Zlatan Ibrahimovic has reacted angrily to finish second on a list ranking Swedish sports people of all time. The PSG striker was the runner-up behind five-times Wimbledon winner Björn Borg as the Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter ranked the top 150 Swedes.
Ibrahimovic, however, was not best pleased with the result as the paper asked him for his thoughts.
Dagens Nyhether: Congratulations, you have finished second on the list of Swedish sports people of all time, how do you feel about that?
Zlatan: Thank you but to finish second is like finishing last.
DN: You have previously mentioned Muhammad Ali, Petter Northug and Ronaldo as sports people you rank highly. Who would have finished on the podium if you had ranked the best Swedish sports people of all time?
Zlatan: On that list I would have been No1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, with due respect to the others
DN: Björn Borg is No1 on the list and he has previously expressed his admiration for you and that he sees you as Sweden’s biggest star, “even bigger than IKEA”. How do you see Borg and his career?
“He is a cool person and a living legend.”
Dagens Nyheter’s top 10
1. Björn Borg, tennis
2. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, football
3. Jan-Ove Waldner, table tennis
4. Annika Sörenstam, golf
5. Ingemar Stenmark, alpine skiing
6. Carolina Klüft, heptathlete
7. Ingemar Johansson, boxing
8. Gunde Svan, cross-country skiing
9. Peter Forsberg, ice hockey
10. Gert Fredriksson, rowing
Also on the list ...
35. Tomas Brolin, football
Their biggest star is by far Stenmark. Most winning skier of all times. Still, to this day. Nobody bigger than him in that list. Just shows you what time does.
Zlatan is a piss-ant who won't be on top 5 in 50 years time.
BANNED.
I cant remember. I think I just disagreed with everyone about everything.
As per my life.
Not like you
This is Rafa's fault, no doubt, eh Neil?

My guess is, whatever he said, it ended with 'me'. Probably: 'I'm gutted, me'.
just updated the meta tags, probably won't make a great deal of difference tbh.. They where still stuck on xenforo standard though...
Thanks for the heads up..
No problem, if there's anything I can do to help let me know. It would break up the 9 hours of scm/reddit/wikipedia/shopping nicely...
You see, this is the problem with Modo though. People come in here, see half the story and jump to his defense. It you don't post much on here, then I'm guessing you miss the constant snide comments and him dragging down threads everyday with his nonsense. The amount of threads that descend into shite, with him at the centre of it, is unreal.
JJ is probably one of the more affable posters on here, he rarely gets riled, so if he's got upset with Modo then there's probably a good reason why.
This, from a poster with little or no personal history of crossing swords with Modo, nails it AFAIC.
Lots of luck trying to get a discussion going with the three people that'll leave you, cloggy.
Thirded!
We can giftwrap the ban. There, sorted.
Too bad he's gonna wither away in the Scottish league system.
Unless he leaves like Gauld did.
If I was Swedish I wouldn't publish that list of "all-time Swedish sports people". It's not much of a list is it?
Meanwhile in Madrid..
Althletico are looking to cancel the Torres loan deal, after finding he is indeed shite after his latest training session..

This cunt
has to be responsible for this abortion of a headline.
thats so bad it's funny, maybe that's what he was after
From the Guardian
Stoke’s Robert Huth investigated by FA over gender game on Twitter
The Football Association is investigating after Stoke defender Robert Huth appeared to respond to a Twitter account which posts sexual images of individuals and asks users to guess their gender.
The account invites users of the social media site to guess from cropped photographs of people in explicit poses whether those pictured have male or female genitalia.
A series of tweets posted from Huth’s official account shows the 30-year-old German apparently playing the game.
He has already received criticism from within the trans community and may face action from the FA, which it is understood is looking into the matter.
Stoke declined to comment when contacted by Press Association Sport on Friday.
In October the FA handed QPR defender Rio Ferdinand a three-match suspension, as well as a £25,000 fine, for comments he made on Twitter.
Ferdinand directed a jibe at a Twitter follower containing the word ’sket’, which is understood to be a slang term taken to mean a promiscuous girl or woman.
In its statement concerning the former England captain, the FA said Ferdinand’s comment had been ”abusive and/or indecent and/or insulting and/or improper” and an aggravated breach as it ”included a reference to gender”.
hahahaha - I'd love to be a fly on the wall when the FA Disciplinary Committee discusses transgender issues.
Maybe they'll send Huth on a transgender awareness course.
Maybe Brendan Rodgers could enlighten him.
This world is going to shit when people get outraged over this sort of crap.

For you and most other people, Twitter and Facebook is like a big party where you know everyone. If you get drunk and act like an idiot, it is all on you. For politicians and top level footballers social media is like the company intranet. If you post guess the gender game updates next to the quarterly report you will get punished, and rightly so. Footballers are idiots so this distinction is lost on them.
Why should footballers be in the category with politicians? Surely that shows how fucked up our consumption of football has become.
