Piers Morgan: Answering questions nobody asked him
As I was going through the sports news yesterday trying to get a full scope of the game (as you do), I came across a blog from Piers Morgan on The Daily Mail’s website.
Basically Piers Morgan went about discounting United’s efforts this season with the familiar ‘one man team’ argument, claimed our team isn’t as good as some of the elite European teams, blamed Sir Alex for this and then claimed Jose Mourinho needs to come in to stop the rot.
But really, who asked for his flawed opinion?
The United team we have now isn’t the best team we’ve had but with a few tweaks rather than major overhaul as his piece seems to suggest the problem will be rectified. It may seem like we rely on Rooney but people prefer to ignore the fact that although we would have stood a much better chance with Rooney in the team, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Blackburn away are not easy games.
Even worse is the fact that he claimed that Sir Alex needs to go.
I’m guessing the piece was written before he saw the Chelsea/Spurs result and although Chelsea are still in the driving seat for the title, we are back challenging rather than down and out as many had us following the Blackburn game. Jose Mourinho is a great manager and I would not mind to see him at Old Trafford but why all of sudden does Piers think he can do the job better than Fergie, despite the fact he is now entering into his 24th year in charge? I like the way Piers neglected to mention the fact under Jose, Inter have frittered away a lead at the top of Serie A this season and after Roma’s 2-1 victory over Lazio last night now sit second behind Claudio Ranieri’s team in the table.
The piece was just filled with the kind of inaccuracies that repeated often enough people take to be true (Carlos Tevez scored 5 times in 29 league appearances, although he looks like he is doing the business now, that is not a strong enough basis to spend £47m or even £25m) and I could sit here all day and pick holes in it but it isn’t worth it as the whole thing seems like it was sensationalised to get a response, remember Morgan was the man that once said:
I detest everything about Manchester United and I think Alex Ferguson would expect nothing else. He detests everything about Arsenal and about me. It’s a marriage made in hell, me and Fergie.
Instead I will suggest Piers focuses on his own team, the team whose squad is in worse shape than ours, who have done nothing of any significance in Europe and who have not won any silverware since 2005.
wait!What??
Something’s really Odd… He’s doing on Footie?? On Sir Alex and Man United?? Is he carrying too much with being Judge on that Talent Show on Telly??
Copy-Cat Simon, you’d better stick to your girly day job…. you’re not wanted here and your silly irrelevant comments on footie..
I would imagine Fergie has a lot of time for Arsenal and Wenger, why he would have opinion on Piers is beyond me. It’s probably the fact the fop has an inflated opinion of himself. Why somebody with so little talent is judge on a talent show says everything about todays society. The mans so far up his own arsehole that he must be having multiple orgasms. I say stop talking about something you obviously know nothing about and stick to what you know. Unfortunately or maybe fortunately he would be able to talk about anything. It was comical leading up to the derby game how many so called pundits wrote us off, they couldn’t see us getting anything out of the game. You would have thought by now that they would be sick of Fergie proving just how foolish they are. After the game most of these pundits do a 180 and say how great Fergie and his team are and their never say die attitude.
