I wasn't sure. I thought Mr Benitez cited this as an example of how the FA are helping United to win the league? I must have missed his comment on the refixture!

If you're trying to be equally inane, then you are succeeding

No, just pointing out more of the contradictions.

You have to admit - there's a bit of a soap opera surrounding him recently.

Benitez never said the FA were helping United with the fixture list.
He said Ferguson should stop moaning about the fixture list.

magpie seanie · January 28, 2009, 01:06:08 PM

No he didn't. He said United were getting an advantage. So did Wenger.

And Ferguson said United be ad a disavantage with the fixtures so six and one...

And to back it up with a quote..

"I've been saying this for a few months, but our fixture programme didn't do us any favours and I think we have been handicapped by the Premier League," Ferguson, whose team face Southampton in the FA Cup third round at St Mary's Stadium tomorrow, said. "They tell me it's not planned - bloody hell!" Asked if he seriously thought that the Premier League wanted to put United at a disadvantage, the United manager said: "I've got my doubts. I'm not saying what they do down there, but next year we'll be sending somebody to see how it happens, I can assure you. I just don't understand how you can get the fixtures like that."

Correct. Six and one are different, i.e. not the same.

was changed from Sat to Monday to show on setanta then when Liverpool and Everton drew on Sunday it was changed back to Saturday to accommodate replay,nightmare when you have flights and hotel booked for the Monday.

and half a dozen to the other, didn't know I had to finish it off for you.

Can you tell me the difference between Ferguso monaing about them being disadvantaged and Rafa moaning that they have an advantage?

I said "equally" earlier. That was doing you an injustice. Surpassing by a distance $:-\$

The difference is Mr Ferguson has the media in his back pocket whereas Benitez does not enjoy this privelege.

Excellent analysis

Liverpool fans in general have a very defensive attitude and it is being highlighted on here to a great degree recently, I know a lot of commentators (not football BTW) have said before that Liverpool as a city enjoys playing the victim role - which was a little harsh IMO based on some of the tragedies visited upon the city - but I do see their point sometimes with some of the yamming (another great word only the Irish use) on here.
