I’m not ok!

[Chino @ChinoUTD]

🚨 Jose Mourinho on Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola comparisons:

“Someone asked me this question before and I said, ‘Before I answer, tell me something. Where are we starting Alex Ferguson’s career?’

She said, ‘Manchester United.’

I said, ‘No, no. Then already we have a problem.’

People talk about Ferguson and immediately they see Old Trafford. The trophies, Cantona, Beckham, Cristiano, Rooney, the Champions League.

I see Aberdeen first.

This is a man who went into Scotland when Celtic and Rangers were supposed to own everything.

He wins the league with Aberdeen.

Then he does it again.

And again.

Then apparently dominating Scotland with Aberdeen wasn’t difficult enough, so he goes into Europe.

Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid in the final.

European trophy.

Then the Super Cup.

I remember once joking with him, ‘Mister, you could have retired before Manchester United and still spent the rest of your life telling everybody you were a very good manager.’

He laughed and said something like, ‘I would’ve been bored.’

That tells you everything about him.

Because then he goes to Manchester United.

And people speak today as if he arrived at the Manchester United we all know now.

No.

They hadn’t won the league for 26 years.

So this man had already disturbed the natural order in one country, came to another country and apparently decided the natural order there needed disturbing too.

Thirteen league titles later, now everybody remembers United as the giant.

That is the funny thing about football.

Sometimes a manager becomes so successful that people eventually use the size of the club he helped build as an argument against what he achieved there.

So if you ask me to choose?

I remember Aberdeen.

Because before Ferguson had Manchester United, Manchester United had to go and find Ferguson.

And they found him in Scotland with a European trophy he’d just taken off Real Madrid.

For me, that changes the conversation completely.”

I’ve waited a few hours to let it sink in but Polvara is a myth! I must be missing what everyone else is seeing

@keeza1903 Tbf this last couple of weeks has been a real drain on finances, I myself have paid for the euro home game package, the Motherwell game and a package for the Sparta game, I’m lucky I could do it but a lot of people will have to pick and choose

[Steve Third 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 @steve_third]

You’ve got to give the rangers fans credit! They are renowned for letting their club die and walking away so for them to still be there in the last 10 minutes was really something 🧟‍♂️🧟🧟‍♀️

@StevieG1978 Exactly, if he’s going to go down with an “injury “ why do it on our youngest most inexperienced penalty taker? What a fucking clown!

[Steve Third 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 @steve_third]

@AberdeenFC We only lost because we were cheated!! The SFA are corrupt to the core!

[Steve Third 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 @steve_third]

Fuck you kelle Roos!! You could’ve walked away and then play the injury when Celtic were taking the pen but no, you chose to play injured on our pen! Fuck off and when you get there keep fucking off!!
