That Times article was just what I didnt want to read, its alright some sensationalist rag running the story, but when someone like Oliver Kay starts giving it some credence Im f*cking worried.
Well they are saying its a rumour and are themselves calling the sources dubious .. its not time to rip each others heads off and feast on the goo inside just yet.
The NOTW seems to be the only one carrying this, everyone else is just talking about strained relations. I wont start believing paper talk till it appears in more respectable ones.
The americans were quite happy to make an official statement following Rafa's press conference, surely they have to declare their intentions one way or another when a national newspaper (even a sh*te one) makes a claim like this.
Ive just seen the press conference on the news, I wouldnt be surprised if he had already seen the statement and what he said was the result, rather than the other way around.
