It was a two way thing with Pep and Johan, admiration for each other in spades. Pep himself saying Cruyff was responsible for how he's shaped his footballing philosophy.

Like all the FOC's in here I was lucky enough to see Cruyff playing for the Netherlands in major tournaments, one of the greatest players I've ever seen.

The 1974 World Cup in West Germany was the first tournament I remember. (A couple of years back I went to Munich and had the pleasure of seeing the Olympic Stadium with the 'spiders web roof', I think my daughter got bored of me telling her how iconic the stadium was)
That Dutch team was some team wasn't it with Cruyff, Neeskens, Rep, Krol etc..(just noticed they had a de jong in the squad, related to our mate Nigel maybe,? though he had a slightly different way of playing didn't he!)
The Dutch team of 4 years later in Argentina who also lost in the final wasn't bad either, great kit too (Preston fans probably didn't like it though).
The above sides were great to watch, much like a certain current Premier league team, though ofcourse that doesn't count as everyone knows (without actually really knowing anything about it) that we are cheats!!!

the hilarious thing about this post is why they think their respect matters, why in the name of god would anyone care about getting the respect of a man who spits at children and the respect of the press, neither of them matter a single iota and the ego of them to think they do is nothing short of hilarious
 
On one hand we could do with this being sorted, but on the other, l know that if we are cleared , all we will get are numpties saying we bribed them.

I made the mistake of putting Talksport on....Scouser meltdown is hilarious...all the leagues Klopp would have won if City hadn't cheated.

I've got it on too... 115 115 blah blah blah

But what I notice most is that somebody has definitely warned off Jordan. He's playing the financial stuff down and some might even say he's defending us. He even said 'don't forget Liverpool failed FFP'.... I almost fell off my chair

Without reading the whole piece, I actually think Kay's view in the tweet is not unreasonable for a non-City fan.

The players and the manager are undisputedly fantastic and the best ever. The accountants might have broken some rules to get an "unfair" advantage.

I feel like we should make an effort to seperate what are reasonable takes from a rival fan who has no reason to believe Soriano or Khaldoon when they say it's all bollocks and we'll be cleared, and obviously shite takes from the likes of Harris, Carragher etc.

Yep, brilliant football, I remember the Brazil team of 1970 and as replica kits weren't really a thing then you can imagine the excitement of an 11 year old Opening a Christmas gift of a Brazil shirt and shirts with generic white socks. My mum had spent one Saturday afternoon searching across Manchester to buy the three separate items I was the envy of our football sessions at School.

Great International teams, absolutely iconic, such a shame the Netherlands (or Holland as they were more commonly known) couldn't win the World Cup.

Did the Munich Stadium tour, ax you say, iconic and they still host concerts and events there, I think it was €3 to get in, well worth it.

Something that surprised me was a small pathway named "Lillian Board Way", she was a 400 metre runner who won a silver medal for Britain in the 1968 Olympics in Mexico, she died in Munich in 1970 at a very early age, so sad but brilliant the Germans have made this kind of tribute.

If anyone is visiting Munich the Olympic park has a few attractions including a tower that houses a rock museum! The BMW showroom is also close by, it's got Beamers, Mini's and Rolls Royce Cars plus concept vehicles and a restaurant, really great day out in that area.

I wonder if they will change their opinion if/when we're cleared. That for me will determine whether or not their takes are reasonable or not.

When you say 'Carragher.. being accused of a serious criminal offence, rushing into Court to try to clear (himself)' did you have in mind, say, his being charged with something like, let me see, oh yes, Common Assault for spitting at another person? Now then, that would be an interesting scenario for this Maestro of the Journalistic Pen to pontificate upon in his columns..

What a complete and utter wazzock he is..

Yes I'm seem to remember Sky suspended him until the end of the season so they could assess the situation. Imagine if Sky had taken carraghers advice and made a decision within days ( without hanging over his head) then the **** wouldn't be on tv.
