No, sorry you dumb f*cks, Rafa calmed feud with Fergie by not rising to the bullsh*t that the old tw*t has been spouting for the past couple of days. It absolutely beggars belief. :angry:

Yeh, he calms down the feud by reaffirming his previous words.

Yeh, right.

The League Managers Association have attempted to broker a peace agreement between Mr. Ferguson and Rafa Benitez in a bid to end the escalating war of words between the bitter title rivals. They have sent a written request, on Manchester United headed notepaper, that Benitez resigns with immediate effect and that Liverpool FC withdraw from their final six league games and concede the Premier League title to Ferguson's United.

Richard Bevan, the LMA chief executive, contacted the managers of Manchester United and Liverpool over the weekend after Ferguson made a brilliantly thought out and well executed observation about the contemptuous and arrogant Benitez. He stated that unless the wishes of the LMA, which Mr Ferguson had advised them of earlier today, were complied with, he would have no alternative but to implement a new law, which would be retrospective, to allow them to have Benitez shot out of a cannon in the general direction of Madrid.

Ferguson accused the Spaniard of 'arrogance' and showing Sam Allardyce 'contempt' when Liverpool scored their second goal against Blackburn the previous weekend. Allardyce, who has done such sterling work for the LMA in recent years, made a complaint at the time for the gesture which was completely ignored by the Liverpool Manager, who would not even attend the compulsory after match drinks and nibbles party. Benitez might well have said that he was directing the gesture at his players, but we will never know because he refused to attend the press conference that Mr Ferguson had granted him. He may well have been off somewhere celebrating Hitler's birthday. Hitler was a man who was full of disrespect and hatred, who wasn't interested in tradition and only cared about European domination, so he may possibly be a bit of an idol to Benitez. He chose instead to send Sammy Lee to the conference, in a show of further hostility and repugnance towards our Knight of the Realm in Manchester.

One senior member of the LMA said: 'It's an emotional time of the season, getting ready to celebrate Manchester United's impending victories, but Alex has taken the time from his extremely hectic schedule to have seized on something that was completely true and relevant. These things do happen when we have foreign managers coming over here to try and steal Manchester United's Premier League trophy. It is not a healthy situation and, hopefully, the LMA can help Liverpool draw a line through Benitez's contract and send him home. They should replace the Spaniard with a decent English manager, approved by His Graciousness Lord Ferguson, possibly the sterling LMA worker Mr Allardyce. Or maybe Ian Dowie.'

Liverpool assistant manager Sammy Lee came to Mr Ferguson's defence yesterday, saying: 'I am surprised Rafa never listened to me on the Sunday morning. I told him that Sam clearly mentioned how upset he was when the two of us had a drink after the game. Rafa didn't come though, saying something about leaving his wallet at home and was worried that a thieving Scouser would break in and steal it.

'I'm fairly sure that, if Rafa felt that strongly about treating Sam with the respect a man of his character and achievements in the game deserves, he would have made an immediate apology to him, and at the same time, he could have sent an apology up to Mr Ferguson in case he was upset in any way. But there wasn't a single word. I think I might have heard Rafa mutter "I have nothing but contempt for him." I might be wrong. But I'm probably not.

"What surprised me more than anything was that everyone on the bench thought we knew what the gesture was about. We assumed that it concerned something we thought should be done out on the pitch, but thanks to Lord Ferguson's keen eye, we now know it wasn't. It still resulted in a goal so, naturally, there were a few repugnant smiles from Benitez. And then he whispered "Game over Fat Head" with real scorn in his voice.

Everybody knows that Benitez does not celebrate goals. He's a foreigner, and they just don't understand the strong tradition of overt displays of jubilation, as witnessed yesterday when Mr Ferguson was so excited and happy that Mike Riley didn't award a penalty and give his team an unfair advantage. So straight away we knew something was different. When he asked for his factor 15 sun tan lotion and a glass of sangria, I knew that he thought the game was over, and that he did not consider Blackburn a threat or a big team. It was shocking that he didn't pay closer attention to the aerial dominance and goalscoring prowess of Christopher Samba. If we haven't managed to get rid of him by the time we play the team that wasn't quite big enough for Big Sam, Newcastle, let's hope he doesn't treat Shola Ameobi with the same disdain.

Hopefully, the LMA can 'act quickly to get him out of our club, let His Highness Ferguson appoint a successor, and help return us to our rightful place below Chelsea and Arsenal. They may have foreign managers, but they're different. His eminence Mr Ferguson likes them."

Hes the one who started it. Rafa didn't reply and now Fergie is saying he doesn't want to talk about it any more? :laugh: Fergie is trying real hard to get a reaction out of Rafa but it's not working.

Ding Dong Round 5

But this time its Rafa :laugh: 

We've got Fergie worried, claims Rafa
by Tom Adams , 24 April 2009 
Liverpool: Babel: Next season is make or break Liverpool: Defence must improve, says Reina 9Liverpool: Voronin 'unfortunately' back at Anfield 18read comments (3) | have your say
Rafa Benitez has again risked the wrath of Sir Alex Ferguson by claiming that the Manchester United manager knows Liverpool are ‘the better side’ and that rival managers are afraid to stand up to the Scot.

Ferguson and Benitez have indulged in a series of verbal exchanges in recent months, most recently when the Manchester United manager accused his opponent of ‘arrogance’ and ‘contempt’ following some alleged gestures directed at Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce.

Liverpool assistant Sammy Lee strongly defended Benitez when standing in for the Spaniard in his weekly press conference, but the Reds boss has broken his silence in an interview with a newspaper in his homeland.

Denying that he is involved in an all-out slanging match with the old master of mind games, Benitez instead claims that Ferguson’s public declarations stem from a recognition that Liverpool, three points behind their rivals having played a game more, are a real threat to United’s Premier League dominance.

"I'm not having a battle of words with Alex Ferguson," Benítez told ABC. "But I believe that he can see that we are the better side, and that we are very close to United.”

Ferguson and Arsene Wenger used to enjoy some heated verbal tussles when Arsenal were the dominant threat to United but as The Gunners have slipped off the pace, their antipathy has waned.

Benitez now feels that he is the lone figure challenging the Scot - who has reigned supreme at Old Trafford since 1986 - and is clearly aggrieved at the freedom with which Ferguson conducts his verbal attacks.

“He has been accustomed to playing these types of mind games for many years,” Benitez added.

“Nobody has ever said anything against him, or stood up to him, as he has a very good team that can win trophies.

“It seems like he has a licence to do these sorts of things."

Nanny, more than to Ferguson, that's a dig to the media and some football people in England. He's calling them basically obedient sheeps.

I think what you say is true Nanny, and whatever happens this season, ORN and the media know that his time is almost up  :D


However. Rafa needs to be successful on the pitch, otherwise he risks just looking like a yapping dog

Our cupboard is mighty bare at the moment...

I get worried when Rafa makes these sort of comments before a game. He should have saved this for after the Hull game had we won. Now if we drop points tomorrow Rafa is just going to end up looking silly. Fergie will no doubt make some comments in response later and we are going in circles.

was that something recent he said, or the same time he commented on the winners of our CL QF would go on to be the bigger challengers?


well that worked out, eh Fergie?  :idea
