Messi I can’t look passed him , Ronaldino is close in terms of skill and entertainment. We have been lucky I guess this last 20yrs of whom have been in the game .

Messi is the best player to have ever kicked a ball, but Ronaldinho, Zidane and the OG Ronaldo will always be my favourites. They each had their own character on the pitch - Zidane's insouciance, Ronaldo's force of nature and Ronaldinho's joyful playfulness

Incidentally, Ronaldinho will be making his comeback this Sunday!

if Pochettino described himself as being in tears on leaving the USMNT job what's he going to be like when he starts the Man U job?

Utd have just released a photo of the candidates for the job........

You say "can't". Challenge accepted! 😉

Ironically, Ole might become a title winning manager when the City punishment is announced.

Away from the Man Utd merry go round, this is worth a read about the ever present Nigel Clough:

It seems mad to me that a club that's 129 years old has a longest serving manager that's only been there six years. It's also absolutely insane that Arteta's seven years coming up next month are the longest in the 92 clubs - he's about seventh or eight longest serving in Arsenal's history. It's definitely a problem that managers aren't given time to build a project

Of course he can. The only one he can't do worse than is Tommy Docherty, under whom they were relegated.

And Scott Duncan (knowledge gleaned from a pub quiz last week, which nobody got).

Thought you’d gone nuts when you said Arteta has been there that long. I thought it was only about 3 seasons, couldn’t believe he’s been there since 2019!
