No complaints Sir Alex. United just starts slow. Eventually the wins will come and the rest will fall into place just as it has the last two seasons.

Excuses, excuses. Keep buying up talent, maybe that will fix the problem.

Hmmm. Remember all the flack from the press I received when I said something similar about Chelsea a few years ago?

No question that SAF is one of the great managers, but he does complain a great deal about things when Man U has rough moments. Perhaps it's a psychological move designed to buoy his squad, but it grows a bit tiresome.

England is small so traveling up and down the island shouldn't be a big deal.

Hey, we bought one guy in the window.

Look at Livahpool, how many people they buy for the last 17 years. No league titles since the inception of the premier league. I guess the scousers should stop buying Spaniards

That doesn't matter, its still a 3.5 hour train ride from Manchester to London. They played away in Glasgow on the Wednesday night, come home for a day then back on the train to London for a lunchtime kickoff. The schedulers don't use common sense, plus they let SKY walk all over them. That game should have been the late Sunday game, not Fullham/Newcastle.

Didn't seem to mind in the past few years when Chelsea and Arsenal were building up all those games at the end of the year......

Just go away Sir Smart Alec

Come on...this is funny! Since when has SAF ever, EVER admitted defeat on something!
He's a walking, talking excuse. If a result doesn't go his way - you do what anyone would do, you storm out on the field and berate the ref. It's always their fault anyways.

He's got the trophy case so he must be doing something right.....

"Fergie, Fergie shut your mouth!!!" now all we need is for some random person to run up and nutpunch him again.

RedDevil - I am not agruing that the trophy case backs up SAF's career. My point was when thing do not go his way, the blame is always external - a referee's fault, the opposing team's fault, etc. It is never that his players didn't bring their game that day.

Coming straight from the mouth of SAF...

???My overall view of the match is that Liverpool were the far better team,??? the United manager told MUTV (Manchester United TV).

???They tackled us, got about us and harassed us, forcing us to make mistakes, and we didn???t cope with that well. That was the source of our defeat.???

???Apart from Rio Ferdinand, we did not have one good performance on the pitch. We were out-thought.???

Drunk whiner.
