    I forgot about that West Ham thing someone mentioned until he said parade of legends there. Hopefully not as embarrassing as West Hams, wheeling out Carlton Cole etc as legends :56:

    Fergie was best known for his man management skills, his tactics, and delegating to the right staff members. He relied on Kidd for a long time, then Quiroz, McLaren for a while, and so on. It's perfectly reasonable to criticise some of his signings but it doesn't make much sense when you consider the results he garnered with that group of players. He arguably * up Stam, Beckham, Keane and Van Nistelrooy, as well, but you won't hear people talking about that much either. The point is he won them titles and that is all that matters in the end. It's not his fault they're in this predicament, quite the opposite.

    Is it how long can we take to sing a song :56:

    Loathsome *..

    Most exciting league in the world as usual. Spurs passing it around to death and the Scourers predictably running amok earlier. Who'd of predicted that zzzzzz..

    His failure to replace star players and leave them with a poor squad with hasbeens and younger guys who werent very good is how they've went on to struggle recently though. Because everyone knew they needed world class players they've been ripped off and paid over the odds.

    You can also argue that they wouldn't have those hundreds of millions to throw around if it wasn't for him. The fact remains he left them as champions, what happened afterwards is Moyes fault as well as others in charge since (upstairs too).

    Harry Kane is ridiculously greedy. A real weakness in his game for me, he only ever sees the shot.

    A quality others might say is the mark of a top striker.

    Not when he's ignoring team mates in far better positions than him to shoot from anywhere.

    He's the second highest goalscorer in the EPL with 22 goals. I just wonder how many of those goals were the result of his 'greediness'.
