Rafael has really slotted in to the Gary Neville complete twat role at utd.
Two footed jump in against Liverpool last week, Stevie G style lunge against Spurs that only gets a yellow.Also waving imaginary cards will endear you to most fans.
For the record does anyone know if its a rule or not to get booked if you wave an imaginary card I though i had read that somewhere before but not too sure, I would have loved the ref to say to Rafael there you go theres your yellow card and hit the showers while you're at it.
I thought that asking for a card like that also meant you got one but am not sure whether that rule actually came in to effect. I can't believe Andy Gray thought Crouch challenge was the same as Rafael's....I hate Andy Gray's commentary during a match (he's OK after it as I can switch it off then) This |

pretty sure imaginary cards still come under unsporting behaviour rather than specifically being a cautionable offence so it's down to the ref's discretion

vidic was immense today (apart from getting away with pulling van de vaart's shirt in the box) and rafael is a ***** for doing the imaginary card thingy

Still not playing anything like we know we can - too many misplaced passes too much possession conceded to think otherwise
Vidic was immense though and a very bright attacking side like Tottenham rarely threatened to score
Still top of the League
Still unbeaten

There's obviously a strong case for taking Barca to win again but ...
In early 50 yrs of supporting United I've always been an optimist about their chances - even in the dark days of the 70s when Alex Stepney was our joint top goalscorer at Christmas and the original King scored that goal at Maine Rd I couldn't be miserable about our chances.
We're playing badly by all measures - our top man is struggling, the midfield is short of class and the team isn't functioning as it should but we're still in the KO stages of the CL and the FA Cup and we're top of the league.
Why shouldn't I believe?

I just can't see how any other team can win the CL. It would take Barcelona having an off day and Rooney and Co. to come up with a spot of genius. Although this is possible, neither of those things has happened yet.
Barcelona unstoppable this season IMO.

v v difficult to beat Barca over 2 legs, but can certainly happen, although they would have to underperform in 2 legs and the other team be on top form.
