Tears and Tantrums at We Hate Rafa United!
Oh dear. It's all getting a bit much for some init.
Most notably Sir Ferg who this week decided to jump, skip an a hop to the defence of newly founded BFF Sam Alladyce after Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez appeared to make some not very nice hand gestures not actually noticed by anyone apart from Sir Ferg and said Sam (and me, actually, but I only noticed cause I thought I actually seen Rafa Benitez smile and nearly fell off me chair) during Liverpool's 4-0 drubbing of Blackburn at Anfield.
Being all noble and proper and right and such Sir Ferg used his time during a pre-match press conference for the FA Cup semi-final in which Liverpool weren't even playing to voice his concerns over that BIG MEANIE Benitez.
"Arrogance is one thing." Sir Ferg said. "(but) you cannot forgive contempt."
"When Liverpool scored their second goal he (big meanie Benitez) signalled as if the game was finished."
Which it wasn't since Liverpool had two more goals to score, obviously!
The ever so noble Sir Ferg then went on to tell everyone who'd probably stopped listening at that point that "Everton ARE a big club."
To which he then went about showing the world just how un-arrogant and above contempt he is by letting Ron and Roo have the day off in favour of 'tov posh to kick' and some random kids he picked up outside of OT to play a bit of kick about at Wembo.
I'm not being funny, but I reckon Sir Ferg couldn't have been more un-arrogant and above contempt if he'd of walked up to Moyes and instead of shaking his hand, grabbed a big glob of chewy out of his mouth and shoved it his eye!
Moyes' marvellous mind games
Adding more weight to the claim that he should be the one to replace Sir Ferg at OT when someone gets off with his everlasting stash of chewy, David Moyes played some marvellous mind games after he banned the Beeb from his FA Cup semi-final press conference for fear of influencing head on stick ref Mike Riley, cause he is from Leeds so is obviously a Manchester United fan.
This turned out to be a cunning move on Moyes' part after head on stick failed to give United a penalty that could have won em the game, although we reckon Ferguson was probably more angry due to the fact that Moyes thought of getting to the ref before he did.
Wolves hit the big time......for a bit
Mick McCarthy has told reporters he was 'beaming on the inside' after Wolves became the first Championship side to be promoted to the Prem (not the first EVER, just for this season, obviously).
At the moment its all 'yahoo' and 'ra ra' the ever upbeat McCarthy said. "I'll feel it more when we wake up tomorrow...at six o' clock on Saturday morning I was varnishing the garage."
Which were guessing is exactly what he will be doing at 6am on the 5th of May 2010 when they get relegated.
Pepe goes off the deep end!
It you thought tov posh to kick's penalty in the FA Cup semi-final was bad, check out the 'hilarious' antics of Real Madrid's resident loop Pepe that led up to this Getafe miss that could actually be described as more horrific than Pepe going off the deep end after kicking one player and punching another!
Heard!
"Jimmy knocked my screen and Drogba fell over." Phil Thompson on Oscar for Drogba's diving after the Chelsea v Liverpool Champions League clash.
Barton is a bad boy, again
Newcastle's 'troubled' player Joey Barton has been in 'trouble' again this week after he was caught out for ALLEGEDLY bunking on a train.
According to reports, Barton told officials he didn't have time to pay for the 30quid for a ticket to an unknown destination.
"He claimed he didn't realise he had to have a ticket before getting on." An obviously reliable source told The Sun "But there are notices everywhere saying you can be prosecuted if you don't."
Passengers who recognised the star said they were most surprised by the incident, not due to the fact that he was caught, but that he was reading a book.. and due to the fact he didn't read the big red signs stating 'PLEASE PAY TO RIDE THIS TRAIN' were presuming he was probably reading it upside down.
Becks has a laugh with Ancelotti
David Beckham has revealed Chelsea target Carol Ancelotti has been learning English all season.
The AC Milan coach is Chelsea's top target to take over Hiddink but there have been concerns that Ancelotti's English is not up to scratch!
But Beckham, on loan at Milan from LA Galaxy, said: "When I arrived at Milan, Ancelotti was already studying English. Every time I try to fix his English, he insists on making errors and we end up laughing."
Presumably due to the fact that Ancelottic is probably wondering just what language Beckham is actually speaking!?

'Arry Redknapp quote of the week
"The Bournemouth manager, John Bond, signed a player called Milko Millman. We thought he was a foreigner because he came from Jersey. He came for a month's trial and to be honest there was another reason behind the deal. At the time you couldn't get tomatoes anywhere - when Milko turned up he had with him a whole box for the manger."
'Arry Redknapp on his playing days where people couldn't afford tomatoes, he had to walk to school five miles in the snow with no shoes on while using the Readers Digest for shin pads...probably!
