*Official* English Football Season 2008-2009

[cpr]

Was nothing more scary than when Vieira decided he'd have a run through midfield and create an attack, was an awesome midfielder, and much more of a threat going forward than most credit him for.

 

[sledger]

Eh?, how could you not have a problem, Vieira & Keane don't & didn't have the attacking game to play up front behind a lone striker like what Gerrard does ATM.

As CPR said, Vieira was an awesome force going forward.

 

[aussie]

No doubt Vieira for a defensive mid-fielder was pretty dangerous when he decided to go forward but his attacking game was not effective or consitent enough to play in an advanced role behind a lone striker.

Haha, come on now fellas this should not be an argument..

Joe Kinnear stays on as Newcastle boss, good move or not?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

They've been playing pretty well under him, better than they were beforehand anyway. Good decision (not that many would've been putting their hands up to take over IMO).

 

[BoyBrumby]

Whether deliberate or not (think the bloke's something of the penis, so lean towards the latter personally) Kinnear has instilled a bit of a siege mentality (cf: his "you're all ****s" speech to the Geordie press & his "Mickey Mouse ref" rant) which has done the trick after a fashion.

Thought forums were places were arguments occured tbh, silly me.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Well AFAIC neither Keane nor Vieira were defensive midfielders, whatever CM said, however I can see this discussion is going nowhere.

 

[Uppercut]

What's that? Is someone seriously comparing the two greatest midfielders since the premiership began to Steven Gerrard?

d00ks is back for t00n, gun.

Jeff Stelling = Legend

Hope I'm wrong can see us going down our squad is so paper thin another couple more injury's would cripple us - at least we got Kevin Kyle on loan til January. Rumour is he is on 8K a week 400,000 a year for a player who can't run or trap a bag of cement it shows you how far removed from reality Footballers wages have got even at our level.


Winning today against the mighty Fleetwood in the FA Cup hopefully get a decent draw in the 3rd round.

Only because he's doing Countdown, anyone who's on 11 or more episodes of Countdown is liable to be awesome.

I hate generation arguments, because it becomes obvious atleast to me as someone who watched football in the 90's which generation wins, its the late 90's and early 2000 every time.

Keane vs Viera is probably the best battle in midfield the premiership will see for sometime, no one has come close to it yet. Arsenal vs United, you could safely was the best game going every season.

 

[GIMH]

whites in the hat, still got a replay to do, should have won it there and then, missed a sitter, we're ****, and you know you're **** when your fave part of an away day is the tunes in the car

Disagree, it's no generation thing. Cristiano Ronaldo is as good a winger as there's ever been in the premiership. Just like Keane and Vieira were two players a class above any central midfielder in the premiership today.

Only because Pat Nevin never played in it

 

[analyst]

Convince me of what a conventional winger does. He does not score goals, he crosses the ball and scores goals. For this Ronaldo fails IMO. The fact that he does everything else and floats around the pitch like an artist means he defies logic as probably one of the players of the premiership. I admire him greatly for that.

Giggs and Beckham are without question perhaps also adding Kanchelskis and Ginola with a few notable exceptions like Mcmanaman the best the Premiership had to offer. They did their roles as 'wingers' IMPO,

 

[GIMH]

I am uncomfortable whenever I hear Beckham described as a winger itbt
