"We" (as in the club) are not giving them anything, the tabloids are scenting a crisis and making it all up.

Pires: "I would like to have played more, but there you go."

Tabloid: "Pires slams Houllier's team selection."

I would argue if you say things like:

"Relationships between Gerard and certain players are strained and highly-charged."

"Gerard Houllier does not have confidence in me.  I can't understand why not, and I'm going to have a talk with him about it."

then you are giving the media plenty of material to work with.

I can understand why Gerard Houllier lacks faith in Robert Pires.

Everyone with eyes can. Well apart from Uncle Bob himself.

Last week it was Houliier apparently having a massive row with Albrighton, then somebody posts about talking to Marc's dad who said that he was really happy working with him. If people are looking for problems then they'll find them but I prefer to take it all with pinch of salt.
I don't GH has a massive row in him.

It is nice to see GH having some anger and passion. Maybe it is not so cold for him :)
