Obviously Beckham is the kingpin here but others.......surely Raheem Sterling is up there?

Bryan Robson for me.

Raheem Sterling in about 4 out of 5 games definitely but he has the odd good game in him. So frustrating for England as he could be so much more.

Chris Smalling and Gary Cahill, how they both play for England and two of the top clubs in the country is beyond me.

Was just thinking the same after watching that match. Liverpool must be thinking how the hell did we get 50m for him?

At £50mil I agree but he looks like he's going to be the best English defender for a long time.

To say Beckham was over-rated is just stupid !

Beckham wasn't overrated. He is underrated by people thinking he's overrated.

Henderson at Liverpool and England

Beckham was a great player.

Steve Gerrard

Used to get within 40 yards of goal and shoot when others were in a much better position - wasted so many opportunities.

Given a choice between keeping Xavi Alonso and losing Gerrard, they probably would've won more if Alonso stayed.

I have never heard anyone say they rate him!

Brian Little. Played against him several times as a kid. He couldn't play then without using his arms to push you away. John Terry. Worst full back to ever play in the plastic league. Caught out of position every game. Usually involved in an opponent scoring and received raved reviews.

Until he does it in another league that isn't a warmer Scottish Premier League then the jury is out for the diving little fuck.

He's probably never played a single game at full back

John Terry, central defender, whatever? You would never know considering his positioning. Sorry, senior moment and all this talk on here about absence of backs at Pools.

I bet every pools fan wishes we had 11 players with just 1/10th of the talent of all the players listed above.

I do, I wish we had 11 players with 1/10th the talent of Skeddy!

Daft point mind, of course the rest of the players listed above are a lot better than Pools players. It's like saying I bet someone eating a McDonalds wishes they had a Venezia kebab.

What's worse is when commentators refer to Man United as 'United' while obviously forgetting that there are actually 2 uniteds playing in the match

The Cambridge match report referred to United a lot but they didn't mean us.

easy to upset their fans when they talk about united. talk about any other side who have got united in their name. they think they,ve got the monopoly on that word.

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Tue Mar 21, 2017 7:54 pm

Very few "Uniteds" actually have a sensible reason for being called United.
But "Hartlepools United" meant exactly what it said on the tin.

pooliecrab · **Joined:** Tue Dec 16, 2014 9:31 pm **Posts:** 6028

FC United are surely the only club that should be called united?
