Rafa Watch

[Roboklopp]

Dion Fanning is really good. Tends to be a voice of reason in a sea of ****e.

Carra's comments are stupid- says a few thing like that which don't do him -or the club- any favours whatsoever.

[Roboklopp]

Carragher's coming across more and more like some kind of xenophobe these days.

Don't let Christopher hear you say that.

[CJ]

Pathetic

Strange that Bellamy made what is fundamentally the same point, but more eloquently, and didn't get similar accusations.

[Craig_H]

What's even more strange is that i've not commented on Bellamy's comments, which i havent seen or heard.

Really strange.

[Roboklopp]

Never heard em neither.

[Kenneth]

Really strange.

Don't be so defensive Craig, I wasn't accusing you of anything.

When he resigned he talked about how we felt more like the Liverpool he grew up with with Kent there are more British players being brought in.

[Kenneth]

Never heard em neither.

you did, you just didn't jump on them.

[Roboklopp]

you did, you just didn't jump on them.

If you remember I did, then I must be wrong- sorry.

[Craig_H]

Ah, i did actually hear those Bellamy comments. And i didnt comment on them because he didnt mention anything inane about players' wives. That'll be why then.

[Kenneth]

Which is all I was saying really. Carra is a bit thick and less eloquent. It doesn't mean he is xenophobic. Bellamy made the same point but referred to a more general point about the 'culture' of the club. Obviously this doesn't make Bellamy xenophobic either.

[Fredo]

Maybe it's the players who are behind all that 'buy British' philosophy.

Seems to me that the players have more input now to when Rafa was there.

What has kent got to do with it

Out of interest what input do they have?

[MrMichael]

Don't be silly Fredo, its not the players. What players anyway, do you mean Gerrard & Carra? God forbid 2 life servants to the club might have an opinion about anything, but I very much doubt they are dictating what players we buy.

In any case, is it so weird that with a ton of different languages and nationalities at any particular club the dressing room might get a little disjointed? So Carra says something inane about wives getting on better in some throwaway interview, footballers say inane and slightly stupid things all the time if given the chance when all he's actually trying to say is that for him, the dressing room is a more together place than it was. We're not in it, and he's perfectly entitled to his own opinion about his workplace and his relationship with his colleagues.

Which is all I was saying really. Carra is a bit thick and less eloquent. It doesn't mean he is xenophobic. Bellamy made the same point but referred to a more general point about the 'culture' of the club. Obviously this doesn't make Bellamy xenophobic either.

Absolutely.
