WTFiGO!?! Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 I believe he holds the record for yellow cards, too. He's delightfully passive-aggressive. As cynical in the tackle as you like and it's always "Who me ref? Not me, I would never have done anything like that deliberately", with his hands in the air and a perfectly straight face. He makes me laugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave us good balance in a spell where we often just picked the best players and shoe horned them in. Happy to do the dirty work. Had a varied career, position-wise....starting as a LCB in a three for Villa, to then going LM, where he scored a lot goals, but wanted to play CM, high is where he ended up.

Phileas Fogg Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Underrated player much like Carrick who people only tend to appreciate when they’ve retired. Came through in a particularly strong time for English central midfielders which was a bit unlucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premier League records are a farce. You might as well say, who has made the most appearances or scored the most goals since 1996, or 1997 or 1988.

Chairman Mao Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Decent player, worse than Carrick, Hargreaves, Scholes, Gerrard and Lampard but certainly a heck of a lot better than a shitty midfield now when he was in his prime.

Change it to top flight appearances then. I don’t know what the record is but I’m guessing 633 is near the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what the record is but I’m guessing 633 is near the top. Not sure to be honest. Ryan Giggs has 672, so its not too shabby for an outfield player. Shilton had 1,005 which is a record for league appearances, but 'only' 849 were in the top league. If those two represent the real records is not immediately apparent.

I was absolutely fuming at him for that, he may well have never caught up or help prevent the goal but to just stop?! That one moment rightly or wrongly has forever clouded my judgement of him.
