Ramón Calderón believes that Sir Alex Ferguson's advanced years influenced his outburst against Real Madrid this week, while Marca plumbed to new depths by featuring the Manchester United as General Franco on their cover. Los Merengues' president was responding to a strongly-worded interview by the fiery Scot in a recent issue of GQ magazine which was clearly influenced by the Spanish club's pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo last season. Ferguson used the one subject that he knew would rile Madrid and trod on ground where most Spaniards fear to tread by bringing up Madrid's strong links to the Franco regime. "What made it really obscene was that Madrid, as General Franco's club, had a history of being able to get whoever and whatever they wanted, before democracy came to Spain," the manager said. Marca were clearly unhappy as they appeared to use Ferguson's working class background to explain why he had chosen to make a statement about the el Real's history. On the front page of Thursday's edition, the Madrid-biased periodical had a five-picture mock up of Ferguson morphing into Franco above the headline "Ferguson Senile". The paper stated inside that the United boss was saying things and doing things at Old Trafford that were influenced by his age and that his senility was ensuring that he said things like the recent interview. Calderón recognised that he was not going to sign Ronaldo in the summer and is evidently not keen for the matter to resurface given the recent spate of criticism his presidency has attracted from Madrid fans. "I'm not going to waste any time answering him, I admire his record, but he is getting old," he told Marca. Calderon + Marca = the worst duo possible |

If you're going to insult Fergie, at least get your own insults, and not use one Fergie has already used on Blatter. |

Ferguson should stop thinking he's a politician. |

His comments about Real Madrid in GQ were thoughtless and ill considered and the sort of thing you'd say to a mate in a pub, not to a magazine that you know will get published around the world. |

For Arsenal to buy we have to sell and when Arsene does buy it is usually peanuts. |

Is 17m Anderson better than 3m Diaby? I dont think so. Is Berbatov who cost 30m better than 7m Adebayor? nope. |

Oh dear, a Man U - Arsenal debate... Anderson will be miles better than Diaby, though i agree with you on Adebayor. |

but you pay for proven quality, if you pay for unproven players who could fall by the wayside it could turn out just as expensive, at the end of the day, are you happy for wenger to keep saving arsenal money whilst other clubs keep taking the silverware |
