Anti-sage moments - come clean while you can

It was dunk that put me right.

Also much better.

I just blindly kept going because I'd said it and wanted to be saged-up.

I was right in one part - we should've bought the little shit with the Ronnie cash, but saying he was the closest type of player to Ronnie was really daft.

Haunts me every day.

In my defence, your honour, I was about 14, Giggs had less meat on him than a starving whippet and Sharpey had been ripping various English and European sides up for arse paper around that time.

Then Dunk came in with a truthbomb.

Yeah, but come on, my actual sagery would've been spot on had I stuck and not twisted into uber/faux sagery.

thought vidic and evra weren't united standard (tbf i knew £#%&!-all about them and fergie had just spent the preceding couple of years buying a load of shite)

thought berbatov was the answer to our prayers (tbf he had all the talent for united, just none of the application)

was reasonably pro-moyes 'til a lot later than most on here (tbf i think it was more i didn't want him to fail rather than i thought he would succeed - don't enjoy seeing a united manager flounder, whoever it is)

Thiago Alcântara do Nascimento

I said that fletcher would never be a decent footballer as long as he had a hole in his arse. I was wrong on both counts.

I was extremely vocal in my opposition to Stepney taking penalties

anyone mentioned degea yet cos theres at least half a dozen @#%&!s on this thread who murdered him first few months

I thought Robbo would make a great manager.

borsuk. Also a massive Moyes/Fellaini fan boy. Still gutted he did a runner before I could hound him off.

tbf I think Fergie said he thought something similar. And that no-one thought Hughes would be a manager at all, he was so quiet.

I had forgotten his lawless-lite pronouncements on Dave. The charge sheet is actually quite impressive, tbh
