Premier League Hall of Fame

[Sapient Hawk]

Whiskey nose praising the Invincibles. I know all those Utd fans that try to downplay it are in serious pain right now.

Sir Alec's 13 league titles are unprecedented & will likely never be achieved again.

In equal measure, our Invincible season will also never be replicated. That beautiful Gold plated PL trophy is worth 10 of its silver counterpart!!

I pity anyone who didn't experience at least some of Ferguson v Wenger of the late 90s/early 00s, one of the greatest sporting rivalries ever.

Imagine thinking Pep and Klopp with their annoying mean girl-esque back and fourth is the peak of the Prem, game's gone!

Wenger's quip about everyone thinking they had the prettiest wife at home when Ferguson alleged they played the better football despite us winning the double in 2002 (which infuriated Sir Alex) will stand the test of time

"These are not the thoroughbreds you're looking for" he says as he tries to abscond with his winning horses & pulling the wool over his partner's eyes.

I reckon Mikel passes Fergie sometime in 2040.

And what exactly did Jermaine Defoe do to be included in a HoF?
If games played is important, they may as well include Peter Crouch then.

9th top scorer in PL history. He had a good career.

and 0 Premier League titles to count for.

You can make an argument for Shearer as top scorer, great player in his time and having a single PL title, but Jermaine Defoe !???

Trophies shouldn’t define individual player. Out of the thousands of players who have played in the PL since 1992, only 8 have scored more than Defoe. That’s pretty good.

What an actor he was! Absolute top drawer.

It's why David James is going to be a Hall of Fame lock. Most appearances for a keeper ever still unless I'm mistaken.

People haven't got their head round it yet.

I think he’s most appearances by a GK. Gareth Barry, Giggs, Lampard and Milner have surpassed him.

How many get picked? Lots of strong candidates. Adams, Cole, Andy Cole, Sol, Rio and Terry.

Not sure if they take the old First Division into account, if they do, then Adams should really be a given. Though, he might be sort of forgotten these days, sad as it is.

He’s a weird one, the forgotten great CB maybe, career is divided between the first division and PL, career is also divided between pre and post Sky sports.

Many regard him as the best CB ever in British football. Leader since 17 etc.

 

[GDeep™]

Andy Cole was/is underrated, very slick. 1 in 2 at his peak.

Didn’t get many England minutes due to Shearer.
