Are we sure Sir Alex Ferguson is Scottish? After his little tirade about his players being ‘exhausted’ after their international duty I get the feeling that with this little bit of ungracious losing he is really an Australian. Oddly enough though, even they played like a bunch of muppets at Spurs and got a lucky point there, he did not mention the trip to the Middle East the team took to play in a meaningless game over there (sorry did I say meaningless, I meant ‘lucrative’). Teams go through these periods of getting poor results - all it takes is a few of those 50/50s to not quite go your way and then you drop some points, your confidence drops, which mysteriously means more of those 50/50s go against you…. Man U are going through on of these. Admittedly the whole Munich commemorations will not have helped, as much as you try to remain professional, they are still human beings and when confronted with the build up and nearly 80 000 people standing in silence with scarves raised aloft, it is going to affect their focus. However, in reality they were in one of these periodic mini-slumps before that. Spurs could and should have taken full advantage and City did take full advantage and they had a good quantity of their players away on International duty too. Will this be the end of Manchester United’s Premiership bid? Well that depends Read the rest of this entry »

So, the Mr Men are getting a 21st Century Makeover to appeal to today’s kids. The computer generated TV show now has Mr Strong looking more like a bodybuilder (although still red and not orange or wearing a thong apparently) and the one that has caused the most comment has been that Mr Rude speaks with a French accent and farts…. You have got to love this political correctness these days haven’t you 
When asked, a spokesman for the French ambassador to the UK refused to comment but a source at the French Embassy said:
“It is obviously meant in a light-hearted way but it won’t improve Anglo-French relations.”
They really are so rude aren’t they
