I cant agree with that. George Best had a longer career than many people think.
To not include him in a legends team is wrong.
I watched him from when he first moved over from Ireland. Cruyff was very good but doesnt get near Best.He had everything, balance, left foot right foot, heading, speed and best of all, dribbling ability. And remember, all that on heavy muddy pitches and leather balls.
You don’t to agree that’s why it’s an opinion they’re all different. Best was a legend my Dads all time favourite. I can see how good he was but imo others did and achieved more in world football and for me that’s why he misses out on a spot.

Its a shame Best didn't achieve much with Northern Ireland.
However he was instrumental in Manchester Uniteds European Cup win in the sixties.

It’s hard to compare especially in a team environment but that Man Utd team was outstanding

Cruyff did that 3 times on the bounce for Ajax as well as winning the old European Footballer of the year 3 times in 4 years

A lot of times when these sort of discussions happen Cruyff gets forgotten about a little

Probably should have won a World Cup too . The Dutch team in 74 was outstanding ( Germans wasn’t bad either)

Best player I ever saw live and I have seen messi, Ronaldo and Cruyff
 
Makes a change for Newcastle to get a late goal.

Players are lacking in confidence at the moment...too many touches trying to be "sure"...need to get back to the crisp onectouch fast football but i guess thats easier said than done.

Some pegs in the wrong holes tonight but great for Wissa to grab a goal on his first start.

At times though Fulham carved their way through with too much ease in those early stages of the first half and the old bloke next to me was going apoplectic at times.

Elanga seems terrified to use his pace and the crowd are getting right on his back and that wint help him at all.

Hope the Livramento injury isnt too bad.

Man C in the semis will be tough...especially with the 2nd leg being away from home.

Just some ramblings as i enjoy a final beer before going to bed...nice hotel but i wont be booking one on the quayside again...too bloody steep a hill to get up (and down) to the city center.
 
The year Leicester won it the standard was poor and they only managed 81 points. Arsenal even with some poor results/loads of injuries are on course to get 85.

Would love Villa to win it but can't see it, they look a good side in top form but will probably be 15+ behind the Champions in May.

I agree with this.

In answer to the other questions - I wont ever say we are because we're just not in a race. Were in a top 4 race and that's it. Champions will be one of two teams - City or Arsenal.

Hope we can do City a favour and beat Arsenal again away but its unlikely!

A very honest non rose tinted glasses opinion. However I think Villa have done very well v City and Arsenal and deserved there results. Keep on the tails of City and Arsenal and it will make it very interesting. Forest very nearly did it last season. 👍
