In future, Ferguson should follow the genius example of Avram Grant in interviews?

Question

This is how it is done Fergie. This is how you make your point about free speech. Avram grant had this journo sweating for 5 minutes and 39 seconds. He could not get charged for his behaviour and he raised a great point.

Beware, this transcript contains genius irony. Grant is a genius:

Q: A deserved win Avram?
Grant: ‘Yes.’
Q: What particularly pleased you about the performance?
Grant: ‘I’m pleased.’
Q: What in particular pleased you?
Grant: (after an eight second delay): ‘I don’t know.’
Q: Is it a relief to win here?
Grant: ‘Yes.’
Q: You seem lost for words by the performance. Are you more satisfied with the performance or the victory?
Grant: ‘Both.’
Q: You seem distracted. Do you have a problem?
Grant: ‘No problem.’
Q: Is there an issue?
Grant: ‘No. I’m ok. I have nothing to say.’
Q: Do you have a message for the Chelsea fans?
Grant : ‘You represent the Chelsea fans?’
Q: They must believe you are still in the title race, do you have a message for them?
Grant: ‘No message.’
Q: Does this result mean you are back in it now?
Grant: ‘I don’t know.’
Q: How many steps have you climbed to undertake this press conference?
Grant: ‘I don’t know.’
Q: You seem less voluble than usual. Is it because of Sky TV moving the game to a Thursday?
Grant: ‘Maybe it’s because of you. I don’t know. I am ok.’
Q: You are saying that you don’t know if you are still in the title race?
Grant: ‘No.’
Q: Is it easier to say nothing Avram?
Grant: ‘I don’t know what to answer. It is a good question. I don’t know what to answer.’
Q: Is this because of Sky?
Grant: ‘No. Sky is ok. I enjoy watching them.’
Q: Is it a protest against newspapers?
Grant: ‘No. Why?’
Q: Why else would you come in and refuse to answer our questions?
Grant: ‘I answer every question.’
Q: You are two points behind Manchester United and you don’t know if you are still in the title race?
Grant: ‘No.’
Q: Have you told the players that you don’t know if you are back in the title race?
Grant: ‘What I tell the players is something else. You want me to tell you what I say to the players?’
Q: We just want you to answer the question, really. Are you in the title race?
Grant: ‘I don’t know.’
Q: Would you not like to gain some positive publicity for the result rather than this bizarre silence?
Grant: ‘I’m sorry. You can write whatever you want and I can answer what I want.’
Q: Do you feel under pressure to deliver a trophy. Is that the reason for the monosyllabic answers?
Grant: ‘No.’
Q: Are you upset? Do you feel you have been misrepresented?
Grant: ‘Maybe I have said because it is a bad season.’
Q: Did Michael Essien faint?
Grant: ‘He had some problems, but he is ok.’
Q: Michael Ballack?
Grant: ‘Injured.’
Q: What’s his problem?
Grant: ‘Ask the doctor.’
Q: He’s not here Avram.
Grant: ‘Well call him then.’
Q: Have you ever played the yes/no game Avram?
Chelsea press officer: ‘This is going nowhere. Let’s end it.’

Answer 1

Are you that interested in Grant that you make a note of his answers??!

You could do worse than listen to Kenny's interviews. Honest and amusing. Let's not have the usual inane comments about being unable to understand his accent please.

Answer 2

Lmao, what a fvcking legend xD



Though I do think referees and officials should be respected... (Something they obviously aren't every match...) just shows video technology is getting more and more urgently needed... imagine that. Dodgy penalty decision and tossers swarming the ref... 5 seconds later he gives the correct decision due to his headset to another geezer watching the game... so the ref tells the players "Shut your cvnts. Do one, it's the correct decision, you dribbling fvckwits"... players jog on...



It's no secret that SAF and Wenger are the biggest complainers in football... while Wenger is stereotyped for selective vision... SAF is just as bad... case in point, when we played you lot the other day and he was moaning about the Owen penalty (Should've been one, I admit) but no mention of the Vidic handball which should've been a penalty AND a red card... swings and roundabouts... if these dodgy decisions didn't happen... there'd be NOTHING to whinge about would there? I refuse to accept these "Mistakes" are part of the Beautiful Game... they are often influential in crucial decisions like Title Races...



Human error has no place in the game... FIFA know that the introduction of technology will make it harder and harder for them to be the corrupted bastards they are... hence it's STILL not introduced and many laughable decisions are made at the HIGHEST level of professional football... joke much?
