Rafa Watch

[Leyton388]

I lived down south for 6 years and believe me those plastic flag waving cunts are on par with the manc ****s in my hateometer.

[Baracus]

The fact he spoke about Rafa already,first chance he got, says all you need to know.

He knows United have another credible threat for the league and he's not happy about it.

Can't wait to See Rafa's system and football brand again.

I think its gonna be bloody awesome Machine MARK 3

He knows how to utilise his squad and this squad of players is similar to Valencia

Hazard or Mata in the Aimar Role
Rafa awesome-ness

I didn't expect to open this thread and be covered in Baracus' spunk.

I think it's all playground stuff, all this "master of mind-games" is absolute balls. It means nothing. It's just posturing at press conferences, and playground mud-slinging. I'm pretty sure Rafa couldn't give a flying **** what that man says. He's so transparent anyway - he's your mate until you start beating him. Remember that patronising letter he sent to Benitez after Istanbul? LOL

Still just don't seem right. Effin hell, Rafa at Chelsea.

This is the single crumb of comfort I take from Rafa becoming Chelsea Manager.

It's dirty, unclean

Like the Chavs themselves.

you can bet your sweet soft southern asses that this Liverpool Red sees the chavs as rivals, and also hate them for the way they have whored football, megalomaniac **** owner, plastic flag waving plastic fans, racist thugs fans. im sure, given more time i could write more, but cba.

I live there.

I've lived in Mancland during my teenage years when we ruled the universe and they were in Div2 - it was still very uncomfortable.

'those plastic flag waving cunts' are/can be every bit as obnoxious as the mancs, but fekkin rich plastic flag waving cunts.

I wish Rafa the best of luck, you can't blame him for taking the job.

He hung around waiting for the LFC job to be given to him and he didn't even get a look in, ****ing disgraceful really.

I have so much respect for him, he is a great man and a decent, kind man too and he has done so much for our club and the families of the Hillsborough disaster.

It will be weird coming up against him. I just hope we as fans show him the respect he deserves and that he doesn't get jeered or booed.

He will be great for Chelsea, he really will.

If only he'd gone to Citeh! (If it was going to be a Prem team.)

Would have been so much easier to handle imo.

It's part of his game plan. He will be there at the beginning of next season

[vonk]

Hate Chelsea. Won't be wishing them any luck whatsoever. Don't blame Rafa for going there. Thankful for what he did for us, but he is the manager of our rivals now. Will not be happy if he tries to take some of our players in January. The only game I will possibly root for Chelsea is if they are playing the scum, or if a Chelsea win would somehow benefit us, Rafa or no Rafa.

If he does well at Chelsea, i think he'll stay.

Also, If he spends a while there, and wins trophies, the Chavs will come to love him, and Chelsea will become as much a part of his football history as lfc.

Who knows, maybe his best years are ahead of him, and maybe they'll be at Chelsea.

Bloody hell that sounds horrible.

So long as we're winning too, it'll be fine.

[Dhav]

I'm a London Red and don't consider Chelsea rivals at all. I'd say we were between 2005-2009 because we faced them regularly in key matches at the latter stagr of completions and the Rafa v Mourinho spat exacerbated that but since we became less competitive we've scarcely been rivals.

What you southern Reds have posted above about Chelsea is exactly how I feel as a North London Red about Arsenal. I consider them more rivals than Chelsea when you consider the 1987 League Cup final, 1989 title decider, 2001 cup final, 2008 CL quarters etc but I'm willing to bet there's few who will agree with me.

Btw Ferguson is a contemptuous old cunt and I look forward to the day he dies.

Exactly what makes me sad. I hate basically all things about Chelsea and the idea of them becoming one of Rafa's beloved clubs does not sit well at all.

1000%

[yamiedo]

No doubt Rafa,Wenger,Fergie & Mancini will all have something to say against each other this season...haha can't wait

If Mourinho & Guardiola comes into the premier league it will be brilliant, be mental!

If Mourinho & Guardiola come this league will be the undisputed best league in the world. The Spanish league will no longer even be considered.

[Daniel 7]

The Chelsea thing got all the more vociferous when they first tried to sign Gerrard.
