Alex Ferguson is a naughty old man

After United beat Porto, I reckoned that Fergie would lay off Liverpool till at least next week, and focus on Everton in the meantime.

It seems that the old man is smarter and sharper than yours truly - not only has he set out the most delicious of baits that Rafa would be a saint not to take up, but he's also managed to rope in Sam Allardyce with his bait, causing the man they call Big Sam to complain about being 'ignored' and 'dismissed' by Rafa Benitez.
