I am Defecting Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I don't know how Sir Alex Ferguson does it. It must be annoying to hear, as a fan of any other team.

Braedon Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I don't know how Sir Alex Ferguson does it. It must be annoying to hear, as a fan of any other team. Me neither, especially since Man U lacks the funds to field a competent squad year after year. :rolleyes: No mention of '86-89? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Defecting Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Me neither, especially since Man U lacks the funds to field a competent squad year after year. :rolleyes: I know it. Sir Alex has to wait to buy washed up players on the cheap, like Van Persie, or snap them up before anyone notices their talent, like Ronaldo or Rooney.

Sir Alex has to wait to buy washed up players on the cheap, like Van Persie, or snap them up before anyone notices their talent, like Ronaldo or Rooney. I completely respect his managerial prowess, even if he's afforded the many luxuries that come with a perennial powerhouse like MU. But he's such a douche. I've never heard anyone cry as much as that guy. Every week he moans about something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Defecting Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) He really does. He always blames the officials, or anything, but I've never seen him publicly blame a player. He always protects the players on his team from criticism, and himself from criticism. Edited February 6, 2013 by Yuri Olesha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always protects the players on his team from criticism, and himself from criticism. I try to not pay attention to his whining, but in the last couple months he's had it out for Tottenham so I can't help it. He bitched about not enough injury time in their loss to the Spurs, and a few weeks ago accused the Spurs of manipulating the system in their signing of Zeki Fryers.

I am Defecting Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 It's a lesson for other coaches. If the goalkeeper lets one in late in the game, blame the timekeeper. It will make matters worse for you when Bale signs for United. ;) Just kidding. Bale really starting to dominate. How do you like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bale really starting to dominate. How do you like him. My favorite player, despite the incessant diving. Was talking with a friend about him playing lone striker. I'm all for it in lieu of Defoe's injuries. Edited February 6, 2013 by Braedon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Defecting Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) I could definitely see it working out. He sort of reminds me of CR7, right before he really started scoring. Edited February 6, 2013 by Yuri Olesha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I could definitely see it working out. He sort of reminds me of CR7, right before he really started scoring. Scored his first *own goal* last weekend in a 1 - 0 loss to Madrid, if I recall correctly. Cristiano is a prima donna. Gareth's a man's man. :P He is a prima donna alright, the second prima donnaest of them all ... just behind A-Rod. That said, he is a hottie though. He also melts under the pressure of the biggest international tournaments ... Euro and WC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Scored his first *own goal* last weekend in a 1 - 0 loss to Madrid, if I recall correctly. How much extra do they get paid for own goals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 How much extra do they get paid for own goals? Never mind that. He gets paid plenty, but it could be very serious. Some poor bugger was murdered for scoring an *own goal* during a Columbia / USA match in the WC you yanks hosted, if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 That was Andres Escobar. He was murdered in Columbia after his team dropped out of the tourney. He was from Columbia. Chances are, he was going to end up murdered, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braedon Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 He was from Columbia. Chances are, he was going to end up murdered, anyway. It was a really sad story. Through no fault of their own the Columbian team were hooked by Pablo's cartel. They played with outright fear. It that case the OG probably cost him his life. OGs happen all the time tho, heck Walters had 2 in the same game for Stoke a couple weeks back. I guess the moral of the story is don't score on yourself when your teams affiliated with a drug cartel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Defecting Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Messi is probably on drugs. Best, Maradona, Pele. Coppi, Contador: all drug users. Note in the annals of history that Lance Armstrong needed a European doctor. Project Messi must be still be on drugs, because he is just too good. He's in Lance mode.

I've been wrong before, eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wrong before, eh. Did you read his story in ESPN mag? If not, it's a great read. He wasn't getting anywhere with the Argentina youth squads and his family couldn't afford his meds. Barca, on the other hand, paid for everything and he moved to Spain with his dad I think. The rest is history..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
