Rafa taking praise now

[sean]

that he has Gerrard well 'sussed'. Can't help but think there's a grain of truth in there. Certainly not in the top echelon when he partners Frank, but just wondering how effective England might be with a coach with his nous and courage of convictions.

Agree with Steve insofar the Premiershiup isn't nearly as good as it's made out to be. Exciting, yes. Top quality, no.

A perennial worry, this. 1996 was a damn close run thing.

Would it be so bad, John?

[matty]

Like the Murphys....

[Swipe]

So they're praising Rafa cos has sussed that SG isn't as good as everyone thinks?

 

[Tosh]

Perhaps they have realised that Rafa would have had a team out there that could have protected a draw for 15 minutes

The top 4 (maybe 6) are good, the rest are s***e.
