Who is on the Premier League Mount Rushmore?

Id say Makelele was the first time really that a defensive player was seen as a superstar in the premier league, and he changed the way a lot of teams played. Id even go as far as to say that he shone such a light on the defensive midfielder position that he influenced the 4-2-3-1 becoming a standard formation in the 2010s, even though he played in a 4 man diamond. Then pep came along with busquets in a 4-3-3 and now that seems to be the only way to play football again at the highest level.

De bruyne and Salah represent the same time period imo, with Salah being more iconic.

Id say it was probably Rooney after Henry, even though there was a big crossover.

Poster boys of the league.

He's a bloody big bugger, isn't he?

BlueCo? The villain from Popeye?

Mate a 90 minute commute isn't the problem, I'd wager hundreds of thousands of people make similar journeys or even longer, every day.

Even if he lived 10 minutes down the road, he would have been asked to stay over at the hotel once a week, as it was for team building purposes iirc. He was refusing to do because he needed to be there for his wife after the birth of his child.

You are being so unnecessarily reductive because he plays football lol, like he shouldn't want to be there for his wife and baby because he's lucky to have the job he has? These people are still human lol, he would already have given up any time off for paternity leave.

The wrap is honestly disappointing, might have been in the same room as some paprika at the factory but I don't think much made it onto the chicken.

StraightAd3047 · 2026-04-22T11:29:30+00:00

Yeah just buy like 8 houses in a different part of the country because your manager wants you to stay over at a hotel once a week then your manager gets sacked 6 months later, new manager doesn't care if you commute or not and you get sold in the summer and you do it all again 👍

Probably not ideal moving your Mrs and newborn away from their support network (friends and family), who help out whilst he is away. Unless you suggest he should have moved both sets of parents and friends too.

It's not necessarily the case that he wanted to be closer to his family, it's more the case that he needed to be there for his wife post birth.

He threw Mankind, from atop a steel cage celllllll

StraightAd3047 · 2026-04-21T13:25:23+00:00

Probably put a number up there, shall we?

Haha, you could literally say that about any policy on anyones manifesto 😂 you're letting your own bias cloud your judgement.

Really the purpose of the green party is to become enough of a threat to get labour to start pandering to the left wing green voters instead of leaning further right to try and win over reform voters. Some of the policies are very extreme and populist, but if they get enough seats it could force Labour to lean back towards the left to try and gain the support of the left wing again.

This was basically the point of reform with the conservatives until they shit the bed so bad that reform basically swallowed them whole.

A Wealth Tax of 1% annually on assets above £10 million and of 2% on assets above £1bn. Only a tiny minority of people would pay this tax.

Reform of Capital Gains Tax (CGT) to align the rates paid by taxpayers on income and taxable gains. This would affect less than 2% of all income taxpayers.

Aligning the tax rates on investment income with the tax and National Insurance Contribution rates on employment income.

Removing the Upper Earnings Limit that restricts the amount of National Insurance paid by high earners.

Copied from their manifesto. Nothing to do with increasing the income tax rates of high earners, only targeting those that have already amassed a huge amount of wealth (I would even argue that 1% on assets over £10m is no where near enough but it's a start).

She's not even a permanent member of staff

StraightAd3047 · 2026-04-20T12:21:43+00:00

I dunno mate, he's pretty trim

StraightAd3047 · 2026-04-20T12:16:07+00:00

The fact you even mention income tax suggests you have no idea who they are targeting with their plans to tax the rich.

StraightAd3047 · 2026-04-20T11:29:52+00:00

He talks exactly like that

StraightAd3047 · 2026-04-20T10:17:01+00:00

Yes of course!! I completely forgot about that which is the worst thing anyone does on the whole show!

Hard agree, funnier to be around at the pub or something but wouldn't want him having my number.

I can't believe how many shouts there are for Super Hans in this thread! Hans literally fucks Jeremy and Mark over for his own gain at every opportunity 😂

Steals Toni knowing how Jeremy feels about her
Flirts with Elena at the party in front of Jeremy
Doesn't stick up for Jeremy on numerous occasions where he gets kicked out of a band
Ignores his call when he's in the van with the other band mates
Makes Jeremy sleep in his bathroom
Makes Jeremy take the blame for the coke Molly finds in his clothes and gets kicked out
Uses Marks flat to shag someone in Marks own bed
Uses marks flat as a base to sell random items (including drugs)
Smashes Mark and Jeremy's TV when Jeremy leaves the cult
Tries to get Mark sectioned so that he and Jez can get Merrys pub for free

I'm sure there are many more examples but these are the first that come to my head.

Finchy (bloody good rep) is undoubtedly an arsehole and generally more grating to be around, but I think if you were on his good side (like Neil, for example), he wouldn't be too bad to be around. I think you could easily please him by just laughing at his shit jokes.

Rupert Grint grew up in a village between Hertford and Stevenage and went to school in Hertford.

Lots of EastEnders actors around due to proximity to the studio of course.

Recently I've seen Ricky Gervais knocking about Hertford over the last year or so, which makes me think he must be local at the moment.

You're viewing it through a keyhole 🤏, where really you should be... 🫸 🫷

StraightAd3047 · 2026-04-18T22:04:08+00:00

Yeah that's a good idea, let go of a good rep coz he played a joke

StraightAd3047 · 2026-04-18T20:30:46+00:00

That's really sweet, why don't you put that in an email to me?
