Undertones of SAF creating a siege mentality, to me anyway.
Ferguson on Pardew (and Newcastle)
- Thread starter Maciej
- Start date
I agree he is very cute at taking things that happen and turning them into a chance to create a good atmosphere within his team while also making the fans really get behind the team. That dodgey offside goal could have knocked the stuffing out of most sides but I think it was a catalyst to a halftime talk that turned the game. He is in his 70s and has won a load of titles and is still berating the ref for a dubious decision.
This overdone dislike some of you have for Newcastle is amusing.Depends what you base small on doesn't it...based on winning things then most clubs must be small as it is usually the same few names that appear on cups and league championships...personally I wouldn't describe a club with 50,000 watching most weeks as small.
The Newcastle fans I know don't have any delusions of grandeur and why exactly having KK as manager would be a reason for them to think that way is a mystery.
We'll all be chanting "No Surrender" by time the seasons out.
In fact it appears to be an amalgamation of several hip hop disses, SAF is a hip hop fan no question about that.
You're giving him too much credit, Stick. Giving out yards to people for no apparent reason is just a natural by-product of the aging process. Ask moses.
In fairness, I've just seen the video of it and the way he says it there really is no malice or bite to it, so I agree that there really is zero issue here.
That's what I'm talking about, Steve. Put a wooly hat on him and it's moses.
haha you're probably right.
Doesn't make it right
Fergie says what everyone's thinking, any other manager in the country (probably world) reacts like he did and no one bats an eyelid, only the referee can judge whether or not he was offensive, which it would seem, he wasn't.
Not a lot wrong with it. Either way, why would it only be highlighted now?
Also, doesn't mean it's right to single one out. (Especially if you're one of the worst!)
I like Newcastle. A good club. I'd much rather they were fighting for titles with us than plastic clubs like Chelsea, City et al. I was pleased to see them do so well last season.
That said, Fergie's comments do make me laugh. It's just banter.

Anyone see the picture of Wenger on the article about it on bbc? Looks like a right crazy bastard!
"I've got a tube of Smarties here somewhere..."
Everything I see leads me to think he's off at the end of the season.
With number 20 in the bag.
Fergie 
Once a wee club always a wee club.
Doesn't make the double standards right.
It's the time of year where everyone dusts of the old ABU hat and has a big old moan about how big and bad fergie is while waving at the other managers acting like absolute cnuts saying 'Hey mate, how you been.. Now back to big old bad fergie..'
feck there are some weapons who follow football.
Yeah, I'm thinking so as well.
Moyes isn't signing his new contract as well.
The first rule of wee club is don't talk about wee club.
They're called 'wee club' because Ashley's been taking the piss out of Newcastle FC for ages.
The video looks worse than it is. People just assume Fergie is swearing his head off. Not true. Yes he is animated but the ref himself says it was a reasoned discussion.
We have to remember this occured not during the game but while waiting for a tardy Newcastle who kept United waiting for the restart of the 2nd half.
Wenger kicking the bottle, Pardew shoving the linesman all occurred during the game and were violent acts and rightly more worthy of punishment.

Dippers were losing it on the radio today (talkshite). Saying we should be docked points and the like. It's great. Geordies too.
Poor Pards has been Amish shunned by Fergie. That bit Fergie said that he "forgets" how Sir helped him. I guess old Alan won't be counting on SAF putting a good word in anywhere when he's looking for a new gig after he fails to stear the toonies out of their nosedive.
It's amazing how this non-story has whipped up all the drones into a frenzy. Fergie must be pissing himself.

On what basis would they dock us any points? Because big bad Mr Ferguson gave them a booboo on their feelings?

"They're not talking about us being 7th anymore."
My club's a big club, your club's a small club. Who was it that said every man thinks he has the hottest wife at home? Who gives a feck, honestly. The geordies should be more worried about their cataclysmic fall down the table than what some dude in Manchester says.
Did they get Obama on the phone yet?
Is there a link to the actual 'rant', I was out of the country & only heard about it but didn't see it.
When I was on my way back from the airport last night they were carping on about it on Talkshite like it was something serious but most of the people on here seem to have laughed it off as nothing.

The best put down of the decade delivered by none other than Monsieur Wenger
Hadn't actually seen that, only read excerpts.
Barak Obama..
Fergie is such a fecking champion.Absolutely love the outrage this has caused. fecking hilarious.
Fergie absolutely was out of order but the referee didn't deal with it. Another decision Dean got wrong.
He was only out of order by the standards of the holier than thou press and the sheep that lap up that sort of shit because they love a bit of outrage.
Dean himself, the only other person involved in the conversation, said he was fine with what was said.
Sadly in the world we live in, what happens on the pitch isn't enough anymore. Papers and news entertainment channels need more copy to keep them going through the week so week in week out we now get some 'outrageous' incident that ends up being discussed til the next game comes along, and people lap it up like puppies.
Be it handshakes, racism, sex, violence entertainment news and tabloid press are doing their best to create a bullshit soap opera around football to furnish them with more headlines.
