Carragher makes more mistakes, worse on the ball, worse physically etc. Terry was/is just a better defender.

Okey dokey.

Either that, or at least limit your Rooney remarks to at least 1 in every 3 of your posts.
Obsessed much?

Here you go. Mancini and the boys would like you to have this, with their compliments...

This is just going too far! Reading should be censured for this! We have to stamp out this rampant racism in football. How he even agreed to wear a shirt with such a demeaning phrase on it is beyond me. What's next: yellow triangles?

Is that actually his name?

Right. Again.

Had another shocker today, the overrated, arrogant tosser.

The only issue I have with the comment you quoted is that De Gea also makes lots of mistakes and is rightly criticised.

That's what I said.

When De Gea makes a mistake it's highlighted more though. Hart gets away with murder because he's English.

So, I used to follow the SPL Rangers in the mid-late 2000's. It just got harder to follow them when I could never watch their games in America and I moved on. I come back later this year and hear they're been relegated for financial reasons. I'm still unclear about what exactly happened and if someone had some sparknotes for that, that'd be awesome.

But anyway, now that ESPN regularly airs Premier League games and I can much more easily follow a team, I want to follow one of them. I'm pretty much neutral, so if anyone wants to sway me to their side or away from anther side... I'm all ears.
