If she's a former model then she can't be that good looking, otherwise she'd still be a model.

Age mate. She doesn't do the catwalks anymore.

FOR years he has been unflappable in the heat of the title race, but, his annus horribilis approaching a suitably nightmarish conclusion, that of handing over his most prized possession to his arch-enemy, Sir Alex Ferguson finally and spectacularly cracked yesterday. Frustrated by the futility of his attempts to unsettle Arsène Wenger and harassed by criticism of his methods, the Manchester United manager, supposed master of the mind games, resorted instead to the language of the barrack-room.
United had called a press conference to preview tomorrow’s eagerly-awaited FA Barclaycard Premiership title “decider” against Arsenal, who need only a draw to secure the championship, an occasion that, Ferguson began, would be “terrific”. So far so good, but, asked to elaborate on his theme about Arsenal’s perceived arrogance, he launched into a remarkable tirade that ended, amid a welter of bile and vitriol, with the press conference aborted and the seven journalists present told in no uncertain terms to leave the premises.

To Ferguson, the prospect of surrendering the Premiership title to Arsenal is dreadful enough, but the further indignity of staging his fiercest adversary’s coronation would be sheer anathema. The United manager has sent a series of verbal swipes in the direction of Highbury in recent weeks, but Wenger, his bête noire, has consistently shown an ability either to rise above the pettiness or, more frustratingly still, come back with a sneeringly dismissive retort.

When Ferguson, more than happy to play ball with the media, mischievously put pressure on the FA to “throw the book” at two Arsenal players, Patrick Vieira and Thierry Henry, Wenger just laughed.

When, despite mounting evidence to the contrary, Ferguson ventured last week that his was still the best team in England, Wenger joked that “everyone thinks he has the best-looking wife at home”, a remark that so outraged the United manager he had to be assured it was not a specific reference to his own better half. Duelling with Kevin Keegan was never this hard.

Ferguson grudgingly conceded yesterday, before the roof fell in, that Arsenal’s form of late has been worthy of champions, tempering his praise with the rider that United had “scored the most goals and played the most attractive football”, before the tension of his most arduous season in 12 years — one that would be considered a success at most clubs, but certainly not at United — finally got the better of him. Little of what followed is repeatable, but, after weeding out the remarkable succession of expletives — nine f**** and one s*** in the space of two minutes — two sentences remained just about printable.
