STAN BLOODY COLLYMORE~!!

 

[daicos4ever]

At Newcastle: Shearer (duh), Robert and Woodgate (but unlike kingclive I'm not going to blindly defend his faults).

Everywhere else:
Thierry Henry
Alessandro Del Piero
Rafael van der Vaart
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
Ryan Giggs
Zinedine Zidane
Michael Ballack
Patrick Kluivert
Chris Sutton
Antti Niemi
Paul Trimboli

Players I believe are absolute prats:
Craig Bellamy (p*ss off please)
Roy Keane
Paolo Di Canio
Mark Viduka
Any Inter player in the Inter-Newcastle CL match last season
Sylvain Distin
Andrew Cole
Ashley Cole

And Keiron Dyer is getting up there too.

Managers I like:
Sir Bobby Robson
Sir Alex Ferguson (yes, I have the upmost respect for him)
Kevin Keegan
Gordon Strachan (what a laugh this bloke is)
Claudio Ranieri (hope he keeps the job)
Peter Reid (Sunderland one year, Leeds the next. Cheers monkey head!)

Dislike:
Arsene Wenger (whinging, arrogant ponce. You didn't see the incident? Did you f*ck.)
Glenn Hoddle (mercenary)
Ruud Gullit (thanks for all the memories, chump)
David O'Leary (hopefully he gets relegated along with Villa)

 

[SkARkS_69]

In England its:
(not in order)

1: Teddy Sherringham
2: Thierry Henry
3: Alan Smith
4: Steve McManaman
5: Denis Bergkamp

 

[tribey]

Especially like:

At Newcastle:

Alan Shearer
Jonathon Woodgate
Aaron Hughes
Michael Chopra
Lomana-Tresor Lua Lua

Socceroos:

Vince Grella
Harry Kewell
Mark Bosnich
Marco Bresciano
Mark Viduka

Other:

Lee Clark
Steve Watson
William Gallas
Claus Jensen
Michael Ballack
Patrick Vieira

Dislike - with reasons:

Roy Keane - Just a complete moron. I have a theory about Keano. He's got this reputation as a big bad psycho, but how hard is it to dive into opponents' knees when they least expect it? When he's had to go toe to toe with someone he's looked like a pussy or backed down completely - examples, the airslap at Shearer the other year or the feuds with McCarthy and McAteer.

Robert Pires - I used to love him way back to when he was at Metz, now I just think he's an arrogant, lying, cheating, diving tosser.

Marco Materazzi - My face my face! A strapping 6'3" centrehalf goes down like a sack of crap when faced with minimal contact from a Welsh midget. Materazzi gets a kiss and a wnak in the showers from the ref after the match, Bellers gets a red card waved in his face.

Fabio Cannavaro - Shirt pulling, elbows, tripping. This crook fouled Super Al no less than six times (the ones the ref saw) after being given an earlier yellow and still stayed on the pitch. The Italians call that "good defending"... I call it cheating.

And every other Inter cheat who visited SJP last season. Thanks for reminding me D4E

Robbie Savage - Nuff said.

"Big club" Didi Hamann - "I joined Liverpool to play in Europe". Marvellous effort that you mercenary. Look at you now.

Ruud Gullit & Kenny Dalglish - Both of them almost ruined us with their managerial "skills" and transfer dealings. Gullit's treatment of Rob Lee was appalling.

All time favourites:

Hristo Stoichkov, Paul Gascoigne and Matt Le Tissier. Absolute magicians.

 

[apollo_creed]

Add to my list
Jens Lehmann - GERMANY
David Trezegeut- FRANCE
Lillian Thuram - FRANCE
Jay Jay Okocha- NIGERIA
Youri Djorkaeff - FRANCE
Nicholas Anelka- FRANCE
Mark Van Bommel - HOLLAND
Damian Duff - IRELAND

In case you can't tell I kind of like French players

Players & Managers I Dislike
Mihalovic - The racist guy who spat in Mutu's ear, he definitely tops the list
Roberto Carlos - Don't know why I just dislike him
Figo - Don't care too much for him either
Sam Allerdyce - Apart from having the biggest head in the known universe, the guy never shuts his trap.

If I think of any more I'll add them.
