Slightly off topic with the point of this article but a good reply non the less thanks:) . Exposure no doubt helps play a part – maybe a reason why it often takes a move to a ‘big’ club for an already great player to be recognised as such by the powers that be when [...]

Maybe because the worlds current ‘greatest’ play for those clubs? Yes, there are other great players in other teams, but they have some way to go before dislodging Messi & Ronaldo from the top. If this was 2007/8 we would be also talking about Kaka (Milan), Torres & Gerrard (Liverpool),and the Ronaldo of Man Utd. [...]

I agree to an extent. Whilst those past Premier League players were indeed great and would get into most teams, how many were actually considered as ‘the best’ of there time? None won either World Player of the Ballon D’or – there was always somebody better around (eg. Baggio, Zidane, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Figo). Equally with [...]

This article is not about which league is better, merely pointing out that since Ronaldo left the Premiership, along with the decline of former stars, the Prem is currently lacking a true world great. Your comment would be valid for another argument in another thread, thanks.

Watching City/Chelsea THIS season has no bearing on the article. I mentioned the above players as possibilities to be acknowledged as the worlds ‘best’ in the FUTURE, regardless of who they are playing for. At the moment, they are not ‘the best’. If you read the article properly and look at the history and facts, [...]

Exactly. As mentioned, unfortunately the climate does play a big part in a players choice. Great point about the tax laws too.

There was no need for a jury in the court case of Carlos Tevez this week. The verdict, and what his punishment should be, was almost instantaneous by the millions of watching fans, media reporters, writers, ex-players and FIFA/UEFA officials. Sack him! Ban him for life! Let him rot in the reserves! Or just plain old [...] -

When this new Premier League season begun back in August many would have expected few teams to still remain unbeaten going into October’s fixtures. Champions Manchester United? Probably. Massive spending Manchester City? Almost certainly. Aston Villa and Newcastle United after losing various key players? Ye…..hang on a minute! Don’t you mean now perennial title challengers Chelsea?

With 9-mintues to go before full-time he trudged off the Anfield turf, looking forlorn. He couldn’t believe his number – the iconic number-7 – was being held aloft again, calling an early end to his game. A clap of appreciation towards the Kop was accompanied by a mutter as he headed towards his replacement on the [...] -

Talk of Liverpool’s supposed new stadium seems as old as the league itself, with more too’ing and fro’ing than a tug-of-war competition between Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks. Just like The Clash once so eloquently asked, their major question, as ever, remains: Should they stay or should the go? Speaking recently Liverpool supremo and principle owner [...] -
