That was not actually how it worked
What do you write in these moments? It is not easy and even now, Fergie being Fergie, there is still that slightly unnerving feeling that one day he might go over everything that is written and take issue with any article that reads too much like an obituary for his liking.

Somehow the image of him holding up one of the offending newspapers, rolling‑pin-style, and threatening to swipe a journalist over the head – I have seen it happen – feels so much more natural than the idea of one of the greats of his profession lying, stricken, in an intensive‑care unit.

The reality, of course, is that nobody can http://www.bearsfootballonline.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_KYLE_FULLER_JERSEY.html be sure what happens next. For now it is probably just enough that he has made it through the first 24 hours, that the statement from Old Trafford described his emergency operation as a success and that, somehow, we all expect him to have different powers from the ordinary man.
That is not really how it works, from a medical point of view, but this is Sir Alex Ferguson we are talking about, not any person, and my mind goes back to the promise he made to us on his 65th birthday.
Ferguson was on great form that day. He talked about using his bus pass on “the 4A to Govan Cross”. He seemed to like the bottle of pinot noir that Kawann Short Womens Jersey had been bought for him and, locked in one of his battles with Chelsea at the time, the card expressing the wish that it was “better than the paint-stripper Mourinho gives you”. He made it sound Miles Killebrew Womens Jersey that age, not José Mourinho, was now his toughest opponent but he also made it clear he was ready to meet the challenge head-on. Then he raised himself off his seat and headed for the door, wearing a sunrise of a smile. “You http://www.officialnewyorkislanders.com/Adidas-Shane-Prince-Jersey haven’t got rid of me yet,” he called over his shoulder. “No matter how many times you’ve tried. I’m still here. You lot will all be gone http://www.footballramsofficials.com/rams+mark+barron+jersey before I am. I’ll see you all off.”
He always did like to have the last word. Even when his Manchester United team won the European Cup on that sweet-scented night at Barcelona’s Camp Nou in 1999, Ferguson made sure to gather all the first editions of the newspapers so he could scrutinise the early critiques. Back then the first editions had to be off-stone so early that nine-tenths of the match reports were written during the game http://www.officialpiratestore.com/authentic-25-gregory-polanco-jersey.html – ie United losing – and filled with paragraph after paragraph pointing out where Ferguson had got it wrong.
The later editions were all glory-glory-Man-United rewrites courtesy of the stoppage-time goals from Teddy Sheringham and – football, bloody hell – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. But guess which ones Ferguson pored over? He took a lot of pleasure reciting the more fault‑finding lines when we shuffled into the pressroom at United’s training ground on the first week of the following season.
People Womens Thomas Davis Jersey ask what he is like and the truth is that he always kept us a long arm’s length away. We would have loved to break bread with the man, clink wine glasses and feel his trust during those years when he turned United into the most prolific trophy‑grabbing machine in the game.
That was not actually how it worked and it was not fun, to say the least, in the periods when he was convincing himself that every question was being laid like a trap. Yet they were still, overall, the best of times for the football writers on the Old Trafford patch and he was not always “slamming” or “blasting”. When the shackles came off, when he disarmed his audience with long, impassioned homilies about football, politics or the world in general, those were the moments Stephen Hauschka Womens Jersey when one was reminded that time in his company was a privilege, both rewarding and fascinating.
