What’s Carlton Palmer done to make people dislike him?
Not as good as gattuso by any metric.
6?
Controlling a 50 yard ball over your shoulder, faking a shot and rounding one of the best keepers in the world in the same touch. Filth
Man it’s just so sexy
He was just seen to be a bit of a joke within the media in the 90s but regularly played for England. Not sure why. I liked him!
10/10 for Magical Kicks alone
came here to slate him but now everyone else has so i feel like defending him
A very sexy man.

Definitely think the kickback against the Pirlo “cult” has gone a little far here.
He definitely needed the team to be built around him in order to work, but does that mean he wasn’t world class?
I think the thing is that football is still essentially entertainment and people are bound to choose the ones they associate with good memories rather than stats/achievements
I’ve gone for a seven as he wasn’t as good as most of the list so far bar Fowler who he was a fair bit better than.
is that supposed to big him up?
looks like a diser taken on a wine tour he doesn’t want to go on
that plaid shirt ffs
Yes.
Reckon it would be fun to be Pirlo. Make sure you have two other players in midfield to do all your running for you, get the ball off the defence, hoof it up to the big man (or wide man) for 90 minutes, get called an understated genius.
You sure you’re not thinking of Granit Xhaka?
Very strange that 15 years worth of Juve, Milan and Italy managers failed to notice that Andrea Pirlo is actually a bit shit, where here on community.drownedinsound.com we’ve got him sussed
