The thread invited comparisons kan, and well you know it
If I started a thread saying, "New Labour has been about Brown too, not just Blair", I'd fully expect it to lead to a comparison of their merits and records
Then you get people like reflectorboy, saying patently absurd things like that you can't say one player is better than another when they play in different positions - one of the most spastic comments ever made by anyone in history - and others saying we only think Rooney's better cos he's English. It was always clearly going to end up with us having to spell out the simple fact that Rooney's better, and that anyone who disagrees is gay.
