Absolute legend at the wind up games.
Rafa Benitez has come out in a press conference listing times and places Ferguson has "got at referees" and that he never gets punished etc.
He's reacted to Fergie coming out with stuff that Utd have been hard done by with fixture list.
Got to listen to the press conference if you can Benitez is prioper going for it.
Also said this weekend Scoalri and his staff should do zonal marking against Ferguson's staff to stop them getting at the referee at hlaf times etc - brilliant listening

Fun and games!
As you say Rafa is good at the wind ups as well.
Can't wait for Fergies response - this could go on.
Did i mention i can't stand Ferguson? And don't get me started on Ronaldo!
Fergie has been getting under the skin of Rafa for weeks now and Rafa has popped it is not as mental as keegan but believe me if keegan was as well educated as rafa he would have done something similar to this.
Fergie was scared of Charlton thsts why he made Pardew believe he was a special one and led to his ultimate demise :-)
rafa needed to take a script into the press conference ffs.
some would argue that fergie speaks english.
Totally agree....
Love it. I can't stand the bloke. As sure as eggs is eggs his pooper will go if they are still anywhere near the top at the business end of the season.
And during the last campaign he was banned for two games and fined £10,000 after remonstrating with referee Mike Dean after a match against Hull.
Now he's just been given a 2 game ban (+ 2 games suspended until next year) and a £20,000 fine.
Something tells me he's not quite learning!
With a silly little 2 game ban, why should he?
Only people that have done badly out of that are the chewing gum manufacturers of the world.
Tells me they should of done him for £100k or more. He would be squeeling like a pig then. Likes his money does Ferguson!
I may be wrong here but I think Shankly was more succesful?
Without a shadow of a doubt Bill Shankly was a class above Ferguson in every respect, SoundAs. An honest and nice person as well unlike Mr Ferguson!
Shankly is no where near Fergie in terms of trophies but I suppose it's yet to be seen in hindsight which of the two will be considered to have left the greatest legacy to both their respective clubs and indeed the game itself.

He's learning all right. Notice how the story around Man United this season has nothing to do with their performances on the pitch and everything to do with their complaints about the referee. No other club gets away with losing two huge matches in quick succession without a lot of question marks in the media.
I wish the media would ignore this nonsense from Man United staff (Ferguson, Rooney, Ferguson's assistant, even Darren Fletcher blamed Arsene Wenger for Man U losing to Chelsea) and focus on their performances on the field. They're blaming all around them as a distraction - don't be distracted.
My favourite manager of all time, no one comes close to Shanks for charisma and sheer class as a human being. You'd walk through walls for that guy....indeed many did just that.
