Ye Olde Premier League Pub

[Jotun]

I at Bolton eller Stoke blir tent og drar i land ett trofe? Vi får håpe på det Joltus.

Tenkte mest på at reading aldri ville komt gjennom(??) Manchester United.

["""]

Hele lista virker helt mongo. Hvor er Roy Keane? Har alltid hatt inntrykk av at han er LITT hata.

[Ol'H]

Keane er hatet for enkelte av sine idiotiske taklinger, ikke for personen han er. Savage, Diouf, Brown m.fl er jo viden kjent som totale douchbags.

 

Eneste jeg ikke føler trenger være der er Drogba og Ronaldo.

[dysfunctional]

Drogba er jo en rimelig sympatisk kar utenfor banen.

Var jo på lista over verdens mest 100 innflytelsesrike personer, om jeg ikke husker feil.

 

Det han må bli hatet for er vel div filming og episoden med Tom Henning Øvrebø, som jeg kommer på akkurat nå.

Keown må være der et sted. Samme med Dennis Wise.

Football365s liste over top 10 midtbanespillere i Premier League

 

 

10 - Ryan Giggs/Paul Scholes

This is probably our version of the Sports Personality bauble (and presumably Ryan is just as honoured), in that Giggs and Scholes have had far from their best seasons, but writing a list of the ten best midfielders in the country without these two would be just perverse. While they are still there, United can pretend that everything will be okay and they will go on forever, but they will need replacing sooner or later. In fact, forget the 'later'.

 

 

9 - David Silva

It's slightly more tricky to make a statistical case for this little fella (he sits below such attacking and creative geniuses as Frederic Piquionne and Morten Gamst Pedersen in the goals and assists chart) than some of the others on this list, but watching football (for a neutral, at least) is about aesthetics, rather than numbers. And there are few more graceful and naturally gifted players in the Premier League than Silva, whose lightness of touch and ability to completely baffle a full-back is a joy every time you see him. Remember Bryon Butler's famous line about Diego Maradona being 'like a little eel'? You can apply that to Silva. Only without the coke and air rifles.

 

 

8 - Samir Nasri

One could argue that Nasri hasn't been much of a midfielder this season in that he's been one of Arsenal's most attacking players. However, he does perform the role of a creator, rather than a direct goal threat, so he makes this list rather than the 'forwards' selection that will come when we've dusted off all the abuse forthcoming for this one. Eventually. Nasri has taken plenty of the creative burden off Cesc Fabregas this season, and while it might be a while yet before the Frenchman can fill his captain's shoes, his shimmies and shoulder drops have provided many of Ars*nal's finest moments.

 

 

7 - Luka Modric

The story goes that Arsenal were sniffing around Modric like a horny dog while he was at Dinamo Zagreb but didn't sign him because they believed he couldn't cope with the physicality of the Premier League. When even Arsenal reject you for being too much of a wuss, one would imagine you wouldn't stand a chance in Blighty - but Modric has proved that to be manhose of the poppiest variety. The brilliant thing about this quite frankly funny-looking little chap is that he has excelled wherever he has played in the Sp*rs midfield. Drifting from the left, in 'the hole' or in a two-man centre midfield, Modric always seems to find a way to dictate the play.

 

 

6 - Nigel de Jong

Forget the phoney hysteria about his tackle on Hatem Ben Arfa (he got the ball, Ben Arfa was incredibly unlucky), this guy is a colossus. As we all know, there is more to good midfield play than simple passing and tricks - there is the other stuff that tends to only get much attention when things go wrong. De Jong is not exactly a Makelele type (his distribution is better than a simple spoiler), but he does provide both a platform for City to attack and a screen for their defence. We love him at F365, and little short of stubbing a cigar out in someone's eye will change that. Speaking of which...

 

 

5 - Joey Barton

"Joey is not a normal footballer, he is quite eccentric," Pardew said about his midfielder on Monday. "His eccentricity extends to his game too and he does things on a football pitch that are eccentric at times. That's what makes him the player that he is." Chunky makes a fair point - if we are to ignore the immediate thought that 'eccentric' is a funny synonym for 'convicted criminal'. Barton tries things, things that many would not bother with, and that is perhaps why, finally, after most have given up on him as a human being, he is fulfilling his promise and beginning to present a convincing case that he might be worth the trouble after all.

 

 

4 - Gareth Bale

You have to wonder about Harry Redknapp sometimes. 'Gareth Bale will one day become the best left-back in the world,' he wrote only a few weeks ago, while in the same column for The Sun he proclaimed Bale to be the best player in the Premier League this season. Quite why anyone would witness a man destroy some of the finest teams in Europe from the left wing and decide that just isn't his position is unclear, but destroy them Bale has. Redknapp does have a point about Bale's adaptability, mind. The lad looks like he could play absolutely anywhere - he has the range of passing to play in the middle, and the strength and shooting power to make a decent fist of being a striker too. Greatness awaits.

 

 

3 - Steven Gerrard

Interesting player, Steven Gerrard. How will he be viewed in years to come? His international career will be characterised by the interminable Gerrard/Lampard debate, and as part of this mythical 'Golden Generation' he will possibly be seen as a failure. And domestically, will his decision to turn down Chelsea (twice) be seen as a mistake? Will the Champions League medal outweigh the league titles he could've won at Stamford Bridge? Possibly, but barring something extraordinary in the next few years, Gerrard will retire as possibly the most gifted Englishman of his generation to never win the Premier League.

 

Obviously, he remains a terrific performer, not least because through either choice or the necessity of advancing years, he seems to be adopting a mature style of play. He seems more content these days to perform a quietly efficient role, as seen in Liverpool's win over Manchester United when he sat deep and allowed the likes of Raul Meireles and Luis Suarez to create further forward - to essentially do the job of Gerrard 08/09. His claims to be one of the very best this season are undermined by his fitness record (he's missed nearly a third of their league games this campaign), but Liverpool will have a mighty hole to fill when he retires.

 

 

2 - Nani

A young Portuguese winger, brought to Manchester United for a lot of money and initially written off as a talented but flaky show pony before proving he has a little more substance. The comparison with Cristiano Ronaldo is an obvious one, but though nobody is going to pay £80million for Nani at the moment, this season he has been arguably United's most impressive performer, adding goals and assists (nine and 15, respectively, the equal-highest in the league) to the lollipops and flouncing. Without Nani, a pedestrian United would be nowhere near the top of the Premier League this season.

 

 

1 - Cesc Fabregas

He's 23 is Cesc Fabregas. Already he has played in three international championships (winning two of them), reached one Champions League final, won the FA Cup, captained one of the top sides in Europe and, for the last couple of years, been bombarded with suggestions that he will be leaving Arsenal for his home club. It's a lot for even the most experienced and battle-hardened player, but for a man so young it's extraordinary that Fabregas's head hasn't exploded.

 

Quite apart from his fabulous touch and range of passing, Fabregas has developed into a fine captain. Many (usually former Gooners, usually from George Graham's era) complain that Arsenal lack a 'leader', and when they say that they mean a good solid English sort who will shout a lot. Fabregas is hardly a chest-thumping type in the Tony Adams mould, but witness Arsenal's Cesc-less performance in the Carling Cup final for evidence that the still-young Spaniard's influence is a guiding force for Arsenal. The good news for Gooners is that, according to our man in Spain, that move to Barcelona might not be imminent.

 

[Old Game]

Fatter ikke hvordan enkelte journalister for lov til å jobbe med fotball når jeg ser sånt. Selv ikke Smågal hadde klart å lage ei så dårlige liste etter to dager på grøftefylla og med mor mi.

[Jefe]

Kor i hælvete e Adam??!

[Maefteda]

Det er tydeligvis en blanding av hvem som har gjort det bra i år, og hvem som har gjort det bra over tid. Latterlig ordning.

 

Savner Parker seff

[makkaa]

 

Savner Parker seff

hahaahah snakkes

[Xanman]

Hvilket lag holder du med, egentlig? Ser bare at du går fra tråd til tråd og lager kvalm. Hvis du er gooner blir jeg flau.

[makkaa]

Haha, kunne ikke brydd meg mindre hvordan jeg framstår på dette jalla-forumet. Grin du.

[The Doctor]

Ikke greier du å svare på ett så simpelt spørsmål engang.

[makkaa]

Svaret ligger nok i det jeg skrev om du bare våkner litt

[Xanman]

Hvorfor bruker du tiden din til å skrive på det du kaller et "jallaforum"?

[makkaa]

Folk som deg er grunnen til det.

[Maefteda]

Er vel gooner når han stemmer og kommenterer på Februars beste spiller i Arsenals kategori. Sikkert der "grin du" kommer fra også.

 

Sier ikke at Parker er topp 10 garantert, men han kan helt klart kjempe mot spillere som Barton og Adam.

[Xanman]

Folk som deg er grunnen til det.

Folk som meg er grunnen til at du skriver på et jallaforum? Nå kan ikke jeg snakke for andre "folk som meg", men du kan bare slutte for min del. Jeg kommer ikke til å savne deg.

[makkaa]

Hva med å "ignorere bruker"? Vanskeligere er det fakitsk ikke.
