Thread: Maradona: life is life 1989 (10 horas)

Come on H, here is the shorter version, so sing along to the greatest footballer the world has ever produced:

An absolute god in Naples.

An absolute god in football, really.

The man was born with a football at his feet.

Peter Reid couldn't get near him to clatter him

Cos he looked after the ball

And he was just too good

Best 10 hours you will ever spend this.



Sit the missus in another room, pull up 10 pints and watch this genius at work.

I've been sat here since Monday.

Maradona was untouchable, but I was there the night when he was. I was only 6 or 7, mind, but the memories never leave me.



They'd beaten us 2-0 in the Nou Camp.

United - well, the crowd as much as the team - annihilated them that night.

That was Old Trafford and Bryan Robson at its finest and Maradona didn't say boo to a goose.

United and Barca have had a few dos in our time...

Manchester United - Barcelona (3-0) - UEFA Cup Winners' Cup - 21/03/1984 | FC Barcelona Players

In short:

Listen to the crowd - and the speakers nearly exploding - when the 3rd went in.

When it was a proper working class game.

I'm having a beer now, but I've said it before and I'll say it again: the best player I've seen at United (and for England) was Bryan Robson.

Absolutely fucking unbelievable. He carried use through the 80s and deserved every single one of those titles he got in the 90s.

There's a reason Ron Atkinson called him Simply the Best.



My hero too, Becks.

You might have noticed that I'm a fan of Madonna.



"A beautiful affection with a football."

Drug enhanced cheat.

Nothing else.

All of Hal's heroes were junkies or piss heads

The cheating daygo, Bestie, Robbo, Morrisey, Steve Staunton

Christ, at some point you are going to look back on your life and spend 1/2 day working out how much of your life you wasted watch poofball and convert to Buddhism in the lame hope you'll get another chance at it.

I watch 9 minutes of that Eng game last night and that was 9 minutes wasted. Football is a waste of time these days, its fooking boring.

Now imagine being a Plastic Paddy and a Man United fan

^ its not all bad, he's the swiss Tony of the TEFLer recruiting world

Teaching underpriveleged naive children abroad is a lot like making love to one of Georgie Best's women

First you have to pay them to keep quiet

In fairness, it's all he's got to cling onto these days.

So you think getting on the showbiz smash before a game and necking ten pints a night is gonna actually enhance your game?



(As a failed Sunday league footballer, let me assure you it doesn't )

He was the best player in the world despite his problems; not because of them, you little In-ger-lund-er mong.

I'm not surprised a moaner fan supports such cheating tbh.

The cocktail of drugs he was caught taking are all illegal performance enhancers.

Dirty cheating dago. End of.

Still watching this legend.

For those of us who know class, he will forever be the best.

Not something most on this thread will be familiiar with, obviously.
