Bitter Benitez

Premier League: Liverpool Loss At Middlesborough

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has declined the opportunity to properly congratulate Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson after we won the Premier League on Saturday.

Rafa did say a few nice(ish) words but that didn't last long, what a surprise.
"I will say congratulations to Manchester United.
They have done well, but I do not want to say too much,"
Benitez was quoted as saying by the BBC after the title was decided.
"I prefer just to say well done to the club, a big club, a good club.
"Normally, you have to be polite and respect the other manager. During the season we have seen a lot of things that I didn't like, so that's it. [we have seen alot of things that we don't like either]
"I say congratulations to United because they have won. And that's it."

On the flip side of that, I have to think whether or not I would congratulate Liverpool if they had won the title. My answer to that is no chance. I would probably be in a miserable mood and I wouldn't say congratulations so you can't really blame him.
