I've been thinking about who their worst, thickest ex player cum pundit or owner or manager is from the Ferguson generation. There is a ton of competition (Beckham, The Neville brothers, Owen, Giggs, Keane, Scholes, Fletcher, Hargreaves, Hughes, Bruce etc) but I honestly think this embarrassing creature takes the prize.

I mean he's wrong about literally EVERYTHING in football, connected to Man United or not. And he gets away with it very gently, because he should be considered a laughing stock). First of all there's the whole Ole at the wheel knee jerkery. Then there's me laughing at how deluded he was when he said 'job done' when United got a 0-0 draw in Seville under Jose - no away goal and unsurprisingly it cost them at the Theatre of Delusions. Then there is him predicting 10 wins in a row using the expert analysis of teams not being that good on paper, before this thoroughly mediocre mid-table run they're on since Ralf came in, where they've been outplayed by everyone and results wise have drawn with Villa and Newcastle and lost to Wolves. Then there's his defending of Ashley at Newcastle, because he had a business interest, showing him up as an amoral hypocrite. But most of all, is his constant arse-licking of that Portuguese freak like he's some sycophantic little schoolgirl with a crush on a member of Westlife (Ronaldo seems to have this effect on lots of supposedly grown men, they're definitely wrong uns). As if his arse licking isn't bad enough he A) thinks Ronaldo was gonna turn Man U into the best team in Europe rather than take them from a 2/10 team to a 1/10 as has transpired (and isn't getting enough mockery for his smugness when Ronaldo signed for them in August given what a failure Ronaldo and the team have been) and B) he genuinely believes Ronaldo is the greatest player of all time. I know the pathetic glorified poacher is considered one of the best players ever (unfortunately), but anyone who genuinely believes he's the best player in FOOTBALL HISTORY is certifiable and without clue. The likes of Pele, Maradona, Messi, Cruyff, Brazilian Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Garrincha, Di Stefano, Michael Laudrup, Baggio, Beckenbauer, Zico, Zidane, Platini were much more talented than some repulsive Jersey Shore reject whose dribbling and passing are absolutely mediocre and whose biggest success came post 2014 when he was was past his prime and hanging around the box waiting for his hard working team mates to serve penalties, tap ins and headers on a silver platter for him. Yes he was a great player in his prime, but better than some of the names above and the greatest ever in the 150 year history of this sport we all love? I'd expect that sort of opinion from some clueless 12 year old from the USA or Timbuktu who has Ronaldo posters on his wall, or morons on Redcafe who are in love with the ****, not an ex pro who is getting paid to hopefully not spout complete bollocks. The **** can't seem to get past the fact that Ronaldo is his mate and an ex colleague.

So yeah, Ferdinand is wrong about all his predictions and a complete troglodyte. I think he's the worst personally. I can't stand to see his repulsive face on my screen and never listen to him.

I’m surprised Soccer Saturday haven’t snapped him up tbh...He would fit right in alongside Merson & co.

The state of football punditry in the British Isles is so repugnant that Sky Monday Night Football and BT Sport are considered 'highbrow' when compared to an abomination of a show like Soccer Saturday.
 
I am also pretty sure this Rio arse-licker selected Ronaldo over Lewandowski in the number 9 position in his European team of 2021

I seen that thread too, read through it. Some of them are still in the denial phase, others have reached acceptance. The former think they are in transition for the 123885th time and that somehow this time it will be different. I mean Rome showed progress, they didn't build a monument, then tear it down, and rebuild an even shitter one in its place, as far as I am aware. Taking one step forward and two steps back.

More intelligent, clued up posters in that thread are saying they're finished for the foreseeable future and it will be decades before they become a dominant force again, if ever, but generally some of them genuinely believe all it takes is a new manager like Ten Haag, a couple of better centre mids and some time and patience and they'll be up there with you. They seriously live in la la land, and if they think a couple of genuinely talented midfielders to replace McFred are going to transform their entire team dynamic and way of playing, they're even more deluded than I thought. I don't wanna give them any ideas but they have to rip up their entire ethos as a club which prides itself on 'fast counter attacking football', and bring themselves into the modern era where pressing and possession are king. Stopping saying that Pep plays boring football would be a start - you can't even begin to emulate something if you don't respect it first. Of course, by the time they manage to become a possession team it will be 2030 and counter attacking will be the dominant style again anyway, lol, so they're fucked either way.
