Out of interest, is there a distinction between 'favourite' and 'best' here?

I guess people have their personal favourites for their own reasons, but to say Wright and Keown were better than Henry and Adams would be a bit, well, wrong.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Didn't say that though did I. Loved Charlie coz he was my first hero when i was young and we were crap, loved Wrighty for his attitude. Neither are better than say Henry and others but so what? That's not what this post is about.

I used to love John Jenson and Eboue as well for different reasons. BFG Merts is another character
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, that's fair enough, totally personal opinion - just wanted to clarify as I think most have jumped to the conclusion that this is a 'best 11' from your lifetime.

If you asked me to do an 11 of my favourite United players, I would probably have Kanchelskis in there over Ronaldo/Beckham.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah this post seems to have gone off kilter a tad. Kanchelskis was rapid. Couldn't stand either Ronaldo or Beckham tbh. Not my types of player. Bryan Robson or Whiteside were the nuts though.

hahahah oh no - now you are accidently/on purpose telling everyone what a big shot you are. Oh dear. You really are inadequate and, well, a bit needy aren't you. I bet you will tell everyone what a big car you've got next huh? hahaha

=======
You brought up a job as an insult.
You brought up League Cup tickets.
You brought up poncing off the state.

All strange insults, tbh, and none true to me. Sorry that you are so uppity you hate Amazon workers who are doing a good job and providing for their families. Says a lot about you, and the status you think you have...

Yeh the distinction is important "best" or "favourite" can be entirely different things, I had players I grew up watching certain players who were clearly not better than others but I formed a link with them for differing reasons, could be two lists, best players and fav players?

I should have done that. Next time to stop others calling me out I'll do just that. Maybe I'll underline the word FAVE in capital letters and in BOLD and maybe underline it. If JA had more graphics i could even have little flashing lights and a big arrow pointing at the word FAVE - just to make it really really clear for the hard of thinking.

Fair point Dan I said that because my fave and best 11s differ by about 5 players over the period I've watched my team and if honest it's pretty fluid as I toil to make my mind up with most things

Aye whisper it quietly but if you ask me tomorrow I'll have Henry over Wright and stick Sanchez in there somewhere. Should have looked up the best Arsenal team on Google and just cut n pasted in instead as we are not allowed to have different opinions without people getting all mad and ruddy faced.

'There is an official time keeper who tells the ref how long to add on but them the ref just adds on what he feels" is what I expect a clueless gobby little caaant to say.

Loved Nacho. All effort player. I rated Giroud as well but to be fair it was pretty slim pickings when he was at the club. Gilberto was a bit of a comedown after Petit for me - preferred Edu.

Decent team. Never really rated Sol - always looked a bit clumsy to me. His breakdown at H/T v West Ham when he walked out didn't exactly go down too well either.

Never saw Brady or Stapleton play. Starting watching us just after they left. Remember John Hollins fondly though. Think he was about 34 when he signed or summat.
