Thanjk you.

Rafa Benítez is considering legal action against Neil Warnock after the former Sheffield United manager questioned the Spaniard's integrity in a newspaper column. Warnock, now at Crystal Palace, is still angry that a weakened Liverpool team were beaten a year ago at Fulham, a result that enabled them to stay up at the expense of the Blades.
Liverpool won 2-0 at Craven Cottage yesterday, fielding a team with eight changes from last Sunday's victory against Blackburn but no reserves. After what had been an upbeat press conference, Benítez bristled at a question about Warnock's comments and said: 'Somebody told me [about them]. We knew he was bad as a manager and prehistoric, but we didn't know he was a person like this. I will speak to my lawyer. We don't need to waste time with him.'
Warnock had written: 'Integrity, doing what is right for the game, comes way down Rafa's list of priorities... That is good news for Fulham, just as it was last year when he fielded the reserves and Fulham won and stayed up... Maybe Rafa gets a yearly hamper from Harrods for his team selections.'
Fulham, like Harrods, are owned by Mohamed Fayed. Last season, Benítez fielded two players making only their second starts of the season.
Among the players missing yesterday was Steven Gerrard, who is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Chelsea with a neck injury. 'We don't know at the moment,' Benítez said. 'Steven is working with the physios. He is improving but it is still too soon. You always have to be careful with the neck.'
What do you mean it could've been anyone? Name me one person who's got a grudge against penguins
Consulting lawyers? Warnock's a tool of the highest order, but what law has he broken? Bizarre. We've got more important things to think about, Rafa's had his reply, and he should just leave it there.
Probably his suggestion that Rafa receives a hamper from Harrods every year
I doubt Rafa is 100% serious anyway
