Fergie is the best manager of all time alongside Rinus Michels for me. No matter how much I love Wenger it would have been hard to say he was above Fergie.

Also, look into how much Inter spent in order to win the CL. Might change your perception of Jose's triumph there. Especially given the absolutely horrendous football he played.

Fergie is the best, but as I say if you'd asked me back 6-7 years ago I'd have said Wenger. Partly out of my hate for Fergie back then, which has somewhat subsided, but also because I honestly thought Wenger had done more, all things considered. Now though I can't help but take off my hat to ferguson.

Hmm, how much did he spend? I mean bearing in mind they sold Ibra for 46 mil and went on to win the CL without him, their best player. I only really remember them bringing in Muntari...Eto'o was obviously part of the Ibra deal and it was great business. Poor football...well, it was an Italian side after all. It was definitely better football and more deserved than Di Matteo's win with Chelsea IMO.

I mean, people go on about squad disharmony and whatever, but look at the side Benitez inherited and how badly he did with Inter. He's still a good manager with transfers aside, but he couldn't get anywhere near Mourinho. If the players turned against him well, it just shows how well Mourinho did to get them on side in the first place. Like playing Eto'o on the wing etc.

He played Eto'o at right back some times

Serious?

School me on Rinus Michels, I was talking about him before and total football on another forum. That's where I got on to the Mourinho/Wenger thing.

Anyone watching Villa? Come at us

I can't say I am able to "school" you, but he was just a revolutionary. Light years ahead of everyone else.

And I would like Benteke at Arsenal. He's like an improved version of Giroud in basically every area, and has a better mentality.

Really?

Still, be better than Bosingwa.

Yeah, was hoping Villa would lose (no offense) so that you would turn wigan over on the last day...Now i'm thinking 3 points for them

Na it's all good bro, I can take the bants tbh.

Wigan will probably be all but down then anyway. Win today and I can see our strikers tearing them a new one. Also it depends how this cup final goes as well. If they win I don't think they'll have much left.

You're a Newcastle fan right?
