Alex Fergurson has gone on record today in condemnation of that diving cheat Ashley Young which has consequently put him right up in my estimation. Ashley Young and the refs have jointly brought the good name of football into disrepute. In the two recent games that Young has clearly dived, UTD had no need of that kind of behaviour to win the game. It has only severed to leave a bitter taste in the mouth of the viewing public and the opposing teams (especially as they are fighting for their premier league survival). Once again it is refreshing to hear a manager equally disturbed by what can at best be described as simulation. Lets wait and see if Ashley takes heed of the excellent advise!

He then went on to say that the "simulation" in the Bayern-Madrid game was much worse....
no it wasn't! None of them dived to win a penalty. Ribery tried, but it was half-hearted, not a full length swan dive like Ashley pulled off.
If you really think SAF cares about Young diving you are clueless. As far as he is concerned, United are now in the driving seat for another PL despite knowing that their squad is nowhere near City's.
But he isn't going to say that because he isn't an idiot.

MUFC and City have played each other 3 times this season so far, United have won twice
The diving was constant from Ribery all match in the CL last week, Young went down theatrically once against QPR

Well said Ferguson. As much as he gets on my nerves at times, i respect what he's said here.

"Young went down theatrically once against QPR "
'once'
Bubbly, now why tell porkies? Haven't you learnt anything from Sir Alex's comments?
He would be very disappointed if he read what you wrote.

Jesus Christ, you'd think Young was the first player ever to dive after the ridiculous overreaction this week.

Vik, a 2-footed tackle can get you a red.
