Pretty sure I followed Djibril out of town late Sunday morning :slight_smile: If it wasn’t him it must have been someone who was in town to try and sell him their number plate!

Voted for fowler and Sol Campbell.

Voted Robbie and Sir Les.

Morally there is no way I could vote for Michael after he jumped to the dark side and signed for the scum. Similar with Cole. Stat wise, he should be in there, but having played for THAT mob, I just can’t vote for him

I went Fowler and Van Der Sar

Eventually they will all get in? So it’s not really a big deal, it only depends in which order.

Voted for both Fowler and Owen.

It didn’t feel great when Owen signed for United when I was 19, but it’s been a long time since I came to terms with it and I’m not letting it tarnish my memory of what he did with us.

Im not bothered with Owen and he talks positive about us on punditry.

I just felt it needed a goalie and Van Der Sar was impressive in his time.

Oh yeah, Edwin was great in the PL.

The length of the career that Owen had didn’t want to make me vote for him.

He’s a gobshite but that wasn’t the reason I didn’t vote for him. He was only ever truly world class at Liverpool.

I think that’s also a case to be made.

I also think a lot of Owen’s credit and gravitas came from England and the criteria are explicit that performances outside the PL should not be considered for the voting. He is now just outside the all time top 10 in scorers, which is a pretty good case by itself to be included, but there are 3 eligible players ahead of him in that list who are also yet to get in (Cole, Fowler, Dafoe).

Also on that list , a little too soon for the likes of Hazard and Silva to come in but they eventually will make the list as well.

The Yakubu quote is fake, but Dejan’s reaction is not.^^

Put this in RIP Thread, but is appropriate here as well.
Giant of a player. Great career with Forest after finishing with Liverpool

He’s got his managers papers hasn’t he…his he learning from the ā€˜master’ till the end of the season…could he be an outsider​:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Wouldn’t be the worst idea for a new manager to have someone with a connection to the club in his ranks.

Torres would be an odd choice but there does seem a genuine sense that he regrets his move and the way he moved.

As I said at the time I don’t mind that he moved but the shitty way he dumped a transfer request in on the Friday annoyed me.
