Love Roy Keane.


Best manager you ever played for. Brian Clough, without a doubt.


Best MU team, based on players you played with. No Scoles and no Giggs. On Giggs, "just because you have a great career doesnt mean you are a great player". Ronaldo gets the left wing spot. Ince gets the midfield spot alongside Keano.


Greatest moment at Man United. Being invited to play for the club.

Dear Mick,


I am not sure if you are aware but there is a whole thread called Football Focus on the EDF for say discussing,mmm, Manchester United's decline, or, ummmm, Roy Keane's autobiography...this stops spamming up the forum,


Let me know if you want any help on how to use the forum in the future


Best wishes

????

"Dear" Quids.


The Football Focus thread is a poor and disjointed manner in which to discuss any football related topic such that any matter is never discussed with any cohesion, before disappearing amongst all of the other mish mash of comments


If I/we want to ringfence a particular football issue then we should and if it does not have legs it will quickly die. I expect the Man United issue to have longevity of interest although I obviously don't expect the same from the Roy Keane thread.


Whilst the lounge is an inactive as it is currently, I'll continue. That's what the Lounge is there for.


Mick


PS: I know I am dear to you - but we have moved on from addressing each other in letter format posts on this forum a few years back.


PPS. FECK OFF ;-)

Agree with Keanes sentiments above. Giggs' greatness came from longevity rather than being the best player. Both Sharpe and Kanchelskis had better periods than Giggs ever did, but obviously depends what your best team means. As a long term manager Giggs as good as it gets performing at the top for so long. But for one season if i could have a player on their top form sharpe/kanchelskis and ince would def be in instead of giggs and scholes. 'Best' manager not so clear as think Fergie did what clough did for longer. Fergies ruthlessness unlikely to make him a players favourite but from a clubs point of view no one will ever be better.

Just finished reading SAF's autobiography and I do think he manages a more balanced outlook on many things than Keane does. That wisdom comes with age though none of us will be perfect however old we get. I did find it amusing that he said Beckham was the only player he ever came across who could never admit to having made a mistake (in a game). Even after showing him the video of what he meant Beckham couldn't see it.


I also agree that Giggs was not the greatest but his longevity is amazing. When I saw him score his first goal against Spurs (I think) I was hoping for a new Georgie Best as it was a great goal. He was never that though.


I really liked Kanchelskis and can only guess he moved for money. Sharpe too was good but perhaps lacking the dedication of some of the others in that era.

Ger off my thread.


I did say one of his finest hours. But you don't get called the Guvnor (even if he chose the name himself the press ran with it) without bossing a fair few games so he would have had a few.


Keane said some people forget how good Ince was, when putting him in in front of Scholes.

Watched at and was erring toward giving RK some benefit of any doubt until he was asked about the Haaland assault and if he'd do anything different? - "No."


Whether it ended Haaland's career or not that was an occasion he could and should have reflected on. OK to go head to head with someone but that was something completely other.

    • Hi if anyone has one pm me cheers 
    • You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.
    • I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?
    • Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
