Sir Alex: 700 EPL games as boss of the Red Devils

Sir Alex Ferguson, the durable but dour Scot, who has been manager of Manchester United since 1986 chalked up a remarkable 700 games in charge of his club in the match against Everton last Sunday. Sir Alex is the perfect fit for Old Trafford with his combination of skill for selecting just the right team and his understanding of the modern game. 700 games at the helm is a great achievement and one that should be recognised.

Fellow Premier League boss and sometime foe, Arsene Wenger, praised Sir Alex for his efforts. "It is dedication and it is a fantastic achievement,' Wenger said. 'He deserves a lot of credit to show such consistency at the top level which needs special qualities and special dedication. That certainly means 700 sleepless nights before and 700 sleepless nights sometimes after the game." Well done Sir Alex, but long live Spurs!
