This is just a rehash of his programme notes from Sunday I think.

He is a dickhead and he gets worse as he gets older.

Judging by the picture of him walking on the back of his kitman on Tunnell cam, we wont be worrying about him for much longer.
 
Scoring nearly 90 goals in the league playing defensive, good job we don't go out to attack then. Dear Fergie, stop embarrassing yourself. The end.
 
I really dont think it is. How can him saying "if we played like city we'd be top" (not word for word) be a dig. To me hes saying he has seen a quality in us that he wants to emulate.
 
If they hadn't completely lost the plot and gone out chasing glory and accepted that they were at the end of a good beating when they got a consolation goal in the swamp derby and settled for 1-3 at 80 minutes they would only be 2 goals behind us. Even that thick scouse twat could understand that they threw the last 3 goals away and came back to cover for Smalling, Evans & Fletcher, who kept piling forwards.

In this game we highlighted their defensive frailties without Vidic in the side, especially when they are chasing the game. It's just a pity that it took until Athletic Bilbao did the double over them that other teams sat up and took notice.
 
Fergie quote "We never play for a draw. We always try to win" They clearley were palying for a draw. Ferdinand, De Gea & Co were time wasting from about the 12 minute mark with free kicks and goal kicks. The team selection showed fear of City.

He's being a bit too subtle for you I think mate...
 
He's a liar and a fool. It's a dig at City no doubt about it. He's on about the "defensive, Italian mentality". Unfortunately the country is packed with idiots who claim to like football who will read his comments in the sun and believe that United play this all out attacking brand of fantasy football. They'll have forgotten the derby already and will hang on his every word. The truth is though, that whenever they have an away game that he sees as tricky, he brings in Park to pack the midfield and hopefully nick a goal on the counter attack.

We had one option when they came to us, beat them. We did it. They had two options and failed to achieve either.
 
I may be mistaken here but doesn't the Premiership table show City have scored 2 goals more than United, as well as conceding 6 goals less? So, essentially, we're better defensively AND offensively than they are. Don't remember us "bolting up the game" late on in the Old Trafford derby, quite the opposite in fact. It was our attacking endeavour right to the final whistle in that game that has, if we beat QPR on Sunday, won us the league.
 
I see it different. After our Arsenal defeat their goal differance was 3 better. If we do win it on goal differance its because of our strong finish to the season. 1 conceded and 6 great goals at Norwich amonst the 15 we have scored since Arsenal. Utd had in effect wiped out the 6 in the derby.

You don't remember bolting up?

Our formation at the end of the game was something like this:

Hart
Zab Richards Kompany Lescott Clichy
Milner De Jong Barry
Yaya
Aguero

To me that is locking up, bolting up, throwing away the key, welding the door shut, then building a brick wall in front of it whilst employing De Jong as a guard dog just for safe measures.
