08.46 – It goes from bad to worse for ‘Sir’ Alex Ferguson. After seeing his side dumped out of the FA Cup on Saturday, he stormed into the dressing room, ready to let rip with one of his infamous tirades. As he came into where the players were getting changed, in a fit of temper he kicked a football boot as hard as he could. The boot flew through the air, whacked David Beckham on the side of the head, leaving the England captain with nasty cut. Beckham went mental at Ferguson, and there was all sorts of madness going on before he had the wound stitched up by the United doctor. He left Old Trafford with his missus and son Brooklyn soon afterwards, and there are fears a major rift has developed between the two. Hahahahaha.
It’s all far removed from the calm style of Arsene Wenger, who reveals that he met with the Arsenal board after George Graham was sacked. At that time, the idea of a foreign coach was just a bit too daring and out of the ordinary for boring, stuck in a timewarp Arsenal. Still, when Rioch got the boot, in came AW and the rest is history. He also talks about how the target this season is the Champions League. His influence over Arsenal can be illustrated by Robert Pires saying Arsenal was never a club he’d envisaged joining. We didn’t have the profile of Man Utd, Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan etc. Now we have Ronaldo talking about how he’d like to move to Arsenal. How times change.
The draw for the 1/4 finals of the FA Cup takes place this afternoon. You’ll get reaction and info on the forum. Bet you anything we’ll get Leeds.
Has Myles been reading Leopold….again? The line between reality and parody grows ever closer. Soon, only their wives will be able to tell the difference.
heh.
