The Sublime Freak

Alan Leighton never shuts up does he. Had anyone heard of him before whatever-reason-it-was-that-he-crawled-into-the-open happened? He's loving it ain't he? Anyway, he says some more shit today. It's here, the usual crap, so I won't quote it.
Sir Alex "walked out" of the Champions League press conference apparently. The Guardian's description:

Asked how he felt about having to explain himself to English football's governing body, Ferguson replied: "Silly question, gets no answer." When another reporter interjected with "It's not a silly question", the United manager bristled visibly. "I'm not answering that," he said, rising from his chair, turning on his heel and heading briskly for the exit, pausing only to issue a curt "Good night".

Although Ferguson had spent the previous 20 minutes fielding questions from English and Russian journalists, he had been terse throughout.

Other stuff to come from the press conference, possibility of the return of the injured for Sunday's game:

"There will be obviously be changes on Sunday," said Fergie. "I'm hoping Rooney, Giggs, and Fletcher will be fit.

"It's difficult to say with Giggs, but we're fighting to get Rooney ready. It may be an uphill fight, but we're trying.

"Evra will be fit for Sunday. He's just had a little problem with a heel that we could have risked but decided not to.

"Fletcher is a slight doubt, but we're hoping we get the main players fit because Sunday is a big game."

And on rumours linking us to CSKA's keeper:

he played down rumours that CSKA’s Igor Akinfeev is a leading candidate to replace 38-year-old Van der Sar.

He said: “I can’t deal with rumour because we have two very good young keepers in Ben Foster and Tomasz Kuszczak. The future lies with them. When Van der Sar chooses to retire, I am confident they will be able to take over."
