Not so busy day.

Not a lot has happened today except that Benitez started whining about how unfair his team is treated by the Premier League.

He Said "How can a player with a signed agreement be treated like this?He has a document which is clear, but the Premier League prefers to believe the word of someone else who made a mistake."
I'm sure that if Liverpool had a legal leg to stand on they would have taken it further. The Premier League would not have ignored a legally binding letter, Obviously the letter wasn't.

"Then I would like to ask the Premier League why is it that Liverpool always plays the most fixtures away from home in an early kick-off, following an international break? We had more than the top clubs last season and we have four already to prepare for this season."
Its all about ratings Rafa, more people want to watch United so they give us the better time slot. Accept it Liverpool isn't as important and United.

Benitez added: "Then I want to ask the Premier League why it was so difficult for Liverpool to sign Javier Mascherano, when we had to wait a long time for the paperwork, but it was so easy for Carlos Tevez to join Manchester United?"
The Tevez Saga was going on for weeks, obviously United's team of experts were preparing for the deal. Also the Premier League had dealt with a matter like this before as you clearly put it and it was easier the second time around.

And my favorite thing he said "It's going to be very difficult for us to win the Premier League because the other teams are so strong, but I want our supporters to know that despite the disadvantages we have, we will fight all the way. We will fight to cope with our more difficult kick-off times and all the other decisions which are going against us."
This sounds like an excuse to me and so early in the season mate.

Heinze
The traitor has finally left us, good. He destroyed a good name he had with the United fans. Did he really think he could prove something? Did he think he was going to create a "Heinze" rule like Bosman? I think he thought the deal was as good as done and wanted to get United back for not having him in the starting line up. Can you just imaging the boo's at OT when real come to visit.

Two of the issues that Benitez was talking about directly involved Man Utd, and you know the Tevez deal took longer than a couple of days, It was months in fact.

When SAF spoke about Ronaldo it was that a player put his hand around his neck and pulled Ronaldo towards him, granted Ronaldo should not have retaliated and his punishment was deserved but the player who pulled him (I didnt see who it was) should have got a yellow or something because its not right to instigate touble either.

lithat player did receive a yellow in fact,directly after Ronaldo received his marching orders. I still disargree that Rafa was not aiming his criticism at United but using them as an example to the panel.Anyway dont lose today cause 19th positon belongs to a newly promoted teams..not the Champions of England!!!
