Always liked him.

Used to be funny as F like when he was laughably classed as a ‘hard man’, when he could neither take it back nor face you straight up, always having to be a snide s/house . (He’d have absolutely **** himself up against a Robson or a Souness.). But he was a lot better player than he was given credit for and a proper leader. The self sacrifice in the semi in Turin for example was the finest example of that. He single-handedly put the disappointment of missing the final behind him to drag Utd though regardless that night.

Like his straightforward, don’t give two ***** honesty off the pitch too.

My dad could beat your dad in fistfight.
 
Haha. True though.

Why Robson remains the best Utd player and leader in my lifetime IMHO. Complete, all round midfielder and a proper hard man who could take it as well as give it. Just injured too much down to sacrificing his body too much.

Every player is of their era. Keane was a great in his sides. Scholes, Gerrard similar. But nobody at either club comes close to Robson and Souness in the midfield and leadership stakes from the 80's on for me.
 
Great just seen City dropped to points in the league after conceding late. From our on loan winger Kirsty Hanson. That’s a huge result in us getting CL. Also a win tomorrow and we go top of the league. Great to see the club backing Skinner and with some absolute quality
 
And this is another example of why AWB won’t have a future at the club. Other than that it’s been a good well contested match.

Arsenal fully deserved win. EtH tried to close the game too early, and Wan Bissaka was out of depth most of the game. Two goals on him. Antony looking worse and worse with each game.

AWB had a classic AWB game. He pocketed Martinelli for most of the game and was flawless in 1v1 situations but he did nothing going forward and kept Nketiah onside for the winning goal.

As for Antony, he’s all bark and no bite. He does all the tricks but offers no end product. I hope that improves or rather Sancho gets back in time and take up that right wing spot (Rashford has that left spot nailed down)
 
Yeah Arsenal the better team but great match to watch. Think ETH got the team selection slightly wrong conceding too much in CM. Doesn’t help AWB being **** at everything defensive wise except last ditch tackles.
