I mean when SAF leaves it will be hard to find a good manager and if we get one that wins us the UCL in his first season we would all have instant faith in him because we would see the potential he has... Altho i do believe Liverpool were lucky when they won that UCL but fair play to them |

Fergie is no angel but he does seem to have an ability to switch off from his job and help out others in football, managers, coaches, send teams for testimonials etc. What the likes of RAWK should realise is that Fergie has shown a lot of respect to Liverpool in the past. He was the first manager to visit Houllier in hospital after his heart problems. He was extremely helpful towards Liverpool after the Hillsborough Disaster (Dalglish mentioned this in his autobiography).He sent a letter of congratulations to Benitez after the 2005 Champions League Final. Shankly was a great manager for them and I've heard people comment on him being similar in many ways to Ferguson (remember he said something about United only having 3 good players during the 60s to gee up his players, he used to slag off the media for criticising his players).I reckon Shankly would have had more time for a manager like Ferguson than Benitez. Benitez is a manager who seems to lack an ability to have any respect for other teams, managers. There is an arrogance about the man that makes me think his upbringing as a reserve team player and coach at Real Madrid has brought about. |

I know. But I suppose to be fair it was in the heat of the moment with Fergie,the game had just finished. I remember him saying that he apologised to the players later.Fergie was a fair bit younger then than Benitez is now as well.I just reckon that Benitez comes across as a cold fish, the only manager I've seen saying nice things about him(other than saying he's a good manager) is Keane.I remember reading an article from a journalist who said that a Premier League manager turned off the television at half time in the second leg between Chelsea and Liverpool last season (with Liverpool 2-0 up) because he couldn't bear the thought of Benitez being smug if Liverpool went through.

We were fortunate but nowhere near as fortunate as they were in 2005. Thas was extremely lucky, along the lines of Arsenal against us in the 2005 FA Cup Final and Liverpool against Arsenal in the 2001 FA Cup Final.We were not fortunate against Chelsea though.

Not that it really needs to be said, but our success really kills them, it obviously tears them apart inside. When you see what they wish on Fergie - the pain, misery, bitterness - it's just them desperately wanting him to feel what they do, every single year. I can't even fathom how much they must resent Fergie for the success he's brought us at their expense.
But anyway, it can't be easy having to endure what they have. Is there even a precedent of a country's most successful team going a generation without a league title whilst their most hated rivals win everything? They're in their own little world of bitterness - you could call them an experiment. They're almost worthy of pity rather than ridicule, almost. |

They'd be worthy of pity like you said, if the way they reacted to anything United related wasn't so severely and needlessly venomous and extreme. I remember a lot of RAWKites going on about how they wished extremely painful and life threatening injuries to Rooney a while back. Whilst most of us hate Liverpool, I've never seen a thread of that nature about Torres or Gerrard on here. They've taken rivalry to a new level, and much of their fans conduct has been inexcusable, regardless of how many trophies they have or haven't won in recent years. Btw: Where does the thing on RAWK about Fergie being an alcoholic come from? I know they don't like us, but is there actually any solid basis underlying all the statements about the 'drunken' SAF, which seem to permeate a lot of the posts on there. |

Having not seen anything to 'prove' that Sir Alex is a drunk, I think that he might have quipped to a paper that he enjoyed a scotch whisky every now and again. RAWK sensationalism ensuwes and now we get this idea that SAF is a alcoholic that cant tell his arse from his elbow.

Fergie has told of his liking for wine. Scots are archetypically portrayed as very fond of drink. He has the red nose with visible blood-vessels that is supposedly typical of drinking. They want to denigrate him by any means available. |

They don't seem to realise that if Sir Alex has indeed been an alcoholic for 2 decades and still wiped the floor with them, what would happen if he remains sober.
Treble every year? |

![]() I actually feel embarrassed for them when I hear that dirge Fields of Anfield......wtf are they trying to prove? They're Irish? Or just trying to be like Celtic copying another of their songs? Truly cringeworthy. We had to watch them win everything in sight whilst we picked up the occasional cup just like they do now. Difference is, although the rivalry was just as strong as it is now, we didn't display the same bitterness and vile envy to this degree. Even then they hated us because they felt we got more than our due publicity. Probably because although we didn't win the trophies that they did, we actually played entertaining football instead of passing back to Grobbelaar, Hansen and back to Grobbelaar ad infinitum. The media liked our style of football and so did fans throughout the world, which is why we were better supported than them, even then. |

We have our own idiots, so I wouldn't expect RAWK to be without any. It's their moderators who are a disgrace. We have banned any snide comments about Hillsborough and Heysel - we had a very well behaved thread on the Hillsborough anniversary, and we don't tolerate comments about people dying etc. In other words, we have standards. It would be easy to let this place become a free for all, and be as bad as them. But I wouldn't want it to be like RAWK here, and as it is, apart from the usual banter, we can say we're better human beings because out of decency we don't allow the crap that they do. Obviously some things might get through, but in the main, we give them a far higher level of respect than they do us. |

A bit more saner than RAWK, but over there, everyone has the power to rep and the subscribers (of which there are many) get the power to neg-rep. Creates a really annoying atmosphere where neutrals can hardly get their views accross without getting neg-repped to high hell. I've been neg-repped insanely in the last 24 hrs for a genuine question about Alonso's transfer. |

All those horrible cnuts need is to win the league again for all the conspiracy theories and nastiness to subside.
Such a shame that they won't be getting a title in the forseeable future. |
