directly contradict one another.

    Ie: deafening silence

    I think Ryan Giggs is the antithesis of personality, a bit like Michael Owen's monotonous voice.

    Long, long time ago when he was just starting at the club. I met most of side, the players that left great impressions were Peter Schmeicle and Eric Cantona, Andy Cole was soooo tiny and the Neville's were giggling youths; long time ago! I have had a few of these random meetings, I was once asked for directions by a very well dressed fellow in Manchester who turned out to be the president of Barcelona, not that I knew!

    Sure. I don't disagree. But it's still not an oxymoron. An oxymoron literally has to be two opposing words adjacent to one another.

    Depends on the definition, I was just looking; would you prefer paradox?!
