Why Fergie Needs Liverpool To Lose Tonight ?

 

Famously, Sir Alex has always claimed to be on a golf course whenever crucial matches take place in which United are concerned but not involved.

 

Will the manager be seeking alternative entertainment again when Liverpool play AC Milan this evening?

 

Sir Alex is unlikely to be an impartial spectator when red Merseyside steps out in Athens to contest a seventh European final. He has already declared that he expects Liverpool to lose.

 

?I?d bet for sure that Milan will win the Champions League,? Ferguson said earlier this month. ?I said to Carlo at the end of our semifinal that there is no way he can now not win this competition. Carlo gave me a magnificent bottle of wine. But I immediately told him I would only drink his wine once I see him lifting the Champions Cup.?

 

Excellent wine might be the ideal companion to the neat arithmetic that a Milanese victory would present for Sir Alex. United were comprehensively beaten by Carlo Ancelotti?s side in the semi-final. It would go some way towards soothing the boss? deep regret if he could say that his team was removed from the tournament by its eventual winner.

 

By the same token, a Liverpool success would be a disaster. Victory for a team which finished 21 points behind United in the Premiership, would not only be stomach-churning but would, in the aftermath, shine a scorching light on United?s lamentable European record during the Scot?s 21 year rule. Just one European Cup decorates the United trophy room despite the tens of millions Ferguson has spent in search of Europe?s top bauble.

 

Sir Alex will argue that he was able to succeed once he was not handcuffed by the ?four foreigners? rule. Ferguson?s domestic dominance and the rout of Roma, also allow his European record to escape damning scrutiny.

 

But Rafael Benitez? sure touch in Europe - two Champions League finals in three years, without the benefit of United?s playing or financial resources ? takes Ferguson?s record out of the long grass. The manager finds even less shelter once the facts and tactics of his European campaigns are taken into account. United, boasting two of the best young players in Europe and one of the world?s best defenders, still cannot win away from Old Trafford. Sir Alex?s team have slipped to defeat in three of their last four Champions League away matches and eight of the previous 13 games.

 

Oliver Holt, the Mirror?s top Fergie basher, has already served notice of the line of attack to be pursued against the manager should Liverpool win.

 

?How long does he [Ferguson] keep chasing the dream now?? Holt wrote last month. ?How long do United let him chase it? Are they content with domestic dominance or do they really want to move to the next level? The crushing reality for United fans is that things appear to have come full circle and in Europe at least, United are chasing Liverpool again.?

 

Both Ferguson and his tormentors have interests at stake in this season?s Euro finale. Whatever the result, there will be more than a few United fans who will look at the Greek spectacle and see a rare opportunity missed.

Just one European Cup decorates the United trophy room despite the tens of millions Ferguson has spent in search of Europe?s top bauble.

 

 

Erm, I think you'll find that that particular cup decorates our trophy room...

[Buzz]

and one of the world?s best defenders

Who the f***s that?. I hope they mean Vidic!

[John am Rhein]

They mean Wes Brown

[ManxRed]

Mikael Silvestre, shurely?

[Ostrich Man]

simple.

 

give him three more years to get us to 19 league titles.

 

then someone else to get us to 7 european cups.

 

 

whats the problem?

Subtle attempt at mockership which is to be commended

[Cobs]

Ferguson can come see it whenever he likes

[Guy_Incognito]

Fecking hell, good spotting.

 

These mockers are getting more subtle and hard to beat. They're like a virus.

[Serko]

Surely Fergie needs us to lose tonight as they will be left with less cash from the CL next season if we win. Currently they are due to get 30% of the money, but if we win they only get 20%.

[floyd]

because going on the time it took to get 2 - 45 years, it'll take till the year 2200 to reach 7.

f*** me, you will have Buck Rodgers upfront with Jar Jar Binks

Binks turned 'em down 4 years ago didnt he?

[stressederic]

Binks turned 'em down 4 years ago didnt he?

 

No he's been partnering Vidic in defence this season.

as a liverpool fan i thought youd know thats not the way it works.

[Guest Anders Honoré]

No he's been partnering Vidic in defence this season.

 

No, binks unquestionably turned them down four years ago:

 

 

I am fairly certain Vidic has been partnered by the nubian giraffe in defence this season:

 

[Tosh]

Enjoy the wine, Sir Alex

[John am Rhein]

I bet it's corked - not that Nesbitt will notice

[pipnasty]

I bet it's corked - not that Nesbitt will notice

 

He'll down it in one and it won't even touch the sides - I hope it chokes him.

[nvdm]

Enjoy the wine, Sir Alex

 

Aye, enjoy it.

 

You bitter, hateful c***.

[John am Rhein]

Ancelotti should enjoy the bottle of Buckfast Ferguson gave him

[Ostrich Man]

[stressederic]

I fail to believe that Ferguson would have waited till last night before drinking it. He's probably already cracked the bottle open and licked the glass clean.
