Sir Alex blames Premier League bosses for United's Milan misery

**ghimpheng** · 04-05-2007, 09:32 PM

Sir Alex Ferguson has fiercely criticised the Premier League for failing to aid Manchester United in their Champions League quest.

United tumbled out of the tournament at the semi-final stage last night as a fitter, fresher AC Milan romped to a 3-0 win in the San Siro which sealed a 5-3 aggregate triumph and earned the Italians a rematch with 2005 conquerors Liverpool in Athens on May 23.

Just like title rivals Chelsea 24 hours earlier, United failed to find the legs to pursue their challenge.

And, while Ferguson does not blame the huge number of games his side have played recently for this crushing defeat, he does not believe the Premier League, who rejected a request to push Saturday's Manchester derby back by 24 hours, have helped them.

"We play in a very tough league and we have been using the same players with no respite for quite a while now," said Ferguson.

"AC Milan have been able to rest their players at the appropriate times.

"In some countries, they help teams to prepare for European games. That is a problem.

"The Premier League have made an unfair decision against us by making us play Manchester City on Saturday.

"The TV people were happy for the game to be played on Sunday morning but the Premier League wanted to maintain the integrity of the competition.

"You can work out what integrity means. They are the ones who made Tottenham play Chelsea one-and-a-half days after a UEFA Cup tie."

Despite an obvious fatigue factor, Ferguson admitted he never saw such a poor performance coming.

This is definitely a "sore loser" comment by Fergie. But nothing beats what The Special One said. Penalty decisions going against them? Hur hur hur.

And that "uneducated" attack on Cristiano Ronaldo? Tell him to wake up his idea.

**HolyArcher** · 05-05-2007, 01:56 PM

cristiano ronaldo keeping on his tricks and ended up tackle by someone.... far most it was his mistake, and alex shouldnt have put rooney the only striker in the formation

**rukawa** · 05-05-2007, 05:47 PM

i think it is better to keep the flaming down instead of directing who is the sore loser in this season

-=[K]=- · 05-05-2007, 05:51 PM

lol....actually arguing over clubs considered flaming anot ah? not really rite? or I sala? cos I always thought flaming's excess insults/comments/remarks targetted at individual...if it's not taken to the personal level, it should be alright bah..?

**HolyArcher** · 05-05-2007, 09:53 PM

ya is totally unfair and last year christmas season have epl have their breaks no

**chinkai** · 05-05-2007, 10:20 PM

Actually I sort of agree with Fergie's comments.

Why must the English clubs play through winter?

Why can't clubs taking part in Europe be given special consideration when it comes to fixture arrangement?

Only the lads at Soho Square will know that.
