Now that Messi and Mbappe are at the top of the tree, it means that unfortunately Marcus Rashford has to drop down to being only "the third best player in the world"

But can look forward to being the best paid player at the rags - in order to fend off interest from PSG - allegedly .

I thought ten Bob said he was equal to M'bappe ?
He is in my eyes anyway.

Come on Burnley, I have high hopes for them tonight.

I think you're forgetting Sancho, not surprised though, so have the rag's.
Why on earth would he sign away his career just to sit on the bench at the swamp ?

I'm just putting this here, what you inglorious bastards do with it is on your head

I don't "respect" SAF, despite what this report says. I acknowledge that he was successful in terms of reults, but respect has to be earned by displaying respect for others, such as opponents, referees and media in his case - something he clearly did not do. Sneering bullies who show contempt for others aren't "respected".
"Respected" is the wrong word, I maintain.
Am I being a curmudgeon?

With you on that one. Respect the achievements but not the man. An inveterate bully and woe betide if you got on his bad side.

Personally, I cannot accept that he was a good manager. My dislike of the man is so entrenched within me that I will not see beyond the execrable tyrant that he was, and how his foul-mouthed threats to the officials and the media personnel put them above the rules. Immense sums of money, favouritism and/or threats towards anyone not a part of his inner-circle made them successful, not his footballing nous.

For these reasons alone I will never respect to him.
