Ferguson calls for calm

Fri, 27 Jan 10:05:28 2012

Sir Alex Ferguson has pleaded for calm ahead of Manchester United's FA Cup fourth-round trip to Liverpool.

The sides meet this weekend for the first time since the spat between Luis Suarez and United left-back Patrice Evra, for which the Liverpool striker was banned for eight matches after being found guilty of racist comments.

Ferguson is eager for the game to make headlines for the right reasons, though.

"As (Liverpool captain) Steven Gerrard said, there is a responsibility on the players to behave properly and also both sets of fans," he said.

"We want to make sure we are talking about the game, nothing else."

  5. Hi Vickie does your newly found anti racist stance­ stretch to calling the mixed race citizens of Liverpool­ bin dippers.

    Perhaps the apology should be coming out­ in between your drooling lips

  6. We are always calm. We don't call people name and­ refer them to their ethnicity when we lose the game. We­ will cane them scousers for sure.

  8. I think Evra will stay out of the way. I dont expect­ him to play. Much to tense

  14. And lets hope the game is the talking point and not­ another ref mistakes which costs one of the teams. I­ feel there is going to be a big call the ref will get­ wrong.
