https://twitter.com/BBCMOTD/status/921765560794234881Rafa is so right on that even Garth Crooks and Danny Mills (YES BOTH OF THEM!) see him for what he is worth - a world class manager.
I take one look at that Newcastle side and think 'worst Newcastle side I've ever seen'. And yet they're proving so hard to beat this season. What's even more surprising is that they are a very young side. I always though Rafa didn't really progress young players because of his tendency to favour players who are the complete product but he's doing well with a young squad there. I still think it'd be a struggle to finish in the top half of the table for this side but if one man's giving them a chance to claim a stake in the upper half of the league it's him.
Edit: Oh yeah - he did one over tw*t Hodgson. Remember Hodgson slinging the sh*t in his direction during his ill fated stint at the club? Rafa's response? 'He couldn't see a priest on a mountain of sugar'.
