Rafa rips into Ferguson

[pondus]

Love it!

The smile on his face tells me he loved doing that and it was about time someone said what everyone is thinking.

This is not my biased opinion, it is a fact!

loved hearing rafa rip into fergie. i reckon other teams fans will be divided over his comments. some will no doubt go down the "fergie's got to rafa like he did keegan" ( obvioulsy chelsea / everton fans ) but i reckon the rest ( defo arsenal fans ) will back up rafa's "facts". fergie is a cunt. wenger has in the past had a slight dig at him too but rafa really pushed the boat out here. rafa =

The amount of Kudos Rafa is getting from supporters of other teams in amazing and most have rejected that it was a rant , they all believe he is right

Chelsea fans hate Rafa, but on another forum I frequent all the Chelsea supporters are in full agreement with Benitez's outburst. It needed someone to say something, I can't wait for the backlash. I begrudgingly admire Alex Ferguson, he's been massively successful and he has built teams that play football with panache. I would love to know how successful Manchester United would have been if they'd dropped points from all the dodgy decisions they've benefitted from at Old Trafford, but I don't want to sound bitter. From now on I believe the playing field will be different, Rafa has used similar tactics to AF to put the spotlight on refereeing decisions and maybe, hopefully, referees will now be brave enough to make decisions based upon what they actually see. Well done Rafa, keep up the mind games.

i have mixed feelings about this one.

on one hand, he's clearly stated 'facts' and given fergie both barrels. clearly this is good and i'd like to think it was a kind of declaration of war.

however, it could well give a boost to them i think. he can say 'don't worry lads, ive got him where i want him and they'll be dropping points, you just go play your football, beat chelski and the advantage is ours'

it doesnt change anything for us really tho does it. we have to win our games.

what will it look like if we don't beat stoke? bit of a big own goal that one isnt it.

[pondus]

that actually lays it out much better than anyone else in this thread

still think he shoulda stayed out of it though, leave the so called mind games to the others and just concentrate on our own games.

I've also seen on an article today that Rafa's not happy about lack of progress on his contract. He's aired that 'off air' to a journalist and wasn't happy.

[alexjamestodd]

Rafa just bossed slur (GAry will not be happy)

1. Attention is now on Rafa and not the team espescially Stevie .

2.People will now start thinking of us as real contenders.

3. Slur will be spending time and energy thinking about this -

What is Scolari thinking?

4.United have had their skirts lifted and now everybody will be watching the refereeing in their games.

5.Slur will feel a **** if we win he cannot rattle rafa back.




Off topic -If we win the league - Slur will be a broken man that he never beat the record off liverpools titles - Rafa will be the man that broke him -LEGEND

If Tevez joins , Rafa and Liverpool will have one over slur/scum for years

come on LIverpool

Anyone remember this one?

Kenny Dalglish
5 April 1988

Circumstances Following a remarkable 3-3 draw at Anfield between Liverpool and Manchester United, Ferguson claimed referees had favoured that season's champions. "I can understand now why a lot of managers have to leave here choking on their own sick," he said. Dalglish's quick response left Ferguson furious

"You really might as well talk to my baby daughter Lauren. Honestly, you'll get more sense out of her"

I didn't think Rafa could go up in my estimation much more, but he has. I belly laughed my way through that press conference. What a superb demolition job on 'Mr Ferguson'. I've been bombarded by texts from Mancs up here - he has seriously put their noses out of joint, whatever laughable rubbish they may be coming out with re Keegan etc. He's only said what every single other football fan knows - as he said, this wasn't mind games, it was a list of facts!

Rafa, I love you.

Brilliant stuff. Exposed that pisshead for the ****ehouse hypocrite he is. All of my non-Scum supporting mates are in agreement with his message.
