No I had my ears open - he actually said, "typical Germans, you can't dispute that they're like that". FA might have let him off the hook with those remarks if it was a domestic match - but I think he'll now be charged by UEFA. No need for that xenophobic nonsense especially on national TV.


Interview - http://www.itv.com/sport/football/news/championsleague/matchvideo/videosiralexfergusononmanutdschampionsleagueexit8677/default.html



Are you saying it's not typical of the Germans then Matthew? SAF said they got him sent off by running to the ref whilst observers at the match noticed that he had put his card back in his pocket once he realised he would have to send the player off.


As for it being xenophobic nonsense, he was saying what he thought about a particular type of behaviour. He could probably have included other nationalities too, but United were playing Germans.

The German team displayed comebackability and a resilience which dumped an English team out of the cup - this has happened many times before and is essentiallya compliment - there is nothing xenophobic about it.


He didn't accuse the German's of invading Poland or even stealing the beach towels before anyone else - sheesh

And of the 4 "English" teams not to make it to the semi finals that the media are holding a wake for this morning, how many English players represent them, along with an English manager??!!

Arsenal - 1 player (Walcott). Manager = French.

Chelsea - 2 players (Terry & Lampard - can't count Cole as he's hardly played this year). Manager = Italian.

Liverpool - 2 players (Gerrard & Carragher - don't think there are any more). Manager = Spanish.

Man U - 2 last night (Ferdinand & Rooney - suppose you could add Neville & Scholes to that so 4). Manager = Scottish.


So out of a possible 48 players and managers being from an English league, less than 20% of the staff are English. Probably not even bought with "English" money either!


I expect my figures above are wrong and stand to be corrected.

You also forgot Carrick for Man U. I'd also include players from the British Isles in general so you could add Fletcher, Gibson, Giggs. Man U do pretty well on this front but Arsenal's quota of British players is shocking.

Anyway, my point about the low amount of German players in Bayern team was because Fergie called Bayern typical Germans.

Why is it typical? On what basis do you agree with Ferguson. It infers that all Germans are conmen and that the British Isles is one of fair play.

Fergie's comments are a bit silly. He likes to lash out when he's beaten and I can't see it being any more than that. I can't defend the comments if they were meant in amy sort of jingoistic way. We were knocked out by two soft and easily preventable goals and some petulism from a young, inexperienced player. The way we played on the whole gave me heart as it's some of the best play I've seen from united this season. I just hope Rooney is fit for some of the run in.

As Quids suggested you were, maybe try fishing somewhere else?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
