Yep

Ajax is far from automatic win as some made us believe

Ten Hag had Ajax win the league again and great runs in the champions league

He left and Ajax collapsed again

Yeah man, I was probably around 10 to 12 when Kewell was peaking around the turn of the century, and I so desperately wanted to sign him because he was such a talented and exciting player.

Was at the game when Leeds ended our title hopes and he scored a screamer and I remember being fairly in awe of him. I was pretty gutted when he signed for Liverpool.

So lets say Kewell and Cahill are undisputed top two, which Mark gets third place, Viduka or Schwarzer? (Or am I overlooking a different player who comes third?!)

I remember that 2001-2004 era Kewell as well, he was such a fucking menace and in a way was kind of a PL icon as well.

Viduka is another one, surely it has to be Viduka over Schwarzer but maybe that’s bias towards outfielders coming into play.

I’m taking Viduka.

I’ll ask you to indulge me one more time… what’s your top 5 Aussie ballers then?

BTW, in case you’re wondering why I’m even asking, I saw a youtube short about Harry Kewell yesterday, which is what got me pondering.

I’m actually surprised he’s the first. First man I thought of when this popped up was Ibra.
I’ve had a look and he was a top scorer only in Ligue 1 and Serie A.
As well as he did in the MLS, some Josef Martinez guy finished ahead of him.

I can see Haaland being the guy to match this in future.

Pique has got the formula !!! :saluting_face:

I love 11-aside but there’s so much scope for a smaller sided format.

More details in the link. I will be watching with interest

Eto’o is a bit of a power trip cunt isn’t he :pires2:

Apparently Eto’o got all pissy because the new coach was appointed without his consult and approval.

Started to talk to Brys in a really unprofessional manner.

Eto’o telling him he will make all the decisions and that Brys made mistakes despite just having arrived lol

One part I particularly find funny was this:

Eto’o: “I was a manager myself”
Brys: “yeah for three weeks”
Eto’o: “I was a great player”
Brys: “congratulations”

Odds on Micah laughing while on the witness stand?

When it comes to laughing hysterically at his own unfunny jokes, no one is better than Richards.

Ten Hag runs to the witness box before Richards can get there and says: “Garnacho was onside though”.

I saw this post on fb, thankfully every single comment I saw was trashing them for even daring to ask in the first place :grin:

The English are at it again.
