You don't want to spend 30 minutes of a 1 hour episode hearing about Bskyb's potential takeover of United, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was really looking forward to this series the PL in 90s was ace, but without exaggeration 90% of the whole thing has been United focused. What did you expect? A decade of Premier League football where they won all but two years was never going to be about Oldham, Reading, Swindon and Barnsley  or any other club we'd almost forgotten played in that league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touched on Blackburn, Keith Gillespie's gambling, Merson, Wenger and that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted September 30, 2021 Moderators Share Posted September 30, 2021 Here's the problem with modern football, throughout my life, Barca have been a great club, always worth watching.

Barca are a great club but for the last 8 or so years have been ran by mercenaries. They’ve contributed to the crippling effects of the smaller clubs and are still trying to break away. As soon as Ferran Soriano & Txiki Begiristain left the writing was on the wall. If you were one of the best managers in the world at a club with the best ever club side with arguably the greatest player of all time would you walk if all was good behind the scenes? FWIW Ronaldo Ronaldinho Xavi Puyol Iniesta & Messi are some of the greatest I’ve ever seen and they made you want to watch Spanish football but it’s been coming for a long time. If Wonga were still about Barca would have used them to buy a player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
