Sounds like a liverpool fan descrbing carragher a season or two ago, who incodentally won the cl

To be fair I don't think Carragher gets the recognition he deserves either!

Who exactly has lately?

Terry is slow.
Carragher is a lovely lad.

Carra deserved to be in the England set up over Rio the last few years, as top 2 defenders in the Prem were Terry and him consistantly.

Woodgate when fit.
Rio should of been banned from football for life, what kind of message does it send don't turn up for a drugs test and get an 8 month ban.
Most other sports, failed drugs tests are a lifetime ban. just football have never seemed to take it seriously.

Lifetime bans are only common in Athletics.

too me it gives the message "why the fuck should i, ive workedmy bollocks off to get here, why would i risk it all to take drugs"
cara is nowhere near rio or terry, constantly makes huge mistakes, not as good a leader as terry, cant play footy as good as rio.

Also, what about the italians who FAILED a drugs test, they were banned for 6 months or less (iirc) That's a joke given the fact that Rio was banned for longer for not turning up to one.
On the topic of this thread... My first thought was that it must have been something racist for Chimbona, Assou-Ekotto and King to go that mental while most of the white players didn't seem to do anything. Obviously i hope it wasn't and it probably wasn't just seemed a weird sending off and that would have justified it.
Rio and Terry for england defence, Carra will always be behind them unfortunately

Are you having a laugh?
Your one of the small minded people who dont give JC the recognition he deserves...Makes huge mistakes constantly? You have just proved how little football you must actually watch....he has been one of the most consistant premiership performers for the last 4-5 years...
I bet you support someone in League 2 dont you...maybe even the Conference...

And to say JC isnt a leader is an absolute joke...everyone on Merseyside sees Jamie as more of a leader than Gerrard...
Not a leader my arse haha

Yes but it always seems to be these type of supporters who make ridiculous comments about the top players...
1. To say JC constantly make mistakes = A JOKE
2. To say he cant play football as good as JT and RF = A JOKE
(Admittadly he is a different type of player...its like trying to compare Robert Ayala with Fernando Hierro...)
3. To say JC is not a leader = A JOKE
That has to be one of the most pathetic comments made on this site...
Seriously though

I wasnt involving myself in the JC remarks. I agree with you on that.
Just the league 1/2 remarks I disagreed with.
