    Fairly sure it was Butt, which is why I remembered it. If it was Scholes it wouldn't have been so memorable, as most people thought that.

    Edit:

    In there time When Barton was at city
    Sidwell, Jenas and Bowyer were way ahead of him plus the others on the lust bar Tom Huddlestone
    Today take off Bowyer of course the rest are better on the pitch ... Each will have a great goal also to back me up if you think hard tell me Barton's best moment ?
    Bowyer was outstanding in his day

    Sidwell is the Premier Leagues most expensive bench-warmer. Useless at anything except keeping a seat warm for when a good player comes off for a rest.

    Pele without doubt is the most over-rated footballer in the history of the game. Pele played along side far better and humble footballers in Jair, Rivelino, Jarzinho, Didi, Vava, Garrincha, Tostao, Carlos Alberto etc. Even Emile Heskey would have looked half-decent playing with these greats. Now Im not saying Pele is that bad but Pele stole the headlines from his more talented and humble team-mates. Pele was the media darling and because he spoke English quickly adapted to becoming FIFAs poster boy. Pele moved to America on an extortionate salary and played in the MLS.

    Pele might have scored over 1000 career goals but lets be honest here...the Brazilian national league as well as the various state leagues are played almost all year around and often in the state leagues Pele was playing against very third-rate teams often featuring carpenters and farmers. Pele being the greatest goalscorer in history is laughable and its just like saying Ali Daei from Iran is the greatest ever internation striker just because he has scored the most international goals.

    After retiring Pele has continued being FIFAS poster boy and now he is Sepp Blatter's lapdog puppet ambassador travelling the globe and talking absolute rubbish. Its laughable.

    Theres also another thing about Pele - His character. Pele tries to come across as holier than thou but in my opinion he has absolutely no credibility - for instance that disgusting attack he made on Robinho and the very great Ronaldo . Here below is the link:

    http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2335072/Robinho-outrage-at-Peles-drug-slur.html

    He made Ronaldo and Robinho out to be druggies. Its so disorientated from Pele and awful.

    Then there was that awful 125 greatest ever footballers list where he picked ridiculous names and left out real greats like Gerson, Tostao, Tom Finney and Denis Law and instead included El Hadji-Diouf, Hong Myung-Bo etc. It was utterly laughable. Gerson tore up the list live on Brazilian TV

    I have alot of time for Scolari and he was blunt and honest of how the Brazilian players didnt want to meet Pele and that Pele should never be taken seriously. The link is below:

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/2144176.stm

    Pele also committed brutal play on the pitch too. In 1964 when Argentina defeated Brazil 3-0 in the Maracana (Rattin had Pele in his backposcket)Pele viciously and violently head-butted a poor Argentinian players nose and split it wide open.

    Who can forget Peles nostradamus like precitions like Colombia winning the 1994 world cup, an African nation winning the world cup before 2000 and hailing Nicky Butt as the player of the 2002 world cup.

    These days Pele travels the globe as Blatters lapdog puppet ambassador.

    Pele never ever raises serious issues or comments on the state of the game today and issues like video technology...instead he loves to play the lapdog to the Blatter cabal. Pele is a charlatan of the highest order

    Diego might have his faults and he does fight his demons and I love and respect people who fight and struggle and work hard to overcome their demons but what I love about Diego is he is so passionate about the game and his country that Diego would never bow to the Blatter cabal and actually speak out in what he believes to be the best for the game we all love.

    Pele bows to the Blattercabal and I simply have absolutely no respect for him

    No I am warming to him as a player for us but he is no great player I calling anyone to state to me when he has scored or made a wonder goal or been outstanding to a point where he has out shone the other players in a game? Clue it's easier to think when he has been in the headlines for a tackle or a red card .... Look at the foul on Silva ? Is that a great player?
    He is getter better for us true but he is QPR? Not yet by a mile

    Welcome 12. Good to see that someone is keeping the 'stream of consciousness' style of writing alive. Unfortunately, like Ulysses period James Joyce it is impossible to read after the first 3 words, so I didn't bother.

    A couple that springs to mind.
    Scored a wonder goal against Villa for Newcastle. And he singlehandedly led their charge when they where 4 goals down at home against Arsenal drawing 4-4.

    12 doesn't seem like a WUM to me, he just has a distinctive style of writing.
    Don't castigate new posters before they've had a chance to prove themselves guys..this'll be a very small board before we know it! (i've been on the rum too..apologies)
