Sir Alex Ferguson did message PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi to congratulate him on winning the #UCL.
However, he didn’t call Arsenal “boring” despite reports.
Ferguson’s message instead included the phrase, “You were the team that played football”.
Michael Carrick being appointed as new permanent manager for Manchester United is getting more media coverage and attention from the public than Arsenals first PL win in over 20 years
When you’re big, you’re big
🗣️ Patrice Evra on Sir Alex Ferguson's team talk before the Champions League final in 2008:
"Ferguson said: 'I've already won. We don't even need to play this game.' We were like: What is he talking about? The game hasn't even started.
Then Ferguson turned to me, 'Look at Patrice,' he said. 'He's got 24 brothers and sisters. Imagine what his mother had to do to put food on the table!'
Then he turned to Wayne Rooney: 'Look at Wayne. He grew up in one of the toughest parts of Liverpool.' Then he turned to Park Ji-sung; 'Look at Ji, he's come all the way from South Korea.'
As the boss talked about our stories, we began to realize that he was referring to a fellowship. We were not just a football team - we were people from every corner of the world, from all kinds of cultures and races and religions. And now we were there, together in a dressing room in Moscow, fighting for a common cause. Through football, we had become brothers.
'THIS is my victory' Ferguson said. We all got goosebumps. Then we went out and won the Champions League. That's Manchester United. That's why I love this game."
Can’t they just feed Fergie into an AI machine? Wilcox can go in at half time and read from a print out. “It says: ‘I’ll see yous will never play for this club again, sonny.’ Pick up kettle. Throw at Patrick Dorgu.”
