Following an electric start to the season, a start which saw the forever optimistic Scousers beat the likes of ourselves, Chelsea away and gain a very respectable draw at the Emirates, they rose to the top of the table with more than half the season gone. They could almost smell that ever elusive and mythical 19th league title. Ferguson had to act. And he did. He suggested the flying Liver-bird could well get nervous under the pressure and expectation placed upon them in search for what their fan's most desperately craved. The rest is history. Hook, line and sinker, he managed to snare a 200 lb + native of Madrid, it's amazing his rod didn't snap!

"We don’t need to give away flags for our fans to wave – our supporters are always there with their hearts, and that is all we need. It’s the passion of the fans that helps to win matches – not stupid flags. Chelsea fans lack passion". "Chelsea is a big club with fantastic players, every manager wants to coach such a big team. But I would never take that job, in respect for my former team at Liverpool, no matter what. For me there is only one club in England, and that is Liverpool." - Rafa Benitez Oh how we've missed you. Fergie must be pissing himself
Embarrassing really, every time I read his comments on us in the past it makes me cringe we've now got him.
