Typical Germans

Typical Germans’ ensured we lost, claims Man Utd’s typical Scot

Typical Scot Sir Alex Ferguson was last night angered by Bayern Munich’s players as Manchester United crashed out of the Champions League on away goals, citing their behaviour as ‘typically German’.

The Germans stand accused by Ferguson of going about their business in a ruthlessly efficient manner, and seeking to exploit the weaknesses of their opponents at every available opportunity.

“It’s typical of the Germans,” said Ferguson after the match.

“Pretending to be all nice when secretly they were doing everything in their incredibly effective soul-destroying powers to knock us out of the competition.”

“Passing the ball around so efficiently, putting it on our net when they wanted to. It’s all so typically German, don’t you think.”

“They also definitely told Rafael to make two silly and completely unnecessary challenges, ensuring he was sent off. Bloody Germans.”

“The way they made sure the referee knew it was his second booking was ruthlessly, and definitely not the sort of thing you see week in week out from my players.”

Victory


Bayern Munich Manager Louis van Gaal claimed his side’s victory was well deserved, and that Ferguson was simply reacting like a typical Scot.

He told reporters, “We deserved to win by virtue of scoring more goals away from home, it is a simple equation. Ferguson is just being typically Scottish.”

“If there’s one thing the Scots are famous for, it’s being gracious in defeat. That, and passing on good wishes to their victors. And their passive nature. Oh, hang on…”

“Look, I’ll just be glad if Ferguson stops making drunken abusive phone calls to me before the semi-final.”

It's all nonsense. All the top clubs are bad losers. There's always an excuse.

I'm glad the semi finals have gone back to what the essence of the European Cup should be ie teams from 4 different countries, not the English domination it had become. Frankly I was sick of it.

I reckon Barca will win their tie (just) but I couldn't call the other one. bayern if I had to stick my neck out.

But I wish Ferguson would button it for a change. Perhaps if he'd signed a decent striker to stand in if Rooney got injured, he may have nothing to moan about. I think last night just showed Utd have very little about them if Rooney gets injured

Messi is just absolutely unbelievable. Inter will need an unstoppable defence to stop that b*stard.

As for Bayern/OL, I'm going for a Bayern win.
