Vieira was a better player and pick than Keane of course, but I would say Keane had a better overall PL career.

Anyway, the reason I said my CM pairing was best is because of how superior Carrick is to Hamann. Although he was a fucking great pick at the time of choosing.

DaG used to slag Keane off so much and say Vieira was miles better, now an argument can be made either way. #popsboughtmetapesforxmas

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

Greatest ownage machine: Scholes. Absolute animal when he was a regular poster, I always knew I was in the right when he was backing me up, and I couldn't wait to read a topic that he was posting in because I knew he'd be tearing someone apart

It's as irrelevant a point as you made. PFA Team of the Season inclusions mean absolute fuck all for the most part. Scott Parker has won Footballer of the Year FFS.
Your shit post is flawed because Mata has played in the PL for no more than 18 months, my post regarding Keane and Vieira has substance because both players played in the league for a long period, largely during the same era, in teams that were both fighting for titles and were massive rivals at the time. PFA POTY certainly isn't the definitive way to judge a player's credentials, but it certainly adds credence to my claims that Keane had fewer top seasons than most would imagine, and takes away a lot of the credibility of your claims that Keane's longevity was an outstanding factor in the battle between the two.

Only really became a vital player around 1998
How did you come up with that guess work? Paul Ince left United in 1995 and SAF is on record saying he felt Keane carried the previous season or maybe more, leading to the sale of Ince.

So with Keane and Vieira you decide to include whose had a better PL career, but when Carrick and Hamann are involved you'd rather ignore the fact that Carrick was laughing stock until the last 12-18 months. Now, he's a top player yes, over the last year or so he's certainly proved that, but during Carrick's PL career he's been nothing short of average.

Don't see how you can call him average. Sure he hasn't lived up to his potential but he offers so much more than the vast majority of CMs do. An absolutely frustration but a class and hugely under-rated cog in United's team.

Oh fucking dear. Complete joke that ffs. Carrick has always at least been a quality footballer.

I didn't feel the need to say that Carrick has had a better PL career than Hamann because it's obvious.

He was the laughing stock of LF until 18 months ago when Scholes started to rate him and others followed.

Because the opinions on LF determine the quality of a football player.
