I mean, we all know what happened over the last couple of years, let’s not even start on that – greed, incompetence… – but where is the fabulous Leeds United of the 70s on this site? How can we properly name and shame the World Beaters XI and Park cloggers XI when greats like Peter Lorimer and Norman Hunter are not even in contension due to the current side languishing in the lower divisions…
Bring them Back!!
So Spurs concede 4 to a truly awful Newcastle side who are managed by someone who didnt watch a game of football for 3 years and who can still only quote from the 1975 little boys book of footballing cliches. Are the Spurs players now mostly accepting that they are going to be sold and cant be arsed or just showing that two consecutive fifths were the best they can achieve?
The other sides who didn’t exactly shine this weekend were the Villa who are just a bit rubbish right now and gave their bit of help to Man U to the title. Chelsea who for all their money and players managed to make Borough look half decent. Bolton whose loss to a 10 man Arsenal just emphasises they should be relegated. Finally City are still in free-fall, which is a shame for me because Sven started his tenure at City by making himself look good and the press a bunch of idiots (as they often are) for hounding him out of the England job, but in a season has quite successfully emulated his England career.
This site all came about after an argument in a pub over how good the ‘golden generation’ of England players really were.
Some of us tried to put together a squad from all england players since Spain 82. Not many of the ‘golden generation’ made it.
So we decided to let others have their say too and compare players from past and present. Was Hoddle better than Beckham? Is Owen better than Greaves and is Lampard any good?
We don’t claim to have all the answers, (or even all the players) but with your help we might just find out who’s decent and who wouldn’t even get a place in your sunday league team.
