A mate of mine's mom came to watch a cup final my team was involved in. We lost 2-1 to a dodgy as f*** last minute penalty. My mate chased after the ref at FT and had to be stopped from decking him. The mom took exception to her son's behavior and humiliated him in front of the entire team for using "bad language to the referee". My friend was 25 at the time
How good is James McCarthy at protecting the defence? Not seen enough of him tbh. Is he a massive upgrade on Colback? Pretty sure he's an upgrade alright, but is he likely to make a big difference in comparison to the talentless ginger Screech? Or is he just much of a muchness?
Ultimately Rafa knows there are no guarantees until it's a mathematical reality, and I believe he will be incessantly drilling this into the players' heads as a collapse now could be a monumental disaster for us as a top class football club.
