The Rafa Benitez Appreciation Thread
NO STUPID ****ERS SLATE RAFA IN THIS THREAD PLEASE
Rafa has been here 3 and a half years now. In those 3 and a half years I've experienced some ****in' amazing emotions of all sorts. I'd not experienced a european cup final before Istanbul, now since Rafa's been the boss I've seen 2. TWO ****IN' EUROPEAN FINALS!!!!!!! And dont get me started on Istanbul, the only way I can describe it is, The Best Night of my Life.
We've improved tenfold with Rafa at the helm. We've signed 3 of the best players in their positions in Pepe, Alonso and Torres. He's signed Agger, Aurelio, Arbeloa, Benayoun, Mascher, Babel, Lucas and Crouch to name the best of the rest that he didn't inherit. All this and yet we only splashed the cash in one window, last summer, and that was hardly a crazy spending spree now was it.
His team has totally revamped our academy, for once in a good few years we have players to get excited about the future with. I know most wont make it, but if even one that Rafa has signed goes on to be a star for us, then surely the spaniard deserves a nice big pat on the back.
The fact of the matter is, we've got one of the best managers in the world, IMO he is the best. Yes he's ****ed up at times and yes we've heard this and that about rotation, zonal marking and other such crap, but look what it has brought us FFS, over £100 million worth of quality players, 2 euro finals and an FA cup trophy on the side.
As I said earlier, 45,000 people bothered to take a minute out of their life to show how much we wanted Rafa to stay. That was 4 or 5 weeks ago! Unbelievable to read some of the stuff that people are posting now.
I'll end this rant with praise to a man who has made me smile from ear to ear every single week and ask those of you who want him out to refrain from posting your drivel in here. This thread is to appreciate the work he's done in THREE AND A HALF YEARS. Not 2 decades like Sir Alex, not 10 years like Wenger and certainly not 100s of millions of pounds like Jose.
Thank you Rafa, I hope that at this stage in 2018 you'll still be in charge.
