Taggart in "ridiculously sensitive" shock

[Simster]

BBC Sport - Ferguson cuts short news conference after question

So he walks out because ONE reporter suggested that the best two English teams are "struggling" in Europe.

Now I agree with him - United are hardly "struggling", but walking out? f*** me what a twat.

 

[Beach Hut]

Bit of a hissy fit to say the least, thought it was quite a topical question

To finish 2nd in that group has got to be seen as a massive FAILURE, assuming Benfica win their last game.

A bit petulant of him to walk out though, good to see him under a wee bit of pressure.

 

[Gritt23]

What a twonk!

 

[BensGrandad]

If they finish 2nd there is only one person to blame Fergie himself as he chose a weakened side assuming it was a foregone concolusion that they would win the game.

I would LOVE IT if Basel beat them in the next game

That would indeed be hilarious.

Well done fergie! The press are c***s!

 

[Richard Hebberd's Syrup]

Makes whichever chump said they were ready to beat Barcelona look a little silly

If United and City do go out, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion as who to will win the Champions League from one of the two Spanish giants unless Bayern or AC can spring a surprise

as manchester crumbles out early - the door is left wide open for a london club to finally win it...

oops, sorry. just woke up.

 

[vegster]

Once again the world of sport media have forgotten to ask the right question. How disrespectful of them not to realise that they are in the presence of a living god ?

 

[Albion Robster]

Looks like the pressure is getting to Slur Alex!

 

[Braders]

I would LOVE IT if Basel beat them in the next game

and so say all of us!

It's Real Madrid's trophy this year anyway

If they can beat Barcelona. Whoever beats Barcelona will win it.

Barca aren't as strong this year, Real Madrid are the team to beat, in my opinion of course

.

And a stunning success if they win the group then. Even though finishing second and still qualifies them for the knockout stage. In what way is that in any way a failure?

Of Course. I would say (in my opinion) they are stronger. With the additions of Alexis Sanchez and Fabregas and no really leaving (except Bojan - off the top of my head)

 

[Mackenzie]

Rubbish response from Ferguson, if you don't like the question argue your point. Walking out like that makes him look foolish.

Are you Fergie in disguise?
