Ferguson breaks silence to praise Arsenal!
The Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has broken his self-imposed media black-out to speak about Arsenal’s title challenge. Man United, as a club, decided to stop speaking to the media before the 3-1 loss to Liverpool because they did not like how Ferguson’s post-match comments about referee Martin Atkinson were reported after the Chelsea game, which the Red Devils lost 2-1.
But Ferguson has broken the silence to speak about Arsenal, reports ESPN. He said of the Gunners: “Last season they faded around the February to March period to leave Chelsea and ourselves in a two-horse race that saw us pipped at the post by a point”.
Ferguson was surprised to see Arsenal beat expectations once again. He said: “I think most pundits expected to see something similar this season, plus a challenge from Spurs and Manchester City to make it even more difficult for Arsenal to get back up to the top”
He continued: “But Arsène Wenger and his players have rearranged the pecking order somewhat to come storming through to lie in second place. Clearly they represent the main danger to us achieving our ambitions in a revival of the rivalry of a few years ago, and I am sure they regard us as the major threat to their hopes”.
Manchester United face Arsenal in the quarter-final of the FA Cup on Saturday at OldTrafford.

Whatever is wrong with soccer these days I don’t know…Tuesdays match was full of bias,to say the least…not only the ref but also UEFA.How could they not see what the rest of the world was seeing…I bet their plan worked out well…The ref was a disaster waiting to happen from kickoff to final whistle…Piece of advice to Boosucker…if you have to cheat,especially in a big deal like that one of Tuesday night,please be smart enough not to do it wen over 10 billion eyes are looking at you…surely,even kids do better…ain’t you that smart?
