Bonucci and Buffon up to 95. Respect to SM. But Bonucci should be 96. Who was the the last CB to get a 96 in SM? From memory it was Vidic - was he really the best defender in the world in the last 10 years?

Discuss.

Torres used to tear him apart everytime liverpool played United!

Vidic was ok, but he was slow.

The ball gets crossed in and it was either a header or a toebog away.

quite night

Solanke listed on SM as being a Liverpool player. SM jumping the gun? Shirley Knott!

I'll take Spurs please and thanks!

Hercule Poirot

There was a carnivale atmosphere in the Ataturk Stadium last night as the plucky underdogs Everton overcame the footballing powerhouse of Bayern Munich. M. Poirot, who is fast earning himself a reputation as a tactical genius, looked resplendent in a fairly rertro outfit of dark slacks topped off with a simple white polo shirt and matching blazer; his hair slicked to one side like a 50's heart throb. He approached the podium clearly full of joy, quietly singing "24 Hours to Tulsa" to himself, after bathing in the standing ovation from the media present he gave the following statement:

"Seydou Keita, Seydou f*****g Keita - that is all!"

He then motioned to leave, causing uproar from all present, my self included; the thought of this maestro not sharing his greatest moment with us was becoming too much to bear. Thankfully he stayed and expanded further:

"Some say David vs Goliath, some say Jason vs the Argonauts, some say Freddie vs Jason, some say Batman vs Superman......where was I again? Ah yes, let me put it like this - Bayern have players who have probably never played for them, and probably never will, and those same players would walk into my first team. This achievement is by far the greatest seen in this GW, to stick with my reserve team despite the temptation to go with the main squad? To quietly, and without fuss, chip off bigger teams and end in glorious, glorious victory? To give Dani Ceballos his debut and be repaid with an assist? There's no such thing as bad success but this is by far the most important, the most valuable of any seen in this GW before....and I defy anyone, including those based in the north-east of England or those based in Germany's second city to say otherwise. Seydou Keita."

He then walked away, quietly singing "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" - he then rushed back to the podium and announced:

"On behalf of Everton Football Club we'd like to dedicate this victory to the memory of Gene Pitney; I know he's been dead for a while but we haven't won anything since then...."

Well I didn't answer because I've never owned a GW and therefore have no idea what you would do. It isn't about not wanting to support you, it's feeling helpless that we can't help you...and so we say nothing for fear that we make things worse. And yet you use our silence as a weapon against us, not stopping for even a single moment to consider our feelings. So, thank you Baz, thank you very much!

Cheers! I'm actually delighted. We've spent so long trying to get the f*** out of this godforsaken hole of a division that I'm so glad that, when we've finally managed to achieve it, we've done it as champions.

Hopefully we can stay out of it now!! :pac:

At least we'll both be in Division 2 next season anyway as well!
