Ferguson has a ounce of decency and respect for football. Which is why Man U (as much as I hate to say it) have been lovely to watch over the years.

 

if ferguson had left manyoo and tried his luck elsewhere after winning the CL the first time, and things didn't quite go his way, i'm quite confident he'd become a total and utter disgrace with the press and his comments like

 

he's in such an untouchable smug rut at manyoo he doesn't need to get excited about shit anymore

If he left, what about him would you miss?

 

I wouldn't miss any football manager, that's not the point. What would you miss about Alex Ferguson - his whiney face or his intimidation of referees? Doesn't stop him being brilliant.

 

I'd miss the football his teams produce.

 

Same with Wenger.

 

There's nothing about Mourinho I'd miss at all.

Fair enough, I personally quite like him. Against Barca he couldn't win - the only possible approach is the one he took. His reaction after was stupid though, obviously.

Eh?  Mourinho's Chelsea played some pretty brilliant football.

 

Not going to get into an argument about Mourinho as it has been done to death.. but the guy is a managerial genius.  I'd miss that.

Then why couldn't he get them to a Champions League Final?

 

Bearing in mind he has won twice with different clubs, I suspect he isn't that fussed.  What a ridiculous argument.

By that logic he might as well just retire then, there's no point in him carrying on.

Do a search on youtube for Pepe Dani Alves and press the first one. Pepe doesn't even touch Alves, yet Alves had to be stretched off? Feigning c***.

 

Absolutely, I initially thought there was minimal contact but that youtube video (can I link it, it's a Frech football show with replay?) shows that there was absolutely no contact coz Alves withdrew his leg. Might still be classified as dangerous coz the foot was raised but no way is that a red card. The way Alves then rolls around holding his shin and knee makes it clear as ever that Barcelona was not just diving and cheating but were looking to get Madrid players sent off.

 

And we have some donkey (hint: has an avatar of an ex world player of the year now more commonly known as fatty) saying that the 'tackle' was worse than De Jong's leg breaker on HBA!  :lol:

 

Give over alpal78 honestly. Calling people donkey and stuff.

 

Looking at the images from the tackle, it really does look like Pepe doesn't touch him at all. But fuck me, those images are either manipulating or Alves is a very good actor, and since we all know he's a bad diver Pepe must have touched him.

 

Also, most non-Newcastle fans think de Jong tackle was a normal tackle and Ben Arfa was unlucky. In my opinion both deserved red cards, remember Ronaldinho on Danny Mills? Doubt many of you were complaining when he was rolling around like (was red card, but that bald guy still overacted). There's diving everywhere and players always try to get other players sent off. In the end its all about winning and whatever helps one to do it will be done. I'm not for diving/cheating, but I can say that if that would benefit  my team in an important game, hell yes would I do it. There's no moral in a game against your archrivals and I doubt many here would be complaining if Barton or Nolan dived and got us a penalty to beat Sunderland 1-0 away to them in the last minute. It's part of the game whether you like it or not. And until FIFA/UEFA starts banning it, it will still be here.

 

Real did the same a week and a half ago in Valencia against Barcelona also btw :pow:

:lol: What a completely illogical line of reasoning.
