Does anyone remember when Ajax were not a pub team?

Certainly a good week for the English coefficient so far.

Yep, a couple on here. As well as others on other media.
I did and Chris Jameson, a poster on here, put me in my place saying that he was going to be a top goal scorer. However I still think he is a FTB and has never scored an important goal against top class opposition either for his clubs or England.

Over the 2 nights of the CL the Premier league teams have scored 19 goals, Spurs' contribution zero!

If only Spurs were a top 5 team.

They were quite good in the mid nineties.

Guilty. I definitely remember thinking he’s ’not quick, no skill, looks a bit of a lump’ when he was coming through. He’d also been mostly average on loan at places like Orient and Norwich.

I didn’t ever think he was a one season wonder but I did think he’d passed his best during the Euros. He looks better than ever now.

Do remember saying that Steven Gerrard was just a thug that would never make it.

I told a bunch of people that I'd play Gerrard at Right Back for England because it would have been the best way to play him and Lampard in the same team.

Not sure if that counts but a few of my mates still give me shit about it.

You were right. An old LFC mate of mine, whilst laughing, said I probably had a point.
