Ferguson v Benitez: Line-up shows contempt and arrogance to Everton
Filed Under Opinion and debate |
After returning from City’s win against West Brom and switching on for the second half, I have to say I have not laughed so much after seeing Everton beat Trafford Rangers in the FA Cup Semi Final. The highlight was undoubtedly watching Ferguson flap his arms so much at the penalty that never was that the red-nosed one almost took off!
However the other talking point seems to have been overlooked by the press, but hopefully not Rafael Benitez, but also involves the ageing Glaswegian. It is clear that Ferguson must have some sort of dementia after his comments and actions earlier this week and his subsequent semi-final line-up. Let us recap:
Without need or invitation Surly Alex Ferguson continued his war of words with Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez over a matter that had absolutely nothing to do with the arrogant interfering Scot.
Obviously still feeling humiliated by the 4-1 pasting his team suffered at the hands of Benitez, Ferguson used the tactic he has perfected over the years; vicious uncontested psychological warfare.
In part of Ferguson’s outburst, the Scot blasted Benitez for labelling Everton as a small club. “Everton are a big club, not a small one which Benitez arrogantly said,” pronounced the all-knowing oracle. Mmm, so how much disdain did Ferguson show to Everton and the FA Cup by fielding a team full of has-beens and kids? His thinking was obviously that United only had to turn up to beat Everton. For once justice was done and the team that wanted to win came through in the penalty shoot-out.
The other part of his sermon to the sycophantic press corp that were present that day related to Rafael Benitez’s one second “game over” hand gestures that upset Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce. There were not even any words spoken here but Ferguson felt compelled to jump to the defence of “Big Sam”, who obviously isn’t “big” enough to look after himself, even though he had already said his piece on the matter.
Ferguson’s “holier than thou” self-opinionated style surfaced once again. “Arrogance is one thing. You cannot forgive contempt, which is what he showed Sam Allardyce last weekend. When Liverpool scored their second goal he signalled as if the game was finished. I do not think Sam deserved that. Sam has worked so hard for the LMA (League Managers’ Association) and he’s had a weakened team. I just thought it showed contempt. In my experience no Liverpool manager has ever done that. It was beyond the pale.”
Ferguson should have been reprimanded by the authorities for sticking his big red nose into other people’s business, but the weaklings in charge continue to let him get away with it.
Ferguson went one better than Benitez in his belittling of Everton with his own hand gesture, before the game had even started, by completing a team sheet that showed more contempt and arrogance towards big club Everton, and would have fired up everyone connected with Everton even more. City fans look forward to thanking them personally next Saturday at Goodison!
When Jagielka scored the winning penalty and the camera cut to Ferguson I made a few hand gestures of my own towards the screen that would leave nobody in doubt how little respect I have for this fool. I am sure I wasn’t alone!
All credit too to David Moyes. If indeed he did make the comment that the snivelling weasel that is Mike Riley is a ManUre supporter, it was a master stroke! Ferguson had a swipe at Moyes in his post-match interview by claiming that this was the sole reason why Riley didn’t give the penalty. He seemed devastated that a Scot (and fellow member of the LMA) could be so disrepectful to a Knight of the Realm, and to sink so low in the psychological game that Ferguson has dominated for years. The good news is the young pupils are learning from the master (Mark Hughes take heed), and it may just confirm that the time is nigh for the old lush to retire.
All non-Manyoo fans hope and pray there will come a day very soon when The Worlds Greatest Football Team (copyright) and their arrogant supporters are so starved of success that they would relish the opportunity of reaching a cup final. I wonder how their supporters felt having paid all that money to watch a reserve team?
I don’t think manutd.com even realise how much they are detested by everybody else in the footballing world, and it is days like yesterday that put a smile on the face and a bounce in the stride of every football supporter that thankfully hasn’t been indoctrinated into the “Theatre of Dreams” cult.
I bet even Liverpool fans were cheering on Everton with the rest of us!
What do you think?
Yup. ManU deserved to lose at the FA semi. They have been arrogant for too long and should come down to earth. They are a good team but the lady fergie and his peacock ronaldo has come crashing down. YNWA
Excellent post. The man and his poodle(fat sam) are both a disgrace to the game. I mean both refuse to talk to the BBC because both mens sons have been investigated over dodgy dealings of agents in the football world.
Take a bow author!!!
Never a truer word spoken…LOL
It should also be mentioned that “Big” Sam in the week leading up to the Liverpool match had called Rafa a whinger, and then he couldn’t take the flak himself in the end.
Indeed - may Everton go on to win the Cup! (LFC fan)
Liverpool fans probably could not have been any happier for the other team from the Liverpool. Best of Luck to Toffees for the final.
Reds fan cheering on Blues.
Spot on. Couldnt agree more.
I agree fully with this article. He is nothing but a cheap bully. Please remember yesterday there were players (single) that has cost more than what Moyes has spent on all his purchases. Anderson for instance. Barbydoll over 30 million, Tevez?? Ferdinand??, Vidic??,What reserve team Monwho lost to the better team. What a pity he did not claim the ( better team lost ) quote. He did so with a face full of anger after they were thrashed at Old Traford 4 -1.. There is a saying “Nothing last forever”.. He has got a big problem with Rafa and that will get worse as it is certain Liverpool will get better I cannot wait for his future Chewing face!! I love it when a plan comes together..
Good article, well written… LFC fan, and yes I was cheering on the blues! So glad that Manure have been put out of the cup. Next Arsenal to win the champions league (or Barca) and Liverpool to take the title and I will consider this a very good season indeed! YNWA
good luck to everton!!well done,they punished good the old rednosewhiskey sir arrogance!!
true true!them mancs got a wakeup call yesterday,and oh did i enjoy watching.top marks for the column.keep up the good work.L.F.C.
Fergusan is running scared. 5 titles thjs year? Dream on. He should just keep hts BIG FAT MOUTH AND RED NOSE out of everyone business. This thing about trying to get at every team to unstable them I dont buy it. Kudos to everton I hope they win the cup. Liverpool 4 life
Brilliant.
I think all the credit should go to Rafa n his rant. It will start paying dividends in the long run. First it was MON who complained about Manufactured United next it was his Son (Moyes- although he backed away a little yesterday) - Fat Sam and Harry Shitnepp will always cover the Drunken Louts ass but hopefully the floodgates have opened and all the credit should go to Rafa.
Fergie thinks he is the Lord of English footbol.
his rein is numbered. Riley is a Manure, when he decided not give a penalty, Fergie went astray like a sheep without a sheppard. he was shocked because he paid a lot of money to him for bias. HIS REACTION SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO TABLE. SURPRISED THAT HE ATTACKED RAFA
As a red for 40 years, I have always wanted the blues to do well if we are not in it, as was the way yesterday and the money from the bookies proves it, as for Fergie, at last his arrogance has been shown for everyone to see, all Moyes neeeded to do was read out the manc teamsheet,its about time someone stood up to him well done Rafa and Moyes,(rileys crap)
Nice post. I’m a Liverpool fan myself and loved it so much when Everton won. Great great result for the only team that took this semi final tie seriously. It would have been even better had Everton won 4-0 or something. That would have made more people realize how much Alex Fungus disrespected them with his team selection. The fact that this young squad took Everton to penalties took some of the sting out of it I think.
I’m gonna go on and root for Everton against Chelsea. Somebody else has to win a trophy for a change. Let Manure and Chelsea chill for a bit…:)
I’ve enjoyed every game that MU and the arrogant Fergie loses. I was celebrating when ManCity did the double over them. I’m a Liverpool supporter and I was overjoyed when Everton ended MU’s dreams of the quin. I’ll be cheering the Evertonians in the FA cup final because I think they deserve to win it. Allardyce is nothing but Fergie’s lapdog, a whinger and a hypocrite. Anyone who saw the clip can see that Rafa looked kinda sheepish cause his players just scored a goal by not following his instructions. Fergie is so petty. It’s obvious Rafa rattles him and has exposed the frailties of his United team. Btw nice article. The only manager who has been and still is arrogant and constantly showing contempt to his strongest challengers is Fergie.
