Liverpool manager, Rafael Benitez, has launched a scathing, yet comical, attack on Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United today.
He starts by claiming he doesn’t want to get involved in mind games, then goes off on some long, babbling rant, talking about how Ferguson has recently been given a touchline ban for confronting a referee, only to later claim Ferguson is the only manager who gets away with poor conduct towards referees.
He know which referees were on duty for which games, what incidents took place and decisions that were made. Obsessed much?
“I want to be clear. I don’t want to play mind games too early. I think they want to start. I will say some facts so it’s easy to talk about this,” started Benitez, sounding fairly reasonable. This was obviously the calm before the storm.
“On November 1, Manchester United played against Hull and Mr Ferguson received a two-match touchline ban and was fined £2,000 after the game for confronting Mike Dean and for improper conduct,” he continued. “We started the Respect campaign and started with Mascherano’s sending off at Old Trafford. Steve Bennett was the referee then, and he was also the ref when they played 
against Wigan and he could not see the handball from Rio Ferdinand. He didn’t give a penalty and they won the game and won the title. I think the same referee, Mr Bennett, will be in charge for the game in hand against Wigan. During the Respect campaign, Mr Ferguson was in fact charged for improper conduct for comments made against Martin Atkinson and was not punished.”
The rant then continues, with Benitez bleating about the fixtures. Ferguson correctly pointed out that we were at a disadvantage because of the fixture list this season. We have played all of the top ten teams from last season away from home already. Whilst of course this gives us an easier second half to the season, the damage could have already been done psychologically if going in to January miles behind the leaders. Fortunately, Liverpool and Chelsea haven’t taken advantage of the fact United have had trickier fixtures.
“If he wants to talk about fixtures, and have a level playing field as you say in England,” he continued. “There are two options if we don’t want more problems with fixtures. One is the same as in Spain, the draw for the first part of the league is known, everyone knows which weekend. In the second-half everyone plays the opposite, so you all know. Sky and Setanta have the right to choose their games and it will be the same for everyone. So Mr Ferguson will not be complaining about fixtures and a campaign against United. Or there is another option. That Mr Ferguson organises the fixtures in his office and sends it to us and everyone will know and cannot complain. That is simple.”
Has he finished? Oh no, far from it.
“We know what happens every time we go to Old Trafford and the United staff,” he rants on. “They are always going man to man with the referees, especially at half-time when they walk close to the referees and they are talking and talking. All managers need to know is that only Mr Ferguson can talk about the fixtures, can talk about referees and nothing happens. We need to know that I am taking about facts, not my impression. There are things that everyone can see every single week. Are they under pressure? Maybe they were not thinking that we would be at the top of the table in January. But we are at the top of the table and they are nervous. I am not telling the authorities what to do. But I have been here for five years and know how things are going on.”
Of course, United get everything our way. That’s why our left-back was banned for four matches for punching a member of Chelsea groundstaff, even though the FA happily admit the CCTV footage didn’t show this happen. That’s why our players got banned for three Premiership matches following red cards in the Amsterdam tournament when Liverpool players got away with nothing. That’s why our player got banned for eight months and fined £50,000 for missing a drugs test when a City player who did the same in the same year got off with a £2,000 fine and no ban. Yes, Mr Benitez, your knowledge of ‘how things are going on’ in the past five years is superb!
He still hasn’t finished though.
“I was surprised United wanted to start the mind games too early, maybe it is because we are top of the table. But I only wanted to explain our position,” Benitez said. “I have decided that I had a lot of information and I have been watching every single week what has been going on. Then they started talking about us, but every single week we know they will be talking. But we want to stay at the top and maybe they will talk about us right to the end. To hear someone talking when he has problems with referees every single week, and now complaining about the fixtures and complaining about everything, I think that is not fair. You can see every single week how they put (referees) under pressure, we know this. We have seen it before. We have seen players sent off at Old Trafford and we do not see our opponents sent off. It is part of the game. But to complain and to always have an advantage is not fair.”
What the fuck? Sit down and shut up, you fat Spanish waiter. If you’re trying to prove Ferguson wrong in his claims that you don’t have the bottle to win the league, doing your best Kevin Keegan in melt down impression isn’t going to get you far! This is far worse than King Kev though, whose mad ‘I’d love it if we beat them’ episode occurred just before rolling over as we strolled to the title, as Benitez is sat there with notes! Before attending a press conference ahead of his side’s match away to Stoke, he has sat down and written what he is going to say about Sir Alex Ferguson and United. This isn’t a random act of madness, rather, pre-meditated. Whatever questions he was going to be asked today, he had gone with the sole intention of ranting and raving about our manager. What a fucking nutcase. I’m sure even Ferguson himself couldn’t have imagined his ‘lack of bottle’ comments having this much impact!
If you missed it, check out Sky Sports News, it’s doing a loop and is guaranteed to make you chuckle every time you see it.
FACT – Fat Spanish Waiter Has Lost The Plot
Man Utd News 24/7
Oh dear he seems to be doing a Kevin Keegan already we are only just past Xmas, “I’ll love it when we beat them, love it!!”
This is fucking great stuff, he’s obviously shitting himself. Id say Fergie is laughing away at himself when he heard this…
he doesnt make sense. against hull sir alex served a ban, then he goes on to say sir alex never gets punished what a fool. he goes on to complain that liverpool played bolton before we played boro, but conveniently forgets that we were in japan.
in short, benitez = dumbass. makes sense if you remember what team he manages.
here;s the whole transcript for a laugh;
http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_4770329,00.html
Enjoying being part of all this again even if we don’t win the league but isn’t his finest hour i must admit. Still, ferguson’s annual rant about fixtures is a little tired particularly given how similar our away fixtures have been apart from going to your place.
STR is your job searching the internet for football stories? Awesome, it’s what i do all day as well but with the constant threat of a p45 hanging over me.
Ha ha ha ha what a bunch of wankers… sounds to me like Rafa has caught Fergie where he can be caught. Now the whiners will show up on all the blogs to complain that Mr. Innocent is being attacked. Ha ha ha ha what a laugh! So it all continues, business as usual.
well said stephen…kevin keegan all over again
haha hes just a fat spanish waiter, fat spanish waaaaaiiiter!
has he not seen the footage of kevin keegan all those years ago? what a clown.
and yeah scott? do you get paid for scouting football stories? if so, how! keep it up mind, i couldnt cope without my daily dose of the republik
benitez shitting himself ha dont make me laugh your team cant even beat derby with all your stars sorry i mean star not only are we top now we have 2 of the top 5 players in the world can it get any better yes when chelsea beat you on sunday
I hope he keeps ranting and raving up until we meet in March. Hilarious. What a muppet. Fergie should just tell him to fetch him a beer. Then he’d go properly psycho
Rafa Benitez is a two faced cunt who is nice in front of you but will stab you in the back.You know what the funniest part is?He is complaining about the Wigan game from last season and he might be right.I am sorry,did we take any title at Liverpool’s expense and i can’t remember it?Avram Grant never complained,why does he?Is this what Liverpool have come to.Supporting Chelsea to take the title.And since he is forgetting i will mention some instances since he believes that after SAF slammed Hackett the ref were helping us.At the 1-1 draw at Blackburn we didn’t get a penalty on Ronaldo.At the home game with Arsenal,Adebayor scores with his HANDS.At Stamford Bridge Chelsea beat us with a controversial penalty.The only instance that we were done a small favor was the Wigan game.But if we had got the right decisions in those games,we would have been champions by the Wigan game.He is such an idiot.He says that SAF gets away with anything but he mentions the punishment after Hull.I will say something else.He is right about the fixture list since Liverpool have gone to the same away grounds.However Liverpool didn’t play all of their away games after Ch.League matches of Internationals.
here come the desperate pleas of supposed title credentials by scousers linked to this blog by the worry at their dizzy manager’s meltdown…no new contract as well, sounds like poor old crazy Rafa is getting worried about the lot…here’s me thinking Ferguson was a bit silly to make the claim of a conspiracy against us by the Premier League and then a week down the line his plan comes to a perfect fruition and I feel naive for doubting the great man in the first place…roll on may and all the sobbing scousers
Redgister, it cant get any better? how about winning the league title you fucking twat?
Good point about Derby though, we should ship them down the Premier League, Champions League and World Club Championships cause thats how it works. You spasticated muppet.
I ment or Internationals.And one last thing:No Rafa it’s not early for mind games for you.You are going to need them since your honorable captain will be a jaibird by the end of the month.
Brilliant!! he is absolutely right and PERFECT timing before the Chelsea game….
Ha ha ha
Absolutely superb…..
“Fat Spanish Waiter”.
say no more, say no more.
i would check the shipping address north stand i think u will find it says anfield not derby
606: DEBATE
For a manager who is clear at the top of the league it seems that pressure has indeed gotten to Benitez
steveetienne
+1
Just concentrate on beating Stoke, you cunt
brilliant Sean if he’d made some decent points…hadn’t rambled or looked like he’d lost the plot or attacked a man and team personally which makes him look silly because Ferguson hasn’t dont that…if he’d come out and said something like ‘not so sure about the conspiracy, United will play against all the top teams at home in second half of season, so you make your mind up on that one everyone?’ (bit of a laugh and smile) and carry on…Instead, he’s claimed Steve Bennett is somehow linked to United and on our payroll or something and moaned about incidents and games from last year? when you were not even in a title race from about November…this will get all the United team going like nothing else whilst your own team will look and ponder/worry about some of the more ridiculous comments….it’s the worst thing he could have done, should have just lef tus all to worry about Derby, instead there’s an immediate challenge now for United…I think I’ll be proved right after this weekend, Ferguson has baited Benitez with his comments perfectly and Benitez looks like a bit of an idiot for launching such a disproportionate and personalised attack
Shut up Sean, what is funny about it? The fact that your Fat Spanish Waiter for a manager is going into meltdown. And its only just January!!! Ha Ha Ha!
For any overseas United fans Canal Street is the “gay area” of Manchester. What this has to do with Rafa doing a Keegan I really don’t know. We are right behind you dippers!
I don’t think they will choke against Stoke to be honest but the waiter is showing the same symptoms he showed last season.They don’t bother me.The only ones he affects are his players on whom he puts a great burden.He really thinks he can affect Fergie?The man has won mind games against Clough,Lippi,Wenger,Mourinho and Hitzfeld among others.I will say that it is pathetic though.He is hoping to influence a referee before a Man United Wigan game.Say Rafa,how many games does your captain have before jail?
Somebody tell Rafa to Fuck off! Moanin Cunt! Eva since his team beat us at Anfield, he thinks he is premier league top brass! No one fuckin cares about refs Rafa! Just cause Liverpool are top for the first time in ages they have to try and savour it abit by givin it the mouth! it is all about business, and Man Utds business is 1st Place in the league come May standard. So Fuck off Rafa! Utd will catch’em and then crush Liverpools dreams when we slaughter them at Old Trafford!
From the Waiter’s perspective, the timing of his rant could not have been worse. What does he think’s going to happen? That our lads will suddenly turn into a quivering wreck against the Rent Boys?
He is fighting fire with fire with the master of mind games and will end up getting burnt. As each year passes, the pressure grows and grows on Merseyshite.
Sorry Redgister, will you say that again? I cant understand you’re retarded gypsy scouse inbred accent…
dont worry about rafa just concentrate on blaming the refs the english fa the unfair fixtures the anti man u media the linesmen the coin toss thats what u do best
well rafas clearly worried about us..all set with his little piece of paper…and the jokes he wasn’t able to deliver quite as cooly as he’d imagined when rehearsing….’er, er…zonal mark…erm…the staff…because they follow the ref around..especially at half-time mr. scolari…watch out’ (silence from journalists)….what a fuckin gnome
Talk about “Bait meet Flame”, ha!
Wenger’s bought it in the past, as has (most famously) Keegan. Benitez adds his name to the list and it’s only fucking January!
Also, redgister, 5 best players in the world? Alonso is playing well, admittedly, but him aside only Torres would have a chance of displacing a United player out of our 1st XI.
Stevie Me’s going to find it hard getting into any first team from behind bars.
LOL he read from prepared notes? Was he worried about forgetting the words for his big moment. What a troll.
Blame them for what Redgister? For being the English, European and World Champions???
You are making a fool of yourself redgister. Run along to a dippers blog.
Who the fuck is the Wild Man of Borneo standing next to Kevin, sorry Rafa in that photo, certainly wouldn’t like to get on the wrong side of him!
Fergie is a fuckin Jedi master! The waiter has lost his shit, i’m sorry it is obvious. The moronic sheet of paper with his “evidence” awesome. I love seeing these chumps melt down over and over and SAF/Yoda just keeps on opening up kegs of whup ass on all of them over and over again. “He talks to the refs”huh I thought that’s what managers did, manage the game (including refs) that’s their fucking job! Biting the pillow the fat waiter is my young padowans.
Stephen, I think that’s Rafa’s carer.
i have to be honest rafa did brilliantly there every year fergie will come out publically and blasts anyone hes scared of beating him….. this year its liverpool.
rafa wasnt a babbling wreck he was calm and composed and came up with some very decent points alex and united are the media/fa’s ‘team’.
guarenteed now fergie will rant back aobut liverpool being nervous etc etc. but thats how he started it and FINALLY someone puts him in his place… good on benitez
to jake specifcally you have said in your first sentence fergie hasnt said anything persoanl about liverpool and he has which you then later prove yourself saying his comments about liverpool have worked perfectly…. talk about contradictions…lol.
Benitez has shown strength and passion if anything i think fregie will be worried that someone has stood up to him.
best to all
I was referring to the comments about the premier league conspiracy Ferguson made which have clearly baited Benitez but he has said Liverpool will get nervous which I forgot about…but that didn’t seem to be Benitez’s main gripe did it?
I cannot wait for the Premiership to sail past that shit hole again! “Our season” almost as funny as city!
Thanks for being honest chris, good man.
How can you say he did brilliantly? or that he was calm and composed and came up with some decent points? The fat spastic pulled a fucking essay from his pocket for fucks sake!!! He had clearly been compiling it (probably with the help of Sammy the mini sumo wrestler) since his last shift as a waiter finished early Tuesday morning, and has been rehearsing in front of his mirror ever since!!!
It looked pathetic, a bit like your club…
Great strength how? Surely paranoia, he seems to be a voyuer with regards to our club probably knows what Ronaldo had for breakfast this morning, maybe jelous of our success which is understanable, with regards to him being scared, I am sure Fergie will be laughing his arse of mate, as he again is able to wind up a lesser man and manager. Maybe he should be concentrating on his own sides game rather than ours.
Benitez very first sentence proves his whole rant wrong. He said Fergie was punished for comments made about Mike Dean, only later he said Fergie never gets punished. Now, lets see if Benitez gets fined for bringing the game in disrepute. Fergie must be laughing at Benitez waffling on like Keegan did
What a clown Benitez is.
All that jedi stuff is pretty dull really. As i recall mourinho certainly came out on top more than ferguson did in their little jousts and it only ever looks clever when you win. United have been the best team over the last number of years so his pontifications are considered to be genius. As soon as the success starts slipping away the same fans who lauded is mind tricks will be on blogs talking about how he has lost his magic even if he is acting in an identical fashion.
Benitez will look like keegan if liverpool lose the title to united but if we win it this will be acclaimed as a masterstroke.
north stand you must go through some keyboards with all that angry typing.
No redgister ya clown..I think being Premier league champs, European champs and World champs is what we do best!!!!
agreed ace, but it’s too easy to dismiss the consequences of someone’s actions from afar as having little or no effect on a team(s) …I think this Benitez incident is pretty extreme, it lacks humour, relevance and in large parts basic intelligence so I think you can deduce that a number of your own team will be left a little puzzled by it all (even more quizzical looks at the manager) whilst United can only take heart from it’s ridiculousness and ferocity as it will no doubt spark them into a bit of life.
He’s lost it. He is not playing mind games but rather playing with his mind. I think he is showing to the world that the scousers will not hold for long at the top and because Fergie is complaining, they will lose the league. HA HA HA. Grow up benny hill, sorry benny tez.
Fair enough Jake – i’m not defending the whole thing just trying to ease the sense of discomfort it has caused me to be honest and put a little perspective into the whole thing. as i said above it’s not rafa’s finest moment and there is a touch of the nervous best man about the delivery but i’ll not give it much more thought if results go our way this weekend.
yeah he did pull an essay out his pocket which will be as much due to his admitadlly poor english as it was tryin to get his point across and noone can say he is wrong apart from his contradiction of himself which admitadlly made me laugh aswell.
but fergie and united get away with a whole lot more than other premier league clubs which he pointed out and i believe was well overdue to be said. strength as in to stand up to fergie like noone else has managed to and i dont believe he lost his cool or temper he came out with relevent and accurate points which anyone other than a manc fan will agree with.
benitez probably knows most things about most clubs not just you lot the more you know the better chance of winning- makes sence.
im not a liverpool fan that is completely biased i know united have been incredibly succesful and there football is very very good but we arent top of the league by fluke and to do so without one of the best strikers in the world you bet ur arse hes worried.
thanx again
SAF has had his moments….BUT NEVER IN 30 YEARS OF MANAGEMENT Has he ever questoned the integruty of teams, the refs, and the league.
“MR FERGUSON NEVER GETS PUNISHED” = he’s the most punished manager in prem history..thats a fact you spanish waiter…not your toilet paper facts you had today.
” MR FERGUSON NEVER GETS PUNISHED” = the game you mentioned with mike dean he did!!!!
” MR FERGUSON NEVER GETS PUNISHED” = the game you mentioned against pompey with martin atkinson…that ref gave stinking decisions all game..he was so one sided it was untrue. Mr ferguson our manager was punished and charged…however the fA ballzed up on a techincality…not our fuckin fault you spanish waiter.
” Mr BENNETT didnt give a handball on rio ferdinand against wigan last season..same Bennett that sent of mascherano” You’re callling into the integrity of refs are you and picking incidents. Well you spanish waiter..mascherano was a red waiting to happen….3 crude challenges….5 hissy fits…6 times pulled away by his OWN players…yap yapping for 30 mins. even you spanish waiter and your own players and fans admitted he was a deffo red waiting to happen. Ref gave him plaenty plaenty chances. even the liverpool players alonso, carragher admitted that. As for bennett giving us a decision…what about scholes chopped in the box in the same game….no pen given….what about carricks pen v rboys..that was lame…what about ronaldo raped in the box no pen v pompey…and 15 offside goals disallowed last year which were on for us….pens we never got….decisions we never got. everybody has to take the rough with the smooth you bastard. And lest we forget…..how refs let you off 2001 fa cup final….henchoz 2 blatant handballs on the line…..garcia phantom goal…del boy onside goal at anfield…inter 2 dodgy reds…gerrard dives v milan in 05 final…gerrard dives v nearly every prem team + atletico in the 95th. You want me to pick incidents you spanish waiter…theres a whole encyclopedia on you dippers….evertone can pick incidents you twat.
” MR FERGUSON..SCOLARI AND CHELSEA SHOULD BE CAREFUL…UTD STAFF ALWAYS FOLLOW REFS INTO DRESSING ROOMS” = no dickhead…ive never seen fergie do that in 30 years of watching utd…mourinho does that..and did v barca…anders frisk etc. Ive never seen SAF do that..he hates ref. Glad thats cleared up
” MR FERGUSON complains about fixtures..WE ALL PLAYED SUNDAY..WHILST THEY PLAYED BORO MONDAY.” = you thick bastard..boro agreed to that 3 months ago…it was them that initiated it….+ we played stoke AWAY friday morning after 7000 mile journey 2 days before.
” MR FERGUSON AND HIS FIXTURES” = you thick bastard again…FACT…NOT YOUR TOILET PAPER FACTS. WE HAVE PLAYED ALL THE TOP 10 teams away from home…we had dippers and rboys in same fuckin weeks. WE had 6 away games after every home and away european game. Something even wenger agreed on. 6 away games…eg celtic away game…sat morning arsenal away….that was same for 3 months. DID YOU HAVE THAT YOU BASTARD…NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. You had all home games after europe….arsenal had all home after europe….rboys had all home bar 1. 6 compared to 1-0-0. IS THAT FAIR YOU TOILET PAPER BASTARD?????
“MR FERGUSON THINKS HE’S ABOVE THE LAW” is that why our club have been charged more than any other…..is that why..rio got 9 month ban and 50 k fine even though not guilty. YET negoui for same offence got nowt. and Mutu who was guilty of cocaine was given less. Or the same FA that gave evra a 4 match ban for being mowed down by a lawnmower and called racist insults..yet even though cctv prooved he didnt punhc and that bastard bethell did..evera was banned instead and given a 4 match ban. And to top all that we were humiliated by FA who unprecentedly published it all. The Same Fa who did these things to us yet then admitted they were wrong…eg David davies former chief exec of fa on rios ban…which he staed…” we made him a scapegoat” you may forget also..how our scholsey and rooney were banned for pre season reds….yet your dipper mellor and gerrard got away scott free. i could go on and on you dipper bastard.
The facts are our manager was talking about OUR team and OUR tough fixture list and being handicapped. We couldnt give a shitless about you dippers….who are getting abit giddy for the first time in 2 decades….first time never mind wina title but are in a race ahem..lol. The air on the summit is getting to you..getting all paranoid and giddy. OUR MASTeR HADNT EVEN STARTED THE MIND GAMES…YET YOU WENT DOWN MORE EMBARRASINGLY THAN KEEGAN. I mean atleast fergie did incite him.
AS for you spanish waiter..you embarrased yourself and your club. I mean c’mon SAF always says refs should be better standard..or more fitter..or ex players..or more trained in europe….never once has he called them bribe takers and questioned their integrity. You twisted sick fuck.
hope the FA throw the book at you….for you toilet paper ” FACTS’
WE VE BEEN THE HUNTER AND HUNTED…CHASED AND LEAD AND SEEN OFF BIGGER AND BETTER THAN YOU….LEEDS…ARSENAL…ROVERS..NEWCASTLE AND THE RBOYS. Taking our trophy again in may and seeing your sipper bastard faces will be the best yet..
Now fuck you spanish waiting bastard…and hope your kidney stones come back and fuck you over again
Well said Suhayl!!!
I love when the scousers get all excited about being at the top of the league, makes it all the sweeter when they fall from grace and crash, as usual. Every year they say “I never thought we’d a chance in previous years, but this year I think we can..”, every fucking year!!!
A shower of sad muppets, and a joke of a club…
There goes another keyboard Ace.
hahaha I have just got in from work, this is fantastic news!
Rafa Benitez has only gone and done a Keegan! The fat Spanish waiter is clearly feeling the pressure! Thanks for all the motivation we need to beat you murdering, cheating scouse cunts at Old Trafford!
Oh yeh..i forgot how nevo was charged and fined 5k, when he was just celebrating and kissing out badge…whilst that dipper fowler 2 weeks later playing for shitty…was showing 5 fingers to our fans and showing his arse = NO CHARGE.
SO FUCK OFF YOU SPANISH WAITING GOATIE MOTHER GOAT SUCKING FUCKIN FAT FUCK.
I JUST cant wait for SAf to get stuck in…if he does..this muppet is going to be lamb…big fat lamb to the slaughter.
MASTER OF MIND GAMES..WITHOUT EVEN PLAYING MIND GAMES WINS AGAIN…..
DIPPER BASTARDS.
pardon my french to anyone offended
suhayl mate that was fucking EPIC! i wanted to make that points but dont have the stamina to type up all the inaccuracies and contradictions that fat spanish waiter said. also why do scousers feel it necessary to come on our blog? at least if i were to go on a rentboy/dipper blog i might try and present a reasonable argument so i wouldnt get ripped by their fans? tards, guess thats what not going to school gets you
suhayl, you are a genius.
and redgister…go on and dip or rob somewhere else.
Failsworth where are you mate..upload those scouse jokes if you read this……could do with the 2nd biggest laugh today
LOL Benitez really went off on this one, didn’t he? In one way, it seems like he’s taken the bait, lost the plot and is just basically capitulating under the pressure and mind games from Fergie.. if this is the case, then it’s hilarious!!! On the other hand, this could be a calculated move to step up the mind games, and with the Chelski game this weekend, put some pressure on the referees. It is a big game for us and he couldn’t have timed it better. Also, I believe this is his first press conference since his kidney stones surgery and what a way to get back into the mix of things.
I don’t for one second believe Rafa is losing the plot, rather, he is raising the stakes and not since Mourinho or the old Wenger has a manager replied Fergies’ jabs with equal jabs of their own, in this case, a haymaker. It will be interesting to see how Fergie replies to this, as what this rant has succeeded in doing is painting Fergie and United in a very negative light with regards to influencing referees and generally whining about stuff. This would only make the neutrals hate us more (as if the hate we face now isn’t enuff) and our games more scrutinised, hence, fewer positive game-changing decisions for us.
I’m really impressed with Rafa, I knew he was a master tactician, but he has really upped the ante here. He’s talking the talk of a manager who wouldn’t sit back and take the taunting. However, like I said earlier, this might not be the case, he might just be cracking under pressure but one thing he has succeeded in doing is putting a lot of pressure on the referee and players in this very crucial tie against Chelski.
Gabriel what you’re worried about????
the guy came out off it looking like a clown…a joke…a Fa charge…with his piece of toilet paper facts.
blimey the iraq dossier had more credence
This article sums it all up perfectly, roll on May
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2009/jan/09/ferguson-benitez-mind-games
That’s the funniest piece of shit i have seen .Seem’s like the waiter has lost his head . Please someone suggest him a good psychiatrist or he’ll go mad.
good article that jake lad.
true true Suhayi, he did look and sound comical… Like he was on trial, defending himself lol. There’s no doubt the rant will raise more questions about his nervousness but like I said, he has managed to put extra pressure on the refs and more scrutiny with regards to ref decisions, Fergie’s outbursts and even player offenses. The rest of the premier league’s fans now have another reason to spite us. Wanna bet most of them would be supporting Benitez, saying he is right about Fergie and United?
Now with this game against Chelski coming up, this is not the kind of media frenzy and attention we needed. Not only do the officials feel the pressure, the players will too. In a game where tempers are most likely to flare and decisions are going to be suspect, this is the last thing we need.
I just wouldn’t write this one off to nonsensical ramblings by the fat one, we have been writing off those scouse bastards for some time, maybe finally, they’ve got the hang of how to play and act with the Big boys.
Rafa, Rafa, Rafa… you silly old fool!
I feel sorry for him, the way he’s going on…
“I want to be clear. I don’t want to play mind games too early. I think they want to start. I will say some facts so it’s easy to talk about this,”
It’s like he has jumped out of bed, punching the air shouting “YES! I’m top of the league!!”
Then he has come out with that quote above as if he’s thinking “I am top of the league, I am not used to this… where does a manager at the top begin.. *Searches articles on Google* .. Ah, Yes, that’s right… Mind Games!”
Silly old fool indeed!
Who gives a fuck whether the Spanish scouse cunt makes sense anyway? He probably pisses himself in his sleep.
Saw that rant on Sky Sports News, fucking pissed myself. What a doughnut. He pipes up about Fergie and United getting away with shit, how about when that cunt Kuyt high kicked Phil Neville and got away with a yellow card, the same game where Stevie Me persuaded the ref to change his card from yellow to red.
suhayl
it’s was worth your own blog ) don’t you have one ? )
exellent.
He was making points but all I could hear was his title and his job slipping away. In nearly every press conference I’ve seen him do he’s been crying about one thing or another
Last week it was SG under pressure and not being able to handle it, this week it’s the boss. With games v Stoke, Everton and Chelsea coming up soon, I suspect Rafa knows his tenure at the top of the table is coming to an end. Ah well, Real Madrid next season starts to look promising. BTW could someone see if the Liver Bird has fallen off its perch? Cos Rafa certainly has.
hahaha having seen reports written about this on another site i thought i had to add a comment into this one…. mr ferguson i bet thatll piss of the scottish rudolph…rafa ‘forgot’ his title hahahahahaha…another way to wind him up and really add pressure to his tactics and judgement on sunday… even if raf, and i suspect he will, does face a fa fine itll be worth it cuz the spotlight will really be on even more on sunday…. more real fans looking at united badly and hopefully even the media will spot 5 players closely talking to the ref at half time down your long tunnel.
imagine fergies retirement plans blown out the window when we win the league this year hes gotta get 3 to overtake us then.
Ha ha any scousers think it was a good idea for benito to shoot his mouth off ha ha fair do he gets the record for the earliest keegan moment of the season.
Chris
You have proven yourself to be a deluded Scouse cunt – now fuck off back to Livershite land with your fellow Vermin.
LOL poor waiter, I can see a reply from SAF on the way.. if not so soon, then before the Liverpool game at OT..
Because United have done well in the 1st half of the season they call it an “advantage” that we have all the tough games home in the 2nd half, the ass hole wouldn’t admit how good we are to pass the 1st leg with 38 points and two home games postponed
colbert wow really relevant to the topic….. glad you know how to handle a debate withoutresorting to personal offence ,that trust me i can tell you no scousers are offended by, so you guys also realise that your manager is running scared of us and no turn to rele rubbish comments. lol u moron.
Does Rafa want to avoid ‘early mind games’ because he lost his recently?
Resorting to tiny differences in fixtures and refs etc, what an ****!
Chris,
Running scared? Win the league first, at least give us something to worry about. Jesus, 18 years have gone by since you won the league and your shit-filled brain has thickened up. Now fuck off – or does your ADHD mean that you need to be told more than twice?
your trying to catch us up we get it… and yeah we will win the league im confident about that the 2 strongest teams 2nd lhalf of season united and liverpool… were out of it by xmas usually and then we come closer 2nd half this year were not only in it were top so good luck with the catch up.
“Or there is another option. Mr. Ferguson organises the fixtures in his office and sends it to us and everyone will know and can not complain.That is simple.”
LOL Briiliaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant!
That should rile Ruldolph up proper!
And judging from some of the comments here and the fact that you took the time to respond to Benitez’s “rant” I would say JOB DONE!
LOL, beat you at you own game lads and you don’t know it!
Took the time to respond? It’s fucking hilarious. Of course we’re going to take time to laugh at our hated rivals manager making an utter twat out of himself.
Check the headlines, they’re all comparing him with Kevin Keegan.
LOL comparing him to Keegan is the first mistake,this was a calculated move, Keegan’s was an off the cuff rant. FACT! LOL
Also, judging from most of the comments I have read, it doesn’t seem anyone is laughing, instead spewing obscenities left, right and centre! LOL
How could you let this “fat spanish waiter” manager of a team who hasn’t won the title in 18 years rile you up?
CHECK MATE LADS CHECK FUCKING MATE! LOL
Still, can’t wait to see Rudolph’s response, like I said this would have riled him up proper, I can bet he isn’t laughing as many of you think he is!
Lol off dipper.
Canadian – show me who is riled here. We all find this fucking funny. We’re not worked up, we’re in our element… just like we were when Gerrard got charged.
Fergie won’t be riled. He’ll be sat at home chuckling, amazed at how well his comments worked on Benitez.
The fact that Benitez made this calculated move is all the more amusing. He fucking sat at home compiling notes about Ferguson and United the day before his team were playing in the league.
FACT – Ferguson got charged by the FA for his lack of respect against Hull. FACT – Ferguson is the only manager who can get away with showing disrespect.
Make your mind up ffs, loony tune.
Reading the comments from the ‘Pool fans on here I get the distinct impression that they actually believe they’ll win the title because they haven’t won it in 19 years – or simply because IT’S THEIR TIME.
Well fellas football doesn’t work like that. It’s usually the best team that wins the title and sorry, but ‘Pool haven’t yet done that. They haven’t proved to be the best team. Just because they are ‘top of the table’ doesn’t mean they are the best. The difference in fixtures has to be factored in.There’s still a long way to go – there’ll be many twists and turns, but three games coming up for ‘Pool could decide their season – v Stoke, Everton and Chelsea. If all they can manage is a draw in each of these games, then it’s season over for Benetez and his boys. But if they win them all doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll win the title. Consistency is the name of the game and ‘Pool have yet to achieve that.Their squad just isn’t strong enough to win the title – a team with full-backs as weak as theirs DOES NOT WIN TITLES.
Is it no wonder ABUs always say we get away with many decisions without stating facts? Yes we may have gotten away with some, but we get hit hardest with incidents as well they seem to forget. Maybe we can start compiling incidents that went against us and get all those ABUs to compile incidents that went for us, and compare it, maybe then can they shut up
If Benitez thinks being on top of the League in January has finally made him a great manager who can mouth of a load of bollocks and expect the world to agree, then he is sorely mistaken.
With that beard which makes him resemble an ugly cunt, and that mad raving which makes him the laughing stock of the town, i still think his reference to Bennett and the Wigan game could have some consequence. Maybe it was to get the referee ultra cautious in awarding anything to United and i wouldnt be surprised if we have to go against 12 men to win that game.
Which makes me believe that Benitez has lost the plot. He knows they cannot win the league with that shite of a team they have got on hand. And so as expected, he has stooped low to get his hands dirty in order to try and achieve, what we all know will never happen.
Go get a life Mr ‘I am a twat’ Benitez!
M.U.F.L
Somebody should write a song ‘the rafa rant’….ok, ok, I’ll do it:
(Sung to the tune of ‘Viva Ronaldo’):
rafa the nut case,
rafa the nut case,
he is playing mind games with fergie!
he say’s he won’t do it,
he say’s its too early,
but he’s doing it at fergie!
rafa the nut case,
rafa the nut case,
he’ll walk alone with his mind games!

Re: redgister
You say we couldn’t beat Derby, how observent,we were crap, as is stated on these boards, and were lucky to get away with just a 1 – 0 loss.
But where are the dippers in this competition?, Also, who got the run around in the FA Cup last season at Anfield by Havant and Waterlooville, and got knocked out at home by Barnsley?
So before you critisise United, take a look at your own heap of shite first.
Also, you claim you have two of the top five players in the world, who the fuck are they then? i’ve been racking by brains.
See you at Old Trafford! Your lot must be shitting lights!
One last thing. Who’s champions of England, Champions of Europe, and Club world champions? It’s not the Mickey Mousers is it?
To the Liverpool fans saying we’re are riled. Genuine question here, can you point me to ANY United discussion board that isn’t laughing or making jokes about this? I really would like to meet these “riled” United fans you speak of.
brlliant utd fans….i do see your point gabriel…dont worry though..beleive come may our trophy will be ours again. Corea no mate i dont….scotts legendary blog enuf for me.
