Benitez sticks two fingers up to the press
… and chooses the same team two games running. The 100 not out headlines were all prepared for tomorrow, the copy written. The national journalists might have to put a bit of effort into it now.
And waiting until Noel White resigns before naming an unchanged side shows an immaculate sense of both timing and occasion. Good on you Rafa!

While taking every game 100% seriously like the pro that he is, I’m sure he’s had a chuckle to himself about that!
Well in Rafa.

Brilliant, just brilliant Rafa. I have always thought he has a very good sense of humour. Well done!

Think this was smart thinking by Rafa. It’s taken away the rolling count of matches that the press was starting to obsess on. Wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t make it another 99 on the trot though.
