Maybe because they are good players, cause no trouble, good pros, kind to their mothers. Whatever.

 

You may have to justify though.

I'm pretty sure it's only Knox that admires Carvalho!

[Ripley]

Can't abide Gilberto Silva.

Picked because he is just a good player and I disqualified ex LFC (apart from Brad) so he got what would have been Didi's spot.

I'm pretty sure I do too. And I should know.

Mellburg pre-shave would have been a certainty.

To admire Carvalho is to know football.

[Jarg Armani]

fletcher and diouf??

[matty]

Isn't Hleb a nasty diving piece of scheidt?

Think the former is an underrated tidy player. The latter is a clearly a genius at making people hate him. He works long and hard at it, and has quite frankly shown himself to be the most loathed player in the league. He's set himself a lofty goal and achieved it, often innovatively. How many of us can say that? And again, he's a very tidy player.

 

USA is a genius. Hard-working, clean cut, gets his goals and can really play. I'd still have him here.

Speed? f***ing Speed? He's a right c***.

[Knox_Harrington]

Bullard's a good shout though.

[Ripley]

Bullard's a good shout though.

So is Primus

[Knox_Harrington]

Parker

The same Scott Parker who f***ed Charlton and his own career to go and waste his time and increase his bank balance at Chelsea? That greedy c***, Parker? You kidding?

[Gilps]

Oh and Primus is a god-bothering lunatic

Gilps in serious failure to get even one name on his own team sheet

McBride has metal plates in both cheeks. I remember he got clattered and had a massive gash under his eye earlier in the year and in the post match interview simply said "it's nothing I've got no feeling in my face anymore due to al the plates I've had inserted." That's pretty hard!

[Tosh]

No Thierry Henry?

[Knox_Harrington]

No he's not. Firstly because Ronaldo isn't as hated as Diouf but has had all the opportunities to become so. Seriously, imagine Diouf got Rooney sent off in a World Cup quarter final against England. Imagine the interviews he'd give afterwards, imagine him taunting the crowds. He wouldn't let it lie either. He'd do an interview a week. Secondly because Diouf will goad any crowd at any time in any way imaginable. Thirdly because while everyone knows how good Ronaldo is I feel Diouf's sheer hateability means people don't really get onto how good and hard-working a player he is.

[Romario]

I think he's a very good honest player and I've seen him on MOTD and although he's a paid up member of the God squad he came over as a harmless, nice bloke. That's why I included him.

 

The same Scott Parker who f***ed Charlton and his own career to go and waste his time and increase his bank balance at Chelsea? That greedy c***, Parker? You kidding?

Fair enough. Charlton got a good payday out of it too though. Just basing it on his Newcastle performances where he's been outstanding and gives everything even when he had half his teeth knocked out earlier in the year he wedged loo roll in his mouth and fought on. I liked that.

[Jarg Armani]

i suppose. come on though, he's in the wrong thread here.

i avoid watching bolton usually, whole club gives me hate ulcers.

[Knox_Harrington]

i suppose. come on though, he's in the wrong thread here.

Nah. He's at the peak of his profession, Diouf. He'll never get higher than this. But every time I write that crazy b*****d off he comes up with something new.

He was brilliant away at Portsmouth this season. By about 35 minutes the whole ground hated him.

[Gilps]

Right then
