Typical Germans?

[stoop]

Taken from 606 today - it's so true:

I love the fact that Fergie chose to blame a particular nationality for his side's defeat.

Of course, I don't blame him for trying to protect Rafael. The youngster played exceptionally until that silly shirt tug - which was clearly a yellow card - and doesn't need to be vilified.

And of course Fergie also wants to deflect any blame away from Carrick's rubbish performance and any possible questioning about his selection of a clearly still-injured Rooney.

Despite all of this, to blame the "typical Germans" is so anachronistic it is slightly embarrassing, not to mention factually incorrect.

I'm sure van Gaal, van Bommel and Robben (all proud Dutchmen) and Ribery (French) will have had a chuckle upon hearing themselves being labelled "typical Germans" by a ranting Scot with a knighthood!

There was also a Turk playing with the typical Germans!!

Even the most diehard Man United fans [the ones that hail from Essex and Surrey] most be embarrassed by the amount of tat he has come out with this year.
Its one thing to protect your team or certain individuals but he has excelled himself this season and is a poor example of a man who cannot take defeat graciously.

If Wenger was to say what Fergie said about the Germans the papers would be having a field day. It is easier for Fergie to say what he likes as he will not face the press anymore.Only 4 papers are allowed at his Friday press conference as he has banned the rest because they have written something that he does not like. He will not talk to the TV after a domestic match. He has intimidated referees and linesmen for years. This season he has given a number of referees an earful and the FA has done nothing about it. He thinks he is the law in English football.

  Its his age, hope he at least enjoyed Aintree today,and watched the match tonight,might even pop into Rooney's ma's for a cuppa.

He had a big winner at the races and the did say "nobody died last night" so maybe he had mellowed overnight.

But you must always remember that he is a Scot, and no matter how much practice we get, we hate getting beat with a passion.
