    Probably best for both parties.

    United should have let him go as he wanted in the summer.

    They were keeping an unhappy player.

    I'd be fuming if I was a United fan.

    He has damaged his legacy at United and his reputation generally has suffered from this.

    Lets hope he goes to City <laugh>

    Could be a good thing for league if both them and Liverpool come away from American ownership.

    Liverpool fans seeing the very rich Arab drive straight past Anfield after hearing United is for sale.

    Why the **** did the FA wait until November to ban Ronaldo for lapping a phone out of a young fans hand in April?

    The thing I love about that, other than the quality of the goal, is the ref running back applauding it.

    One of the lads off our board told a story he played in a match against him when he finished his professional career, he walked on the pitch with a *** in hand and only put it out when the ref blew to kick off the game <laugh>

    Great documentary about Bobby Robson on ITV4, focusing a lot on his time at Barca. And Jose as his assistant.

    Watching this it's incredible. He had Mourinho as Asst Mgr and Guardiola as his captain. Both of them talking about him. Then fat Ronaldo talking about him.

    They talk about this one QF against Atletico when they came out in the 2nd half 3-0 down, the whole of noucamp screaming for him to be sacked, he makes the changes and they win 5-4.

    Jose saying he has that game on VHS at home. Pep says that's the moment he knew he wanted to become a manager. Ronaldo just singing Robson's praises.

    It goes back and forth between his start at Ipswich then Barca. Inbetween the England job.

    What he did at Barca was incredible tbh. In one season.

    Fergie, Linekar, Shearer been on. Just moving on to Newcastle now. Pep just said he sent Robson a letter saying he wanted to come to Newcastle to play for him.

    He should have been the second manager to win the World Cup

    And one of the idiots who messed up the Penalty Shootout is now our England manager
