Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

If Rafael Benitez was in any doubt about just how much the Liverpool supporters loved him, the answer was spelled out to the Spanish boss on Tuesday night.
Benitez, in Cologne for Wednesday night's game against Bayer Leverkusen, was spotted in the team's Hyatt Hotel by a group of fans who had travelled over from Liverpool earlier in the day.
The Liverpool boss was promptly invited down to the pub for a drink to watch Tuesday night's Champions League games involving Manchester United and Chelsea and guess what? He said yes!
Inside Jameson's Irish Bar in Cologne word began to spread that Rafael Benitez was outside the pub. Inside the place was heaving with Liverpool fans and a sprinkling of German-based Chelsea and Manchester United supporters. Getting to the bar was proving harder than keeping clean sheet on any away trip this season but still the rumours that Liverpool manager was outside the pub continued.
Then, he walked in.
"It was like Jesus walking into a room!" claimed Allen Baynes, a school inspector from Kirkby who was inside the pub. "The place went absolutely mental. Rafa walked in a with a couple of fellas and as soon as he set foot in the place, Hernan Crespo headed the ball past Tim Howard and Manchester United were effectively out of the Champions League, What a moment! United as good as out and Rafa's in the same pub! It was Shankly-esque!"
As Benitez stood there, looking at what must have been 500 Liverpool fans going mad, a chant from the back started up.
It went something like this: 'The famous Rafa Benitez went the pub to see the lads and this is what he said, Who the **** are Man United? Who the **** are Man United? Who the **** are Man United when the Reds go marching on!'
The Liverpool manager looked on in awe as he saw for the first time just how passionate his team's supporters actually are.
"He looked absolutely amazed at what he was seeing," claimed Chris Brannan, a supporter from Tuebrook who had followed the Reds since they were in the second division. "He wasn't drinking like the rest of us but then he didn't need to. Imagine for a minute you're Rafael Benitez. You're a Spanish manager who doesn't know exactly what the Liverpool fans are about and there you are, walking into a pub in Germany on the back of two big defeats and suddenly you've got 500 proper lads singing your name. It was like something from Palestine. He means that much to us! Everyone, and I mean everyone, goy out a mobile phone and tried to take his picture as he stood there with us, the normal Liverpool fans, watching the Chelsea and United games on the TV.
"People talk all this rubbish about Everton being the People's Club but we've always know that was just words said to appease the Everton fans. Could you imagine Moyes, or any other manager in the world for that matter, going to the pub with the fans? No chance.
"Rafa did it on Wednesday night and as far back as I can remember, and I'm an old man, I've never heard of any manager doing something like that. Everton, The People's Club? Don't make me laugh. We are the real People's Club. Always have been, always will be."

Great post mate. Agree 100% Lets just hope that enough of us make this known on Wednesday so the owners take note.Originally posted by paulcooper4 View PostI would like to use this thread to pay tribute to our manager Rafa Benitez. We have IMO the finest manager in world football right now, certainly one of the top 3 anyway. The way he has transformed us into being one of the most feared/respected clubs in world football again in such a short space of time is remarkable.
The reason he has done this is down to many reasons, his tactical knowledge is second to none. There hasnt been a manager born yet that gets EVERY decision right, but I have never seen a manager get his tactics right as often as Rafa does. Also, he is mentally strong, he picks HIS team, not what player power or fan power dictates. He sticks with rotation, even though a million internet managers tell him its wrong, because HE BELIEVES ITS THE BEST WAY TO GET RESULTS OVER THE COURSE OF A SEASON. And judging by the fact we are generally the best team each season from november onwards this would seem to be correct. Now that we have finally had a good start to a season, god only knows how good we will be when we really kick into form in a month or so.
Finally, and most importantly, he is not too proud to admit mistakes. Morientes, Pellegrino, Kromkamp etc under a lot of managers would still be playing and still be struggling week in and week out due to the managers fear of admitting he dropped a bollock by selling them. Not with Rafa.
Finally, I would like to say a big **** OFF to some of the ballbags on this site who have been talking about getting rid of Rafa
you know who you are

This is what I plan to do, but the suggestion to sing it instead of YNWA on wed as well is a non starter in my opinion.Originally posted by Dhavlos View PostWell I'll be signing Rafa's name non-stop for 90 mins, whether anyone else joins in or not.

Understand what you're saying, but there can be no greater statement of support for Rafa than singing his name instead of YNWA.Originally posted by sonsofthedesert View Post

Emergency On-line petition to save
Liverpool FC manager Rafael Benitez
There is now an emergency on-line petition of support for Liverpool Football Club manager Rafael Benitez. This on-line petition has been set up to amass support for Rafael Benitez following reports in various newspapers and websites that his departure or sacking is imminent.
Who in their right mind would even consider sacking a manager, who in my opinion, is the most tactically astute manager in europe bar none? It is absurd and obscene, and it is imperative that every true Liverpool supporter back Rafael Benitez.
The new American owners promised when they took over OUR club, to "abide by the traditions, values and heritage of the club". The fact they are reportedly on the verge of dismissing the most revered and tactically astute manager since Bob Paisley in 1983 is nothing short than a disgrace, and proves their words and promises mean nothing, and they must not be allowed to get away with it.
Here is a man who is already a legend at Anfield following his astonishing feat of leading Liverpool to TWO Champions League finals in his 3 short seasons in charge.
To treat Rafael Benitez, a man of the utmost integrity in such a manner is disgusting and the repercussions of sacking such a manager would, again, in my opinion, make the owners position, Messrs Tom Hicks & George Gillett untenable.
Please sign the petition if you support Rafael Benitez and wish for him to remain as Liverpool Football Club's manager, and please forward this Email on to as many fellow Liverpool FC supporters as possible, thank you.
To sign the petition please click on the link below:-
This is not scare tactics, or the gutter press trying to stir up trouble, this is serious.
