Benitez coming on sly sports news now

[PaulMcC]

The press won't see it as Rafa just telling the facts.

 

They'll side with Ferguson and say he's got to Rafa.

[hamstrung]

About time.

 

Glad he's done that. Send the message that we won't be intimidated.

[Liquid football]

Get fucking in there Rafa. It`s about time that someone had the balls to have a go at Old Ginsoak. It will either develop into a full scale verbal battle between the two of them or Ginsoak might just think that he`s pissed off the wrong man this time and back off.

Either way it`s going to be intresting

 

You've got a good point there. Rafa has hit him where it hurts basically.

[Dicko]

Why doesn't Ferguson write the fixtures in his office & email them out to the rest of the teams.

 

Haha if you are going to go for him may as well do it with a bit of humour.

[Brownie]

I thought it was boss. Loved it. That's what I want to see from my manager.

 

Rally cry!

 

*paints face, rips off shirt and pretend that the mop is a weapon*

[ratcatcher]

oooooooh this could go either way for Rafa, I'm not really sure he should have gone so hard at him, especially as he seemed to have a script in front of him. The press are going to absolutely love this and there will be a massive Rafa v Ferguson angle on everything for the rest of the season.

 

Don't think I have ever heard an interview like that from Rafa, was quite shocked in all honesty. However fair play to him, too many people have pussyfooted around these issues before and it's good to see him 'call the facts' as he kept saying. Absolutely loved the part where he said 'Mr ferguson shoud just decide the fixtures and let the rest of us know' absolute quality.

 

 

My thoughts exactly. We all know what the ginsoak one is like and what he gets away with. My reservation is he also mentioned refs appearring to favour filth (again, something we all think) but who's the ref tomorrow? Seriously, dont be surprised if we have some dodgey decisions against us tomorrow, Its happened before when Ged, Roy and Kenny spoke out.

[sir roger]

I thought it was excellent & needed saying , but agree that the press will back Ferguson as they spend their whole lives kissing his arse.

[Monster Masch]

I can't stop smiling, that was brilliant.

 

Rafa v Ferguson now to the end of the season though, make or break time!

didnt see it but most people here seem impressed, was he ranting or did he have it all together?

[hamstrung]

Do none of you people have day jobs? Really want to see this.

[Brownie]

It's gonna crank up the pressure but good. I want us to be under pressure every year because it means we're challenging for the league.

[Carradona]

Student life gets better by the day!

[Brownie]

Just watched it again - class! Stick that in your whiskey bottle and drink it, you arle cunt.

It's so clear that the press will make this run till the end of the season now. I just hope that Ferguson hasn't actually got to Rafa but just Rafa responding in kind. I think Rafa's too strongheaded and too tactically (mentally and on the pitch) acute and savvy for it to have got to him on a personal level.

 

As Brownie said this is what I want from my manager, no shit from anyone. Interview should be on the Sky Sports website soon enough, they'll probably run it as their main story for the rest of the day now. Kind of suprised the yellow breaking news ticker hasn't flashed 'RAFAEL BENITEZ ATTACKS ALEX FREGUSON'.

[coop]

Ferguson is a bully and the FA are shit scared of him.

 

Too many times have we said the Liverpool manager should stick up for himself and for the team.

 

For me this proves more of the point regards Rafa and his siege mentality he has instilled in the team.

He'll have thought long and hard about this, I've no doubt about that. He doesn't act on emotion.

[Faustus]

Just out of curiosity- who's the ref tomorrow?

[Woo]

Where can I see/hear this? I've got Sky Sports News on full volume in the dinner room in work, but can barely hear it.

[PaulMcC]

It's on other teams forums about Rafa having a Keegan moment.

 

I knew the press and others would think like that.

The redtops will definitely make it look as Rafa had lost it, like the small snippet you just linked to there. He seemed fairly composed but it's no doubt this will be used against him. I thought it was good and I hope this gets the players fired up for tomorrow.

 

Passive-aggressiveness from Rafa, who'd have known.

Had the hallmarks of keegan's 'Love it. I'd really love it.....' after match comments.

[Cath]

Beeb's just started reporting it

[The Dude Abides]

Haven't heard it yet. But tbh, i'd prefer we just kept plodding along as we were, in our own bubble minding nobody else.

[RedinSweden]

I haven't seen it, but going off the comments it sounds ace. Football has become so sterile, its like politics. Football365 are generally witless, so them seeing it as a victory for Ferguson is pretty typical.

[Faustus]

It's so far from Keegan's rant it's untrue. Anybody with half a brain cell can see that.
