thegoodjoehunt: The defenders thought he would cross to the guy (Welbeck - you can't even spell his name) that is not a threat to score and left the hottest player/ EPL highest goal scorer that is closer to the post. That is not true.

Anyigala: Rio Ferdinand and his fellow black players got it so wrong. By chosing not to support the campaign, they have done more harm to the cause than good. I am sorry to say this but Ferdinand is not the brightest person around.

They failed to see the bigger picture here, EPL and FA has done so much to fight racism in football than any other country in Europe and should be supported not undermined by some childish militancy from the people that should be throwing their weight behind it.

Terry's case was different because he denied that he made a racist comment. FA took the Captainship from him even before they heard his case. They allowed the police to press charges of which if had been convicted would have resulted to a more severe punishment both from the law and FA. However, he won the case and the FA still punished him after the court had acquited him. To bury the matter, he accepted their verdict and issued an apology.


When Man U sack him i will like him to go to Italy or Spain, there he will see how far England has come in tackling raicism in football and the society in general.

vislabraye:

That's a funny reason don't you think so? Is Nation's cup an annual event?
Even the black player(Evra) playing in his team is not highly regarded as the other players. How much does he earn?

thegoodjoehunt: the truth is that SAF isn't racist but is preferential to some players and doesn't like African players. You can tell by how he nurtured Giggs and Scholes. Kicking out Yorke and Andy Cole. The way he plays Welbeck(Who is black) and leaves Chicarito(who is white) on the bench. That is because Welbeck is English. Finally the way he treated Mame Biram Diouf was too bad, that is because he is African

A-ZeD:

SAF does'nt buy Africans because of Nations cup.

bermuda1:

Where did they get people like this from? You make an argument and counter your own argument in the same sentence. Btw Andy Cole is english as well. Giggs and Scholes were academy players and never bought unlike Yorke and Andy Cole

thegoodjoehunt:

Maybe this is your problem. "That is because Welbeck is English", okay I'll rephrase it better. "Maybe because he is english". Hope that is better.

bermuda1:

what is your point exactly? SAF is not even English

BrutusOj: if racists re to be fished out in Nigeria,I tink 98% wud be goten from Nairaland.I have gone tru all d coments on dis tread.Some of u can't just xpress ur opinion witout insultin ppl.pls,kindly learn to type witout insults..haba

thegoodjoehunt:

Okay British, by the way I am not saying he is doing it based on nationality. I was replying your comment. You said I contradicted my self.

All I am saying SAF has his problems that make him look racist but he isn't. You can tell from when Carlos Queiroz coached Man Utd on two occasions. When Carlos Queiroz came in the first time - You had players like Djemba Djemba, Fortune, Kleberson, Veron including Young Ronaldo. When he left to Real Madrid(ie Queiroz), Ferguson kicked out most of them. It wasn't a racial move but his preference of players.

Second coming of Queiroz we had players like Nani, Anderson, Tevez, Fabio and Rafael, Rodrigo Possebon, Adem Ljajic. When Queiroz went to coach Portugal, many were dropped from the team.

I am saying SAF isn't racist but prefers some players to others.

rhema4u: I stand to be corrected, am not a United fan... Buh, when was the last time an African played under Ferguson Song just left arsenal, Newcastle has Africans, Chelsea does, Wedt brom too, Mancity has the Toure Brothers, United which? Ferguson should not kill ferdinand Oº°˚˚°ºO....#kickracismout ni..#kickracismout ko. Mtchewww.

1025:

my brother, it is quite unfortunate that we find ourselves here but epl is crap with a lot of fraudulent decisions here and there. i am a chelsea fan yet, i demand to know why fa had to wait this long before deciding terry's man unlike the way saurez issue was handled. again, u want to kick out recism, henderson costed liverpool 20 million, torres - 50 million while demba ba is at 7 million. kick out ferguson because he is the chief racist in england.

thegoodjoehunt: I'm fully with you guys. It is not about wearing a T-Shirt but imposing stricter rules.

By the way, Van Persie's goal yesterday was totally fixed. Five players ran away from RVP for Valencia to cross to him. That is by the way the highest goal scorer in the league. EPL also needs match fixing investigation also. Dirty league.

1313: why are you the only one saying this unfounded statement? Why will five players run away from a player so that He can score? That is the worst Kind of match fixing that can ever happen but it's bad dat it happen inside your mind cos I watch that match throughout n there was nothing like that. Pls reason properly

cheddarking:

And you're point is?

Is there any Manager anywhere that doesnt have his preferred set of players?

kunleee: @thegoodjoehunt, [b]because you live here in nigeria and lack relevant knowledge about history of man utd and its england base fan[/b]s,..there joy is always to see a home grown talent(from the academy) play in the first team.its what saf meant on groung,its philosophy and history of the club...reason for yorke/cole at the expense of scholes/giggs, evans/welbeck at pique/chicharito expense.. For rossi,he is demanding first team too much when he has not proven himslf before,just like pobga case. Believe me,saf is the best among these coaches in man(players) management,he tried to absolve them away from the damaging publicity so that their career could last long.

What about the philosophy and history of the club for academy players. By the way in the Rossi/Solksjaer scenario, was Solksjaer from the academy?

Please with your relevant knowledge and history of Man Utd, how many of the starters were home grown. You don't need to be in England to know the history of Man Utd. It was preference and not because they are from the academy. Just like his relationship with Evra and his relationship with Heinze. He knew Heinze was top quality when he bought Evra. He started given Evra more games. When Heinze wanted to go to Liverpool, he fought and refused him going. Then sold him to Real Madrid. He knew he was good but he preferred Evra. Evra wasn't from the academy. I am not saying SAF isn't a good coach or not a good man manager but he has the preferential behavior that make people sense him as a racist.

Finally MUTV, different websites etc contain a lot about the history of Man Utd. You don't need to live in England to know the history of Man Utd.
