Am sure we all heard this today.
Most Liverpool fans will say its genius.
Most Man Utd fans will say he has cracked under the pressure.
I am interested in knowing what other fans think.
Let me know what you think and what team you support.

Think he is in danger of going the way of Kevin Keegan, not many managers have gotten into mind games with fergie and come out on top. As much as i can't stomach the bloke and his moaning, he is top of the mind games, the only manager who ran him close was jose Mourinho and in my eyes the premiership is boring without him in it.

just watched the whole interview on lfc i must say he is totally right and just goes to show that he can mix it to i dont think he is cracking under the "i would love it if we beat them" pressure just speaking the truth and the facts

Time will tell whether he has cracked or not, but his comments on the actions of the Utd coaching staff towards officials at half times was interesting. His suggestion of "zonal marking" the Utd coaching staff at half-time will certainly be in the thoughts of the Chelsea hierarchy now.
My personal opinion is that he has not cracked, as whilst manager of Valencia he surely would have similar wind-ups from Barca and Real. Ferguson must surely percieve them as a threat now as no mind-games are used against clubs that don't threaten his team's title aspirations.

I think Benitez has shot himself in the foot here, he should have just kept quiet and let the results do the talking. If Keegan had done that Newcastle might have won the league that year as they had a great team.
I dont support either but believe Man U will probably win it, they are not playing well and are still near the top, one things for sure the premier league title will be very interesting this year.

fergie is a good manager but when they lose it's always someone elses fault. it's never that man utd played bad or they were outclassed etc. think rafa was spot on

He may have cracked, i thought his veins in his head were going to burst. The only question i havew is he still more interested in the champions league?

I'm a Man Utd fan, and i think it's safe to say that Sir Alex has caught one big fish there.
Bigger boat anyone?

Well only time will tell.
If Liverpool seem to fall apart in the next few weeks we will know he has cracked.
But if they seem to keep on good results for the next few weeks we will know he has not cracked.
Liverpool fate will be decided at Old Trafford when they play Man Utd. If they manage to beat them BIG IF then Liverpool ill favour Liverpool over Man Utd for the title.
You dont win the title easily so thats whats needed IMHO.

You would expect Liverpool to win their game so therefore the Chelsea Vs Utd tie could be pivotal to either sides hopes of challenging this year.
Although Utd have games in hand they still need to win those games. Chelsea have been poor at home but their away form is excellent. Utd are tough to beat at Old Trafford even without the helpful decisions from officials. I would not be surprised for another 1-1 draw.
