Rafa's dossier on Sir could double as his suicide note
So, Rafa, let's review the last few days shall we? Dealing, as you prefer to do, in facts (Bung unfolds A4 sheet of paper and clears throat....)
Rafa: United put pressure on referees at Old Trafford and all the decisions go their way.
Fact: United have perfectly good goal disallowed when assistant referee chooses to make up rule about need to inform him about corner kick plans. (Supplementary question to that linesman - what the hell do you think Rooney would be doing over there if he WASN'T taking the corner? Blowing his nose on the flag?)
Rafa: United are nervous.
Fact: United produce most emphatic display of the season in their biggest game of the season. United are now 8/11 to win the title, the shortest they have been all season.
Rafa: Attacking Mr Ferguson will not affect my team or put more pressure on my players.
Fact: Liverpool fail to beat Stoke, the first time they have not won away against so-called inferior (non Big Four) opposition since November 1.
Rafa: "We know what kind of player Robbie Keane is. He needs people around him to pass the ball well. I believe he will be OK"
Fact: Keane, who at £20.3 million cost more than Stoke's entire first team, was left on the bench despite the 0-0 scoreline as Benitez chose to make only two substitutions.

THE HEADLINES THIS HOUR
Kevin Davies has accused Arsenal's players of screaming every time they are tackled. "It's embarrassing. A few easy free-kicks were given because they let out a big scream" growled Kev, while picking bits of Gael Clichy's shin bone out of his studs.
Harry Redknapp has been honoured by the Football Writers' Association after taking two points from his last five games at Tottenham. 'Arry now has a worse record than Juande Ramos after his first 20 games in charge. He has blamed Spurs' problems on the previous regime signing too many small players. Redknapp's first signing: Jermain Defoe.
Has Roman Abramovich lost interest in Chelsea? Well, I guess it's all relative. Even if Rom got his mate to text him the score yesterday, that'd still count as showing more interest than Chelsea's players did...
And Fulham are planning to improve their facilities after the postponement of their game against Blackburn cost them £100,000. Good to see that it's lost revenue, and not the scandalous treatment of Blackburn fans, or the humiliating fact that neighbouring QPR were still able to stage a match on Saturday, which caused Fulham to act.
this is the funniest stuff i've seen today.. ![]()
