Unrepentant Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez has launched a fresh attack on Sir Alex Ferguson after his counterparts' complaints about the fixture list and referees.

"In 20 years, nobody said these things," he said. Ferguson has yet to respond to the claims.

Benitez also claimed Ferguson intimidates match officials and often escapes punishment.

He produced a sheet of paper to read out a list of accusations. His actions, seemingly triggered by Ferguson's assertion that nerves may affect Liverpool's title challenge, have provoked huge debate. - BBC
