look back at his formative years, and who was his mentor, a certain Brian Clough and then onto Fergie. Says it all really

It’s unedifying to watch, but he speaks the truth. Alex Ferguson was a very successful manager for us, but that’s the top and bottom of it. He isn’t above criticism and we know that he was a nepotistic bully. As for Roy Keane, well, he’s a maniac, always was, always will be.

Just :drool:, watching them both play on the same pitch.

United were on fire that day with Giggs and Cantona being on top form, and the Robson & Keane pairing dominating the engine room. Keane put on a typical barnstorming B2B performance, which he topped off with a cracking opener from outside the box.

Robson played a relatively more reserved role - his passing was uncharacteristically a tad bit off at times, but it was an excellent all round performance, with United absolutely bossing the midfield.

If Robbo was five years younger

Robson what a player. Is there anything he can't do?

Keane all over the place there, beast of a player. The sight of him charging forward with the ball is just :drool:

Commentary reminds me of when we used to get Saturday 3pm kick-offs live in the 90s on RTE.

Just heard the rumour than Keano could be next manager of Celtic - that would be fun (especially if Slippy hasn't moved on to Liverpool yet!)

Just on the topic of Keane the manager, has he ever spoken about the type of football he'd want his teams to play?

Just before his Forest debut Clough said to Keane “you can control the ball, you can pass the ball and you can run. Just go out and do those 3 things”. That simplicity is what Keane did so well all his career and it amazes me how many professional football aren’t able to do these basics (see Lukaku for control, Fred for passing and Martial for running)

If they want box office they will go Keane. If they are serious about rebuilding Celtic, then they would go for someone else.

Hilarious :lol: the top comment to that as well is brilliant.

Keane is right though, just because you're an international, doesn't mean you're a great player.

Classic Keane. Managing to slate most of the league effortlessly.

Not sure why Redknapp was so invested there.

I can't imagine him worrying too much about tactics.

Work hard, show PASHUN and the result will take care of itself.

I dont get why Redknapp was getting so worked up and invested in Spurs.

Is it because he wants to say the players are so good, but Jose is so bad? Only thing I can think of.

Things were never this bad under his dad.
