Players you DO just like - not from Utd or ex-Utd players

Who do you secretly quite like/admire?

I quite admire:

Scott Parker - good pro. I like the lad.

Gareth Bale - may be a member of a Simian Sleeper Cell pre Ape-revolution but goddammit - I like the fella. What he does well is exhilarating.

Luka Podolski/Mirolslav Klose - Polish Power with German brains!!!!!!

Joey Barton - much better player than people give him credit for and £#%&! it, he seems like a good lad.

Others?

Hate to say it but David Silva looks a player.

most germans
honda from cska
maldini, cannavaro and other assorted italian old timers


yes i do realise these lot are axis powers but £#%&! it

Brad Friedel. Normally can't stand the Ron Perlman #@&%! for saving all his best performances for United, but when he took the piss out of that nordie vermin @#%&! on MOTD last night he went up hugely in my estimation.

Iker Casillas. Never gets involved in all this 'clasico' £#%&!fest, loves his club without being a @#%&! about it.

Love goalkeepers, me.

Yep he is some player. You have to just hope for homesickness with him.

Claudio Pizzaro, quite an enigma but he has been awesome at Bremen.

Ozil, convinced he was our missing piece last season. Imagine him in this team.

I'm disgusted someone as classy as David Silva plays for City. I hope he does something to make me want to hate him soon.

That poor £#%&!er at Bolton who got his leg badly broken in pre-season, Lee, he's a cracking player, shameful he survives training every day with Kevin Davies, Paul Robinson & assorted other £#%&!ers & gets nobbled in a friendly.

I always liked Duncan Ferguson

Mario Balotelli
Adel Taarabt

Nicolas Anelka - Played for most of the enemies but he's a top player, used to be a top loon and I just like him.
Edin Dzeko - Seems a simple sort and he's a bit of a throwback to proper players. He'll be an ace player for the Nylons.
Bobby Zamora - He's often a bit shit really but he tries and I like his name.
Shay Given - Always been a great keeper and he seems a decent chap.
Jack Wilshere - Thicker than Becks but he'll be a better player.

Darren Gough - until he spoiled it all by going on that dance shit.

Marouane Fellaini.

Not a great player, but what a head of hair.

I always liked Graeme Souness as a player, he was a right hard player but also a quality footballer. Shame he played for those @#%&!s.

Todays players;

Wilshire, Silva, Defoe, Kevin Davies....

That ben arfa looked really good until someone broke his leg

Doyle, Kilbane, Duff, St. Ledger, all quality players who have for some reason taken my fancy.

No but seriously, iniesta, iniesta, iniesta, as much as I loath barchalona he is a joy to watch. Easily favourite player in the world outside of united.

They're all £#%&!ers.

Some good calls here.

Agree re Maldini, Cannavaro etc. Who doesn't secretly have a man-crush on some of these ueber Italian defenders?

Agree also re Silva - would have loved him in our team and so far displaying not that much #@&%!bishness.

Also have a lot of time for Darren Bent. Can't blame him changing clubs and he gets his head down and scores wherever he is.

Was watching Juve yesterday, still a wonderful player. The Italian Ryan Giggs.

Not many still going now from the inception of the CL and the wondrous 90's...

Ryan Giggs

Raul
Super Pippo (is he still going?)
Clarence Seedorf

Love them all..
