well from my point of view regarding last season, Rio has been so far the better defender of the premiership eventhough I am an arsenal fan, so let's deal with it.

I don't know the make up of fans on this site- but Ledley King and Martin Laursen? REALLY? I nearly wet myself when I saw this. You have to look at the defenders from the top 4 end of story. Ferdinand and Vidic are outstanding. Defensively Liverpool are nothing without Carragher (although he was not his best last season). Terry and Carvalho are so solid- although Terry moans too much. Gallas at Arsenal has been outstanding.
Before you all start wittering on about me being a Man U fan or whatever I am Tigers thru and thru.
I just look at who has been voted for and people are voting for their own clubs- nothing to do with who is the best defender (IMO Ferdinand)

Nyron Nosworthy had one of the highest successful tackle rates in the prem last season, playing with poor cover from midfield.

You don't have to look at the top four, that's stupid. They have better players around so makes them look better. Put Ferdinand in Deby's back four and see how good he is!

Nozza for England!

Gallas outstanding? Hardly hed struggle I'm my Sunday league team! The arse's worst player. #1 would have to be vidic tho a fit ledley king would rival him.

When it comes to old fashioned defending, not forgetting that defending is a skill, Richard dunne has to be up there with the best. He just gets on with his job and gives 100 percent every game. He does not get the limelight other high profile names do, but i reckon that suits him down to the ground. He has been quality for City for years now....

Nyron for Jamica...............

seeing as he is constantly overlooked by England (wrongly overlooked may I add)

2008-07-07 16:42:19 ET

As a Liverpool fan, Ive got to say Nyron Noz (SAFC) is a sex machine and I want to have his babies!!

They tried to get the ball off Nyron and he said no no no. Clearly Nyron is the greatest defender as he had to play with Paul Mcshane for the start of the season plus he was shocking last time in Premier. Koplass any chance of posting chebs pic on smb

Well Phil the Tiger you also have to look at who/what the defenders of the top four have in front of them. You see they have a lot less defending to do than those of the clubs lower down the league.
That is why I voted for Noseworthy. Not A Fancy-Dan just a rock solid defender.

I am a gay man and I love Nyron, he is the best defender in the world today, marry me Nyron

Nyron is the ultimate legend. I would have his babies. Not in a gay way though.

It was me old mate 'arry that first spotted the Noz as a young kid in a local park. He showed me the vid and I knew straight away the Noz has the physique I could could buoild a boxing carrer on. I trained for a decade to become what the Noz is naturally, know what I mean, and if it hadn't been for the inspiration of the Noz I would never have got in the ring with Tyson.

Vote for the Noz

You know there are many many many good defenders playing, their name's fail me at the moment,I'm sure they know who they are, however I get very excited when I see Nyron ImNotworthy play, If I was England manager he'd by my Captain Fantastic.

Nosworthy is not just quality on legs, he is a gentleman. During the closed season he donated 3 of his kidneys to unfortunates.

Some say, that his amazing balance comes from wearing Polina Semionova's Ballet shoes under his Football boots............and that he can dribble a ball around our track faster than than The Stig in a Caparo T1.

But all we know, is that he is called The Nos

Hi Guys Lauwro here. I watched all the PL games as part of my job last season and I could play a bit at centre half myself, and all I can say is;

Nosworthy Does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nosworthy does it twice as good as you
Nyron is the best

2008-07-09 17:16:24 ET

He's big,
He's Coarse,
That Nosworthy's hung like a horse.

He's also captain next season lads.

I often get asked if there is a player who could be as good as me,well not only have I found a player as good but I believe he is the best. I often pop over to the SOL and have a drink in the Tavern and sing crazy songs about Shearer having contracted a nasty disease. We then head to watch The Nos who in my opinion is the best in the world ever.

Even I can't take the girth that is Nyron, it's still hurts from the last time he banged me senseless in the bogs of Prince of Wales.

The man is great, the man is huge, the man is NOZ!

Luv,

Jarra.

I like to do things to sheds in Wheatly Hill, East Durham. My new trick is to spray, THE NOZ on the side of sheds. It's a hobby

just stumbled across this site by acident, must be round sunderland or somethin cos Norsworthy isnt fit to lace J. Lescott's boots. big J.L best defender last season by far - left back, centre back, centre forward ? doesnt matter he is the 1. He scored more goals than most midfielders and cleared so many balls off the line. COYB!
