Rene Higuita Robert Enke Neymar Ganso Abedi Pele Gianfranco Zola Johan Cruyff (imagine my shock when i discovered that he's the current manager of the catalonia national football team) Christian Eriksen Radamel Falcao
That's about it. The rest I've never really went to watch clips of them. Pele isn't on because I think his ego is too big for one whose era is long gone. Maradona isn't on because he's kinda crazy in a bad way.

Just got back from a supposedly neutral bar while wearing a city shirt, which, expectedly, was filled with red devils. Thought better of overdoing the celebrations lest some drunk decide to make any trouble. Was expecting more goals than this tbh.
Both sides' lacked the finishing touch. Especially Kun. I was definitely worried when Mancini subbed in ndj, knowing that city sitting back would be exactly what united need to possibly nick one. I was even more worried when it's dangerman tevez who came off instead of sloppy kun. But the current best central defender in the premier league and city's standard bearer lucked the one goal that mattered the most.

Makes sense to hire Roy. He's got more international experience than Harry. If memory serves, Roy's taken Swedes and Swiss before. Plus his CV's not bad as well, having taken Inter, Fulham and WBA. Plus he's not as wild as Harry so he also fits the FA's profile of a corporate man.

I'm more upset that Wigan's going to escape another relegation scrap than Newcastle losing. What a waste of McCarthy, Moses and Al Habsi's talents and career.

At first sight Pardew's opinion on the Champions League made sense. But now it seems like he's unnerved his own players. Made them jittery instead. I'm counting on the Chelsea game and the Everton game for points now. I hope 6 points is sufficient to secure 4th spot.

So, umm, wow. We've got about a month before the end of the season man. Seems like it was only yesterday when 10 games in it's still early in the season. and Extha probably freaked out after the series of losses, highlighted by the 8 - 2 thrashing. One month before the end of the season and this topic is so deserted already. I can't imagine how painfully boring the off-season is going to be. No football to discuss. No football to watch. No football to bet on. I mean, there's the Euro but we all know internationals just doesn't satisfy that craving at all. Just look at the last time we had a round of internatonals. The topic was so dead it got purged. I mean, sure, it'll be sweet to taste the tears of Farcelona fanboys and maybe laugh at City winning the title but my gosh May till September is going to be so boring.
Sorry Extha, but I'm giving Chelsea the advantage for this one because of this man: Mikel Arteta. He's been pretty influential during the streak and I can't imagine Alex Song being capable of starting attacks in Arteta's stead. The best they've got for central midfield is probably Aaron Ramsey or Tomas Rosicky, both of whom must be pulled back from their favoured attacking midfield position. Chelsea's midfield of Frank Lampard and Ramires certainly seems stronger than Arsenal's midfield. Of course, Chelsea's fatigue from Wednesday night and the lack of Drogba can't be ignored so I'm not going to count Arsenal out. I think I'll sit this one out at the betting window.
i see last season's arsenal in this one; everybody sings praises for a well-played first home leg, only to be brought back to reality in the second away leg.
Awesome **** for all Magpies. Personally I wanted some more clips of the 10/11 season featuring those who paved the way for us (e.g. kevin nolan, jose enrique, etc). But great, great stuff here for all Magpies.
Ha. El Clasico. Having been beaten by Bayern, I can't see the now nervous, jittery Real beating the confident Barca unless Chelsea stun and rattle them tonight.
Why is everybody on Wigan's balls? There's nothing positive about them and their tactical naivety. Trying to play as if they are Barcelona with SPL grade players is suicide. They are wasting away the talents of Victor Moses and James McCarthy by languishing at the bottom of the table, not to mention that their team logo looks ugly as hell. Even worse, they took away Charles N'Zogbia and turned him into this shadow of a N'Zogbia we see at Aston Villa today.
