Yep, that's a bit of a shock.

I guess City and Newcastle are quite similar. Neither have won a trophy in a long time, both have the most loyalist supporters in the world TM and both are owned by people who don't know the club. Mike Ashley is a spurs fan from Hertfordshire. Another thing, just as things seem to be going well for them both, there's a spanner in the works.

Kevin Keegan had the respect of Joey Barton as well. Good luck finding another manager who can control him.

Ferdinand is miles ahead of Terry and Carragher in positioning and pure skill. Terry and Carrgaher are commended because of their braveness and recovery skills. If they were that good, they wouldn't need to recover so much.

Terry and Carragher aren't in the top 3 defenders in the league. Well, Terry might be.

That's my top 5.

Ferdinand
Carvalho
Vidic
Senderos

6.Bramble

 

[Will_NA]

He's too good to feature on that list. He deserves an honorary mention. In fact, if a defender wins PFA player of the year, he'll have 'done a Bramble'

Will! Been trying to put that into words for months, but not properly been able to. At least someone agrees with me. The problem is that Terry's type of defending is visible much more than the classy work Rio does. Woodgate is a better defender than Terry

1. Ferdinand
2. Carvalho
3. Vidic

Then the likes of Woodgate, Terry, Gallas, Carragher.

What about Senderos, Bramble and Cacapa?

 

[PhilD123]

They're only in there if Frank Sinclair is injured. What a defence that would be.

Senderos Bramble Sinclair Cacapa.

Who cares that Senderos and Cacapa aren't full backs? They are that good they could play anywhere.

 

[Will_NA]

Senderos was playing RB when he was supposed to be marking Torres but he's that good that if you tell him you play left back, he'll play as a right winger.

 

[PhilD123]

He can do both. There's no end to his god-like talents.

Sounds like you can thank your Chairman/owner whatever for that. Keegan had obviously had enough of the tight git.
