The 3 best footy podcasts. Can't stand Gabriele Marcotti on The Times podcast.

It was genuinely a PHENOMENAL PR stunt that Palace talked him up so much (whilst Bolasie was quite clearly the better all-round player) than United paid so much for him. Zaha is a decent Championship winger. No more, no less.

I said equivalent, meaning a team then that were of same standard to Everton now - midtable. And I'm not certain they would. It's a shame that we'll never know. I am probably talking more about footy further back - watch the 1966 final. It GENUINELY looks like League Two/Vanarama Prem...

I think Martial's got a while to go to prove he deserves to be in that company. Zaha goes without saying, he's alongside Bebe, Jordi Cruyff and Eric Djemba-Djemba in the true greats of United's past.

Fair point, well it's a sliding scale isn't it? My point is your average player at, say, Everton, is going to be of a higher basic technical ability than the equivalent player 30 years ago - probably in large part due to the influx of foreigners back in the 90s. It's also that players are...

It's a tricky one, because that is also balanced out by old football being rubbish. The overall average technical standard nowadays is lightyears ahead, but at the same time we are devoid of many absolutely top, top class players now Suarez buggered off. Aguero and Ozil I suppose, but not many...
