Rafa Benitez assured in ‘positive’ meeting

[disco]

Agreed

You're listening to Revo?! He doesn't rule the internet - tell him to go **** himself

Fredo, it's no coincidence that your always involved in an argument. No offence mate, but you're just a pain in the arse.

I'm scared of him.

Houllier had a good squad when he joined us and less competitive teams to fight it out with, Rafa had to get rid of Houlliers **** players on high wages before he really had a chance to start to build his team.

No one's comparing Houllier with Rafa. That's just like comparing Cantona to Zidane

only those who took part in the Cantona thread would get this

Firstly, it costs to sack someone. Secondly, if they do sack him (which I think they will) it will be at the end of the season if he doesn't bring in a major trophy - prem, champs league.

Americans tend to choose words very carefully. one word that wasent a ringing endorsement from gillette was immediate when he spoke to the ex players the other night he said, we want rafa or hes our man for the immediate future. knowing Americans like i do, it was a calculated statement. immediate is now, long term is a vote of confidence

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

Fair enough but please don't make it as if it was a fact, because you sound like AFII when doing that.

In my view, Rafa's evaluates the risks all the time and sees the bigger picture. In terms of the grand scheme of things the match against Marseille was more important as we needed a result ... a win.

The premiership is always recoverable as there are plenty of matches still left to make up ground.

That's hard facts Niall. You can't deny that. He had to win that match and he won it.

Really?

What if we lose the league by a point?

Every league point is vital.

Or should we not bother to try and salvage something from a game at 3-1 down because we have a game in midweek?

What happened to focusing on the next game, or did Rafa take it literally during the Reading game?

[REDSCOUSER]

arguing? youve said your point now shut the **** up and move on
