While I concentrated on the Bolton game yesterday I decided to leave this story until today. You know the one. Our old friend Demento stoking the fires ahead of the upcoming visit of United to Highbury. Ferguson claims Arsene Wenger came at him with his fists raised saying ‘Come on, put ’em up you mottled old bollix’ and demanded 15 rounds, Queensbury rules an’ all.
Having had some time to think about it and add it to the list of annoying things he’s said and done previously I have come to the conclusion that ‘Sir’ Alex is quite simply the biggest cunt the football world has ever known. He is the little fucker who always used ‘infinity plus one’ in a count-off, he’s the twat who would ask if you had a stamp collection and when you said ‘no’ he’d stamp on your foot and say ‘There’s one to start you off’, he’s the prick behind you in the cinema eating nachos, crisps, popcorn and every other crunchy thing that exists with his mouth open, he is The Smurf Song.
Arsene Wenger has dismissed his increasingly loony rantings saying “I will never answer any question any more about this man. He doesn’t interest me and doesn’t matter to me at all.” When asked if this meant an end to diplomatic relations between the two the boss said “I have no diplomatic relations with him,” and suggested Ferguson be charged with bringing the game into disrepute for his comments.
The FA are said to be at their wits end with the ongoing feud between the two managers and want the clubs to do something about it. Personally I think it’s fantastic entertainment and what exactly do they want? For Wenger and Ferguson to become friends? It’ll never happen. There are times in your life when you encounter somebody you just don’t like, that’s obviously the case for both of them, kind of like me and LL Cool J, but that’s a whole other story. I say let Ferguson say what he wants, Wenger has already drawn a line in the sand regarding that one and I hope when we beat United at Highbury next month and it’s time for the handshake Arsene pulls his hand away at the last minute, puts his thumb on his nose and does that wiggly finger thing at Ferguson. Anyway, this story is set to rumble on for another while yet.
In other news there really isn’t any other news apart from a very tenuous link to Cambridge United’s 18 year old goalkeeper John Ruddy. United are said to be interested in him too so we might just sign him to spite them. Oh, and The Sun is reporting that we’re running out of shirts because the players are swapping them all the time. They’re now only allowed swap after Champions League and FA Cup games. If anything else crops up early I might just update here.
So how was your weekend then?
