From the Offal - LINKY------>

Rafa Benitez today dismissed suggestions from Alex Ferguson that whoever wins the Champions League quarter-final between Liverpool and Chelsea will be the biggest threat to Manchester United in the Premier League.
The Old Trafford boss claims the loser will be knocked off their stride in the title race.

But Benitez told his pre-match press conference: "If Chelsea are not in the Champions League he knows they'll be a threat, and if Liverpool are not he knows we'll be a threat - he loses either way.

"I think they (United) have a problem because, clearly, either us or Chelsea will be able to focus on the league.

"I think he will be supporting Liverpool because we are the big threat now and if we continue in the competition maybe we'll be tired.

"You will have time to prepare for every single Premier League game (if you are eliminated), so clearly he will be supporting us.

"He likes to talk too much about other teams. I don't think it's mind games - I think maybe he's a little bit scared."

Absolute gold Rafa!

This is proof we aint afriad of them, and this is proof of a positive vibe at the club, and its is not time we take them on head to head.

I love this, we showed them too much respect and too much awe.

Bring the scum on!!!

Rafa is putting Fergie under pressure.
Love it

well done Rafa!!! are we starting to see the tables turn? I think so

Porto 2 away goals - very fitting to get a goal in the 89th min too hahaha!

Come on Redmen!!! down with the scum bag mancs - fergus to retire... happy days!

COME ON RAFA.

I love that in some sections of the media this is being marketed as "Rafa's rant 2".

Has anyone seen it? It's a softly spoken response to a question, with a wry smile....

you gotta love the papers! They will try and ignite everything.

Is it just me or do we always play crap riht after Rafa takes a swipe at Fergiscum?

LOL! Joel you seem to be the superstitious sort - jinxed nº7 shirts and now this

I have top admit I'm awful match days... for instance last night I tried (and failed) to stop my son using a blue straw for his juice instead of a red one!!! it prayed on my mind for a while to be fair!!! I have to fight these pessimistic thoughts

It's unlucky to be superstitious!!!! hahaha.

Well my "lucky" shirt now needs another wash. That's three this season now!

I told my boss (whose also a red) during my performance review this morning that the reason we lost is because i wasn't leathered therefore the loss was his fault for booking my PPA the day after a European game. We don't win when i'm sober!!
