Apparently our players have great manners… according to a cabin crew’s revealing stories in The Times today.
We often get football teams flying to European games, and it’s always interesting to see how they behave. Without doubt the rudest was Spurs. They were going to Prague a couple of years ago, and they were all very impolite. None of them said thank you for anything. One player in particular, a striker, sat with his headphones on and refused to take them off, and none of them would lift their window blinds for takeoff and landing.
By contrast, Manchester United were incredibly polite. Sir Alex Ferguson was all ‘yes please, no thank you’, and all the team were exactly the same. They were all linked up together playing Fifa football on their Game Boys or PlayStations or whatever they were. They were like a bunch of little schoolboys. The only one who wasn’t playing was Cristiano Ronaldo, who just rolled his eyes at me whenever I walked down the plane, as if to say, ‘Look what I have to put up with, with these kids.’
Man Utd News 24/7
Good to know
Id say there are some players out there, for other teams , that are just wankers to cabin crews
Ronny was probably just trying to pull the air hostess
@ Gerkeo,
You are probably right.
Always nice to hear when the boys act polite and down to Earth
Not really surprised about the politeness, after all our players have sir alex ferguson as manager. And ron was just pretending to be the ‘cool one’ not playing fifa to impress the female air hostesses
You know what? I believe every word said here about ‘our’ polite ManUtd players, that’s why I’ve been a fan since so many years ago. Remember when Welback did the ‘stuckup’ celebration after scoring? Reports had it he was reprimanded by SAF. The young ‘uns like Welback, Macheda etc are still going thru school to be a Red Devil…2 strikes & yer out! Glory, glory ManUtd…and the fans!
Ronnie dont play kiddies stuff on PlayStations and all, he shows his class where it matters most. Thats why he was (is) a class apart. I dont think Paul Scholes was on that plane!
could it be that the spurs striker mentioned was berba? lol …. :p
SULLY, go support Madrid. We dont need you.
Steamdigit: I reckon it was defoe. I’ve always thought he was an arrogant wanker :p berba was most likely asleep or something!
My thoughts exactly, Steamdigit!
You know something? Sir Alex sign players with this attitude. he will do all research before signing the player. Which is why he will find ways to know about this guy e.g owen when he ask Nicky butt about him. So i’m not surprise at all. With Sir Alex there, i bet he will ensure they are down to earth and not carry away. Giggs, Scholes, Neville been there for so long and they are not carry away, then what gives those new players right to be carry away?
Ronnie a class apart? Some people have very short memories.
Sir Alex is our manager, and our club is run on the principles or the great Sir Matt Busby, why wouldn’t we have great manners?
We’ve got a Prime Minister who’s rude to cabin staff. He shouted and swore – f and c words – to a female just because he didn’t get the meal he wanted.
Just like the Spurs players in Scott’s comments, he’s so full of himself. A first-class wanker.
“They were like a bunch of little schoolboys.” Why am I not surprised lol.
FFS, if we play games on PS or PSP or whatever we are not kids or children
What’s Common Between Women’s Breast and Playstation?
Both were made for kids but Men end up playing with them……
Guess the hostess looked good and Ronnie had another game in mind
The United players i met were all very polite and took photos and signed autographs without being asked ……well there was one who actually was not polite at all but he left for the Gooners…that was Mika Silvestre
I really dont get the idea of autographs. I can understand pictures.
Definition of Class : United.
We breed good people as well as good footballers.
A cut above.
I have always said to my friends here in Malta that Manchester United are the national treasure of U.K.
Keep up the good work lads and ALWAYS keep it in mind that you represent millions of fans around the globe!
LMAO. Who said the cabin crew were trolley Dollies, could well be some lads mincing up and down the ailse’s. Says a lot for Ronaldo in my opinion, rolls his eye’s.
What do you expect of the Spuds players most of the cunts cant speak English.
