Zola was a great player but I think his lack of real success and the fact he came late on in his career take away from it, that and he's not as good as Henry or Cantona.

but don't forget he is the only player to win the Player of the Season without having played a whole season.

the holy traid is zola cantona schmiechal imo. i say this as no ManU lover, trust me. and they are too close to seperate too imo.

eyah but a great player has to have something more than just talent and Zola just doesn't compare to Cantona in terms of personality or actual success.
 
he wasn't the best player to ever grace the premiership thats for sure

That's certainly true. I'd put Keane, Schmeichel and certainly Giggs just from that team way above him. Then there's Shearer, Klinsmann, Scholes, Sheringham, Bergkamp, Viera, Gascoigne.

Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes are devoid of personality, why should that come into whether or not a player is great.

And that's why I wouldn't rate Giggs or Schole's up there as truely special, they are fantastic footballers and an inspiration with their loyalty to Man Utd but when you look back and are asked to think of a really special Premiership player Cantona comes to mind first.

Because, I didn't realise that somehow, this being football after all, we had to use perfect punctuation and al that jazz.
 
cantona was special, without him i doubt man utd would have been the force they were in the 90's. henry has had a crap season, previous seasons he has been up there with the very best.

the thing that will stay with me was the commentators words when rooney scored against the arse when he was at everton "remember the name, wayne rooney" perhaps in years to come he will live up to the image.

well considering you were bringing him up to have a pop at Cantona's intellectual prowess and you then went on to have a pop at others for not knowing who this elusive Descart is you might well expect some shit back.

BTW what has Descartes got to do with Cantona's quote?
 
It was just to point interlect Vs lnterlect and how they are both French, that Cantona's interlect can possibly mached matched to that of that Descartes, the man behind possibly the most important aspect of identity, whilst Cantona was/is just a sulky footballer who won the same competion four times.

it's intellect not interlect you silly cunt.

And just because he's french doesn't mean the quotes are comparable, Cantona was talking about football being as beautiful and artisitic as painting, he was trying to collapse the binary between common everyday entertainment and high art. Descartes was a philosopher of the self, you migth as well compare Tarantino and Plato. If you wanted a comparrison you could have said he's no Duchamp.

with actual success agree - but remember we were hardly a cup winning side in 199x when he arrived. he was however casual to the re-emergence of chelse as a top five fixture. that, i concede, may a good or a bad thing.


on the personality i disagree.

Yeah, I reckon Gullit and Hughes helped start the re-emergence.

He was just a fucking footballer, he didn't change the fucking world, did he?

gullit/hughes/vialli/zola were the catalyst to leap out of perennial 14th place. great days when we were experimenting with being good :)

i particularly remember after 'luca's 1st game in charge the headlines of Highbury Five-0 celebrating a very satisfying business. and turning valencia(?) over from 2-1 behind at home. and of course the tear laden mascara present at the end of 'pool's 4-2 humiliation

back then we were not as good and not as cyncial and it was somehow much more satisfying.

zola however, must not be forgotten for his contribution to the culture of the nation. he was - and it never ceases to amaze me - one of the schoolkids in Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" video. :)
 
Totally, totally agree. It was infinitely more fun. Weird that.

Loads of happy memories. Gus Poyet after 27 seconds against United (5-0!), that was a great, great game. I was there and there was ecstasy for 90 minutes!

Was it Valencia or Celta Vigo? I genuinely can't remember.
 
Yeah. Helsingborgs or something and we lost but won the return leg 7-0. We won the Cup Winners Cup that year.
 
You di somehow he went from some subline(overrated) footballer to the paster of interlect abnd the english word.
