    Really? Bit silly isn't it? You can debate all you want about who's better and the whole Lamps, Scholes, Gerrard thing but to start calling him overrated is just daft.

    The info on there is also daft highlighting some of his acheivments but ignoring others and latching onto mistakes, mistakes that loads of players make.

    Gerrard one above Wiltshire <laugh> Some other howlers in there Baggio, Ramos, Sneijder, Asprilla.

  5. Gerrard's slip and then his knock-on that let Goofy in for his two goals, during the World Cup, will stand out among the very best comedy-gold moments in the history of world football.

    Presumably someone was paid to write that article. "Of all time". To be fair they went to the effort of including Carlos Valderama who finished playing as far back as 2002.

  7. Willie Young was the worst defender I remember seeing playing top-flight football during the 70s.

    He played for Arsenal, but that was incidental.

    Thats a good call Hiag but Ian Ure is the daddy of all bad defenders, also played for Arsenal & manure.

    Arsenal are compelled by law to sign sh*te central defenders - what was that Latvian called?

    Diego Costa is very overrated. Just a tap-in merchant. Nothing on the likes of Kane or Messi.

    Kane and Rooney will be a potent strike force next season

    And Tottenham. He was the original Judas, but funnily enough we didn't care about this one.

    Did you just include Kane in the same bracket as Messi?

    Lineker was a tap in merchant, as was Jimmy Greaves. You've probably not heard of them though.

    Moans about a player being compared to a legend: instantly compares another player to two legends! <laugh>

    Steven Gerrard as well. Guys basically been living off two games for 10 years. Hate Lampard and Chelski, but Lampard's way better. His stats are phenomenal.
