Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson shrugs off Sergio Aguero claims

ALEX FERGUSON has hinted foreign players only have themselves to blame if they are not treated fairly by Premier League referees.
After Manchester City failed to get what he believed were two cast-iron spot-kicks at Fulham on Saturday, Sergio Aguero said he felt English players had “privileges” which were not available to outsiders.
Ahead of Manchester United’s Champions League encounter with CFR Cluj, it was a debate Ferguson did not want to enter.
However, the Scot suggested the Premier League’s foreign legion are the architects of their own downfall.
“As a subject it is not worth going down because we have known for quite a few years there are plenty of players diving and, you have to say, particularly foreign players,” said the United boss.
Ferguson was grumbling at the treatment of Nani at Old Trafford on Saturday.
The Portugal winger went down under a first-half challenge from Jan Vertonghen, only for referee Chris Foy to wave away the spot-kick claims.
Three days on, Ferguson stands by his belief it was a penalty.
And he was happy to excuse Nani of any accusation of diving.
“Nani is not the type to dive,” said Ferguson. “He has never been that type of player.
“It was a penalty kick on Saturday. Sometimes you get them, sometimes you don’t.
“From the referee’s position it was difficult because there were plenty of bodies in front of him. The linesman could have helped him but he didn’t.”

more proper bollox later ....

DIY got every big call spot on in the rag game. Baconface is adding to his cuntiness.

The architect of gamesmanship in England who is a fucking foreigner himself blaming foreigners for diving in the English game while exempting one of the biggest foreign divers in the league who is coincidentally not the biggest diver in the team he manages as an Englishman tops the fucking lot, he goes by the name Ashley "the malteser headed diving cuntstain" young.

Rooney gives Young a run for his money ... but both are bigger divers than Nani by far, which is saying something because Nani flops to the ground at the hint of a breeze. Doesn't change the fact that 2 of the biggest divers in the team are English. totally demented old man.

Anyone seen the Spuds post-match interview with Baconface? Not concerned that they conceded three sloppy goals at home, not concerned that RvP would rather shoot over from an acute angle than to play in Wooney for a tap-in. "The biggest disappointment was the timewasting" The fool calculated that there should have been 6min added for subs +then some but they only added 4, I laughed so hard I spat my food out

Nani is not the kind of player to dive? What? Let's not forget Ashley Young then and former Rag Christina. Memory loss, I guess.

Pissed-up old twat has forgotten what welbeck did in the Wigan match. It must be hard when your neurones start to pack up.

Remember kiddies, alcohol abuse is bad for you.

Old Baconface had a row with a Sky Journalist yesterday afternoon, at the conference in Cluj.

Something about a golf game.

Interesting stuff. Learn something new everyday.

But point to any company/brand and you are probably pointing at a bunch of morally repugnant cunts.

Paul Smith does the suits for the scum.....my tailor in Mcr does all the fittings. I had a look at one when I was in there last time just pre-season....ours are better as you might expect.The lining on theirs and the insides of the shirt cuffs are all printed with United stuff rather than his usual multicoloured stripey stuff

of course mate.
Last weekend my girlfriend and I were at a wedding reception, got totally pissed and ended up at my friend's house for a night cap. My friend and his wife are Everton fans, and Ana and I were in the living room sipping some more wine when two of them showed up in their Everton shirts.
I got goose bumps all over while telling my woman: Prepare yourself woman, we're about to get raped by fucking everton fans hehe

after that, my buddy told me the story about Hugo boss and the nazis. thats it.
