Benitez .... prick

[bobo the clown]

The Dingle, perhaps?

Af-ha. That's the area (by the riverside) off Aigburth Road, south of the city centre, before Garston. Near to the Liverpool cricket ground, which Lancs use a couple of times a season.

It's where the National Garden Exhibition was held in the mid 1980's ... £millions spent & then simply abondoned & now a home for druggies, homeless, grafitti 'artists' and doggers.

An area worse than Garston. That is some prize.

[Bruce Rioja]

Still a prick then.

Get a load of this fecking nonsense.

Rafael Benitez has launched a cryptic attack on Liverpool's ousted owners and current managing director Christian Purslow.

Benitez, whose six-year reign as manager ended in the summer, hit out at former co-owner Tom Hicks' claim that he was largely to blame for the Reds' worst ever start to the Barclays Premier League this season. The Inter Milan boss cited Hicks and George Gillett's appointment of Purlslow in the summer of last year as the beginning of a downward spiral.

"I prefer not to talk too much about Liverpool," said Benitez, who watched his former club's Merseyside derby defeat on Sunday which left them second bottom of the table. "I prefer not to talk about this because I feel really sorry for the fans. I was watching the fans and I was really sad after the defeat the other day."

In an outburst reminiscent of Eric Cantona's famous quote featuring seagulls and trawlers, Inter Milan boss Benitez compared events leading up to his departure to a bottle of milk.

"We have a saying in Spanish, which is: 'White liquid in a bottle has to be milk'," he said.

Benitez, who led Liverpool to second place in the Premier League in 2009 but could only manage seventh last term, added: "What does this mean? It means that after 86 points and finishing second in the league, what changed?

"The Americans, they chose a new managing director and everything changed. So, what changed?

"The managing director is involved in all the decisions: new lawyer, new chief of press, new manager, nine new players, new medical staff, new fitness coaches - they changed everything. At the beginning, they changed the managing director who was talking with some players, and they changed everything that we were doing in the past.

"So, if you want to ask again what was going on, it's simple: they changed something and, at the end, they changed everything. So, white liquid in a bottle: milk. You will know who is to blame."

Pressed further on the matter, Benitez would only say: "White liquid in a bottle. If I see John the milkman in the Wirral, where I was living, with this bottle, I'd say, 'It's milk, sure'."

Presumably never seen a bottle of Tippex then - or Milk of Magnesia. He'd be shagged if he put either of them in his latte.

I don't really understand the milk bottle saying - is it some Spanish equivalent of "if it walks like a duck...."?

[Lord Kangana]

"...its got ricketts."?

[seanworth]

Haven't got a clue what it meant but he doesn't seem to believe in not crying over spilt milk? Or does he?

[KeeeeeeeBaaaaaaab]

So who would you rather win? Prick or Spiv?

Suppose that question is like "what you you rather have - Cancer or AIDS?"

Prick 3 Spiv 0 after 15 minutes. And Spiv's down to ten men. Ouch.

[thebish]

I reckon Benitez is a prick...

anyone - player or manager - who does the imaginary card-waving gesture is, by definition, a prick.

[KeeeeeeeBaaaaaaab]

If a player does it, he's a prick.

If a manager does it, he's a uber-prick. Shows exactly what sort of player he wants to develop, if all his thoughts during a match he's already destined to win easily inside the first ten minutes are pre-occupied by ensuring the goalkeeper of his opponents are sent off.

Prick? Indupitably so.

[hisroyalgingerness]

It's true, the card waving cements his place as a prick

[thebish]

so is that confirmed then? Benitez is a prick?

[wovlad]

scuttled of to his lair at the full time whistle to, looks like he won't be sharing the vino with Harry tonight.

Can't say as I blame him for that.

Even so, he is a prick.

Lord Ferg might just shed some light on this topic:

Some players like to think there's a better world somewhere else but it never really works. They look in a field and see a cow and they think it's a better cow than the one in their own field, and it never really works out that way."

I don't remember Fergie talking about Cows and fields and things not working when Rooney was leaving Everton to join Man Utd.

Funny that.

I think they beat them 9-0. Or something.
