Alonso's declared himself fit hasn't he?

Not heard that, but if true thats great news.

my god i didn't realise we were doing so poorly this season.

Rafa really doesn't have a clue.

Ah yes, the good old "in Rafa we trust" brigade. Why bother coming to a forum if the limit of your posting ability is to suggest that we don't know as much as much as Rafa so we have no right to question him.

I can predict your next response. "we're top of the league so all is well". Tell that to me once Manu have played this weekend.

Only a fool would be daft enough to bury their head in the sand and think all is well. Rafa is a great manager and has done a great job getting us to the top of the league, but we've not exactly been playing well have we? Manu will overtake us if they beat their next mighty opponents. They always finish well and have an easier run in than us. We have to be at our best if we are to challenge.

Ah sod it, let's all just pack up and leave it to Rafa. Nothing to discuss here folks.

At least you got there in the end..

But serously how am I supposed to not say..'but we are top of the league'? We fcuking well are and on a much smaller budget than Chelsea and the Scum and you still think you know better than Rafa.

You're entitled to your opinion like anyone on here. And I'm entitled to disagree.

what's the problem?

The problem is that there is no point whatsoever having a football forum discussing the match and our players and tactics etc if all we're gonna hear is "Rafa knows best" if anyone should dare disagree with him or criticise him. He is not infallible. That's all it says to me when folks say Rafa knows best. By all means disagree with me mate, but at least give me solid argument rather than shut up Baldy, rafa knows best.
