The question of time to leave is less important than who will fill into his shoes.
He is the best manager in the business as far as i am concerned.
Only Fabio Capello, Carlos Ancellotti, Guus Hiddink and Vicente del Bosque can manage to wear the shoes Ferguson will leave.
19 titles in 19 seasons? Its highly remarkable.
Ferguson still has 1 or 2 seasons to prove his worth. He tried all he could this season of re-building cos 80 points cld have won United the title normally.
These days, Chelsea has raised the standard to a point where a Manager cannot afford to lose more than 2 matches in a season if he expects to win the league.
Man Utd cannot even think about sacking or replacing him cos his file is thick!

@ Akola,
U failed to add some other stupid things Henry does on the pitch.
No one will give Henry world footballer because he lacks the spirit of fair play in his football.
He criticises teammates openly,He is tempermental and sometimes unruly to match officials.

What wld u call the kind of free-kick he scored against Chelsea at highbury in Dec. 2004?
Ronaldinho, Ronaldo or even Zidane wldn't have done that and still expect to win World Footballer of the Year.
Henry cannot eat his cake and have it and he will forever be a second best.

His contribution to France is also Nil. He lacks the bite he has got in the premiership(Weak League) when he plays for his Country.
Ronaldo,Zidane and Ronaldinho always make impact wherever they play be it club or country.
Club performances alone does not make a player world's best footballer but Nairaland gunners are never objective.
They might soon compare Henry to Pele or Maradona.

France at 2002 World Cup(Defending champions who cld not even score a goal in 3 matches)
Chelsea at 2005/06 Carling cup (defending champions)
Argentina at 2002 world cup (A team with crespo,ortega,aimar and veron got booted out in the 1st round)

It wont be as rough as Mike Tyson.
I will be more clinical than Steven Seagal. Critically damaging tissues without leaving visible marks on their skin.
Prisscy will be my main target and maybe Lordimpaq if Arsenal does not bring UEFA cup to Highbury.

@ Akola,
I am an ardent fan of Man Utd. Its true they don't share me a penny but they do use my penny so i have the right to defend the integrity of the club i love so much. Let me deal with the few Arsenal roaches like Prisccy and Skintite.

@Priscilla,
The season hasn't been so disappointing for ma club. We have a title in the bag plus we remain number 2 on the league table.
Arsenal has not won anything yet and will be finishing 5th on the table if care is not taken. Should Barca thrash Arsenal,it will be a bitter pill to swallow.
It means there will be no title this season and u guys can only play in the uefa cup. What a shame?
U tell me, who should be hiding on the trees? Gunners r shameless and i still cannot fathom how u derive your joy in the most disappointing season Wenger has ever had. U lost 11 games in a season Vieira left Arsenal. How many games will u lose if Henry leaves next summer? Maybe 22!

@ Skintite,
I am going to keep mum about your comments.
U know the truth. U and I know Arsenal deserved less than they got this season in Europe.
Losing 11 matches in a season is definitely not a championship form.
Go on your knees and pray.

@Akola,
It seems u don't get the joke.
4Play simply implies all Arsenal fans are wankers.

A research institute @ Middlesex was responsible for that joke early this year.

Jose wont leave Chelsea.
He has won a lot in UK and besides i doubt if he wld achieve this feat anywhere else in the world.
No football club in the world will throw money around the way Chelsea does.
Real Madrid or AC Milan wld not watch it happen.
I think he is employing his mind games here.
Jose will stay until he can win UCL for Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho feels that rightful credit is denied him because of Chelsea's wealth.
Hucarson, however, is keen to remedy that.
Two of the Premiership's three worst signings this season, at a combined cost of £30million, are Mourinho's buys.
Shawn Wright Phillips-----------£21m
Del Horno--------------------------£9m

Y'all guys should not crucify me.
Arsenal does not deserve to be in this final especially when the likes of Chelsea, Man Utd and Liverpool have all been eliminated.
Listen, i overstand the fact that theres no 100% luck in football but there can be 60% luck and 40% hard-work.
Arsenal's European form is good cos they r winning but not enterprising as they play too cagey and it takes the shine off their game.
I still insist Arsenal's unbeaten run team is 1000 times better than these crop of players who pack the midfield and play boring tactics to win.
We shall see how far the tactics will go with Barcelona.
I am compiling the list of gunners that will take the stick shoulld Arsenal lose.
Only Nightrider seems to be a bit realistic abt the finals but others r drunk and blind to see the truth.
Priscilla will switch cos she's been claiming the 2 clubs ever since
One even compared Henry's free-kick against sunderland yesterday to Barcelona's match.
I am having a laugh.
C'mon Gunners, Be what u can be.

Ur comments here are simply malicious.
Man Utd played 0-0 draw with Middlesboro and so what?
The same Middlesboro thrashed Chelsea and Arsenal convincingly this season without controversies.
Did i hear someone say Arsenal did what United could not do to sunderland?
It shows u guys dont follow soccer cos United snatched 3 vital points off Sunderland earlier in the season.
Why don't y'all worry about ur disappointing position in the league? We r going to play UCL no matter what happens.
United only need to win their next home match to secure a second spot.
It aint sure for arsenal yet and should Barca demolish Arsenal, all y'all should scamper for safety cos i am going to taunt u till 2007/08 season.

All Chelski fans u see on this forum are all glory-hunters.
Even Akola-Jose Mourinho of Nairaland switched from Arsenal in early 2005.
I cant be fazed about their chants and stuffs.
Lets see what pans out next season.
I will be a red devil for life even if United relegates.

@ Cabali.
Leave those under-achiever gunner fans alone.
Nairaland's sports forum has 99.95% gunners so dont be offended when u see threads like this all tha time.
I cannot believe the number of Nigerians supporting such a dumb-ass club.
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww

@ Akola,
I am disappointed by your comments.
Ferguson won the premiership in 1999,2000 and 2001.
Go n check your records. It is now obvious you're not as sound as u have made yourself to be as a soccer fan.

Rooney's goal against arsenal won it for him. He is the best player of his age in the whole wide world.
Its true all players must send in their votes. The goal against Arsenal did increase his votes because a certain player nearly pipped Wayne to win the young players award.


Arsenal did not deserve to be in the final this season but these things happen in football.
The last game against Villareal is the worst champions league match ever witnessed in the history of european football.
Sometimes a team plays extremely well and don't win and sometimes a team scraps to win matches.
If u ask me,i must say arsenal of 03/04 season is 1000 times better than these crop of the present arsenal.
Maybe its their time to reign,who knows?

P.S. I am still fazed u don't know Fergie has done 3 in a row in the premiership.
Thats why he is the best MANAGER in the league.
       U disappoint me humungously

@ 4 play,
Even Arsenal fans know they dont deserve that final this season.
U gast to look at the previous seasons as well. Arsenal of 03/04 play the best football in Europe and they didnt make any impact in europe that season. They fell like the walls of Jericho so lets just assume luck has decided to shine on em this season.
Sometimes its when u dont read that u pass an examination very well.
The luck can only take em to the Finals as runner-up. They cannot win the Cup.

@ Jackal,
Ok son,
I am outta here.
Its bygones.

Sorry Prisccy, Anytime i keep mum, they keep pulling me in.
Its over.
Lets move on.

@ Menike,
How many bastards wanna get involved? I will shit on y'all ugly faces and ball.
This aint about u and ur interference will only critically damage ur brain cells. I have done enuff damage to u before but if u wanna join ur whores, i am down.
I wont watch all y'all human MUTTs take shots at me without fighting. I am prepared to rise to the challenge and kick all y'all asses.
Its gon be me against the fools who use Arsenal as an umbrella to slur ssshit on this thread.
Watch out for the onslaught, u ignorant bastard!

@ Prisccy,
U r the un-realistic one here. U have never seen such which goal? The goal Rooney scored against Lehmann won him PFA awards and has been rated the goal of the season. Carvallho's goal was a goal of simple counter-attack. 4 chelsea players against 2 Man Utd defenders. My pet dog would have scored better than Carvallho did so that aint an issue.
The match has been won and its been buried. Chelsea was a better side on the day. Whatz more? We took 3 points off each other.
We r stilll better than Arsenal that lost 6 points to chelsea and lost 4 points to United. So take a chill pill.

As for Sunderland, u should know football aint mathematics. Man Utd can struggle against a lowly rated team but didnt we beat the Gunners,Chelski and Liverpool on the same pitch? your point is invalid.
No one is jealous of Arsenal here. What have they won that United hasn't won before? Nuthing!
United is the team in England.  Should Mourinho win the title again next season, he will only equal Ferguson's recordz- he wldn't have broken it.
Arsenal should be ashamed because they have lost the throne in the capital city to Chelsea and Spurs.
Change your team now before the 17th. I will taunt u till kingdom come if u do not win UEFA-----your last chance.

Barca for life.
Barca the reigning king of european football.
Etoo, Dinho and Messi= future of attacking football.
GO BARCA GO BARCA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eminem is the best rapper alive out there now.
Ever since Pac n Biggie died, a lot of rappers have been trying to copy either one of em.
Eminem came into the scene in 99 with a different approach. His delivery and metaphors were top notch plus he is a deep lyricist.
He has conquered Rap and i think no rapper can match Em's lyrical skills right now.

Mukina(female king-kong),

Bitch please,u dont need to pour ya anger out on me. Had ur team won half the number of matches they lost,they wldn't have been in this predicament in the 1st place.
Where did u spring out from? An ornery looking she-gooner wanna fight me in a headlock?
The fact that ur team is the best in the world has confirmed ur state of lunacy. The best team in the world will finish 6th in their domestic league and will feature for the 1st time in a UCL final. Liverpool has won it. Man Utd has also won it and ur best team has just managed to get to the finals. Ur team is the best indeed.

Ma advice: Vent ur anger on Wenger cos he is a mugger. U stand no chance trading wordz wiv me cos i am gon' back-break ur torso.

What if u don't lift the cup?
No UCL next season.
Its a shame on all y'all. Tottenham fans will be wearing Barca Jersies on the 17th .
Go Barca Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Mukina2,
Your name sounds like a nasty lez or a transvetite.
Get a life and stop acting bitchy!
Ya future belongs to Sunderland and not Arsenal.

@Prisccy,

I dont understand what u mean by show of shame. The result didnt quite justify the game play and even Jose was quick to admit that.
Man Utd conceeded some cheap goals and they were punished. It was an away match and was always gonna be difficult.
The only team that should bury its head in shame is Arsenal who lost 2-0 at home to Chelsea.

I was happy with the performance of ma team cos they died fighting. Man Utd's midfield was their greatest undoing cos we all know John O'shea and Giggs were not natural midfielders. Makelele and Essien were always gon be favourites and the match was won/lost in the midfield.
Man Utd has won carling cup and Chelsea has lifted the Premiership title, can u tell me what Arsenal has won?
How wld u feel if ur team fails to make UCL next season?

I see fire on the mountain for y'all gunners.
I am going to reserve a Man Utd's application form for u in case u r switching clubs cos of ur love for Rooney n RVN.
Cheerzz

@ Prisccy,
Henry is a human being like y'all lots. It doesn't happen for em all the time. Sometimes the goals come,sometimes they fire blanks.
Dont be too bothered abt him. I suggest u should worry about Wenger's dodgy tactics.
He was always preaching against NEGATIVE football attitude of most teams in the premiership. Wenger criticised Chelsea, Bolton and many other clubs for always locking up defences by throwing more men than necesary.
It came as a shock Wenger is now doing the things he once condemned. What do u call that?

This is why i think love Man Utd is different from every other team in England. Utd fans wont just sit and watch Man Utd play boring and defensive formation. Ferguson always go for broke. If the team wins, they win and if not too bad.
Man Utd could have gone to the bridge to settle for a draw and play 3-6-1 formation on saturday but Ferguson knows United fans will not settle for less.
Dont let it surprise u Barca loves attacking like Man Utd too. The difference here is Barca's unbelieveable potency in its attack. I am yet to see any defence Dinho and Etoo cannot unlock in the whole wide world.
The best form of defence is too attack. If Wenger sits back hoping for miracle like the atch against Villareal then start singing asta lavista or simply scream voila!

@ La-Vivi,
Ya talk absolute rubbish and ur talk is cheap.
It is obvious 95% of Nairalanders r gooners so they seem to have the same bland opinions about their team.
Arsenal is toothless and wont do jerk at the Finals. Barcelona will beat,thrash,wallop and pulverise Wenger's defence with so much ease it might end up 5-0.
I wont be surprised if roach la_vivi joins Chelsea or Liverpool next season.
A team that has lost a staggering 11 league matches in a season is simply woeful. The team lacks balance and they struggle to push things beyond the finish line. Wenger's tactics r sometimes dodgy which makes Arsenal very inconsistent.
May 17th shall be the judgement day and i will rub shit on y'all gooners who dont keep ur filthy mouths shut abt ur disappointing season.
A team that cannot beat Chelsea and Man Utd think they can beat almighty Barcelona.


@Loverbwoy,
Your comments r simply spot-on.
Van Persie is one of the most outstanding player in Arsenal's ranks. He is a dutch and they always have eyes for goals just like the scientist himself,Dennis Bergkamp or goal-poacher Van Nistelrooy. All dutch players/managers love attacking(reminds me of Westerhof's days)
This is why i think Rijkaard's flair for attacking football will neutralise Wenger's dodgy 4-5-1 formation. Barcelona will throw in 3 attackers and should Messi regain his fitness, Arsenal will be bombarded with waves of attack.
Hard tackles won't help cos this is Europe. Any malicious kick on Dinho, Messi or Etoo will definitely attract a RED card. If u dont believe this, ask Del Horno of Chelsea.
Arsenal has a remote chance of winning the game if they come out and attack but if they play boring tactics like they have been doing lately, Barca will break loadz of hearts on Nairaland.
A word is enuff for 'em wise ones.

@ Akola,
No one predicted any downfall. People were just amazed how 18 point gap was reduced to 7.
I am sure u were worried too just like every normal human being.
Chelsea won the league because of the good start they had at the beginning of the season when they won their 1st 9 matches.
Everyone has given up as at February that Chelsea has won till Man Utd found their winning streak as well
I am happy for y'all Chelski fans. I am looking forward to next season already.
Enjoy ur moet n chanddon

The low point was Rooney's injury.
Did u see the worry on Chelski fans. No Rooney no England.
Ronaldo should be stripped for wasting so many chances.
Ferguson should buy 2 world class midfielders now that Ballack is joining Chelsea.
It will be different next season i guess.
We should not allow Jose to break United's record of 3 consecutive titles.
I urge Arsenal and Liverpool to also step up their game and rise up to the challenge.

In the mean time, The season has officially ended for me.
End of story!

@Jackal,
R u going to South Africa for the pre-season matches?
I just got ma tickets.
Holla @ me if u r interested.

Prisccy might not really suffer severe heart failures on the 17th of May.
U know gooners are good shock-absorbers.
Were u not surprised about the way they adjusted quickly after the Old Trafford demolision?
I wldn't have posted on this forum for months. They r shameless.
A team struggling to make 4th position in the domestic league is not just good enough.
I am not a fan of negative football so i dont really appreciate the gooner's progress in this year's UCL.
Arsenal is killing the game and Wenger accused this type of play against Chelsea and Bolton.
What a Arrow?

@ lordimpaq,
U must be trippin'
Did Gilberto mark Riquelme out in ur own opinion?
Why do u guys refuse to be objective.
Do u know Barcelona will beat Premiership's best 11 convincingly?
The only way Arsenal can win is if Dinho dies, Etoo catches AIDS and Guily fails a dope test before the UCL final.
Sorry mates,u guys have tried but i am afraid this is the end of the road.
I wld have been more optmistic if Arsenal faces Milan rather than Barcelona.

Dont always believe what u read on the dailies.
RVN is goin nowhere as Fergie has explained. He is part n parcel of the future of United.
The only likely player to be heading out is Quinton Fortune.

As regards to the Battle of the Bridge, United needs a victory to set things right for next season.
A Chelsea defeat wld rock the Bridge and might psychologically shift the football power back to the North of England.
United is a team that plays for Pride. I dont always stake my bet when United face weaker teams. I can honourably tell u a team like Enyimba will beat Man United.
Its few days away and i am sure u are going to see another outstanding perfromance from the wonder-kids: ROONEY n RONALDO

@ Nightrider,
Arsenal finally did it and yea they did it with style n grace.
I think Wenger has adopted Rafa's last season's winning formation of 4-5-1 which we all know its boring by Arsenal's own high standards.
Its working and a lot of people will not buy the idea because its negative but who cares?

Arsenal couldn't find their rhythm yesterday but they held their fort very well and i think Lehmann was very brilliant.
My question here is can this formation win the UEFA champions league against a team like Barca and Milan?
Arsenal has to come out and fight for it in the finals and this would leave the defence exposed to the threats of Ronaldinho/Etoo or Shevchenko/Kaka.

Any thoughts?

He intends helping his ssshit team to stay 5th on the Barclays Premiership.

@ Prisccy,
No cause for ALARM.
We r only trying to take jabs at Akola.
He thinks Chelski(Money-Bags) r demi-gods.
U should have noticed Akola always keep mum whenever Chelski fouls up.
He is at least better than Jose who called a fellow professional a Viewer
