You guys can confidently type rubbish. That was how you disgraced yourself with ''tallness is talent'' nonsense.

Melvyn was actually wrong with that usage of ''all time great'', since he claimed that Mou was greater than Fraudiola.

When you use ''all time'', it means nothing surpasses it. Leyqute was actually right, he should be the one mocking both of you, while you run to Dayo for the next move.

Swissh already beat me to it: "an" all-time great is indefinite in English. "The" all-time great is definite.

If you think I would re-post articles of researchers validating what I said, you are on a long thing.

Sometimes just keep your conversations limited to Hensben and Hensben only. I won't tell you why.

AirFart has come again cheesy cheesy. Melvyn said pep is "an all time great" which means among the great coaches in history. He never said Pep is the greatest coach of all time.

Don't be casting your pearls to swine brother.

He Googled "all-time" and thought he was coming here to teach anybody anything.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/all-time

I will engage you further just to show you the peak of your understanding is some people's trough.

Cambridge was defining "all-time" for you and not the phrase "an all-time" or "the all-time" or "off all times". I know you don't know but they are not all the same.

When a British person says "an all-time great" they mean that person was the best in a particular time. Mike Tyson is an all-time great boxer. Kobe Bryant is an all-time great basketballer.

But when they say "the all-time great" they mean, the best there has ever been. Michael Jordan is the all-time great basketballer.

I won't call you names because...well...I will let your own posts do that to you.

You hear people say CR7 is a GOAT. Maradona is a GOAT but Messi is the GOAT. They know the difference and that is the sort of subtle nuance that is expected to fly-over you like... bridges.

You that could type 500,000 words to prove that tallness is a talent, wouldn't find it difficult to even change what was emboldened by the dictionary itself. Sorry, argue with yourself. cheesy

Do a full snap-shot of what cambridge is defining and prove they were not defining just "all-time".

Stephen Curry:

I know the reality of the situation in terms of we lost a guy like Kevin Durant, who's an all-time great basketball player,

Therefore Steph Curry was saying KD is the best basketballer ever - Airmark.

For context:

Stephen Curry’s top five basketball players (in order): MJ, Wilt, LeBron, Shaq & Magic.

No KD.

So why call him an all-time great since to the same Curry, he is not the greatest basketball player ever?

Because Curry knows what Melyvn11, Swissh and Eruditor know that Airmark does not know.

I was quoting an English dictionary, that told you that nothing surpasses the level of the noun used with "all-time", you are quoting Steph Curry, an American.

How can this definition support anything you are saying when you thought you were laughing at me when I said "at a particular time"?

Sampras is an all-time great. Nadal is an all-time great. Novak is an all-time great. But many regard Federer as THE all-time great in Male tennis.

Lmaoooo I think both cases can be true. The Patriots have been known to do whatever to win. I mean their owner was busted at an olosho joint, they had Spygate, Deflategate, Patrick Chung one of their players is in police net for cocaine possession, Josh Gordon na junkie and they had freaking Aaron Hernandez of 'blessed memory'

They have never been a team of boy scouts so I feel he might still have issues regardless. Of course if you have the option of getting Antonio Brown for free at essentially $10m guaranteed I don't know that you turn it down if you believe he would be a difference maker

His ex-trainer is suing him for rape now.

This is his Collins dictionary o..
Yet he didn't see this definition(they even used "an" as an example to prove here it's still overall. Quite funny). Sometimes, let some people just admit they are wrong, simple.

...and from the definition I gave, using the dictionary, how was that different from the "GOAT"? Spillo, talked about some of the greats in football, which isn't wrong using his examples. But from all the definitions(even aside the Collins dictionary,) still gave same definition as same as that of "overall achieved" in relations to his contemporaries, both past and present at that instant time.

Anybody with eye will know chelsea won ucl as a result of the experienced players in the team, their determination and hunger for ucl glory made it happen that night. Watching Chelsea play under Di Mateo was an eyesore. The Di Mateo argument you are bringing up doesn’t even make sense because aside winning ucl klopp is a trainer, he turned average players to world class and use them to do great things, this type of coach are very rare this days. Pep did marque signings in all position include the bench and you are telling medegedegede.

Everybody also knows klopp won the Champions league because he broke the transfer record and also became the coach with the most expensive eleven to win the Champions league.
Ranieri used average players to achieve great things same with Di mateo . If using average players to win stuff is your bread and butter that means you place Ranieri and Di Mateo above Ancelotti and Zidane. Yes or No!

Riniery won epl not ucl. Di Mateo winning ucl was a fluke and the determination of the players. Those who watch chelsea play under Di Mateo knew we were just defending and looking for one breakthrough.
