The gloves are off

Manchester United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak claims No.1 Edwin van der Sar is of little help to him.

The Pole, in his fourth season at Old Trafford, says that he often asks the 39-year-old Dutchman for advice and help.

But, he feels that van der Sar does not pass on advice as he would like.

"To be honest, I must say this and Edwin doesn't like this too much for sure, but he doesn't help me too much," he told MUTV, according to The Times.

"I have told him a few times already to give me some more advice because he's got more experience and got many more games under his belt.

"I say, 'You have to give me something more because I like to know what I do wrong and like to watch other people. Doing that I can take some good from the advice I get.'

"But I don't know, maybe Edwin doesn't like me. You'll have to ask him."

The 27-year-old admits that he finds it hard not playing regular first-team football.

"I've already waited three-and-a-half years," he said.

"I will wait longer but my ambition is so big and I want to have a nice feeling after games, be tired and go home and think, 'Oh, you did a good job'."

And Fergie tries to play it down, not very well though.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has played down talk of a rift between goalkeepers Tomasz Kuszczak and Edwin van der Sar.

Reports on Friday claimed the pair did not see eye-to-eye after Kuszczak appeared to question Van der Sar's lack of help and advice.

Kuszczak made the comments on United's in-house television station, MUTV, but Fergusonclaims the Polish international was only joking at the time.

"It is just not true," Ferguson said of any row between the pair.

"Tomasz was cracking a joke. He was laughing when he said it.

"There is no problem between him and Edwin - maybe it is just that Polish humour doesn't translate to British humour."

Polish humour must be really shit.

Nice title.

Shit cover up by Fergie. Polish humour? Come on.

Rubbish. Almost as bad as Houllier's "no Robbie was just pretending to eat grass" story that time

 

[Dreambeliever]

He was a great prospect when he went there.

 

[Squiggles]

He's being strung along.

Fergie will be in the market for a new keeper whenever VDS finally retires. You almost feel sorry for the Pole.

Bloody Poles. They come into our country, take all our jobs, and then whinge about it. I am surprised he hasn't been found asleep in a corner at Carrington snuggling into an empty bottle of vodka.
