Alex Ferguson is curious how Arsenal reached the double last year, so he decides on a visit to London to see how Arsene Wenger coaches his team.
After a day he is not really impressed by the training practices, so he asks Wenger how he gets his players so sharp. 'Well it is simple. I sometimes ask my players a difficult question, and that way they stay really sharp mentally'. Of course Fergie wants an example, so Wenger asks Bergkamp to come over to the touchline.
Arsene asks: 'Dennis, he is not your brother, but still he is your father's son. Who is he?'
'That is not difficult', Dennis answers immediately, 'Of course that is me'.
'You see? That's the way you keep them sharp', Wenger says to Fergie.
Ferguson, who wants to win the double also, decides to bring this into Manchester United's practice the next day. He calls David Beckham over to the touchline. 'David, I have a question for you', he says, 'He is not your brother, but still he is your father's son, who is he?'.
'Bleedin' 'ell', is the Spice Boy's reply, 'That is a tough one to answer, can I sleep on that one night, and why have you asked me this question?'
Fergie explains it has to do with some continental coaching trick and agrees with the one night postponement.
So that night Beckham decides to call Jaap Stam. He has played on the continent, maybe he knows something about these continental coaching methods. 'Jaap, maybe you know the answer to this question, he is not your brother, but still he is your father's son. Who is he?'.
'That is easy, that is me!', says Jaap Stam.
So the next day David walks full of confidence to Ferguson. Fergie asks: 'David, do you know the answer to my question now?'. 'Yes it was actually very easy', he says, 'It's Jaap Stam'.
Ferguson answers: 'No of course not you fucking arsehole. It's Dennis Bergkamp.'



Des Lynam, Alan Hansen, and Andy Gray are standing before God at the throne of Heaven. God looks at them, and says, "Before granting you a place at my side, I must first ask you what you believe in."
Addressing Mr Hansen first, he asks "What do you believe?"
Big Al looks God in the eye, and states passionately, "I believe football to be the food of life. Nothing else brings such unbridled joy to so many people, from the slums of Sao Paolo,t o the mansions of Chelsea. I have devoted my life to bring such joy to those people who stood on the terraces at Anfield"
God looks up,and offers Alan the seat to his left.
He then turns to Andy Gray. "And you, Mr Gray. What do you believe?"
Andy stands tall and proud, "I believe courage, honour, and passion are the fundamentals to life,and I've spent my whole playing career providing a living embodiment of these traits"
God, moved by the passion of the speech offers Andy the seat to his right.
Finally, he turns to Des Lynam. "And you, Mr Lynam. What do you believe"
"I believe", says Des, "You're in my seat".

Genie : You have 3 wishes, but whatever you wish for, David Beckham gets twice, OK ?
