Alan Hansen, a Liverpool legend, writes at Telegraph: It is impossible for any team to play at their top level for 38 league games a season, but there is no reason why they can’t give maximum effort for 90 minutes in each of them. This is what has given United impetus at the start of [...]

Sir Alex Ferguson claims Michael Carrick holds key to club’s success
Sir Alex: Carrick can read the game and also play in front of the back four. If you look at the central midfielders in the Premier League, he can match up against any of them in terms of quality – the likes of (Luka) Modric, Yaya Toure, those are probably the best central midfielders and [...]

Sir Alex Hit Back at Suarez Claims
Following the Uruguayan claim, one of the reason Liverpool FC sacked Kenny Dalglish was the way he handled the row between Suarez and Evra (the main reason must be their position in the league table). Isn’t that obvious? Sir Alex thinks so.
SAF: I’ll Cut Ties with Football after United
Via The Telegraph: I will probably have an interest in Manchester United in some capacity of course but the important thing is to cut yourself completely off.

Sir Alex Ferguson calls for end to sick chants aimed at Arsène Wenger
Sir Alex: Manchester United and its supporters should know very well the chants that have been levelled at us over the years – ie songs about Munich [the 1958 air disaster] – and understand the sensitivity that is felt. I don’t agree with it at all. There’s enough to think about and admire in the [...]
Sir Alex: World Cup = Rubbish!
Sir Alex Ferguson and his thoughts on World Cup as quoted by Guardian: A lot of teams and a lot of players were disappointing at the World Cup.

We all fear being axed by Sir Alex Ferguson
Evra is one of our best player of this season and currently the best left back in the world (i’m biased, whatever!). He reveal how every United player are under pressure to be on the top of their game at all times and is constantly worried about keeping his place in the side: ‘This club is [...]
Nani Sorry for the Red Card
He should learn how to tackle, but he’s sorry for that: “After half-time, I spoke with the coach and he was unhappy with me. That is normal, as tackles like that are not permitted in the Premier League. I accept my responsibility for my actions, though they were not premeditated. I insist that my objective [...]
Fergie is OK with a Point and the Red Card
I thought the card could cost us the title (that was before Saha scored the 2nd goal), but our boss think otherwise: “We have gained. It was an important night and, with Everton winning against Chelsea, we have gained one point and one goal. It could be important point.” On Nani’s red card: “It was a sending [...]

Sir Alex related Links and Some Other Goodness
I found this rare emotional interview of Sir Alex at The Sun titled I’m Scared to Quit Football. Some excerpts: “Three things can make me stop. 1. My health. 2. If I don’t take pleasure any more. 3. If I don’t have the strength for new challenges any more. “Today, I am playing the penalty [...]

There’s a cool write up in the Official Site titled Celebs ask Sir Alex. Here are 3 of my favorites: You seem to be the object of more public speculation and criticism than any other manager has ever had before. How does it affect you? Simon Le Bon, singer (Duran Duran) I think it’s part [...]
Sir Alex Tops The Times Power 100
Following the money would have led us to an Arab sheikh. Or a man in a suit controlling sport from his seat behind a desk. But this has not been a rich list. It is The Times Power 100 and, among our criteria, we have measured the power to put bums on seats, to stir [...]
