Fergie on Sunday

[robburrow7]

Only health reasons will force fergie to retire IMO.

He's a persistant sod and just seems to keep going and going........and going.......and going.

For 71, he's not looking in bad nick.

Last time he announced his retirement early in the season and it backfired. Having learned from that mistake he will announce it and go. It's his 25th anniversary in a few days so what better time to do it? He's beaten Liverpool in the title chase and they clearly aren't going to win the CL anytime soon.

Wouldn't surprise me if they approached Hughes in the summer before he signed a 2-yr extension at Fulham and told him to hang fire.

Fucking hell fella, pass me the bifta.

Bacon resigning, Clueless taking over, must be some cracking stuff you've got.

Talking to the TV people after the game fergie said something that pricked my ears, "it will will be a challenge for the players after this, but it will also be a challenge for me". Just seemed a strange thing to say. He's won everything he can and dominated football for a very long period. The speed in which City has risen to the top I think has genuilly rocked him. That comment gave me the impression that he is questioning his ability to compete with City in the future.

i couldnt belive the team fergie put out it was awful it could of been a lot better in fairness

He was a sad lonely figure on Sunday, but that's to be expected given the defeat. However, I would never imagine that bloke caving in, he's just not made that way. OK, at 71 he must be thinking about it, but he'd never, absolutely never go at a point like this.

This.

I know everyone's enjoying a gloat at Fergie and United at the moment, (including me) but history has taught us you never write either of them off, the season is a third of the way through and traditionally they always get better after Christmas.

Baconface will be smarting after this, so don't assume the rags are out of it just yet, it could all change in a week.

I love this idea that they are just gonna win ever game after christmas its the one thing we keep hearing traditionally we always get better after christmas, well traditionally they always start slow and they didnt this year did they, traditions dont always stay the same.

It was his interviews before the match that intrigued me he said that defeat at this stage of the season defeat wouldnt be terminal, it is not like him to actively take pressure of his own players, it was like he had accepted defeat before the match ive never seen that be4

have to say i agree with this summation

i thought it was rather odd that he was saying defeat wouldn't be the end of the world before the game
knowing they always steam roller teams he normally piles on the pressure saying defeat would be terminal to put the opposition under even more pressure

I fully agree, but my point was it would be mad to write them off, like everybody seems to be doing...a wounded tiger and all that.....

I never write them off it would be foolish to do so but this season they havent shown me anything to suggest their suddenly gonna come good and steam roller the world just after christmas, look at their team and bench on sunday.

The idea that they will just automatically come good after christmas is ridiculous it may happen it may not but its almost like its bound to happen so it obviously will.

Remember sunday they were bound to beat us, they were bound to put is n our place and claim THEIR place at the top of the league, didnt quite work out for them that did it?
