More Rafa rumours after Villa reality check

GOING well isn’t it? You can always tell the season is in full swing when a certain bookie stops taking bets on Rafa quitting.

As a dirty colonialist pig with a massive guilt complex, I tread lightly whenever I consider insulting any Irishman’s intelligence, but Paddy Power’s actions were tantamount to refusing free money.

Seriously, how many times has Rafa packed his bags now? It must be in double figures, and each time followed by that befuddled “who, me?” expression at the next press conference. How interesting journalists seemed to have the same €1.5 million guesstimate of our remaining transfer kitty.
