Rivaldo when he was world best player said Totti was the man
R9 said was Recoba was the best player he saw.
the list goes on
Players speak highly of each other for reasons best known to them, still don't change nothing

Schole is just an average midfielder with shooting power, Fact
There's a reason English players were hardly bought by top clubs in Spain and Italy then
Cause they don't have enough quality
They are just little above average at best
Save for those few who I mentioned
"who the hell is...." of course how would u know
after all u most likely stared watching European footie when dstv came

For us purists who have followed the game for long we don't do Sentiments, we tell u what we see

Weither u vex or not wouldn't Change anything

you are just saying nonsense, do you know that the two dominating clubs in Spanish league mainly buy players outside Spain which gives them the edge over other teams in the their local league mainly from the English league.
The only thing that makes Real Madrid the best team in the world is because they keep buying from the English league,,,, Beckham, Owen, Ruud, Cr7, Bale.... should I continue? why can't they just stick with there Spanish players?
oga carry your sentiment go jare I ain't buying into it.

..Rooney along with most English players are over hyped clowns
Can't be compared to natural talented players from other places
They would be nobody's in football without them being British and the Media hype, Fact

Quiet strange that English players that are even good don't really get their media hype eg: Le tisser, Stev Mac Manaman, Lampard, Gerrald, Joe coal (west ham)

Henry at 03/04 was the best players in the world performance wise, Fact! same with 04/05
English league was still not rated by FIFA so he lost to Zidane and Ronaldinho respectively
But anyone who really watched things then would tell u no one performed better than Henry those yrs

It is the same type thing that made Eto win ahead of Jay Jay that same period

Sorry Dennis Bergkamp was runner up to Baggio and R9 ie: 92 & 97 I think
No English player ever can be compared to the flying Dutchman

Bergkamp was already a shadow of himself when he was playing with Henry. The best of Bergkamp was when he was playing earlier with Anelka and Marc Overmars

Guy you are trying ooh.How will you support Chelsea and barca two sworn enemies.

Other trio mentioned don collect sef

"..shadow of himself...." true, but still a master
Can't forget his goal against Newcastle 2001

Best Bergkamp was the young master at Ajax
He was something else!

Things didn't just go right after his World record move to Inter Milan

He rediscovered himself with ian Wrights, Overmars and Anelka at Arsenal
97-99 were his best yrs at Arsenal

Let leave talk here

U can keep ur Sentiments but What I told u is facts.
Clear facts

which facts?
how can you be comparing Henry with likes of Zidane, Ronaldinho, and co. You even said Henry at best is better than Messi and Cr7 at best.

Arsenal Trio were the best at counter attacks

Ferguson and other coaches got that counter attacking style from Wenger invincible team

Pre Wenger, that unique fast counter attack (using less than 3-5 touches) was not popular in world football
He revolutionised football in that regard

That Arsenal trio remains the best

wit Man u trio 2007/2008,.. They were able to win UCL&EPL same season!!

Do the maths

There you go. So the front three at Arsenal as at 2004 then was more of a one man show, Henry's show. He was the forward the rest supported him But the combo of Rooney, Tevez and Ronaldo was more devastating because they interchanged roles and the three were equally lethal. Ronaldo became the face of the attack because he was fanciful with his footwork and he scored slightly more goals (I use the word slightly because Ronaldo scored lots of penalty spot kicks). The same can be said about the Man United team of 99, Dwight Yorke, Andy Cole and Teddy Sheringham interchanged roles so much that you couldn't pick one as being the main forward. (A part of me still regards that attacking formation as a duo of Cole and Yorke rather than a trio) This current trio at Liverpool has the same pattern of the Man United team at 07-08, Salah is the face of the team because he is the most fanciful and because of his solo goals. So Firmino, Mane, Salah(liverpool) Rooney, Tevez, CR7 (ManU) define the word 'trio' just like MSN of Barca. Not the Chelsea, Arsenal or Manchester city trio listed up there.

Go re-read that post again, this time slowly
I believe u are not a kid, so don't twist my words
And stop taking this personal, it changes nothing

HundredWays:
wit Man u trio 2007/2008,.. They were able to win UCL&EPL same season!!

Do the maths

Yoke, cole, Beckham and giggs won Treble, so?!!

Topic is about EPL not UEFA

With Arsenal trio Highbury was a slaughter ground
Winning the league unbeaten and going 49games unbeaten is no mean feat
And they did it in style playing the most attractive football in the world then

1 man show?? lol when even subs like Reayes, Jeffers, Wilford were on fire let alone other starters like Lumberg, edu etc

U clearly didn't really watch Arsenal 02-04 cause if u did we would not be having this argument

Any fan who really watched all those listed and is not sentimental would pick that Arsenal trio

What I Meant by the UCL stuff was, they were very excellent that year that they won the most important league of all league!!

Because of their performance that year, CR7 was crown world best footballer.... "Ballon d'or"

Till date, he's the only English player to have won World Best Footballer Award - Ballon d'or....

?!@#??
..u seem to be going off topic
This is not about CR7 or who won ballon d'or

It is about the best trio in EPL history

I even rate the cole- york-Beckham- giggs combo high than the Rooney cr7 tevez thing

it's about synergy
How well did the combo gel, the connection, ease of play and understanding

Many combo's score lots of goals but they don't have good understanding and never really gel
Their individual ability just compensates

With that Arsenal trio they could even play blind folded and still connect! their understanding was top notch
a good eg: Pires- Bergkamp combo goal vs Newcastle 2001 ( was best goal of season I think)
