How about David Moyes? He would probably get shot though.

Yep, the team with more goals in the league than any other team bores me to death. Chelsea is the best team defensively at the moment though, having conceded only 20 goals. Liverpool have pulled off so many wins against all odds this year, I think it's certainly possible. I won't count on it, but wouldn't be totally shocked if Liverpool could pull it off. If we don't make it past Chelsea, but put up 6 wins in 6 games in the league, EVEN IF United don't falter, that is a testament to the resillience of a team under Rafa.
Benitez good buys go beyond Torres. You have to include Pepe Reina, Xabi Alonso, Daniel Agger (he hasn't been using him to be fair, but the defenders he's been playing have been great). The owners wouldn't give him Barry, so he picks up Riera, who has done admirably, and been downright awesome some games. Let's not forget Martin Skrtel, who's been part of a pretty solid defense. Another signing seemingly set to sit on the bench a lot, and he's been playing great. Also, have you watched Yossi Benayoun lately? Another Rafa signing, and he's probably playing the best he's ever played in his life.
Alex Ferguson does let his personal feelings get in the way. He publicly criticizes officials, schedule makers, everything he possibly can. He simply doesn't get disciplined for it. Rafa didn't get discplined for talking of the FA giving Ferguson a free pass, because he broke no rules, and said nothing that wasn't true. You know what happened when Liverpool went into Old Trafford? Fans of United had huge banners with Benitez, with messages claiming he's gone off the deep end. I'm not sure about you, but I think that got into some people's heads. No thanks to Roy Keane, or Moyes.
