When we beat the Arse 4-2 at Highbury didn't he say something along the lines of "there are no wimps in my team".
Also when Cristiano Ronaldo signed his 4 year extension some journo asked him if Ronaldo would ask for a transfer in 2 years to play for Real Madrid so that he could be closer to home. Its seems SAF kept quiet for some time and the rest of the Press thought the journo was going to get a hairdryer when SAF said with a quizzical look "but the lad's not from Spain - he's from Portugal"

Man Utd boss Ferguson wowed Spurs fans with clever touch

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson wound back the years on the touchline at White Hart Lane on Saturday night.
The Daily Mail says Ferguson was chewing gum in his technical area when the ball came spinning out of the sky towards him.
With a touch he killed it and rolled it back down the line with his right foot. It draws a murmur of appreciation and a couple of gasps from Tottenham fans who sit close to the benches at White Hart Lane.
Ferguson turned to give them a little nod and half a smile, then said: "Not bad, eh? Don’t worry, I’ll never lose it."
Anyone actually see this?

I could have sworn the offside quote about Pippo was from Cruyff. Interesting.
Now this is just brilliant:
47. “I used to have a saying that when a player is at his peak, he feels as though he can climb Everest in his slippers. ..."

great stuff. a lot easier to read, and understand, than to hear him speak it himself.
Gary Neville, check the milkman
One of his earlier quotes I saw on a video explains a lot about his relationship with the media. It was in response to criticism over his protection of a young Ryan Giggs. He said. " One minute they will have their hand around your shoulder, next minute they will stab you in the back"
How true.
How true.
One from the last couple of days and an absolute belter, I must say:
"Some guy at the weekend said this was the worst United team in years. That was a beauty. Maybe it is. Maybe we'll only win the league."
The guy in question being Mark Lawrenson, which I'm sure he knew.

On Marcelo Lippi:

"...so good-looking he makes the rest of us look like Bela Lugosi."

This made me laugh. It's from Gary Neville's book, about the teamtalk Fergie gave before the 1996 F Cup final (when Liverpool wore cream coloured suits before the match):
Brilliant...I should really give that book a read.
