A European team for the 'noughties' 11:23pm on 21 Dec 2009 Seriously, the amount of people suggesting players from outside Europe to play in a European XI is hilairious. Also, i was thinking how Gerrard has been missed here? Surely a man who won the Champions league final on his own and the F.A. cup final on his own should feature here. Yes, he's been poor this season, but being poor for 18 games should not cost you a place in the European XI. My XI would be:
GK - Buffon - Best goalkeeper in the world for the last few years hands down.
RB - Thuram - Absolutely unbelievable player, still battling on.
CB - Puyol - There is a reason Barca have been thought off as the best team in europe for years, and its no coincidence he;s been there the whole time.
CB - Terry - The man nearly died against Arsenal in the Carling Cup final, and was still playing next week!! Never afraid to put his body on the line, an absolute legend.
LB - This was a tricky one but i would have to say Maldini. Like a fine wine, he got better with age.
RM - Figo, more flair than a pair of 70s trousers, Figo was nbelievable to watch
CM - Gerrard - Can win a game on his own, and has been consistently spectacular for many years.
CM - Zidane - Was there a greater player this decade?
LM - Giggs - Yes he achieved nothing internationally but he didn't have good enough players around him. He has been a fantastic player since he began, but has really shown his best form this decade.
CF - Henry - No-one plays the game with more grace
CF - Raul - Unbelievably good player, with a real eye for goal.

Manager - Alex Ferguson (best manager in history)

Subs - Casillas, Nesta, Ferdinand, Makelele, Lampard, Larson, C Ronaldo
What do you think of the fixtures list? 1:41pm on 17 Jun 2009 Is it just me or do Liverpool seem to always start the campaign or finish the campaign against spurs. This must be 4 years in a row now where we have played spurs on the opening or closing day. Not that i mind, they are a good team and its always good to play them when they are not firing on all cylinders or when they no longer have anything to play for. But seriously, Man U and Chelsea's opening fixtures are a touch easier than everybody elses......again.
Benitez deserves Euro respect 11:54am on 11 Mar 2009 i love how so many people are still trying to say Liverpool were not absolutely brilliant last night. real Madrid may not be the team they used to be but they still have world class players like Casillas, Ramos, Raul, Pepe, Gago e.t.c. I think it is time for some people just to give Liverpool the praise they deserve. The second goal was not a penalty, i agree, but if standing next to a defender becomes a foul when he falls over, then football is going in a bad direction.
England's elite in pole position 4:13pm on 08 Mar 2009 There are a lot of comments about Liverpool and their supposed 'non-performance', but any side to come away with a 1-0 win against Real Madrid is worthy of some sort of praise. Football is about results and even though performance is important, it is not as important as results, just as Man Utd saw against Newcastle, when they were completely outplayed in the first half, but still came away with the win. so instead of talking about the performance look at the result because after all, Arsenal are the greatest team to watch as they always perform well but they are struggling for fourth this year...
