Do you want Rafa back?

[The Erectile Banana]

Arsenal under Wenger have won three Prem titles, 4 FA Cups and 1 League Cup.

Yes, but they haven't won the league since the invincibles season of 2003/2004 and haven't won a trophy of any description since 2005.

Once Abramovich came in and raised the stakes they were found wanting and haven't recovered since.

A lot of people seem to have wiped the memory of last season from their minds. Boring ****e football is what we played. Ok maybe it was boring and ****e further up the pitch but it was still boring and ****e.

Good god, its happening again.

I think Bulld0g's exaggerating just a touch for effect, but then so are the inevitable counter arguments. And so it always has been, and always will be forever more until my head actually does explode it seems.

Rafa Benitez is a man of contradictions, and his career at Liverpool is probably the biggest one. I really hope for sanity's sake that our fanbase at large will oneday start accepting some shades of grey and that people actually do have some grounds for the views they hold about it, whether they personally agree or not.

That's not grey, it's an off fawn.

Rafa hater/lover.

It was boring and **** but we didn't lose two league games in a row the last seven months in the league.

We only played free flowing attacking football for 3 or 4 years under Kenny. The rest was similar to the way we played under Rafa in the last 3rd of the 08/09 season.

If we do get rid of the bodge in the summer and the best person available for the job is Rafa then i would have him back but only if there is no one better. I was one of his biggest critics last season but if its a choice of him or owen Coyle then theres only one winner.

Now that he's been sacked from Inter, is he the best man available for the job?

Perhaps it's time to bring back the "A Plea" thread?

Rafa's best football was similar to Kenny's, only good football

And gutless, don't forget gutless.

I voted Rafa despite some misgivings. Simply put, some one as passionate and as hard working as him cannot get the same things wrong forever. Roy is happy to tell the world how he has been getting it wrong for 30-odd years, because he's a simple minded fool who doesn't understand what winning really means. He has no other obsession than himself. Rafa we know is obsessed with football. Add to that the fact that he clearly loves Liverpool and the answer is as plain as the nose on your face.

And when was the last time Rafa gave us a famous victory in Turkey or away to Bolton?
