I think Elisha Scott = Rafa. He posted about being really annoyed about Torres' antics on Monday and lo and behold next Rafa is on about this in his press conference. Have to agree with the notion, mind.
But seriously, it's quite a stat that should we play like we did last season, we'd not lose once during the rest of the season. (unless you replace Boro away with Brum away or something) We'll win the bloody World Cup thinking like this!
Would be brilliant, Rafa signing Villa, Silva, Defour and Turner for a combined fee of £10M, as his cunning plan comes together. He could save us 40-50M by this smokescreen plan!
Speaking of rap, has the bloody waster been practising his lines all summer, when he should've been busting a gut on the training field? Don't know what else could explain his "performance" on Sunday. I've got bloody Newcastle fans laughing at him here in the office.
There's no doubt in my mind that Alonso was more important to our game than Mascherano. Although, I reckon Rafa disagrees and did already during last season. Anyway, the onus is on Aquilani and Lucas to offer something in an attacking sense, as I don't think Javier will improve that side of his game much.
There was that horrible cross where he put it about 20m from the closest teammate and he dwelled on the ball a couple of times and ended up losing it. Believe me, I was quite excited to see him come on ( ) as I don't bear a grudge against him or anything. Yesterday he was really poor though. Babel-esque.
Sometimes it seems like the fact that he gets annoyed at the opposition defenders/referee/teammates actually helps Fernando get more determined and he usually scores a couple after that as well. Yesterday he was f***ing s**** though. Also, I guess we can put this 'When Torres and Gerrard start, we'll win all our games' talk to bed for a while after yesterday's debacle.
Chelsea, Arsenal, Man U and City all win. We lose to f***ing Spurs, how I have a strong dislike for. Everton to me are almost irrelevant, so it's been the most horrible starting weekend imaginable. Let's all kill ourselves
