Personally l think both are two of the greatest players ever in the Premiership and l shall leave it at that.

So if he had joined Chelsea and won a few league titles he wouldn't be your best ever premier league player?

Who cares? I want to know who this player is that is supposedly playing hide the sausage with a teammates girlfriend. Paper says it is a current international and captain of his team, who slept with the girlfriend of a foreign teammate. So that rules out John Terry being back in his naughty ways.

Nope he still would be, he'd just have the medals his talent fully deserves plus the hammers would have a shiny new fa cup in the cabinet

Now l wonder who will leave MU as De Gea is certainly going along with probably RVP , Di Maria and one or two others one suspects.

We now need 2 points, maybe only 1, to secure automatic qualification for the Champions League. The qualifying teams have become harder recently.

Back from a fantastic weekend down South. :D

St Marys was rocking. :cleader::cleader:

Looking forward to my first trip to the Etihad next Sunday. Although I couldn't get tickets for the away section so i'm stuck in the third tier of the Colin Bell stand...:erm:

Just back in from OT, decent game all round. United much the better team in first half but needed a second goal. Arsenal came into it in second half and a draw was a fair result. It was also the score I predicted before kick off.

As for Giggs v Gerrard, Giggs has the most assists 270+ in the history of the Premiership, Gerrard ranks around 9th even Darren Anderton has more. Frank Lampard is in second place with 160+.

Assists is a ridiculous statistic, there's a reason why we only started collecting them as a stat after 1992 and it's because they're baloney, case in point being ozil, he set up every goal Madrid ever scored, what's he done at arsenal

As is the premise that Gerrard played in poor teams, he played alongside some of the best strikers in the Premiership, Owen, Fowler, Suarez etc. To only manage just over 100 assists with forwards like that must say something. And the original premise was that Gerrard was the best player in the 'Premiership', in fact he saved his best moments for the FA Cup ( v West Ham ) and Champions League in Istanbul.

Apart from a few brief flourishes like last season ( and he blew that ) he can't have done that well in the league or Liverpool would have done better than they have. He is a great player but is a long way from the best ever Premiership player, IMHO of course. ;)
