United players just have much more experience flying high

Its not all about “sorry” or “thank you”, she says in particular that none of the spurs player “would lift their window blinds for takeoff and landing” and this is a safety regulation. so the whole team behaved like a bunch of spoiled brats. i think(hope) harry’s arrival changed the situation…

@D + 1, Apparently manners are one of those quaint ideas that have been done away with. Just because people are doing their job, does not mean a Thank you, a sorry or an excuse is not appreciated and more so should be expected!

Haven’t done a lot of air travel Omer? It has nothing to do with being polite, it is actually a safety regulation and all airlines request that the blinds are opened when landing and taking off.

I can imagine Fergie scolding his players for being ill-mannered, he’s got that kind of old fashioned dad vibe. I served a few ex-footballers in my former career as a barman, and here’s the dirt: Hans Segers and Brian Deane are absolute gentlemen; Keith Gillespie is a turd. Oh, and the bloke from Steps who isn’t “H” is an uberturd. But he’s not technically a footballer.

[...] Man United players are nice to their flight staff. Spurs? Not so much. [WAATP?] [...]

Lol what’s rude about not lifting the blinds during take-off and landing?

Agree with Mic, a little bit of courtesy never goes amiss. Pretty sure it must have been Bent, he strikes me as less social than Berbatov away from the pitch (as evidenced by tw@tter).

thinking about it the spurs squad are about 80% english and the top four and some others are about 80% foriegn so my guess is please and thankyou are the only words they know apart from pass and shoot stuff like that, so they probably say it alot so it looks like they know english.

Haha sounds about right, there’s nothing wrong with manners, infact it’s quite rude not to say please and thankyou, that’s not me sat on my high horse, it just costs nothing to be polite and i’m just not a fan of rudeness. And yes it does sound like it was Bent with his ear phones though obviously all Spurs fans will claim it’s a different striker that’s no longer at the club, surprise.
