Thanjk you.

Yes, I see your point. I think most, if not all, of us would agree that the "facts" attack was carefully planned. In response, Ferguson tried to ridicule him at first (the Freud jibe) but since that didn't seem to have any effect he's become more aggressive.
I doubt any of his antics will have any effect on Rafa whatsoever.
I guess we will now never know what insight Clement had to offer about Rafa.

Funny that, I remember having an argument a week or so ago with Fredo who was adamant that Fergie is not rattled... Hmmmmm...... taxi for Fredo.
Whatever Tee, I'm no professional golfer by the way and a week is a long haul in football these days.
Now Sir Alex Ferguson is really showing he's rattled, as it wasn't that obvious last week or before as he was just playing tit for tat. Rafa's kept his mouth shut last week and now Sir Alex Ferguson is coming out all guns blazing and this before an FA Cup match in which we're taking no part in.
He just knows that if we beat Arsenal, the pressure will really be on his team, as they'd have to play Arsenal down the line and Wenger's team have been one of the best teams in the league lately.
The stronger we can finish the season, the more Sir Alex Ferguson will feel under pressure and let steam off like a pressure cooker. Rafa's calculated attack depended on how well we would do on the pitch, and at the time we were really breathing off their necks or maybe we were top. It has slightly backfired as we lost the plot a bit but Rafa's assessment of our true value this season was spot on, IMO. I'm sure he's not surprised at how well we're finishing the season.
I don't drink gin. It once gave me a flashback to being two years old.
Other than that, have five balls.

Strange reaction by 'Fergie'! I would have expected something better and more articulate from him after all those years of experience
When has he every been articulate in criticizing other managers. He has always blabbered on while being in a fight. If the media in UK stop attributing some harry potter level mind manipulating ability to the senile old cock, all of this will be over. He had his ass handed to him on a plate number of times by king kenny, Wenger and Mourinho. However, the media is too afraid to mention that,
It’s even more obvious and casual than I remembered it! To think two grown men, never mind professional managers, have bleated and cried to the press about this is ABSOLUTELY LAUGHABLE!!!
Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’
Hillarious how the press were slagging Rafa off for showing no emotion when we scored a few weeks back and now he does Ferguson thinks he's showing contempt for Fat Sam and Blackburn. FLMAO
We managed to rectify it, though, because it now says, "Cook" where it once said "Cock", and "Pass" where it once said "Piss", so it’s slightly less rude.
Anybody remember this?. Strange MrFerguson doesn't, must be age catching up with him.
Ferguson avoids gesture inquiry
Ferguson served a two-match ban less than four weeks ago
The Football Association will not take any action against Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson over his gesture at the Madjeski Stadium on Saturday.
Reading fans claimed that Ferguson aimed an 'up yours' sign at them during United's 2-0 Premier League victory.
But Ferguson said: "All I was doing was expressing my relief at winning one of our hardest games of the season."
The incident came after Cristiano Ronaldo scored United's second goal deep into added time.
Ferguson had already clashed with Reading assistant boss Wally Downes after the fourth official indicated four more minutes were to be played.
When Ronaldo sealed the win, Ferguson appeared to respond to home fans who had voiced their disapproval as he complained about the amount of stoppage time.
Ferguson served a two-game touchline ban earlier this season after being found guilty of using foul and abusive language towards referee Mark Clattenburg during a defeat by Bolton

Strange that- had just thought the same & was gonna post it when I got back from the bog. You've saved me the chore.
If Benitez meant it in the way that Allardyce is suggesting then I am totally against his behaviour. A manager should not act in such a manner.
I could not give two ****s about the seceret manager code on what Allardyce and Ferguson regularly blah on about, there is no specific need or reason that Rafa should see an opposing manager after the game.
However, as has been said in this thread it appears that Rafa was not referring to Blackburn when he made the gestures, which is what I expected. I am sure Rafa will clear this up in his next press conference, despite it being an obvious attack used to try and unsettle him by the usual suspects.
Since his time in the premiership Rafa has fallen foul of Neil Warnock, Jose Mourinho, Sam Allardyce, Alex Ferguson and David Moyes. And all had their own agendas to pursue when doing so and all displayed a distinct sign of sour grapes.
In his time at Liverpool Rafa Benitez has never been anything other than professional in his actions and attitude both on and off the pitch.
