Bit of fun.
What's the best football team, and player, you've ever seen in the flesh?
I was lucky enough to bag a corporate invite for the Man United v Barcelona CL Final at Wembley (2010?). That Barcelona team were on another level to anything I've ever seen. There seemed to be a telepathy between them. Their speed of movement, use of the ball was like watching a perfectly oiled machine.
And whilst Messi was the cream that night, as daft as it sounds its hard to say his performance was the best I've ever seen. They were all so good, it was hard to differentiate him. The best individual performance I've ever seen was from Paul Scholes. An absolute genius with a ball. Dirty little cunt though.

I can only base my impressions of top flight teams when City were in the Prem. The usual were impressive...Henry, Beckham, Zola etc but I was dead impressed with Les Ferdinand. Never thought much of him but in the flesh he is the one stand out player I remember.

First time was 1983 for Barcelona v Man U at Old Trafford, they were two up from the first leg but Man U managed to scare them in to a 3-0 defeat to go through. He had a quiet game though. Saw him at USA 94 too, when he was coke fuelled to the max, he was great though, carried an average team.

Fuck Bergkamp. Fuck Maradona. Les Fucking Ferdinand. Always rated Ferdinand right back to his QPR days as one of the finest headers of a ball around. He wasn't quite as good as Bergkamp or Maradona though.

Best player, Gazza when we played Tottenham at White Hart Lane in the league cup. The lad was different class.

Sasa curcic and kinkladze were the best one man displays I've ever seen against us

Saw Barcelona at the Nou Camp in 2011 against Athleico Madrid - won 5-0, Messi got 3 and looked possessed. Should have been about 17-0. I remember it absolutely started hammering down in the second half and thousands of fans fled into the concourses as most of the ground has no cover. I refused to move as I'd paid £75 for that seat.
I remember we flew back a few days later and we lost 3-1 at Crawley after taking the lead and wondered why the fuck people bother.

I also remember a forward for Wrexham way back when doing the same just before he moved to a bigger club and faded into obscurity. It's all relative and I suppose when you follow a team that generally plumbs the depths of the football league you're not going to see that many genuine quality players, just ones that look quality vs your shithouses.
