Well RD - I was still at work, but the reports suggest he played well - he came on in the second half.




I notice thoough that Fortune has not scored yet, so I hope he is not a mistake. After all just because you can score in the English Premiership does not mean you can make the grade for the Bhoys...

Once.


You comfy on that fence Keef?

In April, Fergie said this, "What he [Rafa] said about Everton being a small club just points to his arrogance. They are a big club."


But now 3 months later Fergie feels it's okay saying this about Man City, "They are a small club, with a small mentality."

He has done a an entertaining interview in the Observer - http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/jul/26/sir-alex-ferguson-manchester-united-interview


Here is an extract: -


Ferguson claims Ben?tez, whom many Premier League managers consider aloof, is obsessed with him rather than the other way round. "I have never said a word about him. The only time I responded was when he made that gesture with Sam Allardyce [the crossing of the hands to suggest that Liverpool's game with Blackburn was won the moment they went two goals up].


"There was no doubt he was doing that. Liverpool were too quick to come out and respond that he was signalling they should take a free-kick a different way. That was bollocks. Absolute bollocks."

Scouse paranoia Anna? What you and Matt never seem to understand (or willfully ignore to suit your own agenda ;-)) about football, football managers and even (shock horror) football fans is they say what suits them at the time.


Fergie says what ever's on his mind at the time. The Allerdyce, Benitez thing was an attempt to wind up Rafa to put pressure on Liverpool, a compliment, backhanded maybe but a compliment none the less. Fergie was worried and maybe he's worried by City, I know I am. Look at what he used to say about Wenger when Arsenal were a threat and look how nice he is to him at the moment when they have struggled to perform in the last few seasons. As I said, don't take it personally take it as a compliment. AS for beyond the pale? Hitting a bloke in the face three times and calling it self defence is beyond the pale, calling your closest (geographical) rivals and the team that's nicked a decent player off you small and arrogant is not, it's brinksmanship.

Good old Fergie, back with a bang on the mind games. I don't think Citeh under Hughes will be the force everybody expects them to be because Hughes isn't a particualry good manager/coach, and his track record isn't that great. Citeh seem to be throwing money all over the place in an attempt at usurping the big boys but I'm not conviced that's the answer nor am I convinced that the squad will gel. We'll see.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
