In the past one month we have seen war of words between Manchester United boss, Sir Alex Ferguson and Liverpool boss, Rafael Benitez on several issues. United and Liverpool are recognized for sharing the most bitter relation in Premier League. Benitez accused United of favorable fixtures this year.

He accused him last year too but no one supported his claim. This year finally Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal manager has stood up to supports the Reds boss claim. He has said that it is quite apparent if you see the next ten matches United is facing from next week. It is unfair to the rest of the title contenders but we can’t do anything. The people to be blamed are those who make the schedule. We can’t accuse the Red Devils for it but issue should certainly be raised. Although Mourinho would not agree on this with the Reds boss but Rafa would be satisfied with Wenger’s comments.

He has scored 9 goals for the team in the premieqr league season and more goals are still to come from the Reds skipper. He struck a ferocious strike at Anfield last weekend and his class is permanent. Gerrard has denied the charges and he is out on bail. The team is supporting the Reds starlet and so are the fans.
