After getting dominated by the best team in England, Man Utd supposedly had an incident in the dressing room. The Sun is reporting that while venting after the 0-2 loss to Arsenal, Alex Ferguson in typical cry baby fashion, kicked a boot which struck Beckham in the face and required stitches. What a joke. At least their fixture list is less congested.
but I thought Sir Fergie was relieved now that they can concentrate more on the Premiership and Champions League!
Sir Woody Hayes speaks: http://uk.sports.yahoo.com/030217/80/dtgen.html An "act of nature"? The man's crazy.
This is a perfect example of the difference between Wenger and Ferguson. I often hear non-Arsenal fans say that the two are more alike than different. Nonsense. Wenger has more class in his right ankle than Ferguson has/had/ever will have in his entire body. Huffing and puffing, kicking and throwing things doesn't make you a better manager.
comedic gold Hoo hoo hoo, ha ha ha!! This is too much, really it is. Spare me, my stomach is aching now! Oh that group of misfits and trogladitic cuckolds really are lighting into one another now! Some coincidental act of nature, all the more dichotomic as the wayward footwear found it's way to the flashest face in all of Britain, too much!!
"Sir Woody Hayes"? That's classic, although it should be noted that Woody only hit players on other teams. I guess now we all know who taught RvN to kick people, don't we?
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/headlinenews?id=258351&cc=5901 A brief history of their tumultuous relationship. All I know is that I'd hate to be called "vindictive" by a Spice Girl.
HA HA! Sir Drunken Alex finally lost it and there were repercussions. I hope Beckham sues SAF for potential damage to Beckham's image rights...
That's not true. The game that did him, he was doing a serious beating on his own player. I remeber it vividly. He took a linesman who was twice his size, grabbed his facemask, and repeatedly punched him in the face. It was, truly, astounding to watch. Hayes was a wretched man.
It was Charlie Bauman, a defensive lineman for Clemson, who made the mistake of catching a fumble in mid air and running directly to the Ohio State sideline, where Hayes helped him up, then sucker-punched him. '79 Gator Bowl, I think. And I feel terrible knowing that I have that much useless info floating in my head...
I'm not trying to take this off topic but was I seeing things or was David Beckham driving a Ford pickup truck to practice when they showed him on Fox Sports World report. WTF?
Changing the subject back to the topic at hand, I just got done reading the Sun's coverage of "Bootgate" (yeah, I know it's cheesy, but it's 2:30 in the morning), and it's really amusing: http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2002390000-2003080204,00.html The best part is the graphic the Sun created to illustrate what they believe happened. I love the expressions of the players over to Fergie's left. If I hadn't already downloaded the wallpaper from Arsenal.com, I'd be tempted to make this graphic my permanent background. Maybe in the offseason, when Becks goes to Madrid! There's another article in the Sun today with Arsene talking indirectly about the incident. The writer saw fit to say that AW could barely keep the grin off his face. All's I can say is, if he barely kept it off, he's got a lot more self-control than I do!
Priceless RvN winding up, swinging and (mostly) missing Keown: Funny. Giggs missing in front of goal: Unbelievable. SAF practicing free kicks of Becks head: Priceless. (After the shot he sposedly said: Good, now that's how yuh block a bloody free kick!) http://www.thesun.co.uk/picture/0,,2003080161,00.jpg
You guys are looking at the bad side. Think of the marketing possiblities. "Nike, the only boot good enough for Beckhams face" or "Pepsi, the cold compress used on Beckham after a Nike boot to the face" or (for MasterCard) "SAF kicking a boot into your face: Priceless".
I'm glad you guys went back on topic cos I didn't know what you were talking about! There's a pic of David Beckam's face on the front page of all British newspapers today! ha ha
After this kind of attack Beckham may ask for a tranfer Do we make an offer? Oh we covered that once before, sorry.
That photoshopped image on the Sun's site is COMEDY PLATINUM. I was actually thinking of making a composite similar to that, but there's no way mine would have turned out as well. As for the "Beckham should have been an American" sentiment, that's why I think Clint Mathis should play in the premiership. The English tabloids would LOVE a loudmouthed, flabby, beer-swilling redneck with a mohawk who still scores goals like crazy.
nothing wrong with DISCIPLINING PLAYERS (there is a difference between discipline and beating someone up) discipline is hitting someone a few times til they get it, beating someone up is getting carried away.
