CRISIS

Last updated : 17 March 2004 By Editor

"We've lost a couple of important games and it does hurt.

"We've done it to a few people in the past and now it's being done to us so it's our turn to suffer."

"You can't help it hurting if you're a fan, whether you're like me, or if you work at Manchester Airport or on a conveyor belt in a factory.

"It's your passion so if your team suffers really seriously - and we've had two big hits in the last week - it hurts."

"You've just got to take it on the chin when things go against you.

"Everybody's saying it's good for English football to have competition with Arsenal but I don't agree. I'm greedy and I want United to win all the time."

Whoever said that Bobby was greedy?

Anyway he goes on to say:

"I have complete faith in Sir Alex Ferguson.

"He's a great manager. He's never let us down and I don't see why that will be any different now.

"People have different approaches and he has his way of doing it.

"He's been a manager for a long time and you don't do that by making bad decisions and alienating your players. You do it by doing the opposite and getting players to respect you.

"Alex doesn't like losing and he'll be telling the players to get back to winning.''
