Rafa taking the piss out of reporters

[Spanishfly]

Rafa consistantly shrugs of the press' silly questions or controversial ones. Like when asked on referees now, he simply smiles and says no comment or he was faultless.

I believe this to be part of the reason the critics want him to fail.

Basically asks the media about when Cahill last scored, then says did you notice the defending being man marking and then mentions that sky didn't say anything about this.

Ha ha good one Rafa, great memory he has too!

It's because he does his job properly and has been analysing those kind of stats all the time. The reporters on Sky don't bother about checking their 'facts' when they spout their bollocks on TV.

All about the FACTS!

ha, just watched it again, Rafa knows he has the answer before the question finishes....as a little smile appears when he realises what the question is....he then doesn't tell the reporter the answer to the question about whether it's best to man mark Cahill or not.

He just asks the reporter to tell him how Cahill was marked when he scored the goal against Stoke...making the reporter answer his own question basically..."man marked"....haha.

Then just adds the bit about "there, you have your answer, and of course throws in a..... "funny how sky don't mention that eh".

They also don’t seem to mention the fact that nearly every one of Chelsea’s goals conceded have been from set-pieces, or go overboard after Everton conceded from one yesterday.

Good on Rafa

Last night I completely flipped on a late night train about the Benitez media myths ....I was totally arse-holed, shouting at the very top of my voice and over and over after two or three lads started spewing the usual bull****. I'm hoarse this morning and it's all because of that. Went berserk, the rest of the carriage (packed) must've been terrified

Chelsea use zonal marking from corners like we do - so do Man City now under Mancini - but I've never heard zonal marking as the problem in relation to goals they've conceded from corners. It's like the media - Sky in particular - have decided that zonal marking is only Rafa's barmy idea

There's a big difference between getting in to the top 4 now and being there at the end of the season. I'll not count my chickens quite yet mate

Merson's use of the words " no way " are what gets me going.

If he simply said " I dont think they'll make the top 4 " it's different IMO.

It kinda implies "I don't want them to make it" and it sounds personal more so.
