MISS! MISS! HE DID A FUNNY FACE!!!
If you managed a football team, and they traipsed back into the dressing room after 90 minutes of futile toil during which they didn't get a single kick, losing 4-0, and you'd picked Christopher Samba up front as your lone striker, what would be your overriding emotion? Embarrassment, perhaps? Or the sort of total and utter humiliation that makes a man knock back a litre of Juniper Surprise, then book a Special Calming Treatment at the Eternal Spa? Hmm. But however hard the defeat would hit you, surely your tipping point would have nothing whatsoever to do with a slightly overweight gentleman standing in your approximate environs, crossing and uncrossing his arms. You would surely still retain at least one sliver of dignity and self-respect, a sliver which ensured you'd not be unduly affected by something as trivial as that? Right?


Sadly that's not the case with this poor petal: Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce has admitted today to being on the end of a "humiliating" gesture by Rafael Benitez at Anfield last weekend. When Fernando Torres scored Liverpool's second goal after 33 minutes, Benitez got up off the bench and gesticulated to his team. "It was open arms and then a crossover of the arms," explained Sensitive Sam, before going on to do the hitchhike, the watusi, and the mashed potato. "It was as if to suggest that was it," added Allardyce, who was so offended he voluntarily went to Benitez's office after the game to swill his booze.
But even free pop didn't please Sensitive Sam. Not only was Rafa's Rioja slightly below room temperature, triggering a slightly unpleasant tingle in his teeth, but the Liverpool manager also failed to turn up in person. "Not explaining himself by not turning up in his office really shows what he is like," said Allardyce, who is 54 years of age. "The only people I saw were Sammy Lee and a few of the staff, but he never showed his face. That was just as disappointing as the gesture, and it typifies the man."

In total agreement is Mr. Ferguson, who ahead of Manchester United's FA Cup final with Everton, piped up: "Everton are a big club, not a small one which Benitez arrogantly said. But arrogance is one thing. You cannot forgive contempt, which is what he showed Sam Allardyce last weekend." It's very honourable of Fergie to stick up loyally for his pal Sensitive Sam in this spat - although it does seem strange that he did it before Allardyce had actually said anything today. Almost as if they'd decided to launch a pincer movement on Benitez while chatting over the phone last night. Ferguson, incidentally, is 67.

lol

Bobby, the funny thing is, haven't you had several tirades against Rafa? Fergie and Sam said hes arrogant and you go crazy? wtf lol

Also Rafa was stupid to call Everton are a small club, even the most passionate Liverpool fan recognises that Everton are a big club.

Benitez is quite a "sterile" character, though, so maybe the small-club comment was misinterpreted, or more likely, that he meant to say something slightly different. Like Everton is a club with (relatively) small goals compared to his own working standard.

Also, lmao @ Allardyce getting his panties in a bunch. I was half-expecting a 30 second Rafa-Rant-Dance totally insulting Sammy, but he just crossed his arms? lol

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^the Everton comment was made two or three years ago. At the time Everton were struggling. He said it to wind them up before a game obviously.

My point is this. Why is the prick Ferguson bringing up a comment made a few years ago that had absolutely nothing to do with him or his club? and is he really in a position to complain about Rafa Benitez making such a comment when he made a similar comment about Arsene Wegner and Arsenal back in 1997. (read the quote). He is such a hypocrite.

Apparantly Benitez's gesture was made towards Xabi Alonso. He told Alonso to do something but Alonso did the opposite and Liverpool ended up scoring. He was gesturing at him and it had nothing to do with fat useless manager Allardyce.

i have criticized Benitez in the past, yes.mainly over his negative tactics and in the heat of the moment after a game. I wont deny it but i do like Benitez. I dont think Liverpool will get a better manager than him. i am 100% behind him now because i think something has changed in his approach and philosophy.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Bobby, you shouldn't post in the heat of the moment lol, you come out with some over the top rants at times. You rarely see anyone else call players pricks and scums on here.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^what players did i call pricks and scum?

what can i say. i have a strong dislike for Alex Ferguson.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

In the past I meant...C.Ronaldo and Evra spring to mind If the same was said about Gerrard I would expect a tirade post lol

 

[Bobby Sands]

well i agree scum is probably a harsh word. but pricks is ok for them lol.

actually remember Illuminatille? He always ranted on about how he hated Gerrard and Liverpool.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Where has he gone now? He was a good poster in general.

 

[Bobby Sands]

i dunno. i added him on my friends list on xbox live a while back, and i dont recall him logging onto that in ages because its notifies you when someone on your friends list logs into Xbox live.

 

[2Pax]

He's locked in my basement with Dr.Dre.

Arsenal and Chelsea today in the FA cup, what are peoples thoughts? Even though Arsenal are finding form again i'm backing a Chelsea win. Althought I would love it if Arsenal won.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Hope they both knock each other out.

 

[DPG iz all I C]

Arsenal will beat Chelsea today, i'll say 2-1 with Ade and Arshavin scoring.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^i never knew you were a psychic?

 

[Bobby Sands]

come on arsenal, use up all your energy for Tuesday night

 

[DPG iz all I C]

2-1 Drogba.

Fabianski has been awful

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Why didn't Arshavin start...
