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...

    • Niko 07818 607 583 has been doing jobs for us for several years, he is reliable, always there for us, highly recommended! 
    • I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.
    • There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.
    • They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
