Malcolm X

Nah, he's gone to the shop Dubai some milk.

I saw Christian Gross and Andre Agassi in that picture that is.

Lucas should have been in front of Agger, Carra and Insua not f*cking behind them. After all that is what the role of a defensive midfielder is isn't it, to shield the back four not the other way round.

Didnt really see any pressing because if he did that then Nzogbia would not have scored. It was a baffling decision by Rafa to bring him on as DH mentioned, it meant we had to completely shift our formation.

It isn't it? Oh f*ck, need to come off the prozac.

Nah I think it is you who needs the happy pills you miserable b*stard. That performance was no where near as bad as you make out.

Did you see the Wigan players flying into tackles when Aquilani had the ball?

You must have a very short living memory. You have already forgotten the days under Souness and GH but then again that part of your memory must be dead which is why you cant remember it.

You could tell Ngog was tiring or did you conveniently fail to see that. Rafa was right to swap Torres for Ngog.

He looked ok to me when he ran into the box to get on the end of Dossena's cross against Fiorentina.

To be honest the manner in which we have lost quite a few of those games had more to do with certain players forgetting how to defend or losing their marbles than Rafa's tactics or team selections. But unfortunately the nature of the game is that the buck ultimately stops with the manager.

Good call. And thanks for mentioning me, I'm feeling the love already.

I think they should just look at yours and Ant's motivational posts. That will definitely kick start a good run.

My sentiments exactly but as I said the anti-Rafa brigade will try to pin everything on Rafa's shoulders.

You think he sold them out of his own choice?

Not only the f*cker looked at the ref dreading the worst as he knew it was a penalty. He must have been f*cking delighted to see the How ard Am I Webb turn it down.

Agree, not sure what the f*ck happened. But we need to give Wigan a good spanking to make me feel slightly better.

Why the f*ck did he have to go. I am so p*ssed with us losing two outstanding players at the same time. People dont really appreciate that when criticising Rafa. We could do with Hyppia and Alonso now, we really could.

Spot on assessment. Makes Ars* Wenger's handbrake comment laughable.

"It was down to a mixture of our desire to do well and our fear of a big game that we were not ourselves in the first half. Liverpool had a great first half but we were within ourselves and playing with the handbrake on - it was different in the second half. Are we back in the title race? Mathematically, yes. Mentally - certainly." - Arsene Wenger Did you f*ck take your foot off your handbrake. You were stuck in neutral all f*cking game you c*ck. We ended up crashing to let you senile old smelly b*stard.

To be honest it is nothing for teams to be 1-0 down against us at half time. They will beat us 2-1 at full time. 3 times that has happened to us.

Good call by Wenger putting Walcott in.

I have mentioned this before and I will mention it again - that run had more to do with 'lets do it for GH' attitude than the tactics employed by GH. It is all too convenient that people are quick to compare Rafa to GH and even worse to Souness in the midst of this bad patch. I didnt see too many comparisons when we had that fantastic run last season.

You are missing the point my friend. Even if the squad Rafa inherited was not sh*t, it wasnt great either. Lets not forget that the same squad was embarrassed by both Marseille and Celtic in the Uefa Cup - was that down to GH's limitations or was it because the squad was sh*t?

More importantly we need to ask could GH have taken THAT team and won the CL with it? Abso f*cking lutely not. Never in a million years, not by the hair of my chinny chin chin. Going further, do you think GH would have gone out and bought two players, Alonso and Garcia, both of whom played a critical role in helping us win the CL? Once again, a big fat NO. So it is complete bullsh*t when people dont give Rafa the credit he deserves by saying 'it was GH's team.' If another manager took over now and won the Premiership, will the credit go to Rafa for building the squad that ultimately won the league? I doubt very much.
