Not too frustrating Sabes, I'm over the frustration myself now. I used to get frustrated with the real staunch Rafa supporters as they wouldn't listen to any type of sensible reasoning, but not so much anymore. I think the argument is probably just about over, certainly as far as the league is concerned anyway and you're only left with the real die hards who believe that one day, Rafa-style will work for us.

The real problem is of course that we don't just rotate the players, the positions and the formations but that we rotate our results as well, as in 1-2 at Home to Barnsley, three days later 2-0 at Home to Inter. Nothing to do with rotation though I wouldn't have thought, although Rafa seems to be alluding to the fact the players were fresher against Inter I said earlier it was only a matter of time before somebody said it was all down to rotation. I was joking of course and I certainly didn't expect it would be Rafa but he is full of surprises I'll give him that 

one day... rafa style WILL work for us... 

on a more serious note... the team put out against Barnsley should've thrashed them...

I really baffles me why we do so well in europe and not in the league...it's the same rafa, it's the same tactics, it's the same players... the argument that rafa intentionally gives the CL priority is bollox.... so why? it must come down to motivation... why do our players look so lacklustre in the league? it's the mentality... i dont' know which group of players to blame... the rotated? the core? the foreign? the local? but i'm pretty sure there's something wrong about the player's mentality... it seems like we dont' have a winning mentality in the league but we do in europe...

Although i wish i had inside info, or sources.
Its driving us all slowly mad and feels like we are stuck in a sort of limbo until this deal is concluded.

I don't think the fact that they didn't attend the Inter game has anything to do with in all honesty. I think that would more than likely be down to them knowing that if they show their faces at Anfield anytime soon they'll more than likely end up being strung up outside the Kop by a baying mob!!!

The Arabs have agreed a deal, I am not sure of the exact details, but something about the finances being put up by the royal family. Not sure if this is instead of or as well as the DIC."

I don't know anything about Cowtownred apart from he is supposedly reliable, but if Elisha Scott is saying its a done deal, it done and dusted and time to get the party hats out

Bloody hell, how old is Elisha Scott these days?? 

In seriousness I do trust you Saint so if you're happy  with this source then I'm happy

the reason klinsman was linked with the job is cos they asked gerrard and carra who they wanted and they are still pals with hamman, hamman said "get klinsman - hes ace"

I may as well post this now, I heard it a few weeks back but because of all the cr@p going around, I only told Leon at the time. Now it looks like its coming out anyway. It is probably B0llocks anyway!!!!

Thanks Leon, but just so you know.....you arn't going to like it.

He told me that the deal to take Rafa to Milan is done and dusted. Rafa has been talking to a few Liverpool players about going with him. In particular REINA, ALONSO, Mascherano and Agger. Which is where the story about the dressing room bust up came in.

Rafa has also been accused by Parry of being more interested in getting his £6million pay off than doing the right thing for the club, and of trying to manipulate things so he could leave for his new club with the money as well.

Gerrard and Carra were supposedly fuming when they found out what had been going on and spoke to Moores or Parry, and were told that everything will be sorted out in the next few weeks . This meeting was supposedly a couple of weeks go. So should be anytime now.

The Milan manager is supposedly taking over at Barca, not Mourinho.

The so called big argument was because Gerrard and Carra were arguing with Alonso about Rafa, Reina stepped in and they all almost came to blows.

I was told "it was gospel not gossip"

First I heard about it was someone on here mentioned that Rafa was going to Milan. So I had a look around the sites etc and it was on a Chelsea site about it.(I posted it somewhere) I then asked my mate who told me the rest.

Hopefully all b0llocks mate.
