Embarrassing Fergie interviews

[Tooting Gull]

I think those media outlets that Ferguson still deigns to speak to should just give it up as a bad job, it's less than pointless and the fawning questions put forward by ITV/Sky are simply embarrassing.

After the Besiktas defeat tonight there was only one question to be asked of him. It's the sort of question that any other manager would have been asked, and though irritated they would have answered.

And that should have been: "Do you think your team selection this evening showed a lack of respect to Champions League opposition?"

He could have answered any way he liked of course, gone red in the face, whatever, but instead they offer him the totally misleading way out of saying Man U should have had a penalty.

strange, everyone seems too scared to upset him.

He is a massive bellend. Obviously a legend of a manager but as time goes on he becomes more and more arrogant and blind to his and his teams mistakes.

its funny, as i understand it he has to perform media interviews for CL, so he cant flounce and you'd have thought they'd milk that. shame.

This match showed that the Sunderland debacle was not a one-off. Fergie's reserves are not in the same class as Chelsea's.

What I don't understand is why he makes 7 or 8 changes rather than 3 or 4. That "invincibility at home" tag has gone; again, these are sorts of results Chelsea manage to avoid.

It was, however, a blatant penalty that anybody could have seen and the ref should have. On such decisions managers get the sack obviously not in his case but in many others.

I like him because he takes the piss when asked a question as if to say what a stupid question to ask me.

It's been bugging me for ages what's so weird about the way Fergie speaks and I've just figured it out :-

Evertime he says a word with an 'L' in it he pronounces it as an 'R'

For instance (say this in a Ferguson accent):-

"Riverpoor were very rucky today. I thought they were rackrustre and rooked rike roosing in the rast minute"

Check it out next time he does an interview - you'll never hear him in the same way again

Wasn't so keen on the Fergie one but completely unrelated to the topic in hand, this one is quite funny

Not sure I agree. We're constantly being told it's a squad game, so what's wrong with using his squad? None of the players used were making their debut's. The defence consisted of Neville, Vidic, Brown and Da Silva. With the exception of Da Silva they're all first team players. There's a few young players who were given some big match experience but there's nothing wrong with that. As a manager last night was the perfect opportunity for them to get that experience without having to worry too much about the result. I doubt Besiktas felt particularly slighted, they seem to be delighted with their win.

that is a perfect analyasis. He's an awesome manager, but simpily a cock.

Spot on. Plus even when they play stiffs they normally get a result.

You are missing the point. Which is that Fergie is perfectly capable of offering the explanation you have just given (if indeed that is the case). But he doesn't get asked to answer proper questions any more. On the rare occasions he does actually bother to turn up.

No, I got the point I just don't agree that:

"Do you think your team selection this evening showed a lack of respect to Champions League opposition?"

Was the only, or best, question to ask him.
