He has been improving all season and has played well in the last two games, its a pity some can't or more likely won't recognise this.

I dont get how you manage to think its a reasonable possibility that the current owners will find the money needed to pay off Rafa, pay off Inter and give Mourinho the transfer kitty he would demand. When they have proved the opposite over the last 18 months and are going to have to re-finance their loan in the summer, which will include a significant capital repayment. Logically it is anything but a reasonable possibility that they will come up with the money required to get a top rated manager like Mourinho. Obviously if they sold the club it becomes a different proposition but there is nothing to suggest that is going to happen either.

I am getting the feeling that Ancelotti is becomeing the new Scolari at Chelsea. They both had a good start to their first season in charge and were hailed as the answer for Chelsea but like Scolari last year, Ancelotti is seeing his side underperforming and having poor results. I suppose the only difference is the fact no other side seems capable of taking full advanyage of the points they are dropping, whcih may turn out to be his saving grace. The other bit of deja vu* is the fact, that just like last season the Mancs are somehow still in the title race despite having had a poor trot themselves and being a fairly ordinary side. The only difference is, this season its Chelsea drawing all the games rather than us. I'm hoping they don't go on and win the title like they did last year but unforntuately I have a feeling they will.

Gerrard - For the goal Insua - Great cross Yossi - Just nips in ahead of Lucas because of his goal. Thought Aqualini's debut went ok, its difficult because of the length of time he has been out. Think we saw enough to be reasonably confident he will make a positive difference.

Oh, so really they don't mean it unless they go into great detail and repeat it at every opportunity in just about every thread?

The only one being defensive is you, I'm not sure what you think I am being defensive about.

Thats is quite simply a load of rubbish and wrong. Just because some posters on here support Rafa and have a different opinion to you and the others you mentioned, doesn't mean they don't criticise Rafa. In fact i think just about everyone has agreed that he has made mistakes but don't go on and on about it, repeating themselves endlessly.

What apart from answering the fact you and others had been incorrectly raising the issue of them not having said anytihng in the press? Obvious really, perhaps you are having a problem understanding.

We heard from both Carra and Gerrard twice last week, disgraceful that another senior player is allowed to give a rallying call .

I cant believe anyone who has that type of money is going to be stupid enough to invest it for 25% of the club and have to work with those two muppets.

I suggest you go and watch another sport, I just hope you understand that one better than you do football, Idiot.
