Trouble is some of these ex players are a little bit sucked in buy the media machine because they are paid by those papers to write this stuff. Its not the kicking of a ball that they make their living buy any more its the writing or so called lack of intelligent writing for a better word that actually makes them a crust. We are under pressure from the start because of lets face it a lot of back scene bull-shi-0t with the owners, but having said that the players we have in the squad should be more than proffesional enough to put things behind them and concentrate on the field of play rather than whats going on in the boardroom. Unfortunately I have to say Spackman does have a point when he says that the for some of the loses the managers decsions have been wrong, hell Rafa is a human being who makes mistakes like everyone else, its part of being a human being, and unfortunately the media including the press and those ex players who have critised Rafa will not leave him alone until he has won the premiership, then they may adhere to the respect train like all the media do toward Wenga and Ferguson. Unfortunaely Rafa does need to hark on his own words at this point in time, we hear week in week out from his own mouth that in order to get results "we need to work hard and improve" this is also true of the manager himself and that improvement must come from changing defensive tactics, especially on set peices. However having said that I support Rafa 100% and although some of the ex-players can critisise and have an opion of which they are entitled, they should also have the manners to show some respect to a man who has done what a lot of managers and players have not with this club. But having said that a lot of stuff written by some players is often scrutinised by their editors with even some stuff being omitted from certain articles because its not "contreversial enough" or doesnt make good reading because its not negative enough to make interesting reading.l
