SHUT IT!!!

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez have been warned to end their war of words right now.

The ultimatum has come from League Managers Association chief Richard Bevan who stepped in yesterday to try and defuse the situation.

Fergie's battle with Benitez has been on going all season and has the title race hots up then so does their feud. Fergie's latest rant came on Friday when he called his Liverpool counterpart rude and arrogant for calling Everton a small club and for a gesture he made during Liverpool's win against Blackburn a few weeks ago.

Yesterday Fergie continued his rant by saying: “I made my point about it. I don’t understand why he did it.

“I don’t want to go on about it any more. I made my point. There is no point carrying it on. It’s plain for everybody to see now. I have made my issue about it.”

Fergie seems to watching Benitez's movements very carefully looking for any opportunity to have a swipe at him.

United's chief is still smarting from January when Rafa Benitez pulled out a piece of paper during a press conference and starting tearing strips out of Sir Alex's previous rants for him to only reply that Rafa was 'disturbed'.

If the war-of-words continues then i think the only way that it will ever be resolved would be to for Nanny Bevan to put Fergie on the naughty step and Benitez in the corner, both need to take a leaf out of Chelsea's Gus Hiddink book and just get on with it.
