Ferguson got a lucky break, Manchester united sold out to foreign money and they gave him an open cheque book, up until then his record at MU was pretty ****, 1 FA cup in 5 years, only just beating Palace in a replay. After the money came in and he started breaking transfer records right left and centre it changed. It was bit like the SPL is going to be next year, one team (Celtic) has more money than most of the rest put together, the only difference is Cetlics money has been got through success rather than just being given it.


Have you been smoking crack ?
 
Taught the World how to play football ? Really ? Here we go with pub facts again , all I read there was mercenary Scots moved down South for the Queens shilling , not the first nor the last .
Football as we know it started in England , the dates mentioned there are late , there were many professional clubs by that period , you will be telling me the Scots showed the Brazilians how to play the game and not Southampton FC , we could talk about patents as opposed to inventions next .
Small man syndrome .
 
Have you been smoking crack ?

no, I just remember how crap they were intil they got there foreign money, they were so desperate to BUY success that they let any chancer who said he had money hold them up for ridicule until they got it. 'there's only one Micheal Knighton, one Micheal Knighton, there's only one Micheal Knighton', not even Chelsea or Man City whored themselves as much as United.
 
W hat a strange description of Man Utd and Sir Alex. What is your explanation of how Aberdeen beat Real Madrid in the Cup-winners Cup final when Fergie was there? Just curious.
 
Scotland will go down in History as the country who taught the world how to play the beautiful game and if you dont know what I am talking about.

The Scotch Proffesors what the modern game is based on!

Take it you never read the bottom paragraph or the whole article!



Oh I did , all that means is its been written or edited by a biased Scot , surprise surprise .
A Brazilian named Miller of Anglo and Scottish descent went to Southampton and learnt the game and rules of modern day football and took this knowledge back with him to Brazil .
These are the facts , don't let bullshite romantic notions of Scots showing the World football get on the way though.....
