    BBC One tonight at 10.25pm. Shearer, Wrighty and Lineker meeting up in the latters kitchen
    again, to select their top ten forwards from the Premiership years. Be very interesting to see
    how they rate each other. Seen the trailer earlier. Ian Wright looked to be a bit tetchy.

    One of the few pusses of the current situation. Even easier to avoid the overblown nonsense that is the Premier League, Premiership , New World order or whatever it is.

    To be fair to them DT, they have screened some good stuff over the last few days.
    For example they showed a re-run of " Footballs Foreign Legion", which reprised
    forty years of foreign players coming to play in the English game e.g. Ossie Ardiles,
    Ricky Villa, Franz Thyssen, Arnold Muhren et al.

    They also showed a two part documentary charting the seven seasons titled " When English football Ruled Europe"
    in which they followed the impressive European Cup exploits of Liverpool, Forest and Villa and then this
    afternoon, they looked back at some of the better games from the World Cup in Russia. I particularly enjoyed that
    programme, because at the time the competition took place, I spent five days in Dewsbury Hospital having hip replacement surgery and because they didn't have TV's on the ward, I missed quite a few games, so it filled in some of the blanks for me.

    On their web page there's also a chance to watch again Liverpools Euro comeback over AC Milan, England's win
    over Croatia at the Euros in 2004 and an article on Jurgen Klopp. For our friends North of the Border they
    also highlight Scotlands momentous friendly win 1-0 against World Cup holders Argentina in 1990.

    They were before football was invented in 1993, surely?

    He'd be second in my list below Henry. Even if I thought I was the best I wouldn't have put myself top though.

    My top 10:

    They only considered premier league strikers... it was absolute dog muck. They just said their top tens, with the big joke being that they’d put shearer at the top. Which they thought was very amusing. It was very uninteresting. They didn’t follow any social distancing, just sat around a kitchen table... unless they all now live together? Which could be a possibility with their over the top clamouring to say how good each other were... half an hour I’ll never get back...

    It was recorded before social distancing, hence the numerous messages at the bottom of the screen explaining this.

    You'd have thought that with their presenter being one of the best strikers that this country has produced that they might, just for once, acknowledge that football actually existed before the bloody Premier League.

    They should I agree but I guess like everything they're trying to appeal to a certain demographic. I can remember the old division 1 but nobody under 35 will. I'd be interested to learn about Jimmy Greaves etc as him playing was before my time but again, how many 20 somethings are likely to be? I can see both arguments.

    To totally pretend as though top flight football never existed when talking about records etc. is a bit silly, though (I appreciate the Premier League is technically another competition).

    You're right about why they do it but I just find it all a bit flawed and marketed. I was in my mid twenties when the PL came along so like you grew up watching old football. I was discussing some players with one of my lads recently and he found it hilarious that I had the temerity to discuss Ian Rush and Aguero in the same sentence. He genuinely believes that players back in the black and white amateur days were just cloggers who wouldn't play at National league level now. That is PL brainwashing at it's best.
