Re: Mark Hughes
He was a hero for me when playing for United, a fantastic striker, but almost as soon as he left my fondness for him evaporated. I didn't mind him doing well at Southampton or with Wales, but I seriously disliked him everywhere else and hated him at Blackburn, joining City was the last straw, for me. I'll always hate him, but will still have fond memories of him in a United shirt ( although, I'm sure he's a nice bloke and i wouldn't hold it against him if I knew him. Hate is such a strong word )
Cole didn't bother me going to city, he was just squeezing as many pay days and games out of his career as he could. Schmeichel pissed me off, purely because he should never have left united, the tart. |

Re: Mark Hughes
I couldn't believe it when i got back from Moscow and a mate told me he was openly supporting Chelsea as a pundit on Sky. £#%&!ing shameful, especially for a bloke who won us the Cup Winners Cup! He more then anyone should know just what winning in Europe means to our club, especially that season. Obviously, he believed the press hype at the time which was tipping him as a possible replacement for Avram Grant. His behaviour at City was just a £#%&!ing joke tbh - you'd think he was an ex-city player with the way he went on.
It's £#%&!ing gutting tbh. I hero worshiped the bloke. The goals in Rotterdam...the injury time equaliser against Oldham...these are some of my most cherished childhood memories. ffs Sparky :shakehead: |

Re: Mark Hughes
he obviously has some resentment towards ferguson for whatever reason, and that's coloured his memory of united and his behaviour towards us in recent years. there's some who leave with no issues and express admiration for fergie, hughes isn't one of them. and 'cos he's such a dour @#%&! the bitterness is always close to the surface.

Re: Mark Hughes
why one of the Noonans didnt deck this @#%&! along with Hughes, who I believe will never better Edwin Van ..
Following a February 1997 match against Arsenal, Schmeichel was accused of racism by Arsenal striker Ian Wright. During the game, Schmeichel and Wright had a number of controversies, and at the end of the game, the two players confronted each other on their way off the pitch. After the game, news emerged of a police inquiry into a November 1996 match between the two clubs, where it was alleged that Schmeichel had made a racist remark. After months of politicizing by The FA and The PFA, who wanted a "converted" Schmeichel as their posterboy of the "Kick Racism out of Football" campaign, no evidence was found and the case was dropped |

Maybe he had a point in 95 but I always felt he overlooked that in many seasons with us, his scoring record in the league pre and post February were usually like chalk and cheese. |

But I remember that period as just being unbelievably tense for about 5 months and McClair was producing the goods and Hughes wasn't. Any love for Hughes I had has dissipated for the Chelsea support at the European Cup Final and acting the #@&%! with city but I accept it's all highly personal. Unlike most on this board I don't regard Schmeichel as a @#%&!, but that's for another thread. |

Carlos to be fair at least made it clear his grievance was with Ferguson rather than the supporters. Still, he was such a @#%&! about the whole thing that I don't really bear him any sympathy. Trouble making @#%&!. £#%&! him. |

Re: Mark Hughes
I certainly don't regard Schmeichel as a @#%&!. He was just doing his job at City FFS
You only need to contrast him as a BBC pundit in the next few years whenever we did well (notably beating the "Invincibles" in the 2004 SF - he was grinning from ear to ear) with Hughes and his demeanour during the 2008 CL final. There is absolutely no comparison And as for people taking Ian Wright's (IAN WRIGHT!!) side over his, give your £#%&!ing heads a wobble :shakehead: |
