Vieira - the offensive begins/Ferguson rant (merged)

[SWP's back]

Rednose upset it would seem

With Viera's comments. I think it's safe to say that the barbs hit home and it's round one to City.:

'Desperation' stakes: Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson blasts back at Manchester City's use of Carlos Tevez March 23,

Sir Alex Ferguson has launched an amazing attack on Manchester City and warned them he has "plenty of ammunition" if they want to engage in mind games. Earlier this week, former Blues midfielder Patrick Vieira said the decision to bring Paul Scholes out of retirement smacked of desperation. However, United have won nine Premier League games and drawn one with Scholes in the team, suggesting the move has worked. It certainly has provided Ferguson with the opportunity to hit back in a week when Carlos Tevez has made his controversial return to the Manchester City fold.

"If it's desperation bringing the best midfielder in Britain back for the last 20 years then I think we can accept that," said Ferguson. "I think he (Vieira) was programmed for that. "Roberto had a wee dig a couple of weeks back. We're all going to play our hand that way. There will be plenty of ammunition for that.

"If you talk about desperation, they played a player the other night who refused to go on the pitch, the manager said he'd never play again and he takes a five-month holiday in Argentina. What is that? Could that come under the description of desperation?" Ferguson also rejected Vieira's assertion that a further sign of United struggling was their inability to keep hold of Ravel Morrison during the January transfer window and their on-going battle to retain Paul Pogba.

"The point he made about Ravel Morrison and losing our young players - we wanted to sell him (Morrison) let's be clear about that, for obvious reasons. "But we want Pogba to stay because we think he's going to be a fantastic Manchester United player and hopefully that's the case."

Re: Vieira - the offensive begins!

Paddy goes on a fishing expedition and pulls a whopper, what a class act. Fergiescum is flapping a bit when he says this 'Roberto Mancini had a little dig at us a couple of weeks back. We are all going to play our hand. I have plenty of ammunition that way."

Ooh can't wait you drunken twat! Bring it on. Even if we don't win it this year you know our time will come very very son and so does everyone else. Keep clutching at straws and shoot your ammunition.

He's just mad that none of his crap old school mind games have any affect on us. We soak it up, laugh at them and and win the next game. They know we are better than them, and it shows.

Well done Paddy V.

Sir Alex Ferguson hits back at Manchester City criticism
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has criticised Manchester City after his decision to bring Paul Scholes out of retirement was queried.

Ex-Blues midfielder Patrick Vieira said the move showed "weakness".

But Ferguson warned he "had plenty of ammunition" if title rivals City wanted to engage in mind games.

"If it's desperation bringing back the best midfielder in Britain for the last 20 years then I think we can accept that," said Ferguson.

Re: Rednose upset it would seem

The only reason that **** backed Mancini over Tevez

Is because he knows what a class player Tevez is and what he can bring

No mention of the fact that anyone and everyone who has been employed by this rancid organisation has been wheeled out to have a pop at City in the media since the start of the season? Or the fact that the MEN prints this crap on what seems like a daily basis in recent weeks, most recently by Captain Flasher the crooked crock? Hmmm . . .
As for Shakin Bacon, Roberto is well able to handle so-called 'mind games' from that piss-stained dinosaur
