Stan Collymore: "David Silva has shone at times but never on a consistent three or four-year basis like the real Premier League greats."
FUN FACT: No one has more assists or has created as many chances as David Silva has in the 7 YEARS he's been in the Premier League.

Collymore: "What about Aguero? He's been a phenomenal goalscorer but I can't put him in the same bracket as Drogba."
Aguero: 131 goals in 191 games
Drogba: 104 goals in 254 games
Stop talking Stan, you're embarrassing yourself.
Thanks to @F365 for uncovering this.

Early this morning, Stan was at it again...
4 of the current top 10 scorers in the 2017/18 Premier League season are English. The last time I checked, 4 was a bigger number than 1.
Thanks yet again to @F365 for pointing out Collymore's flawed ramblings.

Collymore - Dec 16: "If Pep thinks Watford, Leicester, Bournemouth, Southampton & Palace are going to let City have the ball for 90 per cent of the time and pass pretty patterns around them so they can get a result, then he is absolutely deluded."
Dec 17: 11 points clear, +37 GD

I'll tell you who Stan prefers to Pep, Jose, Wenger and co. Sean Dyche.
Apparently, it's because he never blames officials, even though he regularly does, as the always excellent @F365 have pointed out here.

Stan doesn't just have a blind-spot when it comes to Manchester City, he got Claude Puel all wrong too...
8 games into the Frenchman's time as Leicester boss, his win percentage is a staggering 62%.
"Underwhelming appointment" indeed.

Collymore: "As things stand, it’s blatantly obvious that Liverpool can score goals but not defend and I still don’t think enough people are picking them up on that."
Everyone has picked up on it, Stan. In fact, you'll probably struggle to find anyone who hasn't heard/said it.

Come on Stan, spewing out bile in an online column is one thing but refusing to write in coherent sentences is just taking the piss...
This morning, Collymore was happy to state that Alexis Sanchez was "someone every team needs", which is strange because last March, he described him as a "snake who's more than happy to let others carry the can".
Make up your mind, Stanley...
(Props to @F365 for this, as ever.)

FUN FACT: Pardew has won 7 of his last 54 games as a Premier League manager.

Stan - Jan 18: "The £75m Liverpool paid for Van Dijk is absolutely obscene. He's nowhere near proven."
Stan - Apr 18: "In December, I described Liverpool as a Ferrari up front and a misfiring Escort at the back. That changed in January, though, with the signing of Van Dijk."

Collymore - March 18: "Until Klopp addresses the defensive weaknesses in the way he puts teams out I think it would be right to question somebody that’s on whatever he’s on."

Collymore - 01.05.2018: "Erm, OK then, Patrick, I'll give you three off the bat: Mendy, when he's fit, and Sane at Manchester City. Robertson and whoever is playing on the left for Liverpool. And Alonso and Hazard at Chelsea."
I don't think Stan gets the joke, just a hunch...

Crystal Palace are the first team in 107 years to survive after losing every one of their first 7 games.
According to Stan, that equates to us “being poor for most of the season”.
Everyone’s least favourite “JOURNALISTE!” has bottled it big time here.

Collymore - 27th November 2017: "I’m finding it difficult to get too excited about what Man City are doing for now."
Man City ended the 17/18 Premier League campaign having been behind for just 153 minutes across 38 fixtures, the lowest of any team in the competition's history.

Collymore: "Should Klopp lose on Saturday he will face the same old questions – is he destined always to be the bridesmaid and never the bride, a manager who can get you so far but not far enough."
Clearly, Klopp's 2 Bundesliga titles count for nothing in Stan's world...

This morning, Stan was called out for ignoring the fact that Raheem Sterling managed 11 assists for Man City last season, prompting him to vastly overestimate Robbie Fowler before being comprehensively shot down by OptaJoe inside 20 minutes...
Collymore: "‘Don’t be under any illusions about Germany. Whichever team finishes one goal better off than manager Joachim Low and his German side will probably win the World Cup."
MEXICO ARE GOING TO WIN IT ALL!

Collymore: "I have to mention Mendy, because what that geezer is on, only he will know. He played about six minutes for City, yet he's sliding across the turf with the World Cup."
1) He played 361 minutes, not 6.
2) He's happy that France won the World Cup, is that a crime?

Collymore on Mourinho - Sep 17: "You don't win by being a nice guy. He's developed that it in the Premier League and it's no wonder United are benefiting from having him."
Collymore on Jose - Aug 18: ‘He's tired, angry, aggressive and mardy and that's not a good fit at United."

Collymore: "Hazard is under no pressure at Chelsea. When you’re in that kind of situation it dims the fire a little and it seems he's been in that mode for the last few seasons at Chelsea."
Hazard's last 6 seasons: 2 PL titles, 4x PFA Team of the Year, 1x PFA Player of the Year.

Stan: "Pickford has ‘Get the rave on’ etched on his boots, I say tone it down and be ultra-professional, because you haven’t done enough yet."
1) Who cares?
2) He got to a World Cup SF, you have 3 caps.
3) You punched a woman whilst at Villa. Professionalism? Nah, mate.

Collymore: "I like Zaha but what he's saying about having to have his leg broken before tackles on him are punished is codswallop."
I can remember 1 red card (when Albrighton was last man) for a foul on Zaha, in his 8 years as a pro.
No red here?

Stan: "Pellegrini needs to get rid of players like Arnautovic and build a proper spine before adding the players around the periphery."
FUN FACT: Only Mohamed Salah has scored or assisted more Premier League goals than Marko Arnautovic in 2018.

Yesterday afternoon, Stan took to Twitter to tell everyone not to bother reading the local press for football coverage as it’s full of “self-serving sycophants”.
He was quite rightly taken apart by countless people. The replies are fantastic.

Collymore: "City didn't beat Liverpool in last season's Champions League because it's not in their DNA. As unsavoury as the attack on City’s bus was, you saw what it meant to Liverpool fans that night at Anfield."
Want European success? Just smash up a bus. Stan's on the ball.

Collymore: "I keep hearing what a genius the Leeds boss Bielsa is but I can’t work out why.”
He’s managed Argentina, Chile, Bilbao & Marseille and has Pochettino, Guardiola & countless other ex-players as huge fans after 29 years as a coach. I’ll take their testimony, Stan.

Aguero now has 157 Premier League goals to his name, the 8th highest ever & 53 more than Drogba scored in 27 games fewer. Yesterday he scored his 10th hat-trick.

Stan Collymore thinks Manchester City should offer £150 million + John Stones and Nicolás Otamendi for Virgil van Dijk if they want to "be the best".
They literally broke the 100-point barrier last season and are currently above Liverpool in the table with 9 games left to play.

Collymore: "Maguire, even in an expensive market, is overpriced. His price means he eclipses Van Dijk, 28, who became the world’s costliest defender when he joined Liverpool for £75m. But he's proven to be worth every penny."
Funnily enough, Stan was equally fumed by VVD's price

Collymore: "Sir Alex Ferguson made a beeline for Liverpool when he arrived at Old Trafford and told them that United would knock them off their ‘****ing perch’."
Ferguson joined United in November of 1986 and didn't give this quote until 2002, just a 16-year gap there, Stan.
