Fergie's Gone Too Far

What do you describe the greatest manger to ever manager in club football? Great, magnificent, God, okay maybe God it's a bit far fetched, but he will be remembered as the Messaih to the footballing world, and at United he's made one of the best clubs in the world today, this is harsh confession to make as I'm an Arsenal fan. But his book has caused a huge stir which really I don't like.

In my generation and the generation of football fans that have followed football since the 90's they will tell you Fergie was the best coach that has graced this globe. But to me he's just a bitter man that has waited to retire to take a harsh snipe at his players, which to me is a form a weakness. Okay he's said it before but not in the horrible context he's put it.

Calling out Keane like the way he did in his book was just out of order. Fergie did the right thing in releasing him for his harsh comments on his fellow players back in 2005 when United lost to Middlesbourugh.But to slander him in the way Fergie did was disgraceful. Keane whose known for his controversial antics as well his sharp tongue more than the great works he did in the United midfield gave 100% in that united shirt and Fergie owes this guy his life after the heights Keano took them.

When I heard how Sir Alex's book caused a storm, I was thinking it's just Alex being Alex but when watching the Champions League the other day and seeing the snippet of what Keane thought of his ex manager's book. who echoes my point that  "It doesn't bother me too much what he has to say about me, but to constantly criticize other players at the club who brought him a lot of success I find very, very strange. But I certainly won't be losing any sleep over it."It made me think that in every great football team, that's won silverware the players make a good manager, we all know that with out a good quality players you cant win anything. So for Fergie to slander players who have given him a great service and won him trophies over the space of many years is just unjust, no matter what the players did, at he end of the day they won you trophies. And he's right what he said in the interview Fergie knows no meaning of the word loyalty.

His attack on David Beckham is the one that really shocked me, to be honest till this day I felt that Ferguson dealt with situation poorly. He claims that Becks was more interested in his fame than his football, this statement I will always disagree with as Beckham always put his football FIRST, Beckham doesn't and never did want the fame. The fame came to him when he married Posh, your obviously going to be in the fame hunt and in every newspaper if your dating a Spice Girl!!!! It's not rocket science! It shocked me when he said that Beckham wasn't a great player when hes was at the club and his fame distracted him from legendary status at Old Trafford. This to me is a ludachris statement Beckham who I never really highly rated will always be there with the legends of football with his great passing & crossing and his explosive free kicks that haa become a sort of cult in the game. You tell me that a shy, humble likable guy like Becks whose dream was to be a player, who has put football on the map and who gave United a loyal service who still has had love for the club since he was a child is fame hungry?   
      
I can't wait to read the whole book, take away his legendary status and the service he's given to the game in the last 3 decades and a half . Fergie has gone a tad bit far you don't criticize and diss players that have won you trophies and that have kept in the job. But hey that's just me lol    

Too Many Wingers

If you's ask me what's the most dangerous position on a football pitch, I would say there are two the attacking midfield position and the right & left winger role, where the midfielder plays in the hole behind the strikers/striker but not many teams play with the attacking mid position. So I would say it's the flanks where both the right winger and the left winger can cut in, send crosses and scores goals. And for the first time the England team are blessed with many as I was watching Andros Townsend rip it up on Friday I thought to my self Hodgson has a real headache on his hands, he has so many wingers to choose from before they go to Brazil. Which they will when they beat Poland tomorrow, With good talents such as Walcott, Young, Barkley, Townsend, Sterling, Chambo and Norwitch new kid on the block Redmond, England have a real blessing disguise that not many national sides have in world football. If Townsed carries on having a good season for Spurs and puts in more displays like he did on Friday for the 3 Lions than he will be on that plane to Samaba City. But Hodgson who highly rates Milner for some funny reason, we the public will never know will always pick the Man City utility player who doesn't play much since he left Aston Villa. I have nothing against Milner  I feel he's a decent player who has a bit of skill and a good cross on him. So does Matt Jarvis who plays for West Ham but does he get recognition for England? So why should Milner who is not really considered in Man City's first team? In my opinion I think Hodgson should take Young, Chambo, Walcott and maybe Towndsend/Barkley/Sterling with those 4 wingers in any team. England can be world beaters and destroy full backs at ease and create massacre of attacks with their width in world football.

Represent Your Culture And Your Roots Not Where You Live

It's like we as people, many sports personality and even footballers don't want to represent where we are originally from and betray our roots. This is what Adnan Januzaj would be doing if he chooses to plays for the three lions, the guy is Belgian who has Kosavan decent and is not even a hint of English so why should he be playing for England? Just because you have an English passport doesn't mean you have the right to represent, this seems harsh but I'm a proud Nigerian whose lived in this country my whole life and a proud British citizen that grew up in this great city of London but if I'm an up and coming professional then my dreams would be to represent Nigeria because I'M NIGERIAN, I was brought up the Nigerian way, followed the Nigerian culture so I'm not English. This is the problem with sport and mainly football there's a big difference from being from somewhere and having naturalization in the country of where you work or where you was born. Plus if Januzaj was to represent England there would be darker times for this nation then there already is. They would be sending out a message that as long as your good and you have an English passport your good enough to play for the squad and neglecting the players that were born and raised here and have more of a right to represent. We've had many cases of players from different countries who represented the nations they grew up in like Senna who played for Spain, Eduardo who plays for Croatia and Zaha who plays for the England under 21's, Mo Farah, and even Kevin Peterson who had no right in attacking Jackie Boy whose points were spot on this week. In my opinion I agree with Jackie boy's comments only English players and the English should be playing for England I don't see the top nations like Brazil, Italy or even Spain recruiting people of another decent to represent their nations only on a few exceptions. People say that because they (sports people) have a British passport they should represent Britain, but I disagree you should represent the nation of your roots and your ancestors plus the culture you was brought up in.
