by a certain manager after losing at Emirates on Nov 8



Debunk-
The fixture list is random, that`s the nature of the fixture list. Therefore, the fact that your team has some tough away assignments after Champions League games is, literally, the luck of the draw.And he himself , too thought it wasnt a problem at all...

by a certain manager after knocked out of the FA Cup by West Ham at home



Debunk -
Blame who for the bumpy pitch?You are playing at home and you shud have the advantage.And of course the injury time is not enough, unlike the 1999 European Cup Final, of course. Time is always of the essence for this manager. If his club are losing, the referee should add it on, if they're winning, he should blow his whistle. Dont get what I mean? You can guarantee as a game enters the 89th minute with his club hanging on to a one-goal advantage, this particular manager will start pointing furiously at his timepiece and probably have a dig on the referee in media again.

by a certain manager after knocked out of Champion League after a 3-0 semi-final loss at AC Milan, going out 5-3 on aggregate.



Debunk-
How the heck is another English Team able to progress to Final then? So, what he reckon the premier league suppose to do? 1 month without match for them to prepare for the champion league?


And the most funny of all

1996
Southampton 3-1 Manchester United



Debunk:
Funny and lame excuse..and you know wat? The strip was immediately replaced with a new design.

And not to mention a recent one that he claimed his players handball in the match against Zenit was an instinctive.

all managers also complain international duties make their players injured ... but this the price they gonna pay if having top players in the team ...

yeah...like some spanish manager

13th February 2003

Sir Alex Ferguson has branded this week's friendly internationals "stupid".

"Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has to go to Greece with Norway and I think it is absolutely ridiculous. I think that is a stupid one, " the Boss told MUTV.

"We've got fifteen players away on international duty from Roy Carroll and John O'Shea with the two Irish sides, Seba Veron with Argentina and Ruud van Nistelrooy with Holland, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with Norway, seven English players, two with France and Ryan Giggs with Wales.

"It is a lot of players away but we are doing our best to make the proper arrangements to get them back quickly."

Its not good for us to have so many players gone for their international duties.This will affect us badly if some one or other gets injured .We have the important FA cup match ,Juventus plus a heavy schedule from now on.

this is the fact that some team are spending more than the other team

FACT is not excuse

yes.. i was thinking to put on other languages but lazy to do so

Its also a fact that money follows success, and success is not solely determined by who has the larger or deeper wallet.

Internationals occur every year without fail, managers know that. If they don't want any of their players leaving for international duty, then sign crap players

I also remember Mourinho complaining that he has a lack of cover for Terry and Carvalho which led to them having to stick Essien and Ferreira in the middle. Well what did he do at the start of that season? He sold Robert Huth, the only covering centreback at the time.

but i think most of the time the manager blamed on the referee's decisions caused them to lose the game..

But sometimes, some manager did come out with some pretty funny excuses...

EG:
Colour of kits, pitch bumpy cos played too much rugby on that particular stadium...

Anyway, speaking of the referee's decision, a recent one would be Phil Brown's remark on the referee sudden chg of mind for not giving the penalty in the match against Villa

Benitez questions Wigan's tactics

not any excuse, just some comments from the most genius manager on earth

Darn! Was gona put this one in

Apparently Wigan players lost their marbles and didnt lie down and allow the opposing team to slaughter them. AND to make it worst ! OMG the Wigan player must have really been insane to score that penalty ?!!?!? I mean ... how could he ?!?!!?

The only sane ppl in the second half !! Was Lucas !!! Fabulous chap who decided to rugby-tackle Koumas when there were 2 other players offside and wouldve been harmless !!! Oh !!! And Lucas was in a perfect state of mind when Gerrard sent in a cross and he blocked Torres from getting it !! GOSH!

But the ONLY other individual who kept his cuckoo in the clock was Benitez !! After spending 20 million on a player in the summer which he cud quite possibly be referring to as a Table...or was it a Lamp... he left on the bench ! And even when he brought him off ... HE TOOK OUT THE ONLY OTHER DECENT PLAYER IN THE TEAM !! i mean ... wow ... Benitez ... you were right buddy ... Everyone else was "Crazy" but you were doing the best thing for the game werent you

"someone told me having $ex before the game pumps up my performance...he didnt tell me not to do it more than 7 times!!!"

Well therein lies the flaw in your statement. It's another reason I always urge posters to find out more before running their mouth off. Benitez did no sanction the purchase of Robbie Keane which is why he's willing to offload him back to Spurs. Unlike at your club, Arsenal or Chelsea, Rafa reports to Rick Parry on transfer signings and not directly to the owners, hence why he's stalling on renewing his contract.

As for the comments on Wigan, even Liverpool fans are left in the dark. It's obvious he has something to say but would rather reserve his comments. Maybe he should have started blaming the FA for being biased even though our CEO is on it's committee, oh wait, that isn't true. Maybe the refs are against us, who knows? I certainly don't since Rafa isn't willing to share.

My favourite during a certain Frenchman's time:

" We are a young team, we controlled the game, we had 139485 corners, 198654843737494627 shots on goals, 29163598490237 passes, but we're just unlucky that they hit us on the break (three times!), or they were lucky, every time they attacked, they score (this is after losing to Chelsea 4 - 0!)"

It got so bad that before the match ends, me and my mate would impersonate his excuses and refuse to read or watch any interview with him, as we knew what he'd say.

In addition, we din pay 20m yet...We only pay around 10m now...

those from Mourinho were the best...

entertainment + 1
