If this is true it's the funniest thing I've heard for ages, I really hope the media pick this up.

Please let there be photos.
I'm sure he'll come out and defend his team-mate, very self-less like that is Steeeeevie.

He upset Carragher and Souness whom were match pundits on Sky, bells.
I feel for Mario, he really wanted Ronaldos shirt.
Remember when they threw King Kenny out?
One of 'em was interviewed on Sky saying "we should never have got Kenny in, you should never go back"
Presenter: "Who would you like then?
"Rafael."
Gift that keeps on giving.

First Adel Taarabt's waistline and then Mario Balotelli's souvenir swapping. Are they fair game for managers to bring up in the wake of defeats?
Times journalist Alyson Rudd thinks not.
"Excuses are part of the game. Referees are often blamed, as is the weather, the scheduling, the pitch, the traffic, injuries and illness. When individuals are singled out, it is an excuse too far," she writes.
"Both Balotelli and Taarabt are gifted players with chequered histories. It is the management of such players that partly defines coaching ability. If they are used as scapegoats, it says more about their bosses than about them"

Welcome back Wayne
Excellent comment, it's all about the shirt swap and ignores the abject failure of the manager and the team..........

I can already imagine the hoards of Liverpool fans fighting over who should be their manager. Brenda Apologists v. the Cult of Rafael

Yarmolenko ? Yes please
Something could be learned from the way Madrid went about their business and got into that Liverpool team. Their mentality and the way they soaked up the early bit of expected gung ho; before rolling their sleeves up and showing them how they play football for 40 minutes of the first half was nice to see.
So many teams go to the pit and start shaking with fear before they've even took to the field; teams cannot play their own game and revert to different tactics. We as Evertonians know this too damn well and teams could learn a thing or three from the way Madrid went at it with ..... we'll play our own game and you're entitled to play yours; lets see who the better team is. Yes Madrid have a better quality of player than the rest but i honestly think a good proportion of the downfall teams have going there and to other places like Stamford Bridge and The Emirates, is psychological.

You don't look at the league until around 15 games played. Means nothing right now. They might be 5th but 2 defeats in a row could see them back down into 15th.
Only once the teams have played around 15 games, do you get some kind of inkling as to where teams might finish and/or challenge.
