Rafa can fuck off if he's resting Pepe, Gerrard and Torres for the league game on sunday.

There's a European trophy to be won here and the matter of winning back a little pride for a shambolic and humiliating season.

Rafa can fuck off anyway.

Yeah but seriously he's asking for the sack if he has no genuine reason to rest 3 of our best players.

It would defy logic.

Quick question guys, have the clocks in UK been turned back yet? Just need to confirm if the match starts at 3am or 4am here. Thanks in advance!

The clocks have gone forward. It's 6.40 here, kick off is in an hour and a bit.
