[b]Sir Alex Ferguson is the winner of the first managerial "Foot In Mouth Award".
To be fair, it was a close-run opening prize. There have been quite a few candidates already. But you just knew that as soon as Sir Alex - someone I have immense respect and admiration for - opened his mouth on the Eduardo diving affair, it would rebound on him. No-one could imagined it would have been so soon.
So, Sir Alex, you wouldn't tolerate diving, feigning a fall, or anything like the tricks those jolly old foreigners specialise in. Of course not.
I cannot wait for the Manchester United manager's take on the Wayne Rooney controversy at Wembley while playing in an England shirt. But don't hold your breath. I shall explain why.
Let's have a look at the early-season banter between Fergie and that front man for SpecSavers, Arsene Wenger.
Sir Alex was quick to condemn his old mind-game foe Arsene on the Eduardo affair. Remember what he had to say just days ago? Ferguson staunchly defended UEFA's decision to ban Eduardo da Silva for two matches for diving only days after Wenger reignited their longstanding rivalry by claiming that the champions went out to systematically foul his players at Old Trafford. for more news visit : http://unitedtemple..com/
