Steven Gerrard's late chance at Stoke goes begging 200

A lot has been made this weekend of Rafa’s supposed ‘rant’ against Alex Ferguson.

The United apologists in the media and national press have painted pictures of Ferguson sitting back thinking ‘mission accomplished’ and celebrating another victory on the mind-games front.

Personally I don’t think so.

If Ferguson feels he has a right to do and say what he wishes then surely every other manager in Premier League has the same right?

I think the vast majority of English football agreed with every word Rafa said.
