mines is .........

diego maradona

then followed by ......

pele

then followed by ........

johan cryuff

Pele
Diego Maradona
Henrik Larsson

Shaun Wright-Phillips
.
Christiano Ronaldo
.
Jermaine Defoe
.
Ronaldinho
.
LoL.. They just my favorite at the moment..

George Best...

or...

Eric Cantona... >:/

pele
maradonna...

best footballer i've witnessed in my lifetime is Thierry Henry..

ya'll not gunna count zidane? he was pretty darn skillfull make no mistake

Ever: Pele

Recent: Henry

Current: Ronaldinho

My Favorite: Adriano

Henry's far too inconsistent to even be considered an all time great. Arsenal legend yes, great player yes, but he doesn't exactly light the international scene alight, and I dont think Ive ever seen a great player who shy's away from crucial games as consistently as Henry.

Top three ever are Maradonna Pele and Georgie Best for me. Players like Zico and Jairzinho could feel unlucky not to get more credit but it goes to Pele more often than not.. Cruyff, Platini and even Zidane are also genuine contenders

Current best player in the World is Ronaldinho without doubt, I firmly believe Rooney has the potential to be one of the Worlds finest, and most likely Englands greatest ever player.

true


henry is shit in big games aswell !!!

George Best...

or...

Eric Cantona... >:/

cosign....

I don't see any justifiable reason why Eric Cantona would ever be considered one of the greatest players ever...

Ah wait, it just hit me.

You're United fans right? Hahaha

They don't call him King Cantona for nowt ya know... >:/

Hahaha, there's a pretty solid basis for calling him a fat French wanker too you know...

Nah he was a great player no question, but he's nowhere near the greatest player ever. He's not even the greatest French player ever.

10 points to whoever can tell me the highest scoring player in any single World Cup (without searching the net, you sad little puppy)

ever?

i would say pele in his days. ronaldo (goofy 1) years ago

cantona was very skilled

but goalkeeper - peter schmicheal was a legend 2 me

he was a celtic legend not a legend in the world game ....

You or i said nuttin abouts legends........one of the best players ever though! :D

Just Fonataine was the highest goal scorer in anysingle World Cup, 10 points just went begging.. Like Arsenals title ambitions haha

Not being biased (well maybe a little), but that's not really true. He's scored countless times against Man United, the biggest game of the league season. Scored last year against Chelsea in the most crucial game of the season. Scored a hat trick against Inter at the San Siro, scored 2 against Roma at the Olympic Stadium, scored a goal starting from his own half against Spurs at Highbury (remember that one Fnom?!) and scores a lot of goals for France. Hardly inconsistent in crucial games is he?

Haha, yea I remember that one. Twat.

Nah, he's incredibly inconsistent when it comes to big games... Remember 2002 World Cup? Remember qualifiers for Euro 2004? Remember qualifiers for 2006 World Cup? I know you remember the countless times when Arsenal have needed results in big games in the Champions League and he just hasn't come up with the goods. Against United, I can't say I remember him scoring many goals against them, that dodgy free kick is the only one that springs to mind. The awful fact that accompanies that, is United have the lions share of wins in Arsenal United encounters over the past five years. He is a great player, even as a Yid I'll hold my hands up and say he's probably the best in the premier league. But it's senseless to deny that he falters in some of the big games, it's like he's just nowhere to be seen.

When United ended your unbeaten run last year, Henry was nowhere to be seen, he looked completely out of his depth. For a player of his stature thats just criminal. Ljungberg is a better performer in your bigger fixtures

^Word..

Freddy adu!! i'm joking i don't know much about soccer, i do know most of the players you mentioned. I always liked ronaldo, but i guess he's not good anymore or old? I'm just happy american soccer has improved even though they're no where near international competition.


Oh, by the way anybody play or read the Reviews on Fifa 06? it's seems like they have improved very much this year and have uped the competition with winning eleven. I can't wait to get it

im not sure united have the 'lions share of wins'...

ones i can remember...

1-0 to Arsenal at highbury - 95/96
1- 0 to United at Old trafford...Cantona scored a screamer...haha
Man Utd 1-0 Arsenal - Own goal winterburn
Arsenal 1-2 Utd - 96/97
Arsenal 3-2 Man utd - Anelka, Vieira and Ljunberg
Man Utd 0 -1 Arsenal - Marc Overmars (lifted the title) 97/98
Arsenal 3 - 0 Utd...charity shield..Stams debut..Anelka scored
Arsenal 1 - 2 Utd - Keane scored..i remember that
Utd 6 -1 Arsenal...shhh ahaha..
Utd 1 - 1 Arsenal (utd won 2-1 in extra time) Giggy's wonder goal
Arsenal 1 - 0 United...Henry scored that turn and volley...wooo!!
Arsenal 3 - 1 United..Henry scored twice
Man utd 0 - 1 Arsenal..sylvain wiltord...won us the title
Arsenal 1 - 1 United..Henry scored a goal that nearly took carrols head off..
Arsenal 3 - 1 Man utd..charity shield..Gilberto scored...
Man Utd 3 - 1 Arsenal
Man utd 2 - 0 Arsenal...ended our run...
Arsenal 2 - 4 Utd...blahh...

and they're the ones i can remember...
Arsenal Scored: 23.... Won 8 drawn 1 Lost 9
Utd Scored: 28 Won 9 drawn 1 lost 8

Hardly the lions share of wins....pretty evenly matched...

fuck..sorry..forgot Utd 0 - 0 Arsenal..when van Donkey Fucker missed that penalty..hahaha..priceless..

1 THE GREATEST DEFENDER EVER OOHHH ARGHH PAUL McGRATH "VILLA LEGEND"

2 RONALDHINO

3 ERIC CANTONA.

yall witnessed the greatest score twice tonight..the first goal...*phew!*

Henry fair made me eat my words there. What a fuckin goal that was, majestic

Yeah it's more evenly matched than I thought, though if you counted any you missed Im pretty sure it'd swing further in Utds favour. You're talkin 10 years of games there n you only listed 18, including a few cup ties.

Spurs V United this Saturday, reckon they'll be out with a point to prove specially spud head Rooney.. We can beat them though, come on lads

Rooney is a beast... United will rip spurs..

^^i dunno man.....united AND i admit...Arsenal have fallen off a little lately...
spurs got a real genuine chance the way they're playing...

In all fairness they probly will beat us but we always give them a run for their money, and this is the best Spurs team Ive seen since 91. We stand a chance against any team we play, even last season there was by no means whatsoever a gulf in class between Chelsea and Spurs. The better team won in the end but this is football, thing that makes it so brilliant is it's unpredictable. Look at Arsenal this weekend, at 3:00pm on Saturday afternoon you would have said there was more chance of Spurs beating United than West Brom beating Arsenal...

george best was the best and most talented footballer ever even tha great man pele thought so, jus imagine if he didnt get pissed up all tha time how gud he wud be, but yeah that lil argy fucka was awesome too and van basten no 1 has sed him so thought i give him his props!

Rooney is a beast... United will rip spurs..

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SIT DOWN CHILD!

Super Jermaine Jenas, from here on in he shalt be known throughout this kingdom as Jermaine Jesus.. What a ferckin free kick that were, they ain't seen one of them at Old Trafford since Beckham left

YIDDO YIDDO YIDDO

Nice free kick, but I still don't rate Jermaine Jenas. He's yet to prove himself. Everyone rates him really highly but I've never seen him put in a man of the match performance for any team.

yeh fuck jenas, he was a load of wank for newcastle, apart from the once in a blue moon performance he would pull off.

^^^He's a decent player, but I agree with Kron that he still has a lot to prove.. He started off slowly for us (and I mean real slow) but the past few games his work ethic has improved and he's looking a lot more confident. Plus he's scored in his last two :) He's only young as well, an he's got a scorchin shot on him

I still don't see how he has a place in the England squad though, Carrick is far superior. Different type of player I suppose but Carrick is class

Utd 6 -1 Arsenal...shhh ahaha..

^ :D.

Best player ever? Maradonna. He killed the game when he was at Barcelona.
Best player at the moment? Ronaldhino, easily.
Best player recently? Zidane or Ronaldo.
