Fergie blasts Dalglish and Taylor

Sir Alex Ferguson has accused Kenny Dalglish and Graham Taylor of having short memories as he prepares to defend his improper conduct charge.
Ferguson is facing an extended touchline ban following comments about referee Martin Atkinson in the wake of his side's controversial Premier League defeat at Chelsea last week.
FA Cup Scores | Stats | Fixtures
In criticising Atkinson's performance, Ferguson claimed such a high-profile match required a "fair" official and that as soon as he realised the Yorkshireman would be in charge he "feared the worst".
Ferguson believes his words were vindicated by Atkinson's failure to dismiss David Luiz for fouls on Javier Hernandez and Wayne Rooney after the Brazilian had already been booked, plus the subsequent penalty decision against Chris Smalling which allowed Frank Lampard to drive home the winner.
However, his comments have been called into question by both Dalglish, whose Liverpool side added to what Ferguson admitted was a "nightmare week" at Anfield last Sunday, and former England boss Taylor.
"I was disappointed with Graham Taylor, who wrote that I had to take 'the rough with the smooth'," Ferguson told the official match programme United Review ahead of Saturday afternoon's FA Cup quarter-final with Arsenal.
"I think back to when he was England manager and was complaining to a linesman: 'The referee has got me the sack.'
"People have short memories.
"Kenny Dalglish looked to be lecturing me in the papers about the need to respect referees, perhaps forgetting that not so long ago his players were tweeting critically all over the place about Howard Webb."
Ferguson was referring to the mock-up picture of World Cup final referee Webb in a Manchester United shirt that was posted by Ryan Babel in the aftermath of Liverpool's FA Cup third-round defeat at Old Trafford in January, which earned the Dutchman a £10,000 fine.
Taylor's comments meanwhile came during a qualifier for the 1994 World Cup when England lost to Holland in controversial circumstances and ended up being eliminated.
In this instance, although no date for the hearing - which must be held by March 25 - has been made public, the United manager feels he has a cast-iron case.
"I felt aggrieved and I now face an FA charge for what, to my mind, was simply telling the truth.
"I will be defending myself strongly when my FA appeal hearing comes up.
"In fact, I am looking forward to the challenge because, to my mind, I have not said anything out of place, however much the media urge the FA to take action.
"The papers keep on and on about it because Manchester United are involved, and they failed to get the FA Compliance Unit to pick up on the Wayne Rooney incident in the Wigan game.
The home of the best LIVE soccer and rugby awaits at FoxSoccer.tv -- don't miss a second of the action.
"I won't be on the back foot when I put my case to the FA, though.
"I don't think sticking up for my team makes me a villain, especially when you consider that Manchester United have one of the best disciplinary records in the country."
There is certainly a belief inside Old Trafford that the FA have only acted against Ferguson because they were unable to apply the correct sanction against Rooney for his attack on Wigan's James McCarthy.
Ferguson made reference to the matter in his press conference yesterday, which ended a media blackout that he insists had nothing to do with the reporting of his latest indiscretion but purely because United were on the receiving end of punishment it was impossible to prevent.
"It has been a tumultuous week," said Ferguson. "But we will get over it.
"Don't read too much into the fact that I withdrew my briefings for the media; that was simply because I felt that the spotlight was burning on us so brightly that the best policy at that point was least said, soonest mended.
"At that particular time I didn't think we would win the media battles, so I retreated."
Ferguson's decision did mean there was no official comment on the tackle by Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher that is set to rule United winger Nani out until after the international break and which most observers felt warranted a red card rather than the yellow Phil Dowd produced.
"I certainly reckon Jamie Carragher deserved to be sent off," said Ferguson, who branded the challenge "disgraceful" on Friday.

SAF: Carragher foul 'disgraceful'

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has branded Jamie Carragher's tackle on Nani at Anfield last weekend as "disgraceful".
Although the Manchester United manager was keen to avoid any controversy following a difficult week, he could not help himself referring to the tackle that left his star winger nursing a deep leg wound that is likely to keep him on the sidelines for another fortnight.

"It was a disgraceful tackle, we know that, but you just move on," said Ferguson.
As chief executive David Gill made his feelings known to referees' boss Mike Riley in the directors' box at Liverpool, it is fair to assume United were not in agreement with referee Phil Dowd, who deemed it a yellow card offence.
It was part of a succession of debatable decisions over the past fortnight that have reignited discussion about refereeing standards at home and abroad, with both Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, whose sides tackle each other in an FA Cup quarter-final at Old Trafford on Saturday, facing improper conduct charges over critical comments that the game's authorities believed went beyond the boundaries of acceptability.
The controversies stemmed from Wayne Rooney's attack on James McCarthy at Wigan a fortnight ago, which almost all observers felt was worthy of a red card but the Football Association were powerless to act upon once referee Mark Clattenburg confirmed he had seen the incident.
Clearly it is an irritant to Ferguson that the subject is still being discussed.
"I've nothing really to say about it," he said.
"It has been well-documented, although most of you have still been going on about Rooney and why he's not been punished and that was 11 days ago."
Of more concern to Ferguson, at least publicly, is the treatment Nani has received.
Carragher apologised for his tackle, which left the Portugal winger with a deep gash that required careful stitching in an effort to try and limit the possibility of infection.
"The wound was too wide so we sent him to the hospital to see what they could do," revealed Ferguson.
"In the end, our own doctor and the surgeon there managed to get it stitched up, which was the best news we could have got.
"The alternative would have been to wait and just let it heal.
"With an open wound, infection is obviously a big problem. We are still worried about it and we have to monitor it every day to make sure there's no moisture in it.
"If it dries up quickly, we've got a better chance.
"It is very difficult to say when he will be back but we do have a two-week break after next Saturday. He will be ready for the return after that, that's for sure."

"The decision was made following consultation with a specialist."
If he is out for four weeks he will not feature for England in the Euro 2012 qualifier against Wales later this month or the friendly against Ghana which follows it.
