Ok everyone, I am Norwegian, and I have read the apology that the Scandinavian Supporter Branch posted on their website, and what happened was this:

Alex Ferguson was misquoted by one of the 'journalists' that work for the Supporter Branch in saying that he had made a bid for Berbatov and was sure that the deal would go through. (This was a misquote remember! Fergie never said this!) So when the scandinavian supporters read this on the website, they reposted it on other forums, the rumour spread and all of the sudden the english media got a hold of it and they blew it up to MASSIVE proportions as they always do. This resulted in Tottenham getting a hizzy fit against Fergie, using this ONE misquote to call him a hypocrite and what not. (And I must say that Spurs should have checked they're sources before pursuing this like they did).

Fergie didn't understand jack when this got out, and said it would be embarrassing for Tottenham if they pursued to file a complaint based on something that he knew was never said (but just misquoted and spread on forums.)

Then the Supporter Club realised their HUGE mistake and had to apologize to the supporters and the media, which they did, and now this is hopefully over...
