Interesting words from Gullit, and I think I am inclined to agree with him.
Shearer seems to think its all about him and not the team he plays for, maybe its just as well he snubbed man utd.

[Atomic22]

hmmm i wonder if gullit won any trophys?
naaaah prolly not

[BBKing]

What as, a manager or a player?


Googling gets me:
3 x Dutch Championship : 1983-1984, 1985-1986, 1986-1987
1 x Dutch Cup : 1983-84
3 x Serie A Championship : 1987-1988, 1991-1992, 1992-1993
1 x Italian Cup : 1993-94
2 x European Cup : 1988-1989, 1989-1990
2 x European Super Cup : 1989, 1990
2 x Intercontinental Cup : 1989, 1990
1 x FA Cup : 1996-1997
1 x European Championship : 1988
1 x European Footballer of the Year : 1987
2 x World Soccer Player of the Year : 1987, 1989

As a manager:
Dutchman Ruud Gullit became the first overseas coach to win the FA Cup, with Chelsea
in 1997

I have to put that cos we've managed to avoid them so far, now where have I put my lucky black cat and rabbits foot

[Kneebs]

Don't get me started on Shearer - couldn't agree with Gullit any more if ya paid me...Oh, that derby against us was fantastic...

And just to bring things more up to date, the semi finals here we come.......I can't wait for tomorrow afternoon to see who we get

Debs, we are the black cats !!!! Personally, I hope we get tranmere / millwall, or you lot in the semi's - we'll easily take the Arsenal in the final

[Marge]

So you'll have no difficulty knocking the Gooners out in the semis for us then

Sunderland v United final, like the sound of that

[gazzae]

Bring on Arsenal thats what I say! If you want to be the best you have to beat the best!

Nah....I'd much rather see you's play Arsenal in the semi's, and us play Tranmere in the semi's for revenge - it was them who we played a few years back, and they had a player sent off for a second bookable offence, whom they then decided they'd substitute, and still had 11 players on the field - unbelievable....

I'd rather have you's in the final than Arsenal, anyday .....We just gotta wait till tomorrow afternoon for the draw now - why aint it after the last match on a sunday anymore ?

FA Cup Semi - Final Draw

Yes, it will make for a geat day out, whoever makes it to the final.
And even better if Man Utd stuff Arsenal

Sorry , I had to add that last bit.

[gazzae]

yes, the chance to beat the gooners two times in a week!

She wore, she wore, she wore a scarlet ribbon,
She wore a scarlet ribbon in the merry month of may,
And when, I asked, her why she wore that ribbon,
She said it's for United, and we're going to Wembley.
Wembley, Wembley,
We're the famous Man United and we're going to Wembley.


HHHMMMM it just doesn't have the same ring when you replace Wembley with Millennium Stadium.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
