In 2 minutes the media embargo on Fergie's book is lifted. I'm hoping for a chapter entitled 'Rooney is a Cunt'

Rooney told Ferguson in 2010 to sign Mesut Ozil. Ferguson: "My reply was that it was none of his business who we should have gone for."

Close enough.

Stand-out revelation from Alex Ferguson's autobiography: "I had a lovely painting in my office that Kieran Richardson did."

Ronaldo, he says, informed him of his wish to join Real Madrid during a meeting in Portugal. Ferguson, though, was deeply unhappy with the behaviour of Roman Calderon, the Real Madrid president, and promptly told Ronaldo that “I’d rather shoot you” than do a deal with Calderon.

Froggie on Mancini and Tevez.

“Taking him back showed desperation..."
“In terms of his prestige as a manager, he let himself down.”

Fergie on Benitez: "It amazes me that he used to walk into press conferences and say he had no money to spend. He was given plenty."

My biggest problem with Welbeck is seeing how evey mistake he makes is a 'simple' mistake. Things like his first touch and finishing are what I'd expect from a striker, he's obviously talented and very fast.

I'd put Welbeck's shortcomings with why hasn't Valencia started using his left leg?

Do those footballers even train?

Fergie's favourite Italian team: Juventus.

Let us have Conte, you can make Fergie come out of retirement.

"Maldini was an outstanding player. I loved him.

"I approached his father once, Cesare, and the look he gave me I knew never to go back to him.

"He was never leaving Milan.

And on Italian football, he claims "Marcello Lippi's Juventus were the model."

Welbeck was pretty good during the Friendlies but mentally he is just shit. Valencia has improved since last year, but he's still mentally shit.

That's the problem with Manchester United this year. You can sometimes see the improvement they've had but they just don't gel at all during a match.

Yes, for one year.

And I'm pretty sure we offered him WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY less than City AND United

Some of these players are brought up on playing FIFA. He's trying to pull off "advance" football when he has no understanding of the simple basics.
Welbeck will never get the simple stuff right unless he stops being so damn "English".

An entire chapter is on the Rock of Gibraltar and the fall out that followed.

Froggie is basically responsible for the Glazers coming. :p

Manchester United are the only club that can win the league coming from behind... apart from when Manchester City did it a couple of seasons ago.

Fergie is back on the wine.

"the minute they threaten your control, you have to get rid of them" - Alex Ferguson

"Out of my huge respect for Mr. Wenger, the players and the fans I don’t want to go into any details, but unfortunately in this meeting it has again become clear to me that we in many aspects disagree on the way Arsenal FC should move forward." - van Persie


Him only wanting United put Arsene between a rock and a hard place =/

But he doesn't actually say anything about it, a "misunderstanding" is all. As expected.

Not sure what I expected but books seems like it's pretty bland. Beckham/Keane well trodden ground.

Hope the 'evening with..' is a bit more interesting...paid a fair whack for tickets..

I think so :(

Even my patience is being tested now though. I must admit when that thingy happened on the weekend even I was like "ffs you are so shit". But I don't care I will love him forever. Welbz <3

Wondering if Adnan should start tomorrow. It's a lot of games to play in a short time at this level for a young player. That said the alternatives fill me with dread. I'd like Zaha to play. But it won't happen. Not in Europe.
Click to expand...
We need to be really careful with Januzaj, don't want him getting injuries and whatnot as he's filling out.

Zaha is rubbish anyway tbh so I don't really care if he plays or not. Apparently he already thinks he's baller just for getting the move. Mate, Ashley Young got a move to United.

Tbf I don't hate Welbeck. He's testing my patience right now though. I would like to have him as a squad player, but if his finishing doesn't improve he shouldn't be anything more than that.
