I think the media put far too much into the 'mind games' idea, its ridiculous to be honest. Whoever won the league would have been portrayed to have won the mind games, the actual fact is its just a sideshow and if it did have any effect on the end result it can only have been minimal.
I'd say Keegan was the exception and not the rule, he was cracked.
EDIT: But I agree I don't think Rafa should have got involved, there was definite truth in what got said but who was going to back him up? The old boys club of **** British manager, some who played for him? The FA who gave in to him and bent over on request? The media who were like little sluts that loved getting treated like dirt.

Er.. Frued, Skinner, Jung et al have nothing on a football manager.
