Posted August 27, 200816 yr http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/...anja-Vidic.html In a frank interview, the Serbian defender was scathing of the climate in Manchester, and said he had found it hard to adapt. "I will never stay to live in England, that's for sure," said Vidic, 26. "You get only a brief glimpse of sunlight before it's all cloudy again. The winters are mild, but in summer the temperatures seldom go higher than 20C. And it rains, rains, rains. "In future, I would like to test myself in another top league. I'm thinking of Spain. At least there will be no reason to complain about the weather. In England, they say that Manchester is the city of rain. Its main attraction is considered to be the timetable at the railway station, where trains leave for other, less rainy cities." Vidic, who joined United from Spartak Moscow in January 2006, also had harsh words for the English approach to work. "It's not only the weather that I'm not happy about here," he told the Russian magazine Football Weekly. "In Russia and Serbia the people's way of life is similar. In England it's totally different. Here they just don't have time to feel the joy of life. "Throughout the week they all work so hard. They only talk to people at lunch break. Then in the evening they come home and watch the telly, so they can get up early for work the next day. "The only time to meet friends is at weekends, but for football players it's the busiest time of all. It was much easier for me to adapt to Russia than England. In England I had no one to talk to. The first month was especially hard. I lived alone in a hotel, which I left only for training. I thought I would go crazy inside those four walls."
August 27, 200816 yr That is hilarious, the cities main attraction is a board telling you how quickly you can leave. If Manchester is that bad, then what is Liverpool like?
August 27, 200816 yr He's come out today denying he said these things (as the lead story during the transfer window :blink: ) but I really wish someone would finally reach their breaking point and start calling the lawyers on these various papers like Cuddly Ken. I think I would rather read almost no news than to see something that is patently false, and then is denied a day later. It's riddiculous how this stuff is allowed to reach print if there is no truth behind it. I wonder what has happened to standards
