Fergies less than gracious post match comments.

i keep giving a graph

What graph? Did I miss a graph? Nobody told me there would be graphs.

Your point? Are you really that daft grum?

Why dont you explain it to us? after all you have a strong ally.

I would like to announce that I have just been admonished by the mods about my use of the work ‘sc3m’, I will now refer to them as ‘melon farmers’ 😉

I’ve also just had a post deleted!!!! 😡

I am not obviously allowed to go on the offensive.

Yet more evidence of authority being on the side of the melon farmers…

I’m actually a nice guy, I just can’t stand the melon farmers.

Your point? Are you really that daft grum? What were you saying about suckers earlier??

Wow so you got me with some kind of masterful Alex Ferguson style ‘mind game’? Or was it just more of the low-quality trolling we’ve come to expect from you?

I think it was Kenny Dalgleish who said – “Show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser”

And as a Scot, he should know 🙂

Is this the graph?

Is this the internet equivalent of having a little doggy following me around and humping my leg?

“He’s got it through!…SERGIO…AGUEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGH! AGUEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!HAS WON THE TITLE FOR MANCHESTER CITY!”

Interesting how most of the press have edited this bit out of Fergies post match comments.
…why do people pander to him?

The thread was started to point out that Fergie was debatably ungracious in defeat but mainly how heavily edited his comments were essentially snipping out the bit that makes him look like a bad looser. That, I thought, was worth a discussion.

I heard all the comments the OP quoted on Sky and have read them in full in the sports pages of both newspapers I’ve looked at today. The OP also (obviously) heard the full quote somewhere, so I’m not really convinced of the argument that the press have pandered to Fergie and selectively quoted him to make him look better.

from a Palace fan, so no bias either way.

Fergie to Villa?

I occasionally think, during conversations with ostensibly adult males, that my lack of attention to Premiership football puts me at a disadvantage. Reading the previous stupidity has reassured me that I have no need to worry.

I’d still be a bit concerned, that level of sanctimony must a sign of some shortcoming.

Just back from towm. 🙂

Can’t imagine that bus gets much use 😆

Tevez wins.

Tevez wins.

As a Man Utd fan I’m shocked, insulted and wounded by that picture. That’s quite unbelievable.

Good job you’re probably from London or somewhere then; seeing it first hand might have made you cry 😀

That sign was in reference to the Untitled manager when asked if City would ever overtake the Untitled and win the Premier League replied in his usual arrogant way “Not in my lifetime” so not quite what it seems but I would like to say that was a properly crap sign and I would prefer it if Mancini got rid of Carlos Tevez.

RIP Fergie. That deserves a faceplant. Only he could have picked up that placard from a fan without knowing its meaning.

Oh contraire, I’m sure he knew exactly what it meant. No Need Mr Tevez, no need.

Well he’ll be more sellable now after his return so ManC won’t lose out too much.

Can’t believe Scholes has resigned- he’ll be 38 next season!

resigned

For any ManU fans getting worried out there, this word is missing a very important hyphen. 8)

Carlos Tevez really is spectacularly dim

I saw that sign first hand and Tevez definitely knew it was a bit much as he kept it hidden and only waved it briefly as he went passed us. The rest of the city players kept a good distance from it.

It is a reference to the not in my life time comment as is the song city fans sing about having a party with jelly and ice cream when Ferguson dies! A bit much maybe given he is in his 70s.

Does Tevez remind anyone else of the Feral Kid from Mad Max 2..?

I though the RIP meant as in you will never win the league again in a bit poor taste but no point making a meal of it. If you cannot get a little carried away at a title celebration then frankly when can you.
Tevez is a bit of a one though, great player but a poor person,a bit like Ferguson

Yeah, come on JY, let’s have some different ones.

City fans worshipping Tevez now are they? Hmmm. Nice.

There has been a fair few classless things coming from that end of town since the ‘new money’ arrived. Say what u want about United, but the money has mostly been earned – gate receipts/big sponsorships/tv money mostly because of success, history of the club and the world wide name. They’ve never got to the stage where they have bought players wholsesale to stop other teams from having them, which Chelsea and City have. Chelsea is relevant cos people predicted United’s demise back then too. Both City and Chelsea would most likely not be in the top flight/solvent without a sugar daddy.

United did well this year with what they had, an achievement to finish level on points against all that quality. At least we didn’t finish with less points than our neighbours or 36 points off the pace. Loddick?

As for Fegies comments being ungracious – its been what Mancini has been saying all year himself!!

Just to remind the Blue half of Manchester what you were singing about Mr Tevez a few seasons ago

Always makes me laugh. Oh…. I wouldn’t advise playing this if you’re sat in the office

Most City fans dislike Tevez immensely although accept that a solution was required to end the mess he created.

Whilst selling him in January was the preferred option it didn’t happen and therefore it was a choice of effectively terminating his contract allowing him to rock up anywhere and commend any wages he could get with no compensation for City (a poor option) or bring him back with a view to sell him in the summer (another poor option). It is a best of two bad options approach and city fans accept the clubs decision – fingers crossed he is sold this summer and never play in England again.

Little story from last year. I was in a hotel lobby in London and City were staying there. Mancini and a few of his fellow Italians were chatting and Mancini signing the odd autograph/photo. He seems a nice guy to be fair. This middle aged lady then goes over and asks for a photo, Mancini obliges with a smile. As she walks back towards her husband, clearly audible to everyone, she says to her husband “oh my god, who was that?”. Que eye roll from Mancini and lots of banter /piss taking from his mates.

Again: ‘it’s not fair they’ve got more money and we deserved our money and we nearly won and anyway thought you didn’t like Tevez and Liverpool are crap’ 😆

Have a watch of this, it might help.

Football really does seem to bring out the worst in people
I do find it odd tham more people are pleased Man u lost it that the fact City won it.

Still wait 20 years and if they keep spending I am sur eyou will have switched hatred, jealousy. loyalty who knows what you call it to City or in lodders wildest dreams Liverpool probably with Sir bob Paisley at the helm

City winning it one day was inevitable and what a cracking end to a cracking season.

Replace the words “Man U” with “England”, and you’ve just described how the rest of the world (or at least our home nations neighbours) feel about the international team too. And they’re not even successful!

I’ve always had a soft spot for city, been to watch them a couple of times with my best mate from school who is a big city fan. They were always such a joke of a club to support really so it’s nice to see them do well.

The money they have is ridiculous but football has been a joke wrt money for years so why not.

You give plenty of shit about Liverpool JY, not sure why you get upset about people taking the piss out of Man U. It’s inevitable people are going to enjoy seeing the team that have dominated for years get knocked off their perch by their local rivals. There is a lot of bitterness now coming from some Man U fans basically saying city didn’t deserve it or they cheated by having so much money.

It’s true that Ferguson did a great job nearly competing with that spending power, but a lot of the comments are pretty churlish.

Bit uncalled for really.

Man City vs Newcastle cost of team £122 million
Swansea vs Man U cost of team £120 million

It really is silly saying City bought the league.
Carroll £35m
Torres £50m
Aguero £38m
Some transfers work out better than others…

Bit uncalled for really.

+1, those comments do nothing to elevate the impression that outsiders have of football and the scum really should refrain from saying nasty things about Liverpool.

+1 the rags are always giving the bin dippers grief!

I’ve even seen people lose the run of themselves over a racism issue just because of the teams involved.

Anyway, my disgruntlement has always been more about Ferguson than ManUre.
