Right - forgetting the bent bidding process and the conditions of the migrant workers building the stadiums - does anybody else agree that a Nov/Dec competition has the potential to be ace?

 

Firstly because it will take up most of the traditional Christmas bullshit season so we'll all be talking about football and not festivities. Secondly just for the novelty factor. And thirdly because we can see whether or not our well worn excuse about our players being tired stands up to scrutiny.

Bale and Modric for Spurs

Bale scored a belter in a night match against us at the Reebok.

As did Modric.

Two of the best ever goals against us. Although every goal against us is shit.

I saw Maradona at Wembley in 1980. No one can argue that he was world class. I’ve also seen George Best in his pomp. This may upset some people but Best was better. Don’t shoot the messenger. 

If you ever want to wind up a united fan tell em George Best was a poor man's Frankie Worthington.

Ronaldo! I’m almost sure Kane has played there, maybe wrong though. 

Kane's played against us but we were away at Millwall.

How dare you! Maradona best ever for me. Didn’t George Best play in a legends match at Wembley before we played Torquay? 

Maybe. Saw him play for both United and Fulham. Was at the semi against Leeds in 69 at Burnden with some of my mates who were reds. Also met him at his club, Oscars, in Manc. 
His book, Blessed, is the best autobiography I’ve read.

I could have been a Red. I’m not. 😊

Kieran Trippier

I'd be surprised if Nick Pope isn't another.

And Aaron Ramsdale.

Jackson Irvine (Australia) for Hull. I will take any hipster prize from the top shelf, please. 

And managers, as player or manager?

Robert Sanchez, Spain's back up keeper

Played for Rochdale against us in 2019-20

Well, he didn't play against us at the Reebok. But played against us at Spotland

Martinez, obviously

I can imagine we've faced Aliou Cisse when he was at Birmingham and Rob Page at Watford also

Possibly Rigobert Song at Cameroon?

He looks weird, & should wear less make up whilst playing.
