Sir Alex Ferguson Thread

[Manuf 1,448]

The one thing I don't think Roman is, is stupid. He's made a brave decision (and it is brave because he knows how the fans feel about Benitez) to do what he thinks is best for the club until the end of the season.

Answer this one question - did you feel more hopeful for this game against Man City knowing Benitez was in charge, or knowing Di Matteo was in charge?

tbh my feeling about this game hasn't changed a tiny bit because I always believe we can outperform any team in the world.

Did you read the whole thing or just picked some parts?

I've read your contribution to this thread as well as you telling our new manager to fuck off.

Personally, I'm trying to be positive about the team I love.

The CL is not in our hands anymore. We need other team to change our situation, nothing Benitez can fix. I wouldn't say our form in the league was "that" bad. We fucked few games, but we could handle the situation until January. We always go through bad period in November/December and Robbie was the only manager fired for that. And I'm not saying he should get a whole season, as I know that football clubs are also investments now, but 2 weeks until the CWC or some time after January window wouldn't change our situation so dramatically.

But what makes you so sure? i thought at the beginning of the season we won't go through this slump, but i've been proved wrong. And nothing in the past few games, especially the way we have been defending, makes me think we could have turned it around soon.

I am pretty sure Roman decided to act even more stupid this time and acted disgracefully to the legend.

Sure, but he did it with the best interests of the team at mind. It sucks because i really liked RDM, even more so when he stopped playing Ramires on the wings, but this is football, results is all that matter.

That is extremely low standard. So all Rafa has to do is not fuck up?

Yeah it is, but that's just my opinion. Maybe they expect more from him like top 3, fa cup and cwc.

Well I want to add that most of brave actions are as matter of fact actually stupid when you look at them. And I did not said that Roman is stupid; I said that he acted even more stupid this time. I would be gald if you didn't put words in my mouth.

To the question itself. I really didn't think about it and I can't answer that question truly; sacking Di Matteo was something I didn't expect and it came - literally - out of nothing.

here's what Mourinho said about Lamps after working with him for only 1 year: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/137300/Chelsea-4-Blackburn-2.html

Everybody tries to stay positive but the discussion was about Fergie's words who happened to be true this one time. Robbie deserved to go to Japan for that trophy. That's it. The board could have waited another 2 weeks. There are only 5 matches between today and the CWC. Four of them being Fulham, West Ham, Sunderland and FC Nordsjaelland which I think we would have won with Robbie.

do you really think that appointing Benitez will change how our defence makes mistakes every now and then?

Yes actually. That's the one thing i have confidence in with him. He has always been known to value defensive organization, plus the fact his Liverpool side never conceded many goals.

We on the other hand, have conceded something like 20 in the past 10 games

I would attribute that horrific to individual errors of our players, but oh well.

21 acutally

And we also play too open at times. It's mostly down to individual errors though like you said, and some people will need to be benched *cough, cough*

[Milan 17,854]

If I was working so hard like Ferguson I would also be pissed if some cunt won it without even doing anything. Just saying that even if he said it because of this reason I do not wonder at all.

I don't wonder neither, I can understand his feelings but I just don't understand why he was talking about it the way he did. Sure some journalist asked him what he thinks about the current situation at Chelsea but it would be better just to say something general or not to comment it at all (RDM's style). I guess it's because it is Rafa. They don't like each other and they never did.

I agree. Some of our fans are still depressed of the RDM sacking, full of pessimism, apparently having already forgotten our great start of the campaign and the great talent we possess in the likes of Mata, Hazard and Oscar. We are a top club, please don't forget that. As far as I am concerned the EPL title hunt continues.

I felt that the third Juventus goal was our fault in playing wide but when you think about it:

2 Juventus goals came out of rebouns

1 WBA goal came out of Luiz's mistake and the other header from Odemwingie was from static play and bad covering.

Liverpool - cunt Suarez fouled Ramires

two great goals from Donetsk

great goal from Swansea as no one pressed the player outside the box

crazy game against United that I didn't watch but the scoreline 5-4 was horrific

another Luiz mistake - own goal against United, cunt Persie scoring one and Hernandez being offside..

tought two goals against Donetsk once again

lucky goals from Defoe (rebound) and Gallas - header from the end-line

and one goal from Norwich that didn't actually matter

We just find a way to concede no matter what. Good teams avoid many of the mistakes we make.

Benitez is a cunt and I wont support cunt.

And also I dont know how in supporting my beloved club is supporting of interim manager involved.

Well I think that this is perfect image of Frguson's personality. He likes to act like he wants and say what he thinks not what he is supposed to say. As much as do not like him and do not agree with vast majority of what he says I do quite like this side of him.

He just truthfully answered on something he was asked.

Mark my words. We r going to see a lot of cheating. http://diminbeirut.typepad.com is a gr8 article. Ferguson is corrupt shit and will take this oppurtunity to do his best to Cheat Chelsea. Watch out for corruption. I hope Benitez isn't scared to call Fergie a corrupt bastard!! because THAT'S WHAT THAT ASSHOLE FERGIE IS!

Working so hard? What ru mental? If u r talking about working hard in football. I disagree, but if u r talking about corruption. Then I agree! FFS ever seen UTD play. Idiots they never dominate the game yet always always win!! Bloody corrupt referee bribing cheats (http://diminbeirut.typepad.com/). They are shit complete shit. Everything they win is controversial or lucky! EVERYTHING!!!
