Allardyce jibes follow Liverpool boss Benitez to France

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez refused to bite back at Blackburn Rovers rival Sam Allardyce after defeat at Lille.

Allardyce suggested Benitez's criticism of him is a cover-up for how bad Liverpool are, claiming the Reds have all but blown their chance of finishing in the top four.

But after the 1-0 Europa League defeat in Lille the Liverpool boss said he did not want to give Allardyce any more publicity.

"Who?" was his initial, half-joking, response when asked about Allardyce's latest comments.

"No comment. No publicity for him."

Once again Rafa is found out to be a loser, why doesn't he stop picking on teams who have less fans and less expectancy, of course his team will most likely out play Blackburn, any idiot can tell you that, Blackburn don't have the finances that Rafa has at his disposal, id love it if Liverpool fcukd up this season just to shut the moaning ***** up.

Pathetic, the pair of 'em! and I'm a Rovers fan.
