I've never seen him play.

I know this sounds slack, but I don't really feel sad about it at all. He plays for a few seasons, then decides to quit to live the good life with women and money and fast cars.

why'd you say that Ed? why? you're my hero and you say something dirty like poop. poop mouth.

just kiddin'

from what i have seen he was amazing. when you consider that he was European Footballer of The Year at the age of 22 then you realise that he must have been pretty special. i think that it's tragic that such a skillful football player succumbed to alcoholism and died at such an early age in the way that he did. i just think that it's a very very sad for football and for the Best family and his close friends. i really feel for them all . . .

this is sad day for football

everyone I have talked to who has seen Best play says he was the greatest player ever to come out of the Britain

some of the stuff he did even surpassed Pele and Cruyff to be fair . . . it was such a shame that he retired at the age of 28 and that life treated him in such a way . . .

i'm disgusted that Liverpool and Leeds fans purposely spoilt George Best's one minute silence

that really is so wrong

it makes me mad <_< . . .

we did? Shame on us for not paying respect.

In the end it shouldn't matter what club he played for

and pip! haven't been around for a while

the problem is they aren't bad but they aren't good either

the only one that has potential if Felipe and there are so many better options Helguera (Madrid) Oddo (Lazio), Chivu (Roma), Barzagli, Grosso, Zaccardo (Palermo)

I also heard rumors of a Cassano-Vieri swap I'd do that in a heartbeat

Helguera = (N) He sucks bad. After Hierro and Makelele left, the whole defense has been poor. Helguera is alright, but far from good. I don't keep up with Serie A but I know Oddo and Chivu are good. The others I haven't head of

And Cris is good

Wigan 0-2 Spurs

Actually, just before I go to work!

The quality is rather shocking but it was all I could find for now.

Thanks a lot!

What a shot!

While players and fans remained in silence in Spain...

I watched a documentary of him back in the day. Sky sports re-aired the documentary, originally made as a tribute to his 50th birthday.

He was a great player, pity he decided to go after the booze and the birds though

Not to take anything away from Best as I'm sure he'd find it just as easy to replicate his dazzling runs nowadays, but to me, defenses didn't seem as organised back then

it was harder though back then. they didn't have the nice footballs which they had now. they used the big hevay leather ones which are much harder to hit, curl, control and do skills with (in fact in some cases the leather balls have been implicated in brain damage of ex-players who used to head it lots). also, there were much harder tackles and way fewer fouls . . .

i would say that now that it is more professional, there may be more organisation but that for creative players it was much harder in the olf days . . .

George Best would be awesome now. if he could do that then then think of what he'd be like now!! he'd be dribbling past everyone and scoring some lovely goals as well as winning a tonne of free kicks and stuff.

Wasn't Philippe Mexes suppose to be the new Blanc?

The guy is horrible, another red card (which is his third or fourth in not even two years) and he gave away a penalty shot

Ronaldinho won the Ballon d'Or here are the results:

1. Ronaldinho (FC Barcelona) 225 points

2. Frank Lampard (FC Chelsea) 148

3. Steven Gerrard (FC Liverpool) 142

4. Thierry Henry (Arsenal London) 41

5. Andrei Shevchenko (AC Milan) 33

6. Paolo Maldini (AC Milan) 23

7. Adriano (Inter Milan) 22

8. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Juventus) 21

9. Kaka (AC Milan) 19

10. Samuel Eto

True that. The equipment they use nowadays is much better. Did anyone watch the Brasil v France FIFA Centenary match? Zidane was sweating like a pig wearing the old "jerseys"

and about Georgie, don't forget the booze and the birds

That was probably one of the best 0-0 draws I've seen in my life. And that moment when Zidane was running back and received the ball on his chest and controlled it...that was How the hell do you do such a thing running back? It was amazing skill though

maybe it had something to do with Zidane's wet jersey

Inter sweet on Cassano

Tuesday 29 November, 2005

Inter have given their clearest indication yet that they want to sign Antonio Cassano in January. "I would welcome him with open arms," said Roberto Mancini.

The Cassano contract dispute rumbles on and with no sign of the player wanting to extend his contract, the Giallorossi are subsequently now keen to dispense with their enfant terrible.

Relations between club and player have improved slightly, however, with Cassano making a scoring return to the side against Strasbourg in the UEFA Cup on Thursday and playing against Fiorentina at the weekend.

But it seems that Roma have simply put the 24-year-old in the shop window in order to get some sort of return on their
