alex ferguson chewing gum

x in the city

How much gum does this guy get through a game let alone a season.?!

I think its a bit disgusting tbh. He has some sponsor deal with orbit I bet.... he goes through crates of the stuff

Peyton Manning

Ok

Predhead

Please close this stupid thread.

Thrill

He keeps Wrigley in business all on his own. If he ever stops then I foresee big lay-off's at the company.

Gary ITR

Most interesting thread ever : oldrolleyes :

You think chewing gum is disgusting?

Ruu_Old

Some do chewing gum or like Johann Cruyff has the lolly pops. Hardly disgusting to chew gum though.

no its not disgusting to chew gum, but when your getting interviewed and when it seems like your chewing a whole pack at a time...

he is the only manager i see in the top flight chewing like its a religion.

GuanYin

Lots of coaches do it here (in the US). My old coach used to do it for nerves. I imagine it is the same at all levels.

Thrill

A few managers chew the stuff. It seems to be a habit, like smoking etc. It probably has to do with all the pressure they are under. Chewing may help to relieve it.

Then again, I'm probably talking a load of crap.*



*as usual

Davey Devil

He loves it so much he even eats it off the ground.

I was told to stop chewing gum when having a chat with someone before. Unreal how easily offended some people can be by something so small (imo).

If you think he's bad dont watch a baseball game. You have probably close to 50 people ALL chewing either gum or seeds.

cournioni

Allardyce did it all of the time, I think Harry Redknapp does also. Whats disgusting about chewing gum?

I've seen a good few players chewing gum aswell while playing, which I find fairly weird tbh. Cudicini is the one that springs to mind but there are plenty more that do it too.

If my memory serves correctly Ferguson gets through about 2 packets a game.

Isn't chewing gum a mild laxative? 2 packets = lots of time on the shitter

machiavellianme

Didnt he throw his chewing gum against the wall of the dugout at least twice this season? I hope he was reprimanded for littering.

Purely an illusion. Fergus has been chewing the same piece of gum since he won his first PL title 15 years ago.

It's lacking a bit of elasticity nowadays, hence he skimps on the post-match talky. He gets fierce lock-jaw.

Barely ever see him chewing during an interview! When he leaves the dug-out he always throws it down on the grass!

The guy certainly likes his gum.The only complaint I would have is when he chews it talking to the camera,it absolutely revolting.

delija_sever029

You gotta be taking the piss. Just because he chews gum and talks you find it revolting. C'mon man cop the fuk on
