lol, nice
That’s the Shirt selling cup in the bag then.
Go on lads that’s another table well an truly sorted out by uniteds strike force
that no.3 guy…how did he even made the list?
guess which team didn’t make the list? *coughShittycough*
well, 24 millions for RvP seems really a cheap price now. Top of the league football, Top of the shirts seller table too. Robin van Persie was worth every fuckin penny.
Japanese are also in the top 10…nice Americans love Japanese..
RVP 20 + United, match made in heaven
great to hear that,….i would like it to see in comparison with la liga teams
Looks like Shinji was worth it for shirts. Get fit quickly and show us your class
Ha HA look at all the City players in the top ten,MASSIVE club loved throughout the world,small time wankers
No citeh player?brilliant.
Now you know why football will always be a second tier sport here in America. The tranny is at #3. Disgusting.
Fernando Torres
sold so much shirts when he was transfered in the beginning, that they though he was the messiah for them.
Everyone ordered his shirt so much that they haven’t shipped yet, but now because people want their money back, they can’t decide what to do , se torres’s shirts are always ranked high, they are stucked hhhaha. + so many chelse “fans” gave up to their team and started supporting city, they never shipped so the sale is high.
did that make any sense? haha
I have Carrick on the back of my Home shirt, however I’m not surprised he didn’t make the top 10!
I’m from Canada so its about the same culture as America, and I have to say that the majority of people who follow the PL would be described as “casual fans,” and Torres is a name that a lot of people recognize due mostly to his exploits with Spain and the big money transfer (lol). Also, Chelsea is one of the most popular teams on this side of the Atlantic.
I’m also not surprised no City players made the list. United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are by far the most popular clubs over here.
Actually, I don’t understand the fuss about Wilshere. Yea he is a tidy player, but people are making him look like he is the best thing since toasted bread
So we not only snatched the scorer from Arsenal, but also the shirt-seller.
I am still in the aftermath stage of the derby delight:)) but wouldn’t imagine that Torres could make this list.

You are right about wilshere. I think arsenal fans always tend to overrate their players. They have good bunch of players .Only good not great. They tend to go overboard in everything. Early in the season (When they were beating liverpools and thrashing southampton) everyone said they are the team to beat, then they fizzled out. Now again after the west brom win their manager says they are still in the tittle hunt. Now after bradford defeat they are again quite.
I may be wrong but I feel they are trying to copy us. They are finding a ronaldo type player in the team. By doing that they are forgetting that it is a team game. Wilshere is no fabregas. He is one of the better talents in their dressing room thats it. Many say they bring youth players. I don’t agree fully to that. They buy young players from other club. Fabregas was poached from barca. I don’t hate them like I hate City or chelsea or even Liverpool but they are crybabies. Their fans are double faced. Atleast we all know that Scouse fans or city fans are jerks and they behave like that but arsenal fans cannot be trusted. As much as I respect wenger I feel he has lost the plot in a big way. Sometimes you need to stay quite and let the time roll on rather than saying something rubbish.
Even Tevez’ children refuse to wear his name.
United have slipped badly in the Physio room injury table,we have dropped to eighth in the league.
Top post Scott. Not a city player on the list. HA! With Torres 3rd, ya have to wonder about the actual numbers. Has to be a fall off from first to third. We’ll who can figure what the North American market would be thinking.
Top Read of the day though is the new EPL rankings: Sweet
Ryan Giggs: best ever EPL player.
Rooney & RvP Best current players.
SAF: Best EPL Manager!

Mikel has no problems if Clattenburg referees a Chelsea match in the future, there are no hard feelings.
On another note. An aquintance to me, who just so happens to be Jewish, had his son (Benjamin) taken away from him when he succumed to cancer. My friend is distraught as you could well imagine.
Anyway I have read in the Heaven Times just today that Hitler has said their is no ill feeling with the jews and that he would be quite happy to attend young Benjamins bar mitzva in heaven.
Well thats nice, all is forgiven then. How many young jewish boys get a celebrity at their Bar Mitzva.
Great news about the shirt sales. As you all know I was against the RvP signing principly on grounds of too much money too old a player. His ability wasnt in question. But obviously those at OT had an idea it could go this way and shirt sales would increase and pay for the lad anyways. Ill keep my nose out in future.
Ha like some have pointed out NO City players at all. Wankers. Anyway why the FUCK is that little fag Hazard on that list?
I thought Chicho would be #1. I’m sure he was last year or the year before. A lot of Mexicans in Mexico and the States wear his jersey.
Super moron couldnt make the list
Shocked. Terry is not on the list.
No city not a surprise. By no stoke!.
City out?that tells it all hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
