Arrogant Tosser- not you obviously

[Jah Lush]

Yeah, well done Leeds. Just seeing Ferguson's face at the end was worth the entrance fee but I fully expect Spurs to turn 'em over in the 4th round.

[Bluerevolution]

Hope Spuds do- we demand revenge !

[Sandperson]

I don't know which coverage you were watching BR but Fergie spoke to the reporter on ITV after the game.

Leeds were very good today and we deserved to lose. It's one of those games which Leeds are going to be up for no matter what division they are in so it's no suprise they should pull out a win. It's also a great chance for you and Matt to trot out the same old crap, abuse and insults so that's nice. All I can say is we can now concentrate on the league and the European Cup like Liverpool....oh, hang on...;-)

He didn't speak directly after the game- he spoke later

[matthew123]

Really SP I've been very complimentaty about Manchester United in recent times, if it wasn't for that old United scarf I'd not have had anything to light the fire with on Christmas Day.... brrrrrr :))

[Sandperson]

So that's where it went!

[Bluerevolution]

Lol Matt ! SP- the crap we spout? Oh, is it a case of not liking being on the losing side and things not going Fungiscums way? He argued that 5mins ET wasn't enough and then refused to talk to reporters DIRECTLY after the game- ITV cut short there programming because of this (3mins 40 sec) And you lot call us Bitter Blues ! PMSL, Leeds well done

[Keef]

Man U lose, and first response is a shot at Liverpool. What a shocker.

[Sandperson]

Well done Leeds indeed. I don't mind losing to a better side on the day we've lost to City a few times in the last few years, sometimes heavily, and I have no problem with that. I don't like losing but it's par for the course. I just don't understand the name calling of the manager and balls about previous victories. I've seen a picture of you. You like like a gentleman of a certain age, don't you think you are a bit old for all that?

[Sandperson]

Oh, here we go. Sanctimonious Keef gets in on the act...;-)

I thought you weren't interested in football any more.

[Bluerevolution]

I'm waiting for Sandperson to report me on the "Noisy Neighbours" Thread Lol >:D

[????]

Er, I think you've misread Keef and included SPs comments, unless i'm mistaken or Ferguson said something else.....Once again I find myself reluctantly sticking up for Man U/Ferguson in the face of a load of crap....plenty of mangers don't speak to the media immediately after a defeat (even Zola) Wegner does it frequently...wish you'd all f*ckin grow up....I actually dislike Liverpool more than I used to now as a result of the EDF

yup, I'm pissed off with losing to Arse

[Sandperson]

They did say that he went off to speak to the team. Fair enough to go and have a bit of tea cup throwing before you speak to the press.

[Bluerevolution]

Oh come on, ITV were taking the piss throughout- comments like "So how much time will be added if Utd are still a goal behind?"

Studio team at the end said Oh well, he doesn't want to talk to us- Sorry Sandperson-nothing personal truly, but I think the shine and love for Man U is wearing thin from the media, Ferguson HAS been a fantastic manager but something is going wrong, debts are building, squad is not playing and injuries are building.

I'm not saying its because of the money plowed into City, turns my stomach tbh, but the media ARE Glory hunters- they can make or break a team (media backing=better sponsorship/TV exposure.

Yes, I'm laughing at todays result but as a life long Blue (41 yrs) my laughter won't last long

[jimmy two times]

People have always got it in for Fergie but he is and has been an absolutely fantastic manager. As for Wemger, I love the fact that he promotes good football but he is a very sour loser. He was full of praise for West Ham today only because they lost. I have NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER heard him praise a team that Arsenal have lost to !!

[Sandperson]

I can't count the amount of times in the last two decades when I've heard that we are in crisis. I don't buy it but I guess we'll see. Even a trophyless season, whilst not being ideal, is not a disaster. We have long term sponsorship deals in place and a well balanced (when all fit) playing staff, with a good mix of youth and experience. I'm losing patience with Berbatov and Anderson but I think there's a lot of quality there and we'll be ok. One loss to a lower division side in the FA Cup doesn't make a crisis. We're in the title hunt, we qualified easily for Europe and we should be getting a few players back from injury. Let's see how we are in May.

As for ITV or other channels losing their love, that's just laughable. It works both ways. United will have brought in a big audience for the game today and their Champions League games. Audiences bring in advertising revenue. I would have thought that the suits at ITV were cursing their luck that United went out at such an early stage with the state of advertising revenue at the moment.

[jimmy two times]

Wellbeck has never impressed me and he's had a lot of chances. Berbartov and Keane have not been the same since they were seperated. With regards to United's form you, cannot lose the best player in the world and not be effected by it. Also they are missing all their defence. They will improve once Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra and Oshea are back. Anyway...I'm a Spurs fan and I truly believe we'll win the cup this year !

[Bluerevolution]

People have it in for Ferguson because he is arrogant-his obvious "Should've headed" to Rooney and his obvious "Oh F*CK OFF" to the fourth who said ONLY 5mins added sums this up- maybe that is good trait for management, can't argue he has had major success but he has also been one of the longest continuous managers and unlike modern management, he was given 5 years to actually acheive something- but to refuse to give an impromptu end of game tv interview doesn't do him any favours. He refuses to speak to BBC anymore cos he was asked the question "Where did your tactics go wrong?" several tears ago.

I feel he is sweating.

[jimmy two times]

I think him not speaking to the BBC is something to do with that tosser Alan Green. I don't blame him if it is. Green should be sacked for generally being a bluenose wanker.

[Sandperson]

Well, I think that's a crazy conclusion but fair enough. Have you ever seen the interview with him after Aberdeen won the Scottish cup? Slagging his players etc. He's impetuous, sometimes arrogant, petulant and many other things but he knows how to play the game and he knows what he's doing, so long live the purple faced, drunkard.
