Ferguson: Benitez angry and disturbed
http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/9063488/Ferguson:-Benitez-angry-and-disturbed
MANCHESTER, England (AP) - Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson called Liverpool counterpart Rafa Benitez angry and disturbed in response to the Spaniard's critical comments about him.
On Friday, Benitez said Ferguson goes unpunished when speaking about referees and saying the league is conspiring against his title defense.
"I think you've got to cut through the venom of it and hopefully he will reflect and understand what he is saying is absolutely ridiculous," Ferguson said Sunday after United beat second-place Chelsea 3-0. "But I think he is an angry man who is disturbed for some reason or another."
Liverpool are all talk, says Fergie

SIR ALEX FERGUSON has risked deepening his rift with Rafael Benitez by suggesting Liverpool’s challenge for the Premier League title is little more than talk. Ferguson said Chelsea, whom his team face today, remain Manchester United’s main rivals. “I’m of the opinion that it [the title race] usually goes down to two teams, in the last month anyway,” said Ferguson. His implication was that neither of those twin contenders would be the Anfield side.
Ferguson’s remarks are sure to further pique Benitez who, on Friday, launched a prolonged and premeditated verbal assault on the United boss, detailing a litany of complaints about Ferguson, the gist of which were that his rival had been allowed by the lawmamkers of English football to place himself above the rules.
In his latest comments, Ferguson downplays the seriousness of Liverpool’s bid for a first title in 19 years. “Liverpool have had a good start and it’s given them more confidence and there’s more expectation on them now. They’re talking about winning the league, the supporters are talking about winning it and the players are talking about [it] so that’s a change. But they’ve not been able to talk about it for at least a good few years,” he said. He still expects the title to come down to a scrap between United and Chelsea. “Chelsea have experience and have been our main rivals for the last five years.”
