Rafa Watch

[dom9]

What about Avram Grant?

No white text?

If you're talking Grant, then we might as well mention Redknapp, Curbishly, O'Neil and Phil Brown.

Wish Rafa all the success in the world at the Chavs. As much as I hate them I hate the Scum more & would rather see Rafa's Chelsea win the league...
Also if the Chavski fans aren't happy we, how about a swop - Rodgers for Rafa?

i think it'll be odd. anfield will give him massive support out of sympathy for a nice ex-manager if nothing else. which will seem a bit odd for BR no doubt.

Even Roy got a round of applause when he returned with West Brom. I'm pretty sure that Kenny didn't feel undermined.

This viewpoint is not only restrictive, it is extremely counterproductive.

That's because we didn't have fans wanting Hodgson back. We have plenty who want Rafa back.

Are you sure Dan perkins wasn't there wishing him back?

Not disputing that, but the point is that it's perfectly possible for a former manager to be applauded / cheered for what he did for us without the current manager havig to feel threatened.

Completely agree with this.

What I hate about it all is the ****ing media loving it...they don't give a **** who it is, if they see a "scandal" in a story they just ****ing hammer it to death, draining every last drop out of it.

It is really starting to put me off football, it's just becoming more and more of a circus, with every weekend, the cunts waiting for the next mole hill to make a mountain off

[Phoenix07]

Is this cretin really this dumb?

Fiorellino added: "He's said he was trying to defend his club at the time but (then Chelsea boss Jose) Mourinho was the master of that and I don't think he ever directly ridiculed supporters of another club. It's quite a thing to try to undo but an acceptance could definitely bring some people back on board. I do think he's a tough sell, though."

Our match going fans take their own flags and sing original songs. The best of their songs are 'Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea' and 'Jose Mourinho, Jose Mourinho.' They back their £50million striker by copying our flag and leaving the Shankly gates on. They can't even see past their own artificial boringness.

Why is that Trizia Fiorellino being given such a platform to spout her naive garbage? She's some 18 year old, fat irrelevance. She said the other day "We don't think Benitez is a good manager, he is a poor manager". Haha!

Thats her

[Fivex]

Utter cuntflappery.

BBC now have this picture on the main football page.

[RedProf]

So even the Beeb descend into an agenda to paint Rafa as a bad guy. From the zillions of pics they could use they choose that one. Farcical.
