Its a one way thing though.
Fergie fecks off and winds up his rivals, but anything in return will be water off a ducks back. The fact he drew Rafa into a response is once again victory to Fergie imo.

That conclusion can only be drawn if nobody sits up and takes notice.
I'm sure Fergie isn't overly happy with some of Rafa's words.

He is the master at this stuff. I've never seen anyone get the better of him at it.
If Rafa could take anything from it, i would say its an admission by Fergie that he now considers Liverpool has serious title contenders.

Completely agree.
I'm sure Fergie would relish a title challenge with Liverpool seeing as others (Arsenal and Chelsea to some extent) seem not as strong as previous years.

Of course he would, he is 7 points behind them.

Winning both games in hand would make it a very interesting.

Indeed, hopefully there'll be more needle between the two as well.

Great that Rafa has said this, and in such a dignified way.
However - should Manure win the title, then this will look like Fergie had won the battle over Liverpool by Jan. This is textbook Fergie mind.....
I guess the only better thing Rafa could've said would have been: 'I don't give a slice of chorizo what that man thinks about anything, I only care about Liverpool FC'.

Agreed. Reminds me of the Keegan situation.
I have little doubt United will do Liverpool in their league fixture.

I think Mourinho can claim he got the better of Fergie, just look at the record between the two managers :icon_wink

That was the best relationship regarding Fergie and his rival managers though.
In terms of results Mourinho yes, but i don't recall Fergie being rattled by Mourinho. They seemed to have a mutual respect for each other.

But Fergie constantly had digs at Mourinho and yet Chelsea kept on getting the results. As some have said as soonas an opposition manager responds to Fergie they have lost the argument. Mourinho didnt get drawn into and let his team do the talking

According to some chap on another forum, he did the same to Wenger in one season where United were clear of Arse - only for them to do 'em.
