I completely agree. Although I have a deep admiration for english football, I am not english; I am spanish, hailing from Barcelona, for instance (warm regards to our legend Gary Lineker, by the way). The thing is, I wasn't acquainted with Shearer's personality beyond the pitch. Naturally, I held him in high regard as a player, but it's been a pleasure to observe his rather easy-going, if not somewhat laid-back, demeanor. I found it quite appealing. I also thoroughly enjoy Micah. The guy is an absolute delight and can light up a room with his presence. In summary, I love this podcast 🙌

R9 is by far the best player I've ever seen, the things he was doing were unthinkable at the time. He had every single attribute of a striker to the highest level there was. The fact he gets included in best player of all time debates despite having his 3 and half year practically career ending injury shows truly what a gift he was to football and his mentality to come back and do what he did in 2002. Blessed to have been able to witness him

It was a joke/play on the kids at the time, when they started to use their favourite players names on their display names/usernames so I named the site & my username Prime R9 a nod to my favourite player from my younger years. So now when people say Prime "insert players name" that comes from me. Over the years my slang has caught on 😉 no one really says "in his prime" it's always "prime" then the players name.

Ronaldo Phenomenon is the greatest attacking player I've ever seen. There's no question 'R9' is far better than CR7, which sounds crazy, and Christiano of course isn't simply a striker, and I'd regard him as the best wide player in his position, but Brazilian Ronaldo is truly the greatest from the 90's to today (at his peak). He played like a computer game on amateur mode; strength, speed, agility, touch, dribbling, and even vision were all perfect. The way he thought so quickly to get out of positional problems, or tackles was just electrifying. People talk about his injuries, but I think it's almost as though a human body containing his ability and speed could never have maintained it for more than 5 years. Lightning.

Micah needs to start commentating during games. R9 shone in a Brazilian team with Ronaldinho (Ballon d'Or winner), Kaka (Ballon d'Or winner), Rivaldo (Ballan d'Or winner), Carlos (Madrid GOAT), and Cafu. For context, R9 played 98 times for Brazil with knee injuries throughout his career, which resulted in multiple clubs. He also was diagnosed with a thyroid condition which resulted in weight gain. Had he been playing in the modern game today, he would average 40-50 goals per season when you look at Haaland and Mbappe and what they are doing with a fraction of his talent.

The disrespect to CR7 is real. He only became a prolific goalscorer after 2016 (after the knee injury). Micah is talking as if he never saw Ronaldo play in the Premier League. "Cristiano just finds a way to score" wow.... CR7 has scored goals from half way line, long shots, freekicks, headers, defensive work.. R9 didn't have any of that.

That's the point Micah making! It has gone over your head. The versatility & output of CR7 has made him a more prolific scorer. Stop fighting fires that are not lit.🤦♂ He is being complimentary to CR7!!

CR7’s career is only matched by Messi in my opinion. However, ability wise, R9 was separate & a total anomaly. No comparison

@@pauliyonas3576 He averaged 1.85 successful dribbles per game in 11/12 and 1.5 key passes per game according to Opta - which people often use as synonymous with chances-created; he officially got 12 La Liga assists in 11/12 while R9 got 10 in 96/97. Suarez in his best season averaged 2.9 dribbles per season and more of these dribbles were central with less time and space; Suarez also has more assists and better shots-per-goal across his career...though assists are generally meaningless (Peter Crouch has more than Paul Scholes) and passing stats have to be multi-faceted (passes into final-third, throughballs, long-range key passes, forward passes/progressive passes, passing accuracy, etc.). CR7 has surpassed R9 just by being the best athlete and counter-attacking player of all time, but R9 was definitely more naturally talented - far more accurate with shooting and much better close-control while being stronger and with lethal acceleration.

Richards played 2 games against Henry. They weren't really the same era. Richards made his debut in 05-06 season and Henry was gone by summer or 2007.
