Ferguson backs Milan to beat Reds
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes Liverpool have no chance of beating AC Milan in the Champions League final on 23 May.

Milan beat United in the semi-finals to set up a repeat of the 2005 final, which Liverpool won on penalties.

Ferguson told the Sun: "I'd bet for sure that Milan will win the Champions League. I'm absolutely certain of it.

"I told their manager Carlo Ancelotti at the end of our semi-final that there is no way he cannot win it now."

Ferguson plans to toast Milan's victory with a bottle of wine given to him by Ancelotti after his side had lost in Italy.

I'm still trying to analyse the factors involved but the truth remains we faced one of the best performances in the history of AC Milan

Sir Alex Ferguson

"Carlo gave me a magnificent bottle of wine," Ferguson added. "But I immediately told him I would only drink his wine once I see him lifting the Champions Cup."

The United boss admits his team were outclassed in the second leg of their semi-final, which Milan won 3-0.

"Milan's second-leg victory over us was stupendous, fantastic and extraordinary," Ferguson said.

"Last week, Milan were fresher and better prepared tactically and physically.

"I'm still trying to analyse the factors involved. But the truth remains we faced one of the best performances in the history of AC Milan."

What else will he say? eeh?
He said that so after Milan wins he would say that he lost from the bast and if he didnt play them in the Semi then he would have met them in the final.
Thats from a manager who wanted to win the champions league with one away win (yes one out of 6 away games) which was against Lille (remember the free kick).
Won the Prem (lost more games than chelsea!!) C. Ronaldo Dives like no ones business in everyones box and get penalties here n there.
They give Everton a keeper on loan then Everton signs him but still not allow him to play!! Abit like West Ham innit?!?! then beat Everton with goals that (only god knows how they scored them goals!!?? with the help of the keeper and an EX manc).
Just piss off Fergie.
PS: He aint gonna sleep till he gets Owen & Berbatov (ya'll see).
Sorry for changing the subject.

you're right - this was very dodgy indeed. particularly the financial incentives offered to Everton as part of United winning the title. (see the otehr thread)

Can you elaborate on that?

I thought he was genuine! So you think he is playing "the fair guy" card?

Well I'm sure he was sincere....you could see it in his face that he knew he had to accept it when United were 3-0 down; also given the fact that Fergie loves good wine, and also that it was given as a probably 'cheer-up' gift by Ancellotti (smart move boy ) it must have made him feel that its time that he truly appreciated the winning team - which he normally always does, but if you give him wine then he goes over the moon.

If Milan play the way against Liverpool the way they did against us, I am sure that Milan will finish them scousers off, and that's what Ferguson wants more rather than revenge

That's why I posted the "Hats off to Sir Alex"! Because I saw him shaking his head after Ronaldo tackled Seedorf, he must have said to himself that "We are losing both the game and fair play, what the hell are these guys doing!?"

So I think he was sincere.

The way the Coach praises the team that defeats his team just to put his team on top if that team wins the whole thing!..is what i meant..!!
But if Man u wouldnt make it to the Semi's he wouldnt waste his time putting his 2 cents in.. you know what i mean?!

I can't argue that either.
