Hahaha gets better well not for Rafa but meh he said what needed to be said it werent us who said it so woooo The Football Association is to review Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez's verbal attack on Alex Ferguson before deciding whether to take any action against him. Benitez claimed his Manchester United counterpart gets away with criticising referees and poured scorn on his complaints about the fixture list. The FA said in a brief statement that the comments will be analysed "in their full context" in the coming week. Ferguson has yet to respond to the claims levelled against him by Benitez. The Spaniard's outburst came after a journalist asked for his response to Ferguson's suggestion that Premier League leaders Liverpool might get nervous in the title run-in. After claiming Manchester United might be nervous themselves, he produced a sheet of paper and read out a list of accusations about Ferguson's conduct regarding referees, the FA's Respect campaign and fixture lists. Benitez claimed that Ferguson intimidates match officials and often escapes punishment for his criticism of referees. Former top-flight ref Graham Poll claimed in the Daily Mail that Benitez "has articulated what referees have been thinking for years - that Sir Alex can say what he wants about them and the FA allows him to get away with it." However, Ferguson could point to several past run-ins with the FA during his time in charge at Old Trafford. The most recent came in November when the Scot was given a two-game touchline ban and fined £10,000 for remonstrating with referee Mike Dean. HAHAHA and they drew today..great mind game there

Bleh they can perk right down lol.Guess cause of Harry but go anyway nah!! Moulda on the other hand they're welcome to take an intrest

Didnt know we were bloody planning/rumoured to. And good that we're not!

Ooooo that could be good if that is the lineup..Drogba and Analka actually playing together!! But no Carvallho :S Rios back...oo the joys On a slight bright note..Stoke 0 Scum 0

Kalou does frustrate but he does make an effort and can make an impact when coming on and why sell now?!Summer make more sense surley

But apprantly we cant expand at the moment with the way things are cause theres only two exits.Health and safety etc..least thats what the tour man said

Well we're not gana be on Santa that often considering its the Man you channel Hahaha itv have got Man you/Spurs FA cup game and they did a poll on talkshit asking if the fans rather see that or Fullham vs Ketting which about 80% wanted to see..funny itv Guess it defo wont get called off then..their games been cancelled today due to frozen pitch so hmmm their prob spend all day on it God Chels please score lots!Dont let it go to pens! AND GET SOMEONE ON THE FUCKING POST FOR SET PIECES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just want you to turn on the radio/look at the score and along with the rest of us be relived and happy and find out we got 3 points lol. That and see Fergie explode..anyone know who the ref is cause thats gana be a prob no doubt

Polls getting involved as well lol To be honest Fergie brought it on himself since he moaned about how the fa were conspiring against Man you

Dont doubt so much his ablity as a manger just his insane delayed subbing and tactics/no one on the posts!!! I'd say give him another season and give him funding to build on etc.Otherwise can just see us every season having a new manager tbh if we dont give them a longer shot...

Bleh the Sun..still..hmmm

And rather didnt sell for the sake of it cause if it goes to crap and we end up with no one no doubt injuries come and we'd be screwed

iverpool boss Rafael Benitez has launched a furious attack on Manchester United counterpart Sir Alex Ferguson. Benitez claims that Ferguson is "the only manager who will not be punished" for verbally attacking referees. "We had a Respect campaign meeting and I said forget it, because Mr Ferguson is killing the referees," said Benitez. Benitez was responding to Ferguson's midweek comment that nerves might ruin Liverpool's title bid, before issuing his tirade against the United boss. Ferguson, who was given a two-game touchline ban and fined £10,000 in November for remonstrating with referee Mike Dean, had his pre-match news conference before Benitez's and was unable to immediately reply. Benitez's extraordinary outburst came after a journalist asked Benitez for his response to Ferguson suggesting that Premier League leaders Liverpool might get nervous in the run-in. All managers need to know is that only Mr Ferguson can talk about the fixtures, can talk about referees and nothing happens Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez "I was surprised by what has been said, but maybe they (Manchester United) are nervous because we are at the top of the table," added Benitez. The Spaniard then pulled out a sheet of paper and read out a list of accusations about Ferguson's conduct regarding referees, the respect campaign and fixture lists. The Respect campaign is the FA's programme of activities to combat unacceptable behaviour in the game at every level, both on the pitch and from the sidelines, which began in August last year. "I want to talk about facts," said Benitez. "I want to be clear, I do not want to play mind games too early, although they seem to want to start. "During the Respect campaign - and this is a fact - Mr Ferguson was charged by the FA for improper conduct after comments made about Martin Atkinson and Keith Hackett. "He was not punished. He is the only manager in the league that cannot be punished for these things. "How can you talk about the Respect campaign and yet criticise the referee every single week? "We know what happens every time we go to Old Trafford and the United staff. 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. 606: DEBATE For a manager who is clear at the top of the league it seems that pressure has indeed gotten to Benitez steveetienne "We need to know that I am talking about facts, not my impression. There are things that everyone can see every single week. "To complain and to always have an advantage is not fair." Benitez also heavily criticised Ferguson's complaints over supposed favouritism over fixtures. "Two years ago we had a lot of early kick-offs away on Saturdays when United were playing on Sundays. And we didn't say anything," said the Reds boss. "Now he is complaining about everything, that everybody is against United. But the second half of the season will see them playing at home against all the teams at the top of the table, it is a fantastic advantage. "At Christmas, United played on the 29th and the rest of the teams played on the 28th. We were away against Newcastle two days after playing Bolton. They were playing about 40 hours later, but they were not complaining then. "If he wants to talk about fixtures, and have a level playing field, 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."

Same..or the ref give them a hand as well... 6 trophies they can win this season in total!Makes ya sick really,ok 2 are pointless but still...

WTF?!If we're not gana buy whats the point in selling?!Thats just gana no doubt leave us short soon if we do sell them,have a sodding injury cirsis soon as the window shuts or something stupid

Bleh United can win 6 trophies this season..2 which they've already won..ok they're gana not that amazing but still! Come on Derby tonight lol

I miss the ole Spuds where Jol take someone off and it all fall apart or they'd get in the lead and fuck it up Yeh lol what a sodding turning around and in the space of what 10 mins?2-1 up or something stupid

Prob..in a way a bit harsh with no European experince needs helppppp

Love him to!Mean he said he wanted to come back but get the feeling he'll break our hearts and go Man you when Fergie retires. I doubt he'd wana join Kenyon and Roman again anyway after all that shit

Maybe if we put someone on the post for set pieces then we might have a shot!

That why had he wanted to stay Clarke been helpful!!! Though its the Sun so hmm

No such thing as an easy draw..magicc of the cup and blah.Still could've been worse for us/Southend.Could've got either of the 3 scums so Hehehe Ipswich that time against Watford the year we won it when they thought they'd scored and danced around only to find they hadnt and the ball was up the other end.Hehehe

Im sorry if he can afford to spend 300,000 on Kings of Leon playing for an hour at some party then he cant be that effected.Yeh it came from the Sun but still!!

Least with this one we dont expect/dont think anyone expects us to win so wont be to shocked if we dont.But a good effort be nice. And dont think we're gana get many decisions so prob have to be careful at that..mean they get pens when the ball hits the head so. 'we're not just underdogs we are as you say big underdogs' (to much sugar hehe)

I wouldn't say we need another striker so much cause thats stupid esp as we only seem to play with one at a time for some reason Just I duno one spark that we're defo missing,like said a winger.D a unjurued version of Robben something like that Ferria was pretty good on Sat,one of the few who seemed to care!
