No.
If players like Ba (wat) and Zabaleta (waaaaaat) then Sandro needs to be on there as well.

Zabaleta's great but he isn't world class (as loose a term as that fucking is)

Aye, but there's not a single team Kevin Nolan wouldn't improve.

Happy Birthday to the greatest player of all time

I suppose you could argue that the things players like Zabaleta and Carrick bring to a team are more important than individual quality, so it's important to make that distinction.

That isn't even difficult to pull off.

How we supposed to take this shit seriously ?
Below Neymar's usual standard.

My definition of world class/approaching world class is odd, and has different capacities for each position. For instance, there aren't all that many great right backs, but there are dozens of great CMs/strikers. Personally, I consider that and think its too simplistic to just say 'top 25 players in the world' or 'top 4 in each position'
In terms of right backs, you've got Lahm and Alves as the shoe-ins, and even Alves has a question mark because of his non-existent defending. Then there's the guys below, who I'd consider to be Ramos, Zabaleta, Johnson, Srna (?), perhaps Rafael.

Cole and Baines as well! Don't think you'll find much better in their position around the world.
Piszczek would be very close to top tier as well if you asked me.

Lahm and Dani Alves are IMO significantly better than the other players listed there. Ramos has been good at CB, not seen him at RB for a while.
World class is thrown about far too easily I think. All comes down to opinion I guess but I think to earn that world class tag you have to have been a top top player in your position for at least 2 seasons.

Is Phoebe Buffay the worst sitcom character of all time?
It's a tough one though because at the top clubs in the PL you have Hart, DDG, Cech, Lloris, Sczezsny and Reina; two of which are arguably world class, two who might be and two who aren't/won't be. And yet none of them have been better than Stoke and Sunderland's keepers this year, probably QPR's as well.
Who themselves don't approach the level of world class of someone like Buffon, Casillas, Neuer, probably even Handanovic. Casillas has had a bad season by his standards but I'd be far more comfortable calling him world class over Begovic. Maybe it's a big club media thing.

Nonsense unless Barca put 25m Euros on top
The self-reference in the Anger Management adverts is cringeworthy beyond belief. It looks dismal as well

Today is also Cesare Maldini's birthday (he's 81). He won basically everything with Milan, and gave the world one of the greatest defenders of all time, Paolo Maldini.
--
Antonini's agent: "I don't know if Antonini will stay at Milan. The transfer window is still open in some leagues" - he's talking about Spartak Moscow. It's fine, we won't cry, just leave.
Also, it seems that Manchester City is after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, a former striker of ours, 23 years old, who plays at Saint Etienne. Really? He never, ever, showed anything promising, not even slightly.

if valdes ever went to Bayern, I'd go to Munich only to commit suicide there.

Don't worry. Bayern would never get rid of Neuer, Hoeneß wouldnt allow it. It's his last big 'prestige' transfer.
This is true, but seeing as Cunte is obsessed with 3 man defences, Licht is now the world's greatest right winger
The_Hitcher89

It just doesn't make any sense
1 - Neuer is approximately 37 times better than Valdes
2 - Why lose a player worth 25m+ for a player who is running his contract down? It'd be like Juve swapping Vidal for Llorente
3 - Not even Guardiola will be given that much power, surely. After the Ibra mishap, there'll be restraints
4 - Valdes is bona fide shit, not just worse than Neuer
5 - Fuck Bayern
@ Crazy Ol' Jeff, at least Elliott is fit though (depending what episode you're watching)
He was in that awful Guardian list.
what about gomez? think he'll leave in case Lewa signs?

The one with the 100 most promising players in the world?
7. Neuer is the leader of Bayern's defense.
8. Third Captain
9. Germany's #1
10. Beloved by the club, team and 99.9% of the fans.
11. Most important: He doesnt want to leave Bayern / Germany.
12. Foreign GKs dont really stand a chance at Barca, just look at Enke back in the day.
If by worst you mean best.

I'm guessing its just assumed that number 6 is 'Valdes is a shit cunt who'd be playing for Espanyol if he didn't come through La Masia'?
I thought a large number of your fans were yet to take to him?
Fuck off Wes. If you actually believe that, you're sub-Fry
He was insanely good in Fifa 12 so he must've done something right. Ran away from every defender in PL!
Serious talk: speed is what City needs atm.
Something like that.
Meh sitcoms.
I chiefly remember indecisively lusting after the Coupling women
That's a tough one.. I'd say they would let him go if he wanted to leave. But I can't get my head behind the Lewa rumours. Lewandowski / Mandzukic and Gomez just looks overkill. Everyone of them could lead a strike force and Müller would be a great false 9 in Pep's system too. Bayern signing Lewandowski would surprise me more than a move for Götze, the only logical reason for such a move would be that Pep specifically requested him.

^^ yep that's #6.
Well our ultra fans hated him and were very vocal against his signing. They still dont like him that much but he gained their respect for his CL heroics last season (especially having the balls to take a penalty). They are a very small part of our fanbase (1000-2000).
False. Nothing from Friends is bad.
The worst character would be Ted Mosby. Fucking annoying. Barney, Lilly and MArshall are too fucking good tho.

Anyone in the UK wanna buy Sleeping Dogs (PS3) new and sealed? Would rather avoiud ebay if possible
@Lego, and that's before the CL knockout stages, and without any decent internationals

Rafa has to be on his game. Want Young to be fit for the game. He offers more in attack than Valencia but less definsively. Nani would be good if we are going there to attack.
The wait is killing me. We have to stomp Everton as some kind of appetiser.
McLeish only in charge for 40 days :O

Alan Harper is probably the worst character in terms of development. They turned him from a pathetic man who you feel sorry for as life fucks him over time and again, into a snide little weasel
WTF is that shit

The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me Suso
Alan was a funny loser at the beginning, but they took it too far. It never changes. It just isn't funny to see him fail anymore.
Hitcher thinks Mrs. Brown's Boys is better than Father Ted.
He is not to be listened to.

Have they done enough wrong to be added onto the long list of people who were wrongly deemed 'fit and proper owners'? Then again, I'm talking about an organisation where people convicted of money-laundering through their football clubs are allowed to carry on in management
going on that he has no taste, I love Mrs Brown's boys, but Brendan o 'Carroll is no Dermot Morgan. Father Ted is amazing and better than everything
egfjwegjp9wgpqgm=-kgwgo9gnwgm0gg
The only taste than anyone who likes Mrs Brown's Boys has is the SHIT in their EYES
