Haven't read the book but caught a bit on the Beeb's site, which is fucking ridiculous given his relationship with the BBC, but the gist was lots of great players including the likes of Beckham but only those four mentioned 'rose about that level' or words to that effect. Schmeichel was undoubtedly world class though. Probably one of the top two or three goalkeepers of all time.

Five eighths of what?

Jaap Stam too. Probably the most complete centre-half I've seen. Not that Ferguson would admit it.

The mention of Robson reminds of that time him and Mourinho had that argument during a match on the touchline. Think it was when Robson was manager of West Brom. What struck at the time was that if all the TV cameras and so on weren't there he'd have shit his pants. Bryan Robson would've killed him without breaking sweat.

Aye

I was going to put that but thought I bet someone else does if I put the Giant one

5' 6" Giant

Just another day in the life of the Boldon James Dean.

Knock-knock Who's there? Sutton Sutton Who? You can have that one for your next meeting, CT

There was a clause whereby they had to pay more if he played for them and they were fucked financially so didn't. Point still stands though.

There's some great boxing docs on The Wiffle channel. No idea what a fucking wiffle is like. He's basically taken docs like HBO's Legendary Nights and taken out a few boring bits so they're mostly in nice, short 15-20 minute chunks.

Where's all that optimism gone?

Another bizarre and short-lived hobby

I can barely remember a time when I didn't think the club needed a centre-half (i,e, at least one). Seems like we've been crying out for one for fucking years.

Doubt it measures up to Special Brew

McClaren seems like a nice bloke and loads of people who have worked with rate him highly as a coach but the main issue I have with him is that he hasn't got a very good track record as a manager. I'm not advocating his sacking btw

Think I replied along the lines of "I genuinely have no idea who Neil is" which made him fly into an even bigger rage

Class though, tbf

Shut that shit off

Great news, Stevie.

Amateurs tbh. Ted Heath would've used a dead kid.

Got a pm off HTL once where he was being alreet so I responded in kind. Then he mentioned something about an argument he was having with Neil on N-O. I didn't know who he was on about (still haven't got a fucking scoobie tbh) so ended my reply with 'Who's Neil btw?' HTL went fucking ape shit telling me to "get help" as well as a few other things as he was adamant I was taking the piss. Fucking tapped tbh

Prefers killing people with his bare hands.

@@StraightEdgeWizard Just read your good news. Congrats.

Can't believe he's still bitter about getting banned from here. How long's it been now? As his old mucker HTL was fond of saying: get help.
