Burndens Bogs Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 There’s one bitter red on here. No doubt he joins in with the “Argentina” chants at O.T. (If he’s ever been) Man U fans were hated by all other fans of English clubs when they used to show up at England matches, so they decided to become “Anti- England” sad wankers.

Dr. Feelgood Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 We can't, Shirley, be debating whether or not Madonna wS a great player. But he was a moral vacuum both whilst a player and off field at that time & later. Too many people féted him and forgave him any misdemeanor when he might have benefited from firmer management. So, extremely talented, hugely flawed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England came up against a genuine world class striker two years later in Euro 88, Van Basten put 3 in the back of their net. Mind you England were so wank in 88 even the Irish beat them. Lineker, Beardsley, Barnes - all over rated players in the team battered by Van Basten and embarrassed by the Irish.I suppose those defeats were somebody elses fault I Didn't Lineker have Hepatitis at Euro 88 ? , and whatever you say regarding Lineker being over rated he scored 10 Goals at the World Cup finals , which by the way was 10 more than Van Basten ever managed at a World Cup.

Can't stand Lineker at the mo, overpaid and hate his opinions and how he voices them. But as a modern day striker playing up front on his own, he was superb, better than Shearer IMHO, for what its worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On reflection I was harsh on Lineker, he was a world class goalscorer although in a lower tier of world class than some including Van Basten.It's all about opinions, mine is that Van Basten was the world's best attacking player in the gap between Maradona's peak and Messi/Ronaldo.

SatanGreavsie Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Well a slightly different way to ask it. Let's say you've got a team who are "doing a Leicester" in the Prem, so really motoring, playing for each other and getting the results without mega stars being present. But unlike Leicester's season, a couple of the big boys are also on form and so you need summat extra to keep up with them and then crack on to the title. You get to draft in one player of your choice from of all the great names in the thread, at any position, in order to push on for the title. Which one?

snowball Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Very sad to hear a player like Van Basten saying he wished he had retired earlier due to his injuries seriously affecting his quality if life after his retirement. we can still enjoy his goals but hes been in agony a lot of the time.
