So fat sam doesn't care what Rafa thinks about what he does, but then..........

“That will get him moaning about me again, but I am not bothered. He even went as far as putting a DVD together and sending it to Keith Hackett. He doesn’t know I know that, but I do. He has a bee in his bonnet.
“He is entitled to have his opinion as everyone else is and it’s nice to have someone complaining about you when you are beating them. It’s not about me or him though. It’s about my players going to Anfield and playing good football.
So he doesn't care what Rafa thinks about him, but yet he wants us to know he knows what Rafa did
And he spent quite a bit of time talking about past encounters, the style issue etc.He's not a top manager, never will be. He's one who can produce a workmanlike team that can sit midtable, pretend like they can challenge for Europe - yes, back in the day Bolton fans were talking up their CL chances, comparing their best team with our's and even putting combined XI's with more of their cr ap in it than Liverpool players. One cretin even put RIVALDO in the Bolton line-up, he hadn't signed for them and never did. Irony of irony they didn't rate Diouf, until they signed him that is. But fat sam is a lot like the leprechaun at villa, even with resources he resorts to the only way of playing he knows and any spending is wasted because he knows no way of using skilled players in his formations and tactics. villa are a little bit higher than Leicester used to be under the leprechaun, play not too disimilar football at times and consider the extra money he's spent at villa they should be nailed on certs for 4th IF he were that good a manager - especially given the way we've played this season, spudz their usual inconsistent selves and citeh no closer to securing that spot than the rest.
Bring it on fat sam, as for a"bee in his bonnet", I find that ironic given how he wound himself up over what he construed as a disrespectful gesture
May be Everton could do with him
