Gerard Pique returned to Barcelona after failing to break in to United’s first team. Despite plenty of appearances in the Champions League, the Spaniard was all too happy to make the £6 million move back home.
When he signed for United there was a bit of bad blood between himself and Barcelona, with Pique claiming that he wasn’t a slave and didn’t belong to the Spanish giants.
All is forgiven and forgotten now though, but it appears as though now Pique is making a target out of his latest former club… us.
“At United there were some incredible things happening,” said Pique. “Everyone was allowed to eat what they wanted and one must remember that the English diet is just like people say. Every two weeks we had to be checked out on a machine that measured the amount of fat we had in our bodies. It would be a surprise that none of the players broke the machine because of the amount of hamburgers and beer they had.”
It’s not just the players on the receiving end of Pique’s criticism though, with a few words sent in Sir Alex Ferguson’s direction too.
“The gaffer, as Ferguson is known in Manchester, spoke in English with a Scottish accent and sounded Chinese to me,” Pique added. “But I was not the worst and there are players still there who do not understand him yet. I arrived without knowing any English, so the banter was lost on me.”
So everyone was fat and the manager spoke a language he couldn’t understand, sounds bloody awful! Apparently not.
“It was not bad though, because in Manchester I became a player.”
U thankless little prick Pique.What a waste the time and effort we invested in you has proven to be.Pique obviously didnt pick up one of the things that makes you a United player:Class.Both on field and off.
Somehow i really cannot see Pique saying this… i think its media spin… as it was only the other week he was saying on a catalun tv channel at how we taught him how to be professional and how much he developed with training and being at the club..
Just a load of spin bollocks this one… pretty much like 99% of news that comes out of the spanish media/press
i think spanish people has something against british i think is the premiere league is the best in the world thats why .
there is nothing derogatory in this.
He was probably asked what the infamous English diet was like, and to be fair, if you don’t speak English, you’re gonna have a hard time understanding Fergie. Vidic and Evra came out in the last few weeks saying that the banter was lost on them too due to language barriers, but its getting better now.
And before people give the lad stick, look at his comments last week about how brilliant Utd were with him, thanking SAF for all he has done with the club and his development. Pique’s a good lad, like Rossi, who just knew he was too good to spend his career waiting. fair enough, best of luck to him
All the best to Gerard Piquè.
Trust the Spanish media? Spanish media my toe!!!!!!!
Id take this with a large pinch of salt, Pique has recently bin the recipient of a stolen identity, with a facebook amongst other things. Could it be the same person is making these comments? Unless you see the interview I wouldnt believe it. After all these stories make money so someone will bullshit along the way!
i agree, when he left united he was full of praise for SAF and manchester united “for making him into the play he is” i doubt this is true but if it is just think the european champs are beer guzzling fat boys! doesnt bose well for the other teams wanting to win the comp
united and ronaldo embarrassed the spanish meadia this summer as they made them out to look the liars they are. That is why they are putting alot of negative spin our way. That silva, who i thought wasn’t any better than nani/park in the euro’s, had signed a contract with valencia but the spanish press made a big story of how we were bidding only for him to snub us. since then they’ve bashed fergie calling him senile and now this. Fuck them, they’ll never see ronaldo in their league nor tevez. They might get some of our rejects though
Like we have experienced in the past, I think this is another Spanish whoop! Cunts…
I want to be in absolute denial that Gerard Pique would say something like that. I’ve always been very defensive of him when he was a player, and I was a fan of his even after he left.
It’s the bloody Spanish media’s doing, I swear.
Professionals do eat alot of high calorie diets anyway. Check what the dolphin boy Phelps eats at breakfast.
NBC commentator Bob Costas rattled off Phelps’ breakfast menu, which includes three sandwiches of fried eggs, cheese, lettuce, tomato, fried onions, mayonnaise, an omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast with powdered sugar, and three chocolate-chip pancakes.
Couldn’t see Rooney eating the french toast though. haha
Dont believe this for a second. he left a letter to the fans and our club when he left and had nothing but good things to say about his team mates,fans and Manchester so i expect this is just more marca bullshit.
media basically make it to heard awful. I don’t think his english are that good to speak one whole chunk of sentence. He bascially just say man utd can happily eat they like and not affecting their play in the field. He is actually praising us. i don’t see any insult or disrespect to us in those words.
even if he told tht or not , may be he did jus to create an impression with the barca fans, but werent the fat beer drinking players the ucl n epl champs last season, hmm.. wht was barca doin last season , i guess starving both on and off the pitch, while our lads making merry both on and off, guess i’ll take the fat beer guzlers over the barca starvers any day!
Some people still can’t accept the fact that we are Champions of Europe.
quality, united get pissed and eat shit food. still the champions of england and champions of europe. keep on the good stuff lads, it’s obviously working.
besides i just don’t see wayne eating celery somehow.
well the media can twist things, well if what ever they are on keep the secret because it must be good. maybe arsenal need to change their diet’s because they are not exactly racking up the trophy’s are they keep the diet going becaus eit as worked for the past two and a half years.
A bunch of fat players led by a manager that no one can understand won the premier league and the Champions League knocking out may I add Barcelona. Not bad imagine what would happen if Ronnie put down the hamburgers.
theboy: haha thanks u cracked me up with the Wayne eating celery comment. *imagines*
Diet; Er perhaps there’s some truth there since we’ve had a few managers incl Capello trying to change things a bit. But u guys are right, beer guzzlers who win are all that matters!
SAF’s ‘English’= Er, English is not my first language either and only after being a United fan for 16 years can I understand him perfectly instead of brief snatches / words. So if Pique said this he may be telling the truth! Haha I wonder what goes through Tevez’s and Nani’s head when they listen to fergie eh?
Fuck the cunt….. maybe if he had some some burgers and decent beer he stead of fucking paella and Spanish piss tasting wine he might have got into the first team a bit more the prick….
And tell the bastard we might well be fat and smell of beer, but by fuck can we plat decent footie, win trophies and leagues by the fucking shed load.
