He’s paid to score goals, and he’s definitely the best in the business at that, so therefore world-class..

And if his defending in the derby is anything to go by, he could soon be a world-class defender. A latter-day John Charles.

There has definitely been a great improvement in his all-round game this season.

You can’t compare people in different positions. Messi was an attacking midfielder, Henri a winger turned inside forward. Haaland is the best centre forward in the world. Challenging legends like Shearer and Gerd Muller. Is he a better player than Cruyff…..no chance. But Cruyff wasn’t any good as a centre forward.

Football has always been cyclic. The Ferguson era is long gone, just like the Revie era at Leeds, Clough at Forest, Mercer and Allison, Shankly and Paisley. Their fans rant on and on about their history but have no awareness of their own history apart from the days of Busby and Ferguson. They can’t move forward till they accept this reality.

They sadly never will ............they need to give someone a decent time frame to get it right but there fanbase wont allow it ...........and one club who should know all about this is them considering how bad United where for Fergies few seasons ............had there fanbase got there wish then they would have gone on to dominate English football.

Still why do i care let the chaos continue another messiah in over the next weeks and the cycle remains :)

Apart from Busby and Ferguson, only one other rag manager has lifted the title and that was in 1907.

And they can't accept it , as their old players are all pundits reliving the past and swamping the media ....stuck in a vortex .

As funny as that sounds, our U21s lost to Lincoln City last season 5-0 and recently lost 3-0 to Bolton Wanderers. One of the Bolton goals was scored by John McAtee, big brother of James.

It's a useful competition for the U21 squads but doesn't mean much overall. It's not like Lincoln City are on the same level as, say, Grimsby Town.

I try to avoid working trains that way when they play each other.

To say they don't like each other is an understatement.

Absolutely, the last 15 years have been amazing watching City just at the same time as they are crumbling, but if as The Doors sang, this is the end, then it's been a hell of a ride to see things I thought we'd never see
 
How many of them will face hudud for stealing a living if this goes ahead?

Isn’t that what I said in my first paragraph?
