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.

[pilgrimkenna]

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

[gosties]

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.

make not doubts about it fegie sees them as a real threat hence the mind games, fergie is the master of the dark arts though....

[supahoops]

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.

[johnscarlet]

Don't think Fergie give a monkeys .
And besides he has had a touchline ban and fine this year. thats a fact

[jonnypb]

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

[Delvey]

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?

[Smudger14]

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?

[Wild Weasel]

Bigger boat? How about a trawler?

he's won the champions league and what every liverpool fan wants is the premier league

[delboyuk2005uk]

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.

[gosties]

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.

[Nebby]

Fergie the jedi master does it again.

[ps3mad]

I make him right,fergie has been doing and saying anything he wants,and has been getting away with it for years,the same way the players have

[jayden28]

Made me laugh when i saw the interview last night especially when he brought the piece of paper out with the list of complains,time will tell but i think his lost the plot already but i am biased.

[mabo]

I know it's nothing to do with the actual "rant" but i like the way Sky have omitted the reference to Setanta in their article.

[Ragnarok]

Rafa wasting time worrying about Fergie compiling his dossier for a press conference rather than worrying about his own team. Pricless!!

Best part is that Fergie wasn't even trying as per usual.

To be fair, it wasn't a novel, just a sheet of paper and if it causes a few key decisions to go against United whereas before a ref may have given them the benefit of the doubt it'll be considered a good move.

I think it's a case of we'll all look back at the end of the season and depending upon whether LFC win the title will decide for us to say either he shot himself in the foot or pulled off a masterstroke.

[Steven]

Hmmm well...

Liverpool draw or lose to Stoke today and rightly or wrongly it will be perceived as the moment that Rafa lost it. That's all there is to it

The fickleness of the football supporter

...but if Liverpool win and United get a key decision go against them can Ferguson then criticise the ref and seemingly prove Rafa right?

[Delvey]

Stoke will be a tough game for them today, and as said if they dont win people will perceive hes lost it. There are still a few games to go yet. Man U chelsea, liverpool chelsea, liverpool arsenal and dont forget the games against villa

[johnscarlet]

oh dear

Personally, i think this is exactly the type of game that highlights how much we need to enter the transfer market. We've got a lot of players that look mid table worthy imo.

[chrisuk01]

1 game since his outburst. and its a draw against stoke.

not the best result saying both your title rivals are playing the following day.

Obviously with his rant, today was going to be a big match, scrutnised by many especially journos, and he didnt get the result that was needed.

not saying he has cracked or anything, but as he knows, and as also mentioned in above posts, he will be judged by his results now.

not a great performance either.

big game tomorrow !!

[daddyduche]

Stoke 0 - 0 Liverpool, say's it all really.

[delboyuk2005uk]

It was horrbile to watch. Easy to see that Gerrard should of been in Lucas place running the midfield with Maschareano

Leaving 2 strikers upfront.

[reddevil63]

Did Fergies comments work?

Stoke - Liverpool 0-0

Man Utd - Chelsea 3-0

Closing in!
