Alex Fergusmoan
Alex Ferguson is a shit. Its amazing after 20 years he has still retained the inspiring ability to be completely one sided, and as biased as a lopsided triangle.
Following the (probably fair) 2-2 draw between Arsenal and Manchester United, the demented scotsman couldn’t contain a barage of filth and stupidity. Just take this:
“On our bench, we were getting terrible abuse from people two or three feet away from us. There is a lack of security. It is absolutely disgraceful the abuse you and your staff take. All sorts of things are being shouted and screamed at you and there is an absolute danger here.”
Two things stand out - obviously the united fans who sit behind the dugouts at Old Trafford are carefully vetted to make sure none of them in the heat of a football match would dare shout anything other than sanitised words of encouragement. No wait - there have been more arrests at Old Trafford in the last 12 months than any other premiership ground - which club has a safety issue again?
Perhaps more importantly, Ferguson obviously forgot all about his berating of the fourth official - at one point he was 2mm away from the poor chaps ear, and from the images it certainly looked like he wasn’t being polite. Does the fourth official not deserve the safety and protection from yobbery that Fergusmoan clearly craves? The majority of the insults centered around Furguson being an loudmouthed lunatic anyway. Pretty sure no manager who sits down and only gets up to shout at his players gets more than the odd comment.
Lets not forget, Fergus has form as well - (taken from BBC Sport 2005)
Ferguson reacted angrily to Rennie’s decision not to punish Andy O’Brien for bringing down Ryan Giggs on the edge of the Newcastle area. The United manager kicked a ball away in disgust and remonstrated with fourth official Winter on the sidelines before being dismissed by Rennie. Winter was then subjected to a sustained four-letter tirade from the Scot.
Do to others as you would have done unto you.
