Has Rafa Benitez lied over the fitness of Alberto Aquilani? Is it fair to label Liverpool's manager
a liar over the regularly changing estimates about the Italian's return to fitness? That is the
question being considered here.

For the last few months, this site has attacked Liverpool FC fan's group ‘Spirit if Shankly' for

George Gillett's interview with a member of ‘Spirit of Shankly' has been the hot topic of debate
this week, but did the alleged interview even take place? I'm not convinced.
Having re-read the transcript a couple of times and considered the context, I have now come to the

I retract points A and B above from the list of possibilities. Click to continue reading...
