sir alex slammed the AA grumpy column

[pantoandy]

hello well here i am again like flies round a cows arse im always there
normally i dont do football columns to me its 22 puffs kicking a bag of wind round a field but you know what they say a change is as good as a rest


RAFA BENITEZ yesterday launched an astonishing Kevin Keegan-style rant against Alex Ferguson.

The Liverpool boss viciously went for his Manchester United counterpart, questioning his conduct and integrity in a pre-planned assault.

Benitez pulled no punches as he gave Fergie the worst mauling of his 23-year United career.

The Spaniard condemned Fergie’s treatment of match officials, especially comments he made about ref Martin Atkinson and refs’ chief Keith Hackett. And he also blasted Ferguson for moaning about the fixtures schedule.

The Kop boss raged: “We had a meeting about the Respect campaign. I was very clear, ‘Forget the campaign’ because Mr Ferguson was killing the referees, killing Mr Atkinson, killing Mr Hackett
"How can you talk about the Respect campaign, then criticise the ref every week?

"At Old Trafford the United staff always go man-to-man with the refs, especially at half-time when they walk close to the refs
"You can see how they put refs under pressure.

“Now he is complaining that everybody is against United. But the second half of the season they are at home against all the teams at the top, it’s a fantastic advantage.”

Keegan’s infamous ‘I’d love it’ outburst against Fergie came when the then-Newcastle boss cracked in 1996.

its time that this old scottish fool stepped down as united,s manager
if you link back to the story in the sun you will see sir alex arguing and threateningly gesturing at the referee.
in a time when football is trying to restore its non violent image acts like this are bringing the game in to disrepute and sir alex should be summoned to the F.A headquarters to be dealt with.
if this was a jockey there would be no qualms about the abusive jockey being hauled before the jockey club and brought to book with a threat of suspension or withdrawal of their licence hanging over them.
personally sir alex is such a powerfull figure in the football world that F.A is exactly what will happen untill ferguson goes to far and strikes an official which is what will come next.
ferguson needs to be repremanded or sacked as this is not acceptable behaviour otherwise if he continues to get away with behaving like this he will just continue to do so as normal behaviour untill an official makes a complaint to the F.A
after all ITS ONLY A GAME !!!!!

I thought this was a fun story.

I'm a big Villa fan, (GO ON YOU LIONS) but I respect Alex Fergusson as a fantastic manager of course, but even Utd fans know he is the king of mind games so its no surprise that other managers have occasional rants at him as he gets to them pretty easily. I also have no problem with Raffa Benitez, he is just trying to beat Alex at his own game, thats his Job as Liverpool manager. I'm sure Mr Fergusson will have something to say in response.

This kind of stuff is what makes football brilliant, long may it continue! Sure weren't Martin O'Neill and Wenger squaring up to each other like a pair of eejits in Villa Park the other week, its school yard, but its entertaining!

All the managers (including my own) whinge, and moan and b*tch, its part of the game nowadays.

By the way


VILLA 2 West Brom 1

Come on your villians, what we want is a Chelsea/United Draw now, third place! Lovely!

I think hate is a strong word Oscar, sure Utd annoy me as well but I don't really hate them or Alex, he's just good at what he does. He hasn't actually killed anyone you know! Is it the scottish thing or just a general Man U thing?

No.... I hate him.. Loathe the sight of the man... He's a tosser.

I love Man Utd..... brilliant team but Fergason is an idiot. He is not good at what he does.... he's past it.
Man Utd could be far greater without him.

Fabio's the man
