I can't deny Rafa is taking the píss here and it seems it's against the other manager.

But it's a very mild taking the píss, that gesture of faked naivity shrugging is meant here not to humilliate, but to take the píss mildly. And it's often the result of a mutual interchange of words or gestures.

When Rafa gets serious and makes the "it's over" gesture then that's a bit of "have that". And then Rafa comes back to his normal robot emotionless mode.

So I can't see any humilliation here.

I can't understand Sam's words about trying to do what Chelsea did to us. That's very humilliating thing to say about yourself

I'm a bit confused by the gesture as I don't quite see how it's taking the . I mean is he looking at Fat Sam as he's going it? Seems to me he's looking towards Torres and the other lads. Anyway it's certainly nothing like Maureen putting his finger to his lips.

If anyone has Sky+ it have a look as they shake hands - it seems Rafa has a little say and fecks off down the tunnel
leaving Hiddink saying something back.

I've watched that quite a few times Effes.

At the start it looks like quite a respectful hand-shake then Rafa says something and walks off with Hiddink craning his neck to shout something in reply - it looked like they were having words then. Not entirely clear though.

You think maybe Hiddink was giving him encouragment that he can win the league and maybe saying something posative?

Hiddink shouts back down the tunnel : "Mind you dont trip over Drogba, he'll probably be laid on the floor!!"

he probably landed just off of the tunnel, but rolled himself back on again

Rafa was actually doing it to one of the players, and they where ignoring him then we scored, it was like oh well they dont listen.

For years Ferguson was best buddies with Houllier. Liverpool were not a target of his big mouth. Now we are.
