That will hurt United as now every aspect of their manipulation during matches will be spotlighted.


Well done Rafa - as United will now find it extremely difficult to beat Chelsea on Sunday as the Refereeing officials will most certainly clamp down on their gamesmanship.

Daily Mail has full transcript which is even more explosive! It sounds very much like Rafa has been keeping his powder dry with his dossier on United and has suggested that Steve Bennett is in line to referee United's game in hand when they play Wigan... the same referee who Rafa has alluded to being instrumental in United winning title last season.

This is the actual TV footage from the press conference... in case anyone thought Rafa was shouting and jabbing his finger at the camera B)

Hee, hee, so this is how it begins...is he falling into the trap?


Personally, I don't believe half the cobblers that's spouted about 'mindgames'.


Doesn't he contradict himslef though? He quotes instances of Fergie being punished then says he's the only manager who can talk to refs without getting punished?

Having watched the press conference it looks to me like Benitez was in full control, and it was a carefully calculated attack on United. Rafa doesn't often go on the attack like that - but when he does he goes at it full power. I don't think that will be the end of the matter so expect more fireworks from the Spaniard now that he has taken off the gloves.


Fergie should have a quick chat with his mates Jose and Big Sam to know you don't cross Rafa otherwise he will break you in half on and off the pitch.

I love him. Have only read the transcript, but can't wait to watch it.


He cracks me up and considering English is his second language he's very clever with what he says. Has a fair argument against Fergie.


His comment earlier this season about the Brummie accent was hilarious. Would love to meet him.

I have just watched this and think (unfortunately) rafa is feeling the heat - if you start complainig about others having preferential treatment you are bound to look weak. I know it was well rehearsed and well delivered but that does not matter I think he looks weak by going public with this - ferguson must be laughing his jock socks off.


I'm not a man united fan but feel they are best placed to win the league - I'd like to see liverpool do it but having watched a couple of home draws (they seem to be on Setanta a lot) I feel Rafa is too cautious to win the premiership - I don't mind MU winning it as i feel they play the most attacking football of the big 4 - although Villa now have claims to to be most attacking.

I think Liverpool depend upon shots from outside the box for too many of their goals and when a defence sits back they have trouble scoring at home. Away from home they get more space and have no problems but Rafa is too cautious at home and its at home where the league is won and lost - i feel Liverpool could have had a healthy cushion with another 6 points and lost a huge opportunity with 3 draws before christmas (fulham, west ham and hull). I feel if MU win tomorrow they will then be in the driving street.

Steady on Mac, you won't make any friends on here being pro Man Utd in anyway! ;-)


It seems to be a fair reading of the Benitez outburst though. People I have spoken to (not Man U fans) have said similar things. I think his biggest mistake was using the M word. The only person who never uses the M word is Fergie.

I have to confess to having a bet on MU - my preference for them is mainly financial - but I prefer attacking football - Ferguson and Martin O Neill for me play the most attacking football.


I grew up a Liverpool fan and loved their football as far back as Keegan and Toshack - but think Liverpool made a mistake going down the european manager route. They could have had Martin O Neill when they went for Rafa and I think if they had they would have won the title by now, MON's teams do not mess about -they go for the jugular - lots of width and speed.

Watching Livepool on setanta and its Stoke who look most likely to score - Rafa's about to make a change which may help - but he does like to leave it late - I'm sure if he had a proper striker (Kuyt doen't count) on from the start they may have put this to bed by now.....

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
