Title: todays premier football Post by: Arriba on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 17:51:43 eboue's goal should have stood i thought.
and ryan giggs is a fine example of what a football player should be.never in the papers or after the limelight,a top pro and still quality after 20 years at the top.great goal today Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: JPC82 on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 19:28:24 Arsenal are so shit, Chelsea just as bad, be quality to Villa break the top 4, and Everton maybe even sneak above the Arse
Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: Rich Pullen on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 19:43:22 ...never in the papers or after the limelight... ...Anymore ;) Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: JPC82 on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 19:44:06 Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: THE FLASH on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 19:57:42 eboue's goal should have stood i thought. and ryan giggs is a fine example of what a football player should be.never in the papers or after the limelight,a top pro and still quality after 20 years at the top.great goal today Very true..........but Giggs still changed countries and that is wrong. Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: Rich Pullen on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 20:00:13 Ryan Giggs is Welsh.
Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: Nemo on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 20:02:39 He captained England schoolboys, which I think is his point. At least Giggs changed to the country of his birth rather than go for glory.
Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: leefer on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 20:05:46 Giggs is my favourite all time modern player..an inspiration on and off the pitch.
Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: THE FLASH on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 20:11:42 Ryan Giggs is Welsh. No true taffy would ever play in an England Jersey. Period. Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: THE FLASH on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 20:12:32 He captained England schoolboys, which I think is his point. At least Giggs changed to the country of his birth rather than go for glory. Go for glory? Fuck me.....was he part Brazilian or French?? Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: Rich Pullen on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 20:15:09 Didn't he only play for England Schoolboys because he was educated in England though? He would have never been allowed to play for England as he has no English ancestry. Either way the whole thing is a bit of a myth.
Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: DV on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 20:17:10 what pullen said!
Less about Giggs more about Paul Scholes, he's ace Scholes > Gerrard > Lampard - FACT! Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: Rich Pullen on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 20:19:57 Although after over a decade you'd think they would teach him how to tackle!
Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: dell boy on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 20:23:41 We have never been able to replace Scholes for England, or Shearer come to that.
Scholes would make a difference even now, but he decided to prolong his career by coming out of the international arena for England. Still plays in the even more competitive European Cup games for Man Utd, never quite been able to work than one out, oh well it was his choice, but country should always come first. Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: THE FLASH on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 20:30:51 Didn't he only play for England Schoolboys because he was educated in England though? He would have never been allowed to play for England as he has no English ancestry. Either way the whole thing is a bit of a myth. Old man was english and he fell out with him and turned coats... Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: Bogus Dave on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 20:34:35 According to wikipedia his dad was born in wales, to a welsh mother and a sierra leon father, and represented wales at rugby league. So really it was between wales and sierra leon
Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: Nemo on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 20:37:07 Go for glory? Fuck me.....was he part Brazilian or French?? If Ryan Giggs was on the left wing between 1996-2004 we would have been a whole lot more successful than we were. I think Trevor Sinclair got played there once or twice, was the real problem position for a decade...Thank god for Ashley Young. Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: Rich Pullen on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 20:43:47 According to wikipedia his dad was born in wales, to a welsh mother and a sierra leon father, and represented wales at rugby league. So really it was between wales and sierra leon ...and the fact that Ryan Giggs was also born in Wales. Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: dell boy on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 20:46:50 ...and the fact that Ryan Giggs was also born in Wales. So - Vinne Jones, was more Welsh than Giggs because Jones is a Welsh name and Giggs is an English name!! Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: Bogus Dave on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 20:48:05 Well yeah, there is that too
Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: Bogus Dave on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 20:48:45 So - Vinne Jones, was more Welsh than Giggs because Jones is a Welsh name and Giggs is an English name!! huh? Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: dell boy on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 20:55:23 huh? Vinnie was an East End Boy who played for Wales.Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: herthab on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 21:00:23 Some cunt on BBC3 just gave out the scores. I'd avoided them all day, so I could enjoy MOTD2.
Wanker. Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: dell boy on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 21:01:21 Some cunt on BBC3 just gave out the scores. I'd avoided them all day, so I could enjoy MOTD2. Early night then, they are not worth watching.Wanker. Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Sunday, February 8, 2009, 21:04:42 Early night then, they are not worth watching. Watching MOTD last night with a few friends we all remarked just how poor the standard of football was this weekend. Every goal (and there wasn't many) seemed to be scuffed, or a ricochet off a defenders arse. Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: oxford_fan on Monday, February 9, 2009, 00:37:53 We have never been able to replace Scholes for England oh well it was his choice, but country should always come first. any club fan puts club ahead of country. scholes is the best player of the last 10 years. phenomenal talent. Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: THE FLASH on Monday, February 9, 2009, 09:51:04 If Andy Townsend can play for Ireland then anybody can play for anybody!
Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: LucienSanchez on Monday, February 9, 2009, 10:30:59 Didn't Tony Cascarino invent a dead gran so he could play for them? The complete opposite of Stephen Ireland the other year, really...
Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: THE FLASH on Monday, February 9, 2009, 10:44:08 Spot the Odd one out:
Daniel Day Lewis Duke of Wellington Shane McGowan Andy Townsend (apologies if spelling is wrong) Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: donkey on Monday, February 9, 2009, 18:15:12 Spot the Odd one out: Daniel Day Lewis Duke of Wellington Shane McGowan Andy Townsend (apologies if spelling is wrong) Townsend was the only to play for Ireland. ;) Title: Re: todays premier football Post by: THE FLASH on Tuesday, February 10, 2009, 23:02:57 Townsend was the only to play for Ireland. ;) Its a good answer....but not the one we're looking for!
