Allardyce bitching about Rafa AGAIN

[Carras_Shin_Pads]

Sorry havent read the whole thread but whats this gesture that Rafa did after the second goal?

[Neil Young]

Have we?

Not as far as I know and I very much doubt we will. I think you may have misinterpreted my (admittedly ambiguous) phraseology.

Of course in an ideal world we wouldn't need to respond but it's not an ideal world. I don't think it's vital but these things influence the atmosphere games are played in and so I think they can have an effect, not least on referees.

I think you were probably drunk at the time, we won 4-0.

yeah got onto that mate and have no changed it! It was villa we beat 5-0 but either way their both ****!

They're in a difficult position though mate as it's journalistic suicide in a way to anger whisky nose. If they don't toe his line he won't talk to them which obviously affects their employability as what paper would want a football journo who couldn't talk to man utd's manager?

He knows what he's doing, he's very manipulative but unfortunately for the cunt, time waits for no man and he's coming to the end of his reign. To his utter despair he sees a man who can take over where he's leaving off, who is capable of making his club the dominant force in this country for the next 20 years. That man is Rafael Benitez, he's Liverpool's manager and Ferguson is scared to death.

Exactly. Rafa will be sleeping like a baby tonight.

[Neil Young]

I think Rafa was actually referring to Allardyce’s managing career being done rather than the match.

Fergie is rattle good and proper. I have never seen him like this before as he knows liverpool are on their way back!!! We have been in the shadows these past 15 years but we are back and he ****ing knows it! It might not be this season we start to dominate the league but we will very soon!

5 Live now! Gab Marcotti talking about it.

"Wenger has been in Japan. He doesn't know anything about English football. He's at a big club; well, Arsenal used to be big. He should keep his mouth shut, firmly shut."

Why the hell has it taken fat Sam until now to bring this up.

Surely if he was that pissed off, it would have been mentioned before now?

Because Fergie didn't ask him to until last night.

This is hilarious!

5 Live absolutely crucified Ferguson - no surprise.

Marcotti said this was said today in order to gain maximum exposure rather than mentioning it in the midweek press conference before the Porto game. He said its a calculated attack and wouldn't be surprised if the pair actually talked to each other before attacking Benitez. Benitez has also done the right thing but laughing off the comments from Ferguson and Allardyce (5 Live understands Benitez has laughed off comments)

David Pleat also in the studio said there has been fair more disrespectful things done to opposing managers before. It was a fair gesture as Benitez rarely lets his emotions out and it wasn't as if he goaded the Blackburn manager by going into his part of the technical area and doing various gestures.

Matt Jackson also said that Mourinho running down the touchline could be interpreted as even more disrespectful to Manchester United yet Ferguson didn't bat an eyelid.

Looks like Ferguson's attack has fell on deaf ears.

What's annoying me about the mainstream media coverage of this laughable bollocks is that the intention behind Rafa's gesture is being reported factually as if it was a 'game over' gesture. FFS.
