I personally thought it was rather pathetic that he came up with a dossier about Fergie. He lacks the quick wit or the ability to brush of comments without making a huge fuss about them.

Maybe if Mr Ferguson had to reply in Spanish he'd use notes also. Apparently Rafa has very quick wit in Spanish

Looks like Rafa has a fair few of the United fans ruffled?

While all the concern if he's gonna get sacked and Liverpool aren't gonna win anything?

Rafa 1 - Internet 0

he has us giggling...dunno about ruffled

your contribution has been noted.

Excellent, thanks.

I will say though, Rafa is not one to make hasty decisions and I'm almost certain he would've had something like this planned for quite a while. He would've also made sure that everyone at the club was aware of what he was going to do, from players to coaches to press officers etc, so it should not have an affect on the teams performance, which is really all that matters.

Note the "so far" in my post.. I am not claiming victory, nor do I even think we will win the league. However, you saying that Liverpool are only top of the league as a result of the trailing teams being poor is also the same as Liverpool are only on top as a result of them being better than the trailing teams so far this season.

You can have your own opinions on Liverpool all you like but they are presently top of the league and deserving of this position considering they have beaten the two teams that you will argue are actually better than them.

ye are saying the exact same thing just in opposite ways...funny how tone can change how something sounds..

raffa should of used the time to practice it in the mirror first.

Definitely, he could've perfected a Jamaican accent too to make it seem as if he really had gone mental, that would've been a much better idea.

It's amazing just how much some man u fans are getting in a strop over this.:D Rafa you are the man.

It's mad that the wheels are coming off at Liverpool already, even before they start inevitably sliding down to their rightful place in third.

Benitez and his rant just highlights who the big club now is, just in the same way that Ferguson's rant in 1988 (in a very similar vein) proved exactly who the big club was then. It also tells us what we already know, if Benitez doesn't win the league this year he is getting sacked.

I for one just hope the tide doesn't swing wildly as it did after 1988....

Oh dear.

so my point stands.

he cares.

this penny has a long fall

I've already said that he did not address Fergie's points. Maybe in ntlbell-land he did, but not in this world. Now, why don't you move along, and stop caring so much?

I don't think it was the fact that the poll were mentioned, it was the fact that Fergie was up to his usual tricks, which presented the reporter with the opportunity to ask the question.

Rafa was smart enough to ignore that question, and the rest is history.....:D

~Rebel~ · 10-01-2009 05:38PM

imo alex made his comment, rafa looked at the fixture list and thought 'awesome, ill have some of this!'

Well, maybe more like 'for sure, this timing is good for us, it gives me options, no?'

Trolling? How?

Do you not agree that Ferguson was only making the EXACT same point in 1988 because he was jealous of the Liverpool success at the time and needed to attack the obviously bigger club at that time? It's just a simple role reversal now.

Yeah but the difference now is that Benitez is not attacking a bigger club.

This part, my friend, is all relative! Thats obviously your opinion, but not everyone's. I couldn't care less really, not embarrassed at all, but i much prefer the game of football to the pantomime that constantly surrounds it. If it causes alex even a moments thought, good stuff, if it doesn't, meh nothing to lose in reality. Pool will keep winning or they won't. This won't be affecting it.

Some people would say falling out with half the media in Manchester is going on like a 12yr old.

this affects his memory how?

he's always spanish, he doesn't always look like a lost boy.

he's usually very well capable of putting his point across

looked lost out of his dept and not used to been in the position he's in.

he should of watched a few mourinho tapes or arsne to see how to it with style and a touch of class.
