Rafael Benitez's outburst made up of half-truth and disinformation

Naušsynlegt aš lesa ķ umręšunni sem viršist ętla aš halda įfram.

Has Rafael Benitez cracked? Has he fallen for the oldest of Alex Ferguson's ruses? Or was this Benitez seizing the initiative, a calculated attack designed to undermine the Manchester United manager's formidable, not to say intimidating, influence?

Benitez is an almost compulsive intriguer. He has spent the last year engaged in a loosely concealed attempt to undermine his own chief executive, Rick Parry, employing innuendo and double-speak rather than come out and clearly define his position.
He left Valencia after falling out with the club's sporting director and has continuously tussled for every advantage behind the scenes at Liverpool.
Yet this attack on Ferguson is not the Machiavellian scheme some might attribute to Benitez.
Leaving aside, for a moment, the accusation that Benitez has risen to Ferguson's bait, it is worth examining the validity of Benitez's various accusations. Disinformation and half-truth abound.
Charge 1 "We have seen players sent off at Old Trafford and we do not see our opponents sent off."
There has only been one player sent off at Old Trafford this season. In September, Middlesbrough's Emanuel Pogatetz was shown the red card after he went in two-footed on Rodrigo Possebon. The young Brazilian midfielder was lucky to avoid serious injury and both the Boro manager Gareth Southgate and Pogatetz apologised. There can be absolutely no dispute.
Two players have been sent off for the opposition at Anfield this season. Wigan's Luis Antonio Valencia was sent off for two bookings in October in a game that Liverpool won 3-2. His first caution was for encroaching on a free-kick. Here's what Steve Bruce said about it: "I just thought all the little decisions in the second half went Liverpool's way. It's difficult enough coming to Anfield, but you need some fairness and strength. Two minutes after Valencia was dismissed, [Nabil] El Zhar tackled Mario Melchiot in the same way and... nothing. That's what annoys us to."
The other player to be sent off at Anfield? Nemanja Vidic of Manchester United.
Hardly fits Benitez's conspiracy, does it?
Charge 2 "During the respect campaign, and this is a fact, Mr Ferguson was charged by the FA for improper conduct after comments made about Martin Atkinson and Keith Hackett. He was not punished. He is the only manager in the league that cannot be punished for these things."
Ferguson was charged for making some pretty pathetic and disparaging remarks about Atkinson after the FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Portsmouth in March.
Carlos Queiroz, his then assistant, was also charged. Both were later cleared by an independent commission, not the FA.
In regards Hackett, Ferguson accused him of being biased towards Chelsea after John Terry's red card against Manchester City was rescinded. Ferguson looked paranoid – the decision to send off Terry had been considered pretty harsh – and not a little self-interested as Terry was freed up to play United. And perhaps the FA's failure to punish Ferguson was a weakness.
But to suggest other managers get punished misses the mark. Everton's David Moyes has been fined £5,000, Phil Brown has been fined £1,000 and Roy Keane received no fine at all relating to charges of improper conduct. All were warned about their future conduct. Joe Kinnear has two charges outstanding.
While this might show that the Respect campaign is a sham, it does not suggest the FA are cracking down on anyone. Not a touchline ban to be seen.
Oh, except for Ferguson, who was given a two-game ban for abusing Mike Dean after a the 4-3 win over Hull in November. He also got a £10,000 fine. So he is the one manager who has been substantially punished by the FA this season.
Charge 3 "Then he was talking about the fixtures. Two years ago we were playing a lot of early kick-offs away on Saturdays when United were playing on Sundays – and we didn't say anything."
Ferguson's claims of an anti-United bias in the fixture schedule are laughable. But so is Benitez's counter-suggestion that United were favoured in the past. True, Liverpool did play five away fixtures in the early Saturday slot in the 2006-07 season, losing two, winning two and drawing one.
But then United also played five away games for the Saturday matinee audience. Again, Benitez seems to have his facts wrong. He is right that United played more Sunday games that season – nine to Liverpool's five – but they are hardly advantageous if you are playing in the middle of the following week.
Jose Mourinho used to complain that the English league disadvantaged its Champions League competitors by failing to move games that undermined preparation for big ties. But then all teams have been disadvantaged equally.
Few managers take on Ferguson and come off unscathed. Benitez's courage might be applauded if only his claims had more substance. Ferguson is petty and irrational, and he will wind you up until you crack.

Saying Nothing
"Then he was talking about the fixtures. Two years ago we were playing a lot of early kick-offs away on Saturdays when United were playing on Sundays. And we didn't say anything" - Rafa Benitez, January 9 2008.

"I would like to ask the Premier League why is it that Liverpool always play the most fixtures away from home in an early kick-off, following an international break? We had more than the top clubs last season and we have four already to prepare for this season. It's going to be very difficult for us to win the Premier League because the other teams are so strong, but I want our supporters to know that despite the disadvantages we have, we will fight all the way" - Rafa Benitez, August 23 2007.

"We will analyse it and talk with the Premier League. We will see how to stop this situation, but if you play on Tuesday, for example, in an international break, it will be easier. In the Champions League, if you play on Wednesday, you must play on Sunday. In Spain it's like this. The television companies decide on early kick-offs on Saturday, so someone needs to talk to them as well. If you want your teams at the top of the Champions League, then protect them" - Rafa Benitez, September 17 2007.


And For Those That Missed It...
Said Rafa at the end of his ramble, which clocked in at just under five minutes and F365's transcript of which stretched to 1,002 words:

"I would rather not talk too much about this, though, when we have an important game ahead."

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA jį žaš hefur einn mašur stigiš fram og bakkaš kjįnan upp Graham Poll - LOL - hvaš er hann aftur aš gera ķ dag eftir "frįbęra" frammistöšu į EM

Žaš er reyndar ekki skrķtiš aš žiš pśllarar skiljiš žetta ekki. Žegar spilaš er į stórvöllunum ķ Evrópu eins og Nżvangi og Old Trafford žar sem saman eru kominn tęplega 100.000 mans öskrandi er ekki skrķtiš aš dómarar hallist ašeins į sveif meš heimališinu enda kallaš heimavöllur, į móti smįvöllum eins og Anfield og Laugardalsvelli žar sem 10 til 40 žśsund manns koma saman ķ mesta lagi og nį varla betri stemmingu en į Gaypride ķ Kślśsśkk fyrir tveim įrum. Jś reyndar hefur veriš talaš um aš saman komi ķ einum endanum fįeinar fyllibyttur ķ öšrum enda Aintfield og syngi saman gamalt lag sem lengi hefur veriš sungiš ķ skotlandi en žaš er önnur saga og skemmtileg, en hvaša įhrif hefur žaš į dómarann,, uuuu nįkvęmlega engin įhrif.

Annars berast fréttir af žvķ ķ blöšunum ķ dag aš įstęša žessa alls sé aš hinir mögnušu eigendur lpool vilji stilla mįlinu upp žannig aš einhverjir ašrir en Benni sjįi um kaup og sölur leikmanna sem er svo sem skiljanlegt ef horft er į įrangurinn į žeim svišum undanfarin įr. Og af žeim sökum er Benni gešstiršur eins gamalt hęnsn sem veit ekki sķn takmörk og reynir viš skotmörk sem eru honum vķšsfjarri.

Ętlar žś aš setja žig į hęrri stall en einn virtasti dómari Englands į seinni įrum? Hann er hęttur vegna aldurs en žaš er önnur saga.

En ķ stuttu mįli er ég glašur aš sjį aš žś ert sammįla meistara Benķtes žegar aš žś segir aš liš njóti ekki réttlętis į trafford vegna žess aš trafford er of stór LOL pathetic śtskżring svo ekki meira sé sagt.

Trafford tekur 77000 žśsund žöglar rękjusamlokuętur og einu öskrin žar į leikdegi eru vęlin ķ sörnum og Rooney ķ dómurum leikjana žar og žaš er žaš sem Benķtes er aš tala um. Ekki einu sinni reyna aš koma meš einhverja vitleysu um aš sörinn kvarti minna undan dómurum en ašrir stjórar. Hann grętur langmest og žaš er satt hjį meistaranum. Sörinn er lķka eini stjórinn sem kvartar undan uppröšun leikja į hans stjórnartķš.

En talandi um žessa fyndnu "śtskżringar" į žvķ sem Benķtes er aš segja ętla ég aš taka charge no.1 fyrir žar sem skżringarnar eru bara barnalegar og greinilegar skrifašar af einhverjum örvita sem er eflaust einhver fallisti ķ rökfręšaskóla sśšavķkur.

Charge 1 "We have seen players sent off at Old Trafford and we do not see our opponents sent off."

Žetta er nįnast sorglegt en hver var aš segja aš Benķtes hafi veriš eingöngu aš tala um žetta tķmabil. Eflaust hefur žessi "sérfręšingur" sett žetta svona upp žar sem aš tölfręšin į žessu tķmabili er svona en žaš vita allir aš Benķtes var aš tala um dómgęslu almennt į sķšustu įrum. Hitt nenni ég ekki einu sinni aš ręša um enda greinilega einhvert grey sem komst aš lyklaborši sķnu ķ annarlegu įstandi.

Sir Alex Ferguson stjóri Manchester United ętlar ekki aš fį til sķn neina leikmenn ķ félagaskiptaglugganum sem opnar 1. janśar.

Ferguson keypti einn leikmann ķ sumar žegar hann fékk Dimitar Berbatov frį Tottenham.

,,Žaš verša enginn kaup ķ janśar, ég er sįttur meš žaš sem ég hef," sagši Ferguson.

,,Viš munum lķklega kalla unga leikmenn til baka śr lįni, žaš gęti gefiš okkur ašeins meiri breidd."

,,Viš fórum meš 23 leikmenn til Japan sem eru allir góšir, ég myndi glašur spila žeim öllum."

Zoran Tosic og Adem Ljajic hafa nįš samkomulagi viš Manchester United aš ganga til lišsins frį Partizan Belgrade.

United tilkynntu fyrir nokkrum mįnušum sķšan aš žeir hefšu samiš um kaupverš į leikmönnunum og hafa žeir veriš aš semja viš leikmennina ķ smį tķma.

Sį oršrómur kom upp aš Arsenal og Manchester City ętlušu sér aš reyna aš fį leikmennina, en svo varš ekki.

Tosic kemur til United ķ nęstu viku og veršur leikfęr meš lišinu, en Ljajic veršur įfram ķ Serbķu og klįrar tķmabiliš žar.

Tosic, sem er 21 įrs gamall og er talinn einn efnilegasti leikmašur Evrópu um žessar mundir fęr treyju nśmer fjórtan hjį félaginu.

United er bara draslliš sem slysar inn heppnismörkum į lokamķnśtum leikja. Stušnings"menn" sitja svo sjįlfumglašir og hrópa "Bestir ķ heimi!" ķ hvert sinn sem tķzkumišušu portśgölsku grįtdśkkurnar sóla sjįlfa sig uppśr skónum. žaš hefur ekki veriš karlmašur ķ žessu liši sķšan Roy Kean hętti. Žaš er einn leikmašur į Old Trafford sem kemst nįlęgt žvķ aš vera karlmašur en žaš er Ryan Giggs og žaš er einungis vegna žess aš hann er įlķka "old" og Trafford.

United endar ķ 3ja sęti og geta prķsaš sig sęla fyrir žaš, enda bara heppni sem kemur žeim žangaš.
