"Just fucking run about," Harry once told a striker who didn't speak English.

The Brazilian club Corinthians are keeping their striker Adriano "detained" inside the team's hotel in an effort to force him to lose weight.

Have you seen his facebook updates? some random poorly constructed sentence followed by LOL.

 

[rynnor]

He's a good guy - a thousand times more likeable than most of the english footballers - they could learn a lot from him.

 

[CorNokZ]

Can't wait for Holland to give England a good show of football

Perhaps it is nice but at the same time doesn't it worry you?

 

[Ch3tan]

Not at all, it would worry me if his performances were dropping off and we'd given him a new deal. But whilst he is still giving great performances he should be in the squad. He'll naturally play fewer and fewer games anyway, having the option there never hurts.

^ incredibly pointless naming him in the champs league squad no?

• Giggs has made a club record 898 appearances, scoring 162 goals
• He has won 12 Premier League titles, four FA Cups, three League Cups, two Champions Leagues, one Super Cup, an Intercontinental Cup and a Fifa Club World Cup.

INSANE stats........ surely the best player the prem has ever seen to be able to consistantly deliver for 22 years?

people will talk about bergkamp and zola ect, but for me Giggs has to go down as the best ever, he never peaked as such, he just turned up at 17 came out flying and never took his foot off the peddle.....

 

[rynnor]

Shame he cant tackle

 

[Wij]

Shame he cant keep control of his tackle

Fixed

 

[Vasconcelos]

Giggs is a legend

 

[Keitanz]

Terry/Cole have affairs and get shit.

Rooney/Giggs have affairs and are legends.

MAN UTD!

 

[gohan]

terry is a shit because he's a pikey cunt, cole is hated because of his mercanary move across london, and he cheated on cheryl, just why would you do that?

rooney certainly isn't a legend the spud faced orge

and giggs is untouchable because of what he has done in football, not in bed

 

[Ch3tan]

Keitz, they are footballer, judge them on their football and stop being a troll face.

A Cole is still England's best left back and a very consistent footballer. He probably should have stayed at Arsenal though, I feel he'd have been more revered in fans eyes had he. He's also been one of the best England performers in recent years. Cheryl Cole is a horrible horrible person with great PR, fair play Ashley.

Terry, used to be a fantastic CB, has always been a shit person. Great leader though, although he's jsut to slow in his old age.

Rooney; he's a troll and a cunt, but he's a marvellous footballer.

You can't compare any of those to Giggs, what he has done is simply fantastic.

 

[megadave]

cole is on the wane tbh

 

[Ch3tan]

Those injuries have certainly taken their toll, but I feel his under performing is linked more to the AVB revolution in play style. Don't think any of your defenders are really comfortable when playing now.

He needs to be rotated and quit international football, I read somewhere he's played 65 consecutive premier league games and it shows.

 

[Embattle]

Giggs is without question very good, as is Scholes but as has already been said in the past it does raise questions about why has it technically taken so long to truly replace them and can it now even be done.

Cole has been on the downward spiral for a few years now and Terry hit the buffers when questions over his personal life started appearing in the papers and his performances has been average in most cases.

I'll also always stick by what I've said before about footballers and their off field antics, it is often something that appears to be lauded while their compass is pointing the right way but as soon as it is revealed that it is in fact pointing the opposite direction those that wish to defends players start drawing a line between on field and off field which I will never agree with.

Gerrard assaults someone in a nightclub unprovoked = best player to pull on a Liverpool jersey.

Hurr durr

 

[Keitanz]

Nah it's just a little annoying all the shit Gerrard/Barton/Cole get for their off the field antics.

Barton has been a bit bad on the field as well yeah.. but he is still judged more for what he did what? 10 years ago?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

I'm so glad our legends are top standing blokes like Henry and Bergkamp. Classy on pitch and off-pitch. REAL men.

I wouldn't say that.. imo Torres in his prime was the best in recent years.. but Gerrard is the most passionate.

 

[Sydrik]

I doubt some Irish fans would agree that Henry is 'classy on the pitch' *cough* handball *cough* . Bergkamp on the other hand was a classy bloke.

 

[Aoami]

Ian wright?

 

[Sydrik]

Wasn't he charged for being a racist?

 

[Cerb]

7:45 the United - Liverpool game is on tomorrow at... Fuck that.

 

[- English -]

The media are pissing me off again, who on earth would want this England job. Look at Pearce, he's done the U21's for many years, and been a huge asset to English football, and all of a sudden they are turning on him like cannibals.. it's pathetic and franky not on.
