Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been criticised after he allegedly blamed Wayne Rooney's behaviour on him being from Liverpool.
He is reported to have said Rooney - who has been in trouble over his disciplinary problems - had "a chip on his shoulder" because he is a Scouser.
Liverpool City Council leader Mike Storey said the comment was "disappointing" and "nonsense". Manchester United was unavailable for comment on Tuesday. Sir Alex was reported, in Tuesday's Daily Mirror, to have told a supporters' club meeting: "Rooney is from Liverpool and everyone from that city has a chip on their shoulder, so if an injustice is done to him on the pitch, of course he is going to react."
well fergie is probably the worlds foremost expert in the field of chips and shoulders so i'll take this one as being 100% correct.
having given the bbc the cold shoulder as it were for the past 18 months he has now turned his wrath on that bastion of bias anti-united predudice MUTV for being critical of his tactics and footballing nous.
on the subject of interesting paradoxes Lynnot, was it not yesterday that you were berating irish fans of english clubs telling your freind the F off home, yet most united fans despise scousers, chant about them being thieves and scumbags etc and then laud rooney who to all intents and purposes is the quintessential scouser

Ferguson has always hated Liverpool Philby.When asked what his greatest achievement was in football,he said it was knocking Liverpool off there fucking perch.its obviously eating him alive that Rafa won the European Cup in his first season at LFC,and he has only managed one win in 19 years,
