P.S. it would be very interesting,if just out of devilment, Ferguson refused to give any TV interviews ala BBC, on account that he was very conscious of his heavy accent after Benitez came out with his ignorant comments. Could ITV or SKY legally enforce it or punish UTD financially. I’d like to bet that the senior executives at SKY or ITV wouldn’t push their luck with Ferguson given the way he has stood his ground with the BBC.Only a thought but given the way the team have been playing it may give the press something else to talk about. Love him or hate him, Mourinho played the press with ease and very rarely were his team critisised when he gave the press a bigger bone to chew on after a match where Chelsea played badly.
One other thing I would love to see is all the other Premiershp manager’s who are not blessed with the Queen’s English get together and condemn Benitez on this one. I have never known a comment so disgraceful in all the time I have watched football. Ferguson may be portrayed in the media as being unpopular amongst other managers but that is media bullshit at it’s finest. Ferguson has a vast network of friends in the management game. I would love to see Wenger,Hiddink,Zola,Moyes,O’Neill,etc., even Shearer who we all hate make a stance on this because, a foreign manager is one thing, but regional accents are very strong in the UK and if Benitez is allowed to walk away smugly from this then the football authorities can stick their ‘RESPECT’and ‘KICK RACISM OUT OF FOOTBALL’ campaigns up their arses as far as I am concerned.

His tone just reeks of bitterness..it reveals a lot about how well he’s handling the pressure.

King Eric I have copied my response from last night. Ended up on a post about Kiko.

Benitez is a cunt! To taunt Sir Alex by saying he doesn’t understand him should bring him an FA disrepute charge. We all know that the English game is more cosmopolitan now than at any time in history and to mock the dialect of someone of such standing in the game is beyond reproach. Think back to Ardiles in the 80’s referring to Tottenham as Tottingham. We all laughed but it meant nothing. No one in the media took the piss out of him for it. The guy pronounced things differently but so what.
So when Benitez went on his famous rant, did we hear Fergie say ‘Hass a fack,what does that mean’? Did we fuck.
Benitez should be brought in front of the FA on this one because for all the mind games between Ferguson, Wenger,Mourinho and Benitez, until now no-one has tried to undermine an opposing manager by critisising his native tongue.
Benitez,remember this. Sir Alex has had differences with with Mourinho but now they are great friends, he has had differences with Wenger but they sit at charity events together and their great minds meet.Three men far more eloquent than you and more astute than you. To start mocking the dialect of fellow professionals be it managers or players will leave you a lonely and isolated figure in the English game with only your compatriots to talk to. But you’re probably used to that anyway.’HASS A FACK’!

P.S How does he understand Gerrard, Carragher and his assistant Sammy Lee. They all talk like they have got a nose full of snot. ‘Fact’

And I’m sure SAF doesn’t quite get FSW’s nincompoop Madrid accent. I sometimes wish Sky/Setanta put English subtitles when Rafa speaks. Rafa you cheesecake, shut your hole!

Think it was SmokeBreakSteve who did a good response on here last night about the FA bringing him up on a charge for racism. Comments about dialect etc are just not on.

Broken record. It just sounds like some ancient phonograph whose pin is stuck on the record and just keeps churning out the same old tune.

If you don’t care than concentrate on your own team and results.
