Ferguson & Allardyce V Benitez, by Prescription Art on Apr 17, 2009 18:46:10 GMT 1, This was from today's Fiver...
MISS! MISS! HE DID A FUNNY FACE!!!
If you managed a football team, and they traipsed back into the dressing room after 90 minutes of futile toil during which they didn't get a single kick, losing 4-0, and you'd picked Christopher Samba up front as your lone striker, what would be your overriding emotion? Embarrassment, perhaps? Or the sort of total and utter humiliation that makes a man knock back a litre of Juniper Surprise, then book a Special Calming Treatment at the Eternal Spa? Hmm. But however hard the defeat would hit you, surely your tipping point would have nothing whatsoever to do with a slightly overweight gentleman standing in your approximate environs, crossing and uncrossing his arms. You would surely still retain at least one sliver of dignity and self-respect, a sliver which ensured you'd not be unduly affected by something as trivial as that? Right?
Sadly that's not the case with this poor petal: Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce has admitted today to being on the end of a "humiliating" gesture by Rafael Benitez at Anfield last weekend. When Fernando Torres scored Liverpool's second goal after 33 minutes, Benitez got up off the bench and gesticulated to his team. "It was open arms and then a crossover of the arms," explained Sensitive Sam, before going on to do the hitchhike, the watusi, and the mashed potato. "It was as if to suggest that was it," added Allardyce, who was so offended he voluntarily went to Benitez's office after the game to swill his booze.
But even free pop didn't please Sensitive Sam. Not only was Rafa's Rioja slightly below room temperature, triggering a slightly unpleasant tingle in his teeth, but the Liverpool manager also failed to turn up in person. "Not explaining himself by not turning up in his office really shows what he is like," said Allardyce, who is 54 years of age. "The only people I saw were Sammy Lee and a few of the staff, but he never showed his face. That was just as disappointing as the gesture, and it typifies the man."
In total agreement is Sir Alex Ferguson, who ahead of Manchester United's FA Cup final with Everton, piped up: "Everton are a big club, not a small one which Benitez arrogantly said. But arrogance is one thing. You cannot forgive contempt, which is what he showed Sam Allardyce last weekend." It's very honourable of Fergie to stick up loyally for his pal Sensitive Sam in this spat - although it does seem strange that he did it before Allardyce had actually said anything today. Almost as if they'd decided to launch a pincer movement on Benitez while chatting over the phone last night. Ferguson, incidentally, is 67.

AF stop moaning and SA, RB only gestured in reaction to what was and did happen, i.e. the game was over,i think he could do that under the circumstances, it might have been trying to tell the team to take it easy, as they had a big game to play days later, ever way get a grip AF and SA.

Ferguson & Allardyce V Benitez, by slowmo on Apr 18, 2009 11:19:18 GMT 1, As a supporter of the small blue club, I'm with Fergie, Rafa's little red club were no match in the FA cup, perhaps Alex can do a better job ;D
Remember - all Kopites are gobshites, even if these days they all smell of tapas

Oh dear! And I thought it had been a difficult couple of years to be a Spurs fan!  My sympathies, your club has been far too well run historically to deserve it's current fate, I really feel for your fans.

2 words spring to mind Ian Dowie 
Its not over yet mate, its deffinatly going to get worse for us....we had to sell our training ground last week and if we dont get a buyer for the club we could be doing a Luton in less than 5 years !. Apparently we have to sell 10000 season tickets in league 1 next year just to cover the costs of running the ground....it could be worse I suppose, we could be southampton who are facing relgation and points deducted at the start of next season if they go into administration

Ferguson & Allardyce V Benitez, by junkieart on Apr 20, 2009 22:24:43 GMT 1, HC feel your pain as a fellow Spurs supporter, we can hope for the Euro (mickey mouse cup)! My home team is Peterborough so could be playing Newcastle next season which would be interesting. Just missed songran this year got back a couple of days before but also missed the trouble with the reds in BKK.
Anyway can't believe Furguson has the cheek to slag Benitez after Sundays lineup.
Peace JA

Ferguson & Allardyce V Benitez, by twist65 on Apr 21, 2009 17:40:58 GMT 1, Fergie is toying Benitez. I think it's really funny. The Fergie press conference that those quotes came out of was hilarious. On Benitez, his facts & wanting complete control of transfers - "I don't know what he gets up to with his spare time but he doesn't use it very well!" Had the complete press lot p!ssing themselves. Suprise suprise Sammy Lee was rolled out for Liverpools pre-Arsenal press conference, Benitez bottled it!!!

Sam Allardyce and Alex Ferguson bitching about Rafael Benitez 
What Benitez did was nothing! 
My sympathies, your club has been far too well run historically to deserve it's current fate, I really feel for your fans.
