Rafa Watch

[Vermilion]

Just caught the end of something on Talk Spite Radio, was'nt really listening as was playing Mass Effect, but the bit i think i caught was...and it was obvioulsy the end....

"sorry if this caused any embarrassment to Rafael Benitez or his family..we will be making a donation to his nominated charity".

Anyone know about it or hear it, Rafa must have got on their case. HAHA!

Anyway, off back to my game, and what a game it is...

That **** Danny Kelly called Rafa "a nonce" ("what a nonce", he said) live on Talksport. Rafa sued him but they settled out of court and Rafa said it will all go to a local charity. Montse posted about it on Facebook the other day.

not sure any court will hear allegations made about snide remarks which refer to something that doesn't actually exist.

Ah thanks Shaggy.

What a stupid ****! Kelly is. Nice one Rafa.

What was sort of funny, was Kelly explaining that his use of the word 'nonce' was him trying to shorten his intended meaning of 'nonsensical', which is two sylables beyond his comfort zone.

As for the Football Focus interview, I was sort of uncomfortable with it. Kenny is clearly the right man for the moment, in all aspects of the position. He's far more able with the media than Rafa ever was/is.

In Kenny's book, he rates Rafa for his team briefings as being second to absolutely none. When you consider the old boot room philosophy, somehow, in some way, I'd like to see Rafa in there one day. That obviously means Rafa taking a step back in career, but funnily enough, I think that's within him. I'm sure a lot of you will disagree, too big an ego etc.

What ever you think of him, the man's an aspergers football genius, somehow, I'd like to think we could still harness that quality.

@paul_tomkins If people knew the truth about the departure of Alonso I think they would judge him differently. He'll be beck in PL soon.

@paul_tomkins His take on Hicks, Gillett & Purslow was equally enlightening. I suppose we'll have to wait for the book.

Thought it might me more than that - nothing that hadn't been leaked.

He'll do me - if/when when KK says so...

Bit weird watching that, he seems so different away from the pressures of football management and all that comes with it. Proper chilled out.

What a man.

[IN_RAFA_WE_TRUST]

Just finished watching this.
Dont know what it does to the rest of you,i end up in a right state after watching it. great/beautiful memories, great/beautiful times which i hope return soon.
Just wish i had been there, I'm sure a few of you were fortunate enough to have been there. I don't think the words i use can express just how much that day means to me and how much i wish it could just replay over n over again, one of the few great days in my life.

Thank you Rafa for all you gave to get us there and win it
Thank you to all the fans who sang You''ll Never Walk Alone and backed the team
Thank you to each one of the players who gave their all to help us win number 5
