Sissoko

Luis Garcia

Litmanen

Negged for Finnan, Garcia, Firmino and Owen.

Allen was only ever rated by Stringy and Moof.

Fair. They were all good players (in the case of Bobby, is) . It’s very difficult to get an overrated XI IMO as most posters here are generally quite knowledgable, so not many mediocre players we had were overrated by the fans from memory. Struggled to pick a striker. Picked Owen because he was probably the most one-dimensional ‘top’ striker we’ve had since I started supporting us.

Don't you worry about that, Stringvest is going to be picking excellent players we all love.

 

Negging him will be as cathartic as it gets.

To be fair, it’s a cunt thread. We do this when we are doing well. We like to keep ourselves grounded by remembering just how shit we are.

And perhaps we can can take a then & now look and finally, genuinely thank our lucky stars and feel good about ourselves and where we are.

 

It's Christmas ! Howdy-ho !

Baros made a few quid for several forumites when he top scored at the Euros, think he was 66/1.

Yep.

[Captain Turdseye]

Assistant manager has to be Buvac. 

 

It seems that the ship-jumping, Snape lookalike motherfucker was the only thing holding us back for the last three years.

How is he overrated then? May as well call your thread Shit XI...

The only people who don't rate Henderson are those who don't understand the game but like to think they're impressing the rest of us by pointing out how shit he is.

Conversely, those who do rate him can't give examples of what he actually does for the team or of when he won a game for us. Whoever coined the nickname Ready Salted hit the nail right on the head.

Not for Litmanen?!

 

Or Dudek for that matter, no-one rated his overall quality that highly.  But he deserves every bit of credit and respect he gets for Istanbul alone.

He didn’t do enough in the bigger leagues IMO.

That was Silverlining if my memory serves me well.
