Post match - Marseille

[Red_Al_77]

Could've been 5 closer though mate. Arsenal, United and Chelsea arent going to drop points that frequently, so when they do, we have to take advantage. Otherwise, we wont win the title.

I know, and Chelsea have been the big winners recently. However if we beat Manure then that will be a big statement to the rest. Sunday will prove whether we have what it takes. We have two players on fire at the moment so Manure should really be put away.

Put me on ignore harvey.

You and the head in the sand mob are tiresome to me, but that's life.

So if you dont like me expressing my view and replying, put me on ignore. I sure wont miss your interaction with me.

not as tiresome as the IKMTRB brigade ( i know more than rafa brigade )

[Craig_H]

who the **** cares.

we were strolling the game, it wasnt hard on the players. Gerrard gets all sooky when he is subbed anyway.

just enjoy the win and stop ****ing whinging

Sorry, but i DO care about us dropping stupid points at reading. Maybe you dont.

You're missing the point, which isnt surprising for a RCDNW sheep...

He took off Torres and Gerrard at Reading, to keep them fresh for an important game (tongiht's)...

Tonight, the game was won at 3-0 - and the next game is an important one...yet, he doesnt take them off early enough (or at all, in SG's case).

So the philosophy he used at Reading, clearly isnt THAT important to him, as he ditched it tonight.

Absolutely bizarre and defying all sense. DOES he believe in keeping players fresh or doesnt he??

All true.

Tonight confirmed it for me.

Winning the European cup is more valuable than winning the league.

And people accept this?

Most on this thread seem to. Sad, just sad.

[Craig_H]

Money makes the world go around.

3 points at reading on saturday, or 10 million pounds riding on tonites game?

No brainer.

Hate to be radical, but how about both?

And aside from that, it still doesnt explain why he didnt 'protect' torres and gerrard when it went 3-0 tonight.

[desertscouser]

Reading too much into insignificant details..

Before the game, I'm sure that Rafa said something about concentrating on the Manure and then "hopefully" Chelsea and Portsmouth (I think that's what he said...) Rafa hinting at his position or just being playful?

Also, both Stevie and Carra said that they were ignoring the friction between manager and owners and getting on with it, but neither said anything to support Rafa... not wanting to take sides or not wanting to side with the guy who could be on his way out?

I have a nasty feeling something stupid is going to happen. Rafa is such a poker-playing brinkmanship merchant.

Bring on The Scum. Torres is The Light and we are like moths to his brilliant flame.

Let's beat United on Sunday and then Rafa can go into the meeting with our owners with a strong hand. It really would take a complet ****** to sack Rafa at this stage of the season. The time to look at his performance as manager is at the end of the season and not halfway though while we're still in with a shout for all the major trophies. This isn't GH we're talking about here, who was clueless and should've been sacked well before he was, this is a manager who's actually having a reasonably good season so far.

The Americans are surely brighter than alot on here give them credit for.

[Craig_H]

WOW you have won me over your constant digs at rafa and his ways. U have persuaded me that Rafa doesnt have a clue what he is doing, doesnt have any sort of game plan and doesnt think ahead lets sack him and appoint you.....as you clealry have a better understanding of the game and under your stewardship i am sure we would romp to the title.

Im summary i dont understand your agenda

Answer the point...

If the philosophy is to protect players for the important upcoming game (as it was at reading), why was it different tonight?

You're a miserble **** arn't you.

Its a shame that cunts like you actually get to go to games. First sign of trouble and its boo ****ing hoo, throw all the toys out the pram time.

Win a crucial game for our season and you're still bleeting on about a mistake Rafa made 4 ****ing days ago.

get over yourself mate.

So what would you take, three points against Reading or to keep Mascherano?

If we had lost today then Rafa would probably not been allowed to sign Masch.

He couldn't take any chances at all because of things like this. You can't only look at what happening on the pitch, you must look what happens off it to.

You'll notice nobody is giving you a cognizant explanation to that question.

The funny thing is, the perfectionism i sometimes have is the same as Rafa - he's a perfectionist too, when players come off, even if they've had a blinder, Rafa's there telling them where they went wrong.

I'm chuffed with tonight, it was a perfect performance away from home. Sublime in fact.

That doesnt stop me thinking about the Man Utd game and desperately wanting to win that. I want our chances to be as high as possible.

Maybe you dont.

Maybe it's good that i get to go to the games, because at least it's obvious that i'm pissed off when we lose...others seem not to be fussed...and have a go at those of us who are. Surreal.

[Craig_H]

I wasnt expecting them to.

[Red_Al_77]

Why do people have to use personal abuse to counter an argument? Can never understand that.

[AFII]

Maybe you should read the thread again then you will find that he got an answer but don't botter, keep on moaning instead

[Harv]

Sorry, but i DO care about us dropping stupid points at reading. Maybe you dont.

ah, did i say i didnt care about losing points against Reading? No.

I was't bothered about Stevie not being subbed tonight.

I was just as pissed off as everybody else by losing to Reading.

But **** happens, we get on with things.

We did a brilliant job tonight.
