Lets set the record straight, I was simply saying that Paisley did it in shorter time span, I just don't get the talking up of everything Ferguson related. Great track record obvioulsy.Clear enough?

When people talk about Fergie having fallen short in European achievements, it's worth noting that no manager has won the Champions Leagure more than twice, and, comparing him to say Guardiola, it's arguably more impressive that Fergie won it twice with the same club but with two completely different teams, both of which he effectively built himself.

Scotch Bob has to play something like 9 games to win each of his Yuropean cups - I would suggest that Scotch Alex had a far greater task ahead of him with his Yuropean cup runs. But hey, as a neutral, what do I know.


I expect a snorting passive aggressive reply, using Liverpule Logic to dismiss this observation.


please dont disappoint me.

What Titch said.


Sir Alex Ferguson - has no equal. His record speaks for itself. I cannot see his achievements ever being matched. He is quite simply the best football manager ever.


He won 49 trophies as a manager


St. Mirren:


1 Scottish First division championship 1977


Aberdeen:


3 Scottish Premier division Championship- 1980,1984,1985

4 Scottish FA Cup Winners- 1982, 1983, 1984, 1986

1 Scottish League cup Winner- 1986

1 UEFA Cup winners' cup Winner- 1983

1 UEFA Super cup- 1983


Manchester United:


13 English Premier League Winners- 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013

5 FA Cup Winners- 1990, 1994, 1996, 1999, 2004

4 League Cup Winners- 1992, 2006, 2009, 2010

10 FA Community Shield Winners- 1990, 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011

2 UEFA Champions League Winners- 1999, 2008

1 UEFA Cup winners' cup Winner- 1991

1 UEFA Super Cup Winner- 1991

1 Intercontinental Cup Winner- 1999

1 FIFA Club World cup Winner- 2008


For some reason no one seems to remember the 1980 Scottish Dryburgh Cup win against St Mirren that makes it 50!

And let's be honest, everyone is hoping they go all Liverpool on us aren't we.

Every year that their bleating about greatness becomes a little more past, will make us a little bit happier and make them seem a little more tragic.


No offence RD ;-)


Of course West Ham won the world cup you know.......

"And let's be honest, everyone is hoping they go all Liverpool on us aren't we."


Difficult to see it happening in the short term. Man U have been far and away the most secure of the 'Big Four'(never outside the top three in the history of the Premier League). In fact, Liverpool are the exception (so far) of a club who seem to have fallen out of the Big Four.


Top four finishes in last 10 seasons:


Man U - 10


Arsenal - 10


Chelsea - 9


Liverpool - 5 - none since 08/09.

I can easily see Man Utd suffering for several seasons, and not all of it the new manager's fault


Chelsea are an aberration just because of the sheer wealth and ruthlessness of Abramovich (and a core of talented if petulant, unlikable players established years ago)


But Man Utd and Arsenal are consistent top 4 managers simply because of the way two extremely talented managers "owned" their respective clubs. I've been saying for a long time that both Arsenal and Man Utd will suffer when their respective managers leave and I stand by that


Man Utd aren't going to tumble down the table - they do still have a lot of talent on the books. But they will lose games they wouldn't have before

Moyes will have pressure like he hasn't experienced before

SAF will be around the place and his comments will haunt the new man


So, like the Tories with Major they will be relatively successful for a while but they won't be what they were, and trouble behind the scenes will be their undoing


or something...

Yeah, they probably won't go liverpool, but I doubt anyone can achieve that consistent domination even with a talented squad.

So whilst they'll probabloy remain top four for many years I doubt they'll be winning every other premiership any more.


Perhaps the phrase I was looking for is 'go all arsenal on us' ;)

hehheh


With our new stadium deal and new kit deal and SAF gone, Arsenal are ALL about the future baby!


more seriously, this column expresses my feelings towards the game these days


http://arseblog.com/2013/05/nos-colocamos-isso-em-babelfish-para-fazer-um-titulo/

Could be wishful thinking but it's possible there could be a similar scenario as when Sir Matt Busby first stood down. Mind you David Moyes is no Wilf McGuiness or Frank O'Farrell, he is a top manager and for me a perfect fit but there could be a little slip down the table like Liverpool in recent years.

You heard it first here folks...

Irons top ten.


QPR, Swansea, Wigan, Norwich & Reading to fight the drop.


Swansea apart, not a bad shout.

A good shout. Chippy Minton predicted Utd, City, Chelsea and Arsenal in that order. He's banned from next season's prediction league...

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
