    He would have been tonight apparently, but ended up sat on the bench because Madrid have ****ed his head up.

    Only seemed to be the Chelsea players (Fabregash and Costa), maybe they wanted him out of OT and are blaming him because he is still here?

    Del bosqe is a massive Casillas fan though so I don't think it will change until Casillas retires. De gea clearly thought or was advised that being Madrid's number 1 automatically meant he would be Spain's number 1.

    I think Dave's a bit thick and is easily led. This whole saga has backfired against him for club and country.

    The best thing he can do is focus and play. Sign a contract too so this never happens again. Also sack Mended and do it publicly. He's as much to blame as anyone.

    Not yet, there are rumours that he has advised Ddg to sign a new contract with United. Let's get that done first :emoticon-0100-smile

    Let's not paint DDG as some kind of victim...had he signed a contract, even as short as two years, then none of this bullshit would have happened.

    But he is a victim, as is Navas. Madrid promised de Gea they would take him home and told Navas he could **** off, then they pulled the plug and left them both with their heads done in.

    Oh he's got to share the blame. He alone could have made the who process smoother by signing a contract with an agreement for his departure. He has been played by Madrid though. If, as we all expect, he still wants to go there, it confirms he is a bit thick.

    Nah, he has to follow the advice of the man he pays to give it, "just sit tight Dave, Madrid have promised to buy you in the summer if you don't sign a new contract, before you know it you will be back home playing for the biggest club in the world and guaranteed Spains No1 spot". That would sound good to anyone :emoticon-0100-smile

    Chelsea have now conceded 16 goals in their last 7 #BPL games, one more than they did in the whole of Mourinho's 1st season (04-05)

    Jose want's out, his interviews are more or less saying "I couldn't give a ****". Three years is his limit for some reason, I'm not sure why, maybe it's because he cant replace good players when they get older. His m.o is to take over a team at the top, add a couple of players to strengthen and win a trophy, as the original players age and drop off he seems incapable of replacing them.

    Many Dippers will tell you that Benitez's "fakht" rant was a clever and calculated way to get at Sir Alex. Gerrard disagrees.

    An extract from his autobiography...

    One time he did suffer a meltdown involving Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson. I went home from training that Friday lunchtime and switched on the TV. Rafa sat down with his usual half-smile. It looked likely to be a normal press conference, but then he reached into his pocket for a piece of paper.

    He spread it out on the table and began to read out one 'fact' after another. Rafa kept saying 'fact... fact... fact...' and I could not believe what I was hearing. I was grabbing the couch, digging my fingers into the arms, feeling embarrassed for him.

    Rafa started by saying that maybe Manchester United 'are nervous because we are at the top of the table'. I thought: 'Uh oh, what's happening here?'

    It seemed so unlike Rafa to talk in such an emotional way. You could see the anger in him. 'I want to talk about facts,' Rafa said. 'I want to be clear, I do not want to play mind games too early, although they seem to want to start. But I have seen some facts.'

    Rafa went off on a ramble about how Manchester United and 'Mr Ferguson' had not been properly punished for various misdemeanours. He listed dates and incidents and concluded that 'Mr Ferguson is the only manager in the league that cannot be punished for these things'.

    He then railed against the fixture list and the timing of matches being skewed in United's favour. Rafa was sounding muddled and bitter and paranoid. He was humiliating himself. It was a disaster. I couldn't understand Rafa's thinking in wanting to take on Ferguson, a master of mind games, when we were sitting so calmly on top of the table early into a new year.

    When I met up with England all the Manchester United players told me Fergie was just laughing at Rafa, saying: 'I've got him. I've got him.'

    I remember at the time many Liverpool fans thinking the argument was all about whether Rafa was right or wrong. They COMPLETELY missed the point. It didn't matter whether he was right or wrong. What mattered was he'd lost the plot. That's all that was needed. And the rest as they say is history.

    BTW Gerrrard should take a good look at himself. Pretty sure that same week he was beating the cr@p out of a bar man and getting himself arrested.

    I've just heard Micky Quinn on the radio saying Klopp loves Liverpool and is a Liverpool fan. Why the fck do they keep convincing themselves of this nonsense - building ppl who have zero association to the club as having some love for LFC which usually turns out to be complete rubbish.
