Good article about Ferguson deigning to speak to the BBC again.

Mysteriously, when often nobody comments on Patrick's articles, there are already 5 comments, and one of them calling the article "bitter, twisted" is 25 in the green. Another reckons Collins is employed to be a "buffoon"- right paper, wrong columnist. Those agreeing with him are in the red.

What's the betting the article's been linked to on a thicko Man Utd forum?

They'll be dancing in the streets of Guildford tonight!

Better to be feared than loved!! You really don't like him do you? Jealousy ??

The inquisitor from Sky TV assessed the manager’s mood and served him up a slow full toss.
‘Did Andy Carroll do everything but score tonight?’ he inquired. Dalglish grunted a few unrevealing platitudes, and the deferential tone was set.

The player was found guilty and received an eight-match ban and £40,000 fine. An initial reading of the commission’s findings, published on Saturday night, suggests a scrupulously thorough and balanced process with an apparently appropriate sanction.
Yet through all this, Liverpool FC’s stance has been that of the affronted victim. Long before they saw the detailed findings, they called the decision ‘extraordinary’ and ‘incredible’.
They impugned the character of Patrice Evra. They allowed players and manager to parade in ‘supportive’ T-shirts, a piece of imbecilic posturing.

Dalglish himself plumbed the deepest depths when he tweeted: ‘Let’s not let him walk alone.’ It was a cheap and demeaning attempt to evoke the tradition of a great football club in the service of one who had been found guilty by the FA of a serious offence.

Far worse than the payments to players are the payments to football agents. Premier League clubs are currently handing over something in the region of £70m a year, every year, to these unspeakable chancers. This is money which is permanently lost to the game, paid out for trite and irrelevant services on a scale which a normal industry would not contemplate. But who's counting?

We were also told that it would prevent the major clubs forming their own, exclusive, league. The fact that only four or five clubs can even dream of winning the title rather scuppers that claim.
