Spite not including the Lion as he never scores when i back him to score anytime.

[ ] See you tomoro m8

Obv people debate these sort of things but...

Ronaldo(brazilian) WTF ??? Was never anywhere near as good after his injuries which was pre 2002 so can't see how he ever makes a team of the decade

Broke the record for wc goals in 2006 also played in 2002 wc and for Real. Cant leave Zidane and Ronaldo who are the 2 best players of their generation out.

Won 1 major trophy when he was there playing with the best players in the world all around him obviously he's not solely to blame but he wasn't very good consistent at real imo,world cups are 4 weeks long so aren't the best judge for player of the decade imo, Klose was top scorer at the last one i think and wasn't top 10 of the players that where there.All about opinions obv though so fair enough,he doesn't come close to henry to name just one of a few though, imo.

Twats of the decade?                                                                                                          

                            Ian Walker

      Savage                        Mascherano

                Fowler Drogba

Manager: Steve McClaren

fowler was alright and ian walker was good in the 90's

WTF people choosing Henry, he went to Barca and got found out!

where as Larsson went to Barca and the world seen how world class he actually was

Quote from Henry after barca beat Arse in CL final:

"you always hear people talk about Messi, Ronaldinho and Eto'o, but i only saw one player out on the pitch tonight, and his name was Henrik Larsson!"

Larsson before anyone, besides Messi Obv!

he had bad back problemswhen he went there

I was struggling to think of anyone. Thought it was a good idea till I got halfway through the team.....

Why the hell did you quote me before i actually though about what i said and edited it to include the greatest player ive ever seen in the flesh!!!

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL @ larsson/ henry comparrisons!!

he said he played good in one game, and?

If henry is chelsea larsson would be wigan and thats generous!

Is that why Fergie says he only ever tries to sign a player once and if they knock him back, he never goes for them again. He then said he has only ever broken this rule once, and that was for Henrik Larsson who he tried to sign 3 times during his career, he did this cos he thought Henrik was just as good as Cantona!

More over, Eto'o has played along side some of the best players in the world, yet said the best player he has ever played with is Henrik Larsson.

Furthermore, Sutton was a member of the SAS with Shearer, yet claims the best strike partner he has ever had is Henrik Larsson by a countyr mile.



These are opinion's of top class footballers/managers who know far more about the game than you or I.

Therefore: Larsson>>>>>>>>>>>Henry!

dave is just having a laugh

what did he do for barca or united?

fyp

lol single handedly won them the CL in 20mins, more than what Ronaldinho and Eto'o did in the first 70 mins of the game.

Isn't Boyd better than Larsson?

LOOL at comparing Henry to Larsson.

Henry did it in the best league in his prime, now has moved to Barca towards end of his careers hes obv not gna be as good.

Larsson did it in the Scottish league, then moved to Barca and for small while at Scum. He hardly sent shockwaves through the footballing world at either.



Anyway
 
My team for last decade


                        Buffon

Cafu     Cannavaro     Nesta        Roberto Carlos


                        Makelele
 

                   Zidane     Kaka


           Messi  C.Ronaldo  Ronaldinho


Bench: Casillas, Maldini, Radebe, Gerrard, Henry, Xavi, Shevchenko




Also, WTF Ty! Ronaldo, surely his best years were defo in mid-late 90's and he'd defo be in my team for that era.

What about best PREMIERSHIP team of the decade?

Teams plz.

Robinson
Mills
Woodgate
Ferdinand
Harte
Bowyer
Dacourt
Bakke
Kewell
Viduka
Bridges

lol, nh.

EPL isn't best league in world, not even 2nd, its third.

and id have larsson in my team any day before Henry.




Boyd....Pfffffft!

lol, whts better than the EPL!?

Don't be ridiculous Dave. We have another Tranny 2 moment on our hands here

no we don't  we have an opinion that larsson was better than henry, and after watching both for years, i beleive im correct, although you can't have a wrong opinion i don't think

can you?

Spain, Italy, England

infact its more like:

Spain>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Italy>>>>England!

Dont rate Gary Kelly then?

lol seriously dave sort it out, is it too much a stretch of the imagination to suggest you may be a tad bias?

Lol at italy being stronger than england,yeah dave you can have any opinion you want but why have such a biased one ?

PS Fergie tried to sign Shearer twice

PPS Henry>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Larsson

Even you are allowed an opinion!  ;D

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/markkermode/2009/06/transformers_190609.html

LOL

Eng>>>>>>>>>>>>Spain>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Italy.

some might say that, thats up to them, I used to love watching arsenal play football, and seen loads of henry, but i also seen every bif of larsson, not just the goals but the movment off the ball, his awareness, his attitude. everything about larsson oozed class, he was a team player. Henry was a glory hunter backed up by everyone of his celebrations.

Look at how well arsenal's kids and other players shown when he left, henry over shadowed, larsson help blossom others!

Henke is just a footballing wet dream.

how can this be classed as bias? when im not from Spain or Italy?

I couldn't care which one is better, TBH i wish the EPL was better as there are more EPL games shown that Italy or Spain on TV, but for me they ain't better.

Can you put the SPL on your scale Dave so we can tell what level Larsson scored his goals at please?

why does his celebrations mean he was a glory hunter? becase he didnt used to run half the lengh of the field and take his top off he didnt give a shit? i liked that about him plus it got him the va va voom commercial.

Arsenal sure have done better since henry left lol!

erm because not only are you not english you're scottish?

Dave you are com mate,can someone find henry's goals/assists stats please pretty sure he got record for the most assists at least one season,also he has a nearly 1 in 2 goals ratio at barca which ain't too bad is it,larssons was just above 1 in 4,however that is based on appearances not starts

The bias comment was in relation to the fact your Scottish and most Scots have a bee in there bonnet about anything English but maybe your the 1/1000 who isn't like that so i may've jumped to the wrong conclusion,apologies if so but can you suggest anything that backs up the fact the Italian league is stronger than the English ?

SPL is bollox, which is why we only get 1.5 points for a goal up here whereas EPL Spain etc get 2 points for a goal, yet larsson still managed to scoop the European golden boot from Shevchenko(sp) one year for an astonishing 53 goals in one season!

As i say, Wet Dream!

and this makes me want spain and italy to be better than the EPL?

I'm lost here?

I just find the the italian league better to watch that the EPL, If i really think about it tho, id say EPL and Italy or actually Tied 2nd......but both are still miles behind La Liga.

I don't hate English at all mate, i actually hate loads of things about Scotland to be concerned with england

1.5 points compared to 2 points?? Is that sufficient for how "bollox" the league is?
Either Boyd is world class and better than Larsson or the SPL is pretty easy to score in with so many weak teams to play and actually scoring goals there isn't a great achievment. Would Boyd not be in your team of the decade?

Italian football is in the worst state its been for a long time the teams are much weaker than both the spanish and english teams as proven by how they've done in the last 5 year in the cl.Attendances are much worse the list is endless,but as you say your entitled to your own opinion... but it's wrong :)

Shearer blatantly would've scored minimum 80 goals if he played a full season in the SPL, FACT

And if i had to say i'd probably say henry>shearer on allround game,shearer is the better striker though

lol @ Boyd

lol no way 80, probably 30-40 tho.

all round game, Larsson wins hands down, as previously shown when Sutton said larsson was better than shearer.

Opinion's are like Arseholes, everyone has one!

but if Larsson is in the all decade team, surely Boyd gets in over him? After all his goalscoring record is superior to Larsson's?

Boyd better than Henry IMO.

as stated previously, if you were paying attention, its not about just goals.

he didn't score in the CL final for barca, yet he won it for them

lol @ Boyd.....just lol!

I was paying attention

Furthermore Larsson's goals and assists were at a time when Rangers were competitively way behind a Celtic side winning the title year after year.

As such the merit I apply to Larrson's play is lower than that I apply to Boyd, scoring goals in a weaker Rangers side than Larrson's Celtic was, compared to the opposition he is playing against

Kris Boyd also does innumerable amounts of charity work, particularly for abandoned kittens in the Dumbarton area. That too gives him a cachet with me that Larrson simply cannot match.

I hear he makes Sock Puppets for African kids too.

Shearer could still get 50 if he played in that league now

even at his age?!

lol now he's better than shearer as well!!! pure com dave.

is he in the all time top ten and who would that be, i'd like to see your all time top ten if larsson is better than shearer and henry but doesnt get in?

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov5bm7Lhl1o

Boyd has played 97 more games to break the record. He can't score against Celtic and our defence is so bad Chubby Brown would run rings round them.

Very few Celtic fans would swap Henry and Larsson. Watching the Celtic front line since Larssons departure is painful given how hard he worked and how he made lazy gits like Hartson put in a shift.

EPL is way better at the top than Italy but has fallen behind Spain.

Sandy

Scottish Davvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeee.

You have to admire the mans winding up skills, Serie A being better than the Premiership is a SD classic.

What a joke dave, do you do this kind of thing to wind people up?

You can't be serious!?

Used to have that video on my phone, i watched it every day when i woke up and was on my way to work, it set me up for the day.

His celtic tale is defo one ill be telling my grandchildren too, ill tell them i was around to see Henrik Larsson play football.

Mine would be:                                                                                                             

                            Buffon

Cafu           Cannavaro  Maldini      Roberto Carlos

                          Makelele

       Gerrard                        Zidane

Messi                                          Ronaldinho

                     Ronaldo (Brazilian)

I like it. Id probably change my back 4 to match yours.

He took a few months to settle and has been excellent since. Not exactly found out?

Henry > Larsson quite easily.

This season I would say Spain.

EPL has been strongest for the last 4 though.

Depends how you measure strength of league, in Spain there is very much the big 2 as opposed to the big 4. So in that respect you could you argue for England, yet I am pretty sure that Spanish teams have a lot better record in the UEFA cup (now Europa League) in the last decade, suggesting a better overall top half.

I think it is close and would just side with Spain, but they are clearly the best 2 leagues and only some as mad as Scottish Dave could argue otherwise.

I'm bored so...

How does Ronaldo ever make a team of the decade ahead of Henry since the only year he's ever scored more is 2009 when he was playing in brazil

Well prior to this season the top 4 in the EPL were ahead of every team in Europe bar Barca, and maybe Milan a year or two back. Now they're right back in the pack imo - this season is the weakest top 4 in the EPL since the pre Abramovich era. The mid to lower league has always been better in Spain.

Before his injury he had the potential to be the very best ever in his position. Even Torres would be lucky to have one close to how good he could have been. But on the evidence I guess you are right.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy ftw.

I agree he was the best in the world but that was the late nineties the 0 in 2000 was when he done his ligaments for the 2nd time,he was one of my favourite players when he was at his best he was soooooooooo good on iss pro but he never recovered of his injuries,would feel sorry for him if it wasn't for the fact he's maybe millions since anyway

viera
figo

ronaldo(portugal)
Messi
ronaldo(brazilian)

I would personally have ronaldo up front ahead of henry simply because he was the best striker of his generation and he played through the last decade albeit injured through some of it. FWIW Shevchenko would be ahead of Henry for me.

Edit: Ronaldo has won world player of the year in the last decade, Henry hasnt.

That was one of the Saddest nights of my life, i cried hard that night!

But that video actually backs my point up, as Larsson got that leg break while tracking back to help out his team!

Mine would be:                                                                                                             

                            Buffon

Who would be contenders for rb and lm for just the prem struggled with those 2 pos

LM, giggs?

Yeah gotta be in there,just rb needed for mine

Quite funny to see Gerrard included by quite a few at the expense of any number of more supremely gifted players

Yeah, tough 1. I couldn't bare to pick Gary Neville. Go for Stephen Carr, hes always done a great job wherever hes been.

Does the Rb have to be right footed?

I'll put forward Markus Babbel for a larf anyway, other than that I'd just play Evra or someone out there , deffo not Neville!

Lol at stephen carr he was terrible up here surely gary neville isn't the best rb of the last 10years in the prem

Steve Finnan?

Very good at Fulham before doing v well at Liverpool.

Who else has been there a decent time?
Luke Young is average
Hibbert is well below average
Chimbonda had one good year at Wigan
Gary Neville is a must

So basically there's never been an excellant rb in the epl for the last 10 years

Apart from Neville, G obviously.

Neville has never been anything other than a good rb

arguing the semantics is such a waste of effort

Up to the injury in 07 he would have been first choice rb in every PL team - and for England.

Neville's been best right back in Premier league for last decade and im a Liverpool fan.

It would seem he probably has but there's no way he's ever been world class just means there has never been a world class right back in the prem for the last decade which is strange

Yeah id probably go along with that.

me too

Shoot me - but I agree. He's also been outstanding for England vs some truly world class wide men. I hate the guy but to say he's not been class is daft imo.

Prem team

                                                 Cech
   
                                 Terry    Ferdinand   Cole
           
                                              Vieira
                        Ronaldo                                  Giggs

                                  Gerrard          Scholes

                                   Shearer          Henry

Cech? You jest?

You're a Newcastle fan who saw Given for years and you pick someone who's been pretty shaky since his head injury?

Shay is the best shot stopper but he doesn't command his box well enough and his kicking can be awful,cech is the better keeper imo

Prem:

                       Given

Neville     Campbell    Terry        Cole

Ronaldo   Keane      Gerrard      Giggs

             Shearer      Henry

Cech had two flawless seasons and has been pretty forgettable since. Subject to more and more howlers these days. If not given then Friedel/Van Der Sar imo.

I think most of Chelsea's defensive problems have been more that Terry is a massive miss when out than just Cech's fault,he's currently out of form but as they say form is temporary class is permanent  ;)

Tbh I think the stats back up your argument as their rate of conceeding goals is still v v good. But I think it's more the mistakes that seem to have come out of nowhere and are more regular this last season or two.
