Sir Alex Ferguson accuses Hackett of cheating
We await, with great interest, the response from the powers that be after Sir Alex Ferguson's latest thermonuclear strike.
Accusing Keith Hackett, his longtime drinking partner and best buddy, of showing clear bias towards Chelsea following the rescinding of John Terry's red card from the City game, Sir Alex had the following to say.
"From what I have heard, Keith Hackett has told the referee to rescind the red card and he wouldn't do it. If it had been a Manchester United player, Keith Hackett wouldn't have done this. If the referee has made a mistake, this is going to happen all the time."
Two things. Firstly, starting your defence with the words "from what I have heard" doesn't exactly inspire confidence. It's like hearing a far-fetched conspiracy theory in a pub that starts with the word "Apparently...". Secondly, if Sir Alex is going to maintain his good health as he approaches his 67th birthday, may we humbly suggest that he finds an alternative way of dealing with all that pent-up bile. Think of your blood pressure, Sir Alex.
