They're probably talking about him Radio Merseyside as well. They could just merge the channels.

Rafa always achieves on nights like this. Amazing stuff.

Dundalk, Rafa truly is one of a kind in this competition, no question, is there anyone with a record that comes close?

Often, those Heimdallisms are wielded as it was truth, and you have to accept it as an opinion.

But then,  I see details. 2 different players, both of them key, same injury, different decissions.

* Torres was played in the premier league as soon as possible
* Gerrard hasn't been risked today in  massive game despite he was able to play.

So this is where, I think, Heimdall should come and explain this Rafalite whether not risking Gerrard today is a sign of the importance he gives to the league or not.

If he thinks it's not a signing of that at all, I'd love to know why he thinks the opposite. Based on what facts.

Wait...are you telling me that that journo had it wrong when he suggested that Gerrard was perfectly fit to play against the mini Mancs on Sunday?!?  And does that mean, by extension, that Rafa wasn't simply taking the p!ss that day by saving him for the Champions League?!?  Who would have thought?

Maybe he hasn't spoken to the press because the story only hit the headlines today and he's in Madrid AND yer might find this hard to belive but he's preparing for a MASSIVE game.

I know it's a p'isser that just when we want him to talk to the press he's outfoxed us again by concentrating on the footy   

No need to be angry Woof. The story has been doing the rounds for a number of hours now, Rafa could do a press statement via an intermediary, or he could do it himself. He finds time usually to get little statements out via his pet journalist when it suits him, so that would do...

Ballaque "I have spoken to Rafa this morning and he is laughing at the rumours. I can assure Liverpool fans they are 100% fabrication and Rafa is concentrating on tonights match"..

Not that difficult really is it.

Is this the same Ballague who was interviewed on Sky Sports in the afternoon laughing at the rumours saying it was nonsesne more or less saying what you hypothetically quoted him as saying

And the SG is fit rumour that people picked up on to have a go at Rafa

Its hard not to get angry
