He also spoke at a remembrance service/dinner for Paisley a few years back & was extremely good apparently.
Personally I thought we were pretty shit yesterday, it's just that they were worse.

Yes that's a good point. Luckily they were both at home or I reckon yesterday's result would of been different.

Well Ferguson would say that. Doesn't matter. We won and we are through.
He was never going to come out and say that we were the better side and his side were awful or anything like that, and I think I would prefer that he said something like this rather than moaning about referees or fouls or anything else.
[/quote]
I love the way he played Evra to sort of 'get one over on us' and making him Captain instead of just dropping him for the sake of peace, and then Evra is at fault for the winning goal ;D
[/quote]
Im not standing up for him Asbo, but Evra IS their captain.

Don't let facts spoil a good story, the English Newspapers don't!

In today's "Sunday Times" the match reporter and the "Chief Sports Correspondent" are having a pop at us for - wait for it - the intensity of the booing which poor little diddums Evra got. Pricks.

I don't think it was as intense as it could have been, the lying little shit got off very lightly in all honesty. They clearly don't know what makes up an average supporters psyche and are obviously not qualified to do the job they are allegedly doing.
Clearly football fans are not allowed an opinion on someone's veracity, and the outcome of an unjust hearing.

They evidently aren't when their club has been elected witchhunt quarry of the season.
Had Ferguson thought he had anything to gain by doing so, you can bet he'd have been milking the whole thing afterwards.

Most definitely, I was convinced it would be scrappy at best due to exactly that.
Unfortunately we'll have the hangover on tuesday night. I'd make wholesale changes if I were kenny.

The thing about Ginsoak is that it's never noted how he was responsible for using hate as a motivational tool in football. It was quite deliberate. He actively encouraged a poisonous atmosphere of hatred when it came to dealing with opponents, individually and collectively. It certainly changed the nature and intensity of our matches against them, but it bled into countless other contests as well You'd think, with so many self-appointed historians and biographers of the man in the media, that one or two hacks would have acknowledged this, particularly when discussing recent events, but no, apparently it's all our fault, and Kenny's been 'rude' to the poor hacks and thus has turned into the anti-christ. It's ludicrous. Maybe Kenny should just start bannng hacks - they seem, perversely, to respect those who do.
Poor Fergie.
Manchester United will have to play Tomasz Kuszczak against Stoke tonight after David de Gea called in sick and Anders Lindegaard left the training ground on crutches.
Both Kuszczak and rookie Ben Amos were called up, but the more experienced Pole will take the field.
De Gea was surprisingly recalled to the United line-up in place of Lindegaard for Saturday's FA Cup defeat at Liverpool following a four-match absence, but the young Spaniard was widely criticised for another uncertain performance.
It presented manager Sir Alex Ferguson with a difficult choice ahead of tonight's Premier League clash with Stoke at Old Trafford, but the United manager's options narrowed dramatically on Monday morning.
First, De Gea phoned to say that he was unwell and would not be coming in to train, then Lindegaard was injured during the session at Carrington and went home on crutches with his right foot in a protective boot.
Protective boot: Lindegaard left United's training ground on crutches
It is the latest twist in United's goalkeeping saga this season. Ferguson has been forced to defend De Gea, having paid Atletico Madrid £17.8million in the summer to make him Edwin van der Sar's successor as No 1 at Old Trafford. It also established the 21-year-old as the most expensive goalkeeper in British football history.
But he has struggled to adapt to the English game since, which has contrasted sharply with the displays of 27-year-old Lindegaard, a £3.5m signing from Norwegian club Aalesunds.
Ferguson, who dropped De Gea after a poor performance against Blackburn on New Year's Eve, acknowledged that the Spaniard remains a 'long-term project' in an interview with Inside United magazine.
He said: 'Anders has been playing recently but we know with David it's about experiencing English football and adjusting to it. He's only 21. It's a long-term project for David, we always knew that.'
Somewhere to hide: De Gea turned in another questionable display at Liverpool
Although De Gea gave one of his better performances when United drew 1-1 at Stoke in September, there are fears over how he would cope again under bombardment from a team Ferguson likens to the old Wimbledon.
'You know what Tony Pulis's teams are like,' said Ferguson. 'They all get stuck in and you have to cope with that.
'When Wimbledon first came into our division, nobody looked forward to playing against them. Stoke have the same quality of never giving in.'
Wayne Rooney, Phil Jones and Nani are unlikely to be fit to return tonight but Rio Ferdinand, out for two games with a back spasm, is expected to be in the starting line-up against a Stoke team led by former United trainee Ryan Shawcross.
'I wasn't near to the first team and the manager thought it was best for me to move on,' said Shawcross.
'I don't wonder about what might have been. We will go to Old Trafford as massive underdogs but hoping to prove a point.'

"Dalglish must be restrained
When the football club you manage has created a situation in which any player who has been the victim of racial abuse will now think twice about reporting it, it behoves you to speak with dignity, restraint and regret. But not Kenny Dalglish. His part in in the Luis Suarez/Patrice Evra affair grows more contemptible every time he shows his face or opens his mouth.
When Manchester United played Liverpool ion the FA Cup on Saturday (the clubs involved in the affair), the victim of abuse, Evra, was booed ferociously and consistently abused as a 'dirty lying bastard'. All this was unpleasant enough. But when Dalglish was invited to comment, his response was to retreat into that contemptuous banality of which he is a master: 'Are you winding me up?'
No, Kenny, just asking a socially relevant question.
'Have you ever played football?' Do you need to have played football before asking a question related to racism? 'I cannot believe you asked me that question...' He then moved into complete gibberish: 'The media played its part going through the process,'etc, etc.
Dalglish has failed to understand that this is a serious business, even if it does spring from the trivial world of football. Dalglish is a man not so much respected as revered, so perhaps he should do better. One might suggest that sneering parochial self-interest is an inappropriate response to questions about serious issues."
I sent him an e-mail (simon.barnes@thetimes.co.uk) offering to set out in detail, again, the reasons why most of us don't accept that Luis Suarez was treated justly. I suggested that, if he wasn't interested in hearing both sides of what isn't a simple matter, he should put his own house in order before presuming to judge others. Needless to say, there's been no reply.

Indeed not, but I thought the challenge was worth making. When Matt Dickinson from the same paper (who is often critical of us and rarely the opposite) was giving it large on his webchat one day, I went on it and challenged him. He was surprisingly polite and, though he didn't retract what he'd been saying, he hasn't said anything more since, so it's always worth speaking up.

Well in JJ.
Indeed not, but I thought the challenge was worth making. When Matt Dickinson from the same paper (who is often critical of us and rarely the opposite) was giving it large on his webchat one day, I went on it and challenged him. He was surprisingly polite and, though he didn't retract what he'd been saying, he hasn't said anything more since, so it's always worth speaking up.
