Because Prememe is the best league nowadays, a lot more people are reminiscing about the 2000s Prememe like it was also the best league in the world at the time, when it was like the 3rd or 4th, and ranking overrated faggots like Henry as a top player.
It's like how people talk about Beckham nowadays as if he wasn't only considered decent because he played for England which only had 2 guys at world level. Crazy stuff.
