Where have I mentioned Barcelona? This is about managers and their merits.
Well what has Guardiola achieved without Barcelona?
My left testicle could manage Barcelona, my instructions would be- Give the ball to Messi.

Do you remember the era well Biggus?
Do you prefer the football played then or now? It must have been strange seeing United being average and not getting favour from refs.
I was a bit young in the Shankly era Tony, but I remember the Paisley one very well.
The game was very different then, more chess than fencing, although it was more physical I can't remember any more really dangerous leg breaking tackles than nowadays, perhaps because the game was played at a slower pace and you had time to react and get to fuck out of the way.
Utd were shit then and a joke, we used to beat them all the time, they even got relegated as did Spurs- Golden days.......😆

If Wenger made himself available on the job market it would be the biggest story about a football manager this millennium. Same goes for Fergie of course, but there's zero chance of that. Maybe 25% it'll happen in Wenger's case.
Regrettably you're probably right Burnsy.
Wenger has stamped his mark everywhere on our club, it doesn't matter how lamentable our results get he's inveigled himself so deep into the structure he's become synonymous with it.
For many supporters like the slumbering subjugated citizens of a totalitarian regime, they're simply not aware that there is an alternative.
For the rest of us we're condemned to a kind of Sisyphean hades which won't end until Wenger retires, dies, or the club changes ownership.
