Manchester United 0 Barcelona 2

Fergie, Fergie

(Well worth a timely reminder)

 

Fergie, Fergie, the Spaniards have shafted you

They went through your back four like a Manchester vindaloo

So don’t be a moaning Jonah

You lost to Barcelona

Don’t suck on your teat

Accept your defeat

‘Cos they hammered you nothing to two.

 

Fergie, Fergie, I’ll sing you this sweet refrain

Barca’s won the Champions League again

You can keep your tired excuses

Giggsy was worse than useless

You’d be better off

Without Berbatov

Back with Tottenham at White Hart Lane.

 

Fergie, Fergie, I know that you’re bound to survive

You’ve got some way though to catch up on Liverpool’s Five

The time when history beckoned

You only managed second

To give him his due

Cloughie got two

There’d been more if he’d still been alive.

 

Fergie, Fergie, try not to curse and swear

There’s not much red in Roma but don’t despair

Your fans have all hidden their red strip

For making their homeward bus trip

But you spot a red

By the nob on his head

And not by the shirt that he wears.

I'd love to see/hear you sing this in the Stretford End John. I guess there are only two types of football supporters, the Manchester United fans -

and the jealous . . .

Althouigh Barcelona must be a good team to be entering two events at the same time - the Champions League Final -

and the World Diving Championships . . .

COME ON YOU REDS!

Regards,

A.E. :)

Enjoyed this, John. We have friends coming to stay on the weekend of the final, and the male half is a fervent Man U supporter. Not looking forward to that - can't even crow if they lose, most impolite to a guest - I'll have to actually be sympathetic if I can manage it. At least he's from Manchester, unlike most Man U supporters, who often seem to use vicarious success to bolster their own fragile self-esteem, aided and abetted by a sycophantic media and international branding. Football was so much more enjoyable when there were genuine surprises in which teams finished near or at the top of the top flight. Murdoch has a lot to answer for.

Every time I go to the gym there's always 2 or 3 lads in MU shirts - unless they've lost; then it seems they must be in the wash!
