Bitter Bitter Benitez
To which we can now add this piece of class and dignity;
Such bitterness could only have been funnier if the Fat Spanish Waiter had added, FACHT at the end.

Poor ol pool another season of nothing at all for them… at least the club store will have some dvd’s of them beating us to sell… (or thieve) 
Interestingly we had played 64 games in all competitions by the time the title was won, collecting the Community Shield, the FIFA World Club Cup and the League Cup along the way, as well as booking our place in the European Cup final.
In contrast, Liverpool had played 53 games in all competitions by the time the title was decided, failing to reach any cup finals and therefore ruling out any chance of silverware, making it their third year in a row where they have gone emptyhanded.
It’s fairly incredible to think that having played 11 games more, United still managed to win a few trophies and wrap up the title before the last game of the season.
When you consider we only actually started playing well in April, it certainly shows the vast difference between United and the pool

Lemons taste sour, dickhead. Perhaps you have no taste buds or no taste, as well as a nice line in abuse.

I'd rather Manchester Utd than Chelsea as well. Now do us all a favour and give Hull a celebratory battering.

i know you're a bit of a thick cunt, but even you must have noticed that His Holiness Saint Alex didn't congratulate the oppiosing manager either.
But that's in keeping with his, and your, normal hypocrisy.

See, what I was looking for was something more along the lines of "bah, our reserve team will thrash Hull".

Congratulate Rafa for what? Coming second? To be fair, Liverpool have had a great season but Rafa really does look tragic at the moment and I wouldn't want to be one of his players the way he is acting, all of it just plays even more into Fergie's hands...whether or not it's accurate (personlly I don't think it is) but it gives the impression that Fergie has successfully wound Rafa up and 'won' the 'mind games'.
I believe Belboid was referring to this:

No way was Benitez going to congratulate Ferguson personally after his ridiculous playground conspiracy with Allardyce over 'that gesture' in the LFC v Blackburn game. "Unbelievable and beyond the pale" apparently. That said it's no wonder Ferguson wanted to have a go back following the 'facts' that Benitez laid out about him.

Ah right misread that then, hmm fair enough.
Sour grapes? Bitter lemons? It's important to remember that not too long ago Ferguson was coming out with very similar things about Arsenal. This is from The Times online in 2004:
Alex Ferguson has fired Manchester United’s first volley of the season, claiming that Arsenal’s achievement of winning the Premier League while remaining unbeaten last term was not done with “championship form”.
In the build-up to today’s Community Shield encounter at the Millennium stadium in Cardiff, Ferguson said that Arsène Wenger’s team were guilty of grinding out draws rather than chasing victories in their bid to remain undefeated while winning the 2003-04 title.
“I don’t think Arsenal can repeat what they did last season,” said Ferguson. “That was a one-off. But it wasn’t championship form because 12 draws is just too many.
“In a normal year you are going to lose four games which, with the number of draws they had, would have cost them. The fact that they remained undefeated compensated for all those draws. It was quite incredible really but they didn’t match our points total of 91 when we won the title in 1999-2000 and only drew seven games. “It’s debatable whether they are the best team in England.”
Wenger responded in typically laid-back fashion. “Everyone has the freedom to judge how we played,” he said. “In the country there was huge recognition for not only what we did, but how we played, and I think he (Ferguson) would have done that even if it is difficult for him to accept.”

If only I could google what the other managers were saying last time Liverpool won the league...can't find many online articles or the like its almost like the internet was not invented....very odd
x 10Saw it on a RAWK thread today. Quite a lot of Ferguson v Wenger material around from a few years back (when Arsenal were good) which is very very similar to the current Ferguson v Benitez exchanges. I suppose it's a sign that Liverpool are finally some sort of threat to Utd again but it's still a load of shit.

agreed
I love all the mind games and bullshit banter!
Have you noticed that Furguson is saying good things about Wenger and Arsenal, now they're not a threat to Utd?

the latter, I think. It's just a tired old routine now.
