yes - saw it the same way.

No you're remembering it right pretty much.

The first one I believe the lad in question was telling the truth. he said he didn't want to work in two countries at the same time to a jorunalist from one of them - tarring them with the same brush - xenophobic. he doesn't want to work in those countries agains because they don't like him and he has taken against them all on principle. he was the one who mentioned the nationalities - not me. We're not actually three point above anybody, so you're last point is just dumb.

Very good - definitely one of the better efforts!

yep - those are the ones - plus a few bits one of our Swiss friends told me about.

No - I was referring to his tales of how Italy was full of people giving you the finger as they come out of church, bricking buses, being a malevolent bunch all round etc (see further back in the thread for more by others). Rafa wouldn't say 'I'll never come back to England', despite all the crap he's had - in fact, he's said he will be back, and England is his home. he wouldn't lay the fault of one pushy journalist at the feet of an entire nation 9or even two) - that's xenophobic - blaming a perceived personal fault or afront on a national or racial characteristic. He's a bouffanted, sloppy-jowelled c**t with a neat line in Margaret Rutherford imprssions. I'll take a long term view - we're f**ked if he stays more than a few weeks more.

I want to see if I can peel him all in one big, baggy piece.

he's made me ill - I want to go to bed and have an angry shag - Hodgson's Nymphoma...

Possibly so, yes. We'll have to see what's going on when it happens...all a bit second guessing at the mo.

At Anfield: RH To journalist who asked tricky question: 'Where are you from, Denmark?' Journo: 'Norway actually' RH ' Norway and Denmark - two countries I never want to work in again' - storms off. That's the latest substantiated one - he's said less lovely and warm things aboy the italians too.

Personally I think it's starkly illustrative of how the media afford British managers an easy ride.

Considering how much time he spent in the lofty leagues of Scandiwegia, it's been an eye opener how much he is thoroughly disliked there.
