Knight Of 1000 Games Pt 2

So it has been some weeks since the "Battle Of The Buffet" at Old Trafford between Man Utd and Arsenal and the teams were re-united this week for the Carling Cup. The next day our favourite Knight is still going on about that game even though his team won the cup fixture. He was quoted as saying "At least we know how to lose. I will never forget our supporters staying to applaud Arsenal when they won they Championship at Old Trafford". Well, if that is true, Man utd supporters are all identical, made of red plastic and don't have any hands to applaud. All I saw on the television coverage was Arsenal celebrating in front of their supporters whilst virtually every other seat in the stadium was empty. I remember it well because I was thinking to myself Our supporters (Liverpool) would not have left without applauding the Champions. Go back to the famous night at Anfield when "it was up for grabs" and Michael Thomas poked the ball home in the last minute. I was at the game and stayed to applaud the new Champions despite the fact we had lost the league on "goals scored". What is worse about Ferguson's comments are that he is allowed these quotes to re-write history according to him and is allowed to get away with it. Roll on his retirement.
