Now, I think Geoff Shreves from Sky is an enormous twat and to be honest I’d probably tell him to ‘fuck off’ if he came near me as well. However, shouldn’t a top Premiership manager show some restraint when a fairly legitimate question is asked of a player who has, through his own fault and the apologist manager at his club, got a reputation as one the biggest divers in the game?

SHREEVES: “I asked him . . . ”

FERGUSON: “F*****g (inaudible) bastard.”

S: “Don’t talk to me like that.”

F: “F**k off to you.”

S: “Don’t talk to me like that. Don’t even think about it.”

F: “Don’t you think about it, you ****. F**k off. Right?”

S: “Listen, are you going to do the interview in a professional manner or not? Do you want to do it or not?”

F: “You f*****g be professional. You be professional. You’re the one.”

S: “I’m entitled to ask . . . . Cristiano gave the right answer.”

F: “F*****g hell with your answers.”

S: “Don’t talk to me like that. Go away. If you want to behave civilly, fine. Don’t talk to me like that.”

F: “F**k off.” (door slams).
