I remember there was some talk in the CL thread about a commentator calling Antonio Valencia one of the fastest players in the world and people (myself included) not believing it. Apparently it's true :stare:


(This test was done on star players, so that guy you know thats a sprinter and also sort of good at football doesnt count)

this must be over a pretty short distance as there is no loving way messi is that fast over anything more than 10 yards

Couldn't give a poo poo about the rest, but Gordon Strachan deserves respect as a manager in his own right. He had a poor spell at Boro after Celtic, but rather than being sacked and taking the payday he realised and knew he wasn't taking them where they needed to go and tore up his contract taking no compensation. This is the guy who got Southampton to a FA Cup Final and into the UEFA Cup. Southampton.

Gordon Strachan (Current Scotland Manager)
-FA Cup runner up with Southampton
-3 Scottish Premier League titles
-1 Scottish Cup win
-2 Scottish League Cup wins

Took over a piss poor Celtic team who were struggling against a solid and talented Rangers side and turned them around, with fantastic results in the Champions League including defeating Barcelona to make it to the last-16 twice.

Took over Scotland who were woeful under Craig Levein and has moved them all the way up to 22nd in the FIFA World Rankings. That's 47 places higher than they were when he took over.

Gordon Strachan is a legend and Ferguson also hates him which can only raise my opinion of him

Did I post about the training row between them? I cant remember. I was told Giggs didnt show up to a coaches meeting, and so one of the other coaches went to find him. Giggs was still in the training rooms and said something along the lines of "Its pointless us having these meetings when that stubborn oval office doesnt listen to a word we say."

Shocking ego from Giggs, undermining Moyes since day one. Its amazing the attitude he has and for someone who people regularly fellate based on his "personality" and "professionalism" im glad its shown the plastic cymraeg twat for the horrible scum he is

Taff what's up with Moyes falling out so hard with Neville and Woods, you'd think with him bringing them with him there'd have been some form of relationship there but now they seem to hate him as much as the United lot.

Phil Neville is like a traditional eton fag, he grew up giving hand jobs to Giggs, Scholes etc and its where his true loyalties lie

Re: van Gaal I just read this and it made me lol:

Piqué's grandfather was even a club director, and one day he invited Barcelona's coach Louis van Gaal to lunch. "This," he said, introducing the young Gerard, "is my grandson – a centre-back for Barcelona's youth team." Van Gaal looked at Piqué and, without warning, pushed him over. Towering above the 14- year-old, he barked: "You're too weak to be a Barcelona defender."

hes a proper mentalist like all dutch people
