    Sky Sports 7pm - Documentary on how Sir Alex, the greatest manager the world has ever seen, and before he became a Sir, decimated the old firm in Scotland including winning two European Cups inside 6 months at Aberdeen. Up your arse Jock Stein.

    He's not even the greatest Manchester United manager and not even close to either Brian Clough or Shankly.

    Didn’t live through Clough but from what I’ve read he was the very best at his peak.

    I think it's best you switch back to the Eurovision song contest mate.

    Hopefully you'll catch Ru Paul singing 'My Way'.

    I rated all three managers, but Clough was my favourite, probably closely followed by Shankly, merely because Fergie came later and it will be a generation thing for me. Although I expect a lot of Clough's success was down to Peter Taylor, not the fake 'keep one up' Peter Taylor, that worked with the England team, that prick should never be allowed near any team.

    For me, the line "Lads, it's Tottenham" makes Fergie the best ever on its own.

    Clough was the best IMHO...what he did with Derby and then Forest was unreal. Just a shame for him that the fa were too stupid to make him England manager.

    Spoilt his reputation throughout the 90s with his Hillsborough bollocks though.

    SAF by far and away the best Prem manager ever

    Yeah it looks nice, feel a bit silly now after all my trips to Newcastle killing time before/after a match and all I had to do was jump on the Metro and head out to the coast though not something a bunch of lads would want to do, I might be lucky to get an August game in and I'll certainly head out there again.

    The stewards didn’t let me in on my ‘kids for a quid’ under-16 ticket at Hillsborough when I was 17 so hope they get battered.

    They’re the most appealing away day in this northern cesspit of a division.

    Horrific day, back when they'd happily show you people on fire live on TV in the afternoon.

    Try the other way. If you take the South Tyneside line that'll take you through to South Shields. That's a lovely coast with nice restaurants and plenty to do <ok>
