Precisely what I said. Title is all but Uniteds.

Yep. Officialy lost it. This is the sort of thing that Ferguson loves.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Seems to me that simply by coming out with that, you've already lost.

Prick.

He was not punished. He is the only manager in the league that cannot be punished for these things.

From the same Rafa Benitez who went unpunished when calling all English referees "weak" when asked why Bolton aren't punished for their "illegal tactics"? Prick.

Then he was talking about the fixtures. Two years ago we were playing a lot of early kick-offs away on Saturdays when United were playing on Sundays. And we didn't say anything.

From the same Rafa Benitez that moaned about Liverpool having so many early kick offs following international breaks? http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_q ... _n20523683 - Prick.

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.

From the same Rafa Benitez that spent the entire distance from dug out to tunnel at Old Trafford last season slagging Steve bennett off after he sent Mascherano off for continuously giving Bennett earache? Prick.

Advantage Ferguson and Scolari.

So, if I were about to start banging on about how Ferguson can say what the feck he likes and still get away with it, I'm pretty sure that my opening gambit wouldn't be: "On November 1, they played Hull and Mr Ferguson had a two-match touchline ban and a £10,000 fine after confronting Mike Dean, the referee, for improper conduct".

Why do people whinge on about fixtures all the time? You've got to play every team twice whenever it happens, what's the big deal with these c**ts?

I seem to recall - and I apologise if this has been brought up - that the easily-knighted one (where's Bob Paisley's gong?) spent the second half of last season's DEFEAT at the Reebok in the stand after having a pop at refs. And, when the FA had had their way, spent another couple of games watching from the expensive seats.

Odd, this outburst. But I genuinely hope he knows what he's doing (rather his lot lifting the pot than Fergie's or Scolari's, as far as I'm concerned) rather than has lost the plot. Has he overdosed on pain medication?

It's not the factual incorectness that does me, even though the prick does bang on about the facts he has in his pocket (hey!). It's the hypocrisy. He's the epitome of Big Four management hyopcritical slagging off in order to gain club PR points. Wenger's just as bad, but has at least shown occasions where he's humbly shown respect when he knows he's been beaten (not many, though). Ferguson, despite the many shows ofpetulance and arrogance, can at least back it up with a lot of trophies and, hell, gets his teams to play the sort of football i like - quick, fluid, counter attacking and varied (no such thing as a short or long ball, etc.). Mourinho was a bastard, but he was quite tongue in cheek with it half the time. Benitez has absolutely no redeeming features whatsoever.

Some of Taggart's challengers certainly make it easy for the old sod, don't they?

The more I read about the fat waiter the more I begin to suspect that Benitez is a prick.

Sadly.

I am also starting to come to the same conclusions. Anymore of this behaviour I think even Blurred is going to have to accept Benitez is a prick.

I've tried guys, but I'm sorry, he just can't get my back up like Ole Red Nose manages consistently. He's a prick, granted, but I'd feel wrong to be taking Salford Red Soxx side in all this. Sorry.

You can despise both.

It's quite easy.

He is P, preposterous,

He is I, irascible,
He is C, contemptible
He’s a Kock, ock ock

P-R-I-C-K

To be honest, whilst I'd agree in general that Benitez is a prick, his "rant" on Friday struck me as eminently sensible.

First time he's ever said anything sensible, come to think of it.

But he's still a prick.

Raven · Post by **Raven** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 12:14 pm

I'm with Puskas, agreed with everything Rafa said, Fergie and that team get away with what it basically trying to influence games, cheating etc.

FA should come down hard on him, plus Wenger and Rafe who both do it occasionally and make them talk about their own team etc.........what's the bet that come the next Manure match old purple nose will be going on and on about how dirty Davies is!

ratbert · Post by **ratbert** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 12:58 pm

I just find it amazing that other managers still haven't wised up to Fergie's mind games after all these years.

El Prick, certainly, should know better.

Anyone who calls what managers say in press conferences 'mind games' in a serious manner should be stabbed. Mind games my arse.
