You don't get head hunted by Real Madrid (a number of years as well), Roma, Bayern Munich...if you ain't got technical ability. Best English player in the last 20 years, with considerable ease.

Gazza may have something to say about that. He may have had his demons but he was a special player himself.

Don't bother, Enrique is the best LB in the world and Reina is the best keeper in the premiership

The second is correct.

The first isn't. That is Jack Robinson.

So without winter football, you would hibernate? scratch

This would never actually happen but a non league team in theory could have a 24 game run to win both the FA Trophy and the FA Cup. Although some teams do make a decent run through the qualifying rounds and if they have a few replays that could still have an easy 10 cup games if they are unlucky by needing replays.

Some actual examples Salisbury City played 11 cup game this season, Wrexham played 6 cup games and has at least onr game to go. So these teams are closer to having a 60 game season so you cannot stop for a winter break with stuff like this going on.

Gascoigne. Neutral

Could be the most over-rated player of all time.

The only thing continental about Steven Gerrard is his diving.

Gerrard is too moody and self centered for my liking. Hyypia was a much better servant to the football club than Gerrard, in my opinion.

That is off topic, though.
