Okay then, you can get the views and comments from Ferguson, Redknapp and Sam from hundreds of different sources other than the BBC. I think they are all well within their rights not to talk to people that in their opinions made up lies about them. I'm sure if people really want to hear what they say they can find their comments elsewhere including children and it's not as if no-one from each club talks to them it's just the manager, you still get to hear from all the players and the assistant manager who basically says the same thing that the manager would say. It's not as if it's damaged any of the managers reputations either, in fact those three are probably the most respected managers in the premiership. If a company made up comments about me that could threaten my career i would definitely not talk to them.

Go on Russ I could do with a laugh, compare your league cup victory with being European Cup runners up again

that was the first time you had been in the final of the European Cup so it wasn't again i'm afraid

still getting to that final IS harder than winning the League Cup

They are well within their rights as are ordinary members of the public to take their business elsewhere, its no wonder where the players get their ego's and attitudes from is it, especially when one of the managers in question openly admitted in a newspaper interview that he accepted a bung/ gift of over a million pounds and if a company made groundless comments about me they would find themselves in court, wonder why the BBC haven't?

Toure - probably about £250,000
Eboue - £1.3m

Seems a pretty good deal, really, compared with Oops-There-Goes-The-Ball Rio Ferdinand.

Wasn't Senderos £2.5Mil?

That must be the proverbial 'you' because I support one club, only one and it's not Arsenal

I don't remeber that happening, do you have a source for that, if your story is true i would have thought Fifa would have done something about it.

Yes and it's strange why niether the FA or Fifa have followed up on the programme about Ferguson and his son.

The source is Harry Redknapp's own mouth, when we sold Rio to Leeds Terry Brown made him a 'gift' of a million pounds for aiding his development, at the time fans rightly imo, thought it was hush money because he was annoyed about the transfer one moment and brushing it of the next, when the FA saw the interview in the News of the World IIRC, they said they would hold an investigation as they classed it as a bung, nothing seems to have been done about it, maybe they have forgotten!

League cup victory AND coming second in the premiership. Question: what did Arsenal's trophy cabinet have at the end of the season that it didn't have at the start?

Answer: nothing.

All you had in yours was the League Cup, a competition the real big boy's play their kids in, even Liverpool with no real prospect of winning anything this year couldn't be bothered, say's a lot.

Runners up in the premiership to the guys who bought the title, hmm, not much of a success there eh?

Didn't we all have this argument before? :rolleyes:

If i remember correctly we actually played our second team for the majority of the cup run anyway.
