Studs Up

Everyone know’s he’s cracking up, but I think that phrase doesn’t quite encapsulate how complete his descent into delusion is.

After complaining about Stoke playing defensively, then complaining about how Everton played defensively, here’s a shocking set of quotes after he drew his third consecutive league match since his anti-Ferguson Rant. Oh, and United picked up maximum points in that time.

“I am disappointed with a number of things but no, the Wigan approach I will not talk about them.

“It has happened in the last three games. They have something in common I don’t like. I know why but I cannot say anything.

“The players were okay. They were working very hard in the first half but the second half changed because it was crazy.

“I was talking with my players about what to do on the pitch but there are things that you cannot control.

Disappointed with the Wigan approach? He knows why but won’t say? Is it because he’s said it about every other team he’s played recently?

Every top team faces the same 10-behind-the-ball treatment. Ferguson has been dealing with it since before Rafa was coaching Real Madrid’s 3rd youth team. So no sympathy there, bub. And then he goes all Redknapp on his players by saying he told them what to do, but they just didn’t do it?

Not sure if this is all part of the world’s worst contract negotiation or something, but someone should tell Rafa that you’re meant to make yourself in-dispensable.
