You've got to question the timing of this story, so close as it is to wed's match. Is it a. Rafa using media to gee up players to prove themselves to him. (Optimistic View) b. Chav/ManU directed media story to put us under more pressure before Benfica game (Paranoid View) c. Madrid controlled propaganda to unsettle Rafa, precipitating an early exit from Europe for us and so giving him more time to contemplate future here. (Pessimistic View) d. Rafa warning the club not to take him for granted. (General View)
