Creampuff 22,628 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Fowler and Owen, no in my opinion.I'm not going to lie, i've not been exposed to enough foreign football to actually debate this. Probably shouldn't have made my claim.You're saying Boyd was/is better than Fowler and Owen? . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al 55 9,249 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 That may be what's clouding your judgement Is that the Fowler and Owen that played the majority of their careers in one of the best leagues in the world for teams like Liverpool and Real Madrid, played in World Cups and Euro Championships compared to Boyd who played for one big team in a diddy league and couldn't cut it anywhere else.You're right you don't know much.

Owen flopped at Madrid.Doesn't matter if it's the best league in the world. Boyd was a better poacher than both of them. Played in World cups and Euro because they're English. If Scotland could play football Boyd would have done the same.Couldn't cut it is a myth, people neglect the circumstances at each club. Fowler and Owen failed more at their other clubs more so than Boyd did. Also you need to take in to account the pressure Boyd was under at Ibrox. To score so many goals in such a composed fashion shows how good a poacher he was, great positional sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorSwift 53 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Don't use the same insult back .It was in jest.Respect others opinions anyway, it makes the forum a much nicer place. TWB knows nothing about me to merit calling me a simpleton.I may have a minority opinion on the matter but i believe i can justify it. I'm also just sticking up for a player who's been labelled "useless".Boyd was a top class poacher, one of the best i've seen. He may not make every bodies top ten but to deny the talent when it's evident is moronic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're an absolute joke, it's what you constantly do on here, me noticing this is not the same as me being annoyed by it either.Done with this thread. Been ruined by yourself.
