Man Utd field weakened team

[John]

Sport is a large part of what Annabelle and I enjoy, which is why we have a section for it, and it's also nice to have some general off topic chat from time to time.

On 5 live, apparently there was a suggestion that the reason Fergie fielded a weakened team was that by losing to Chelsea, it puts Tottenham in an even weaker position and thus more likely to miss out on a Champions league spot, thus making it more likely that one "Mr Bale" will look to jump ship with Fergie and the red Devils in hot pursuit of his signature.

Fergie is a wily old fox and I wouldn't put such Machiavellian maneuvers beyond him, though it looks like the Gooners are the ones who will most likely miss out on Champions league football...sadly, but if thats the way the cards fall, its deserved. Squeaky bum time has well and truly arrived for Tottenham and Arsenal fans..
