Rafa Watch

[Vermilion]

Why is it? I know loads of people who are. I kind of am - would've been more so a year ago maybe but plenty are. What's the big deal? I think for a lot of us he provided us with amazing memories, amazing moments and some haven't forgotten it. I know I haven't - it was ****ing *amazing* watching him for us. Any bitterness - and I was bitter/upset when he left - has long gone from my perspective. I don't hold grudges and as I get older I find football hatred - apart from anything to do with United & Ferguson - all a bit silly really.

You sent that Christmas card to Mr Chang yet ?

[Shaggy]

Yeah but Shaggy, you do really REALLY hate ManU and Fergie, not surprised you have none left to share around elsewhere

You sent that Christmas card to Mr Chang yet ?

No grudges with him either.

It's easy when you've won

I believe you.

Chelsea manager Rafa Benitez has written an open letter to the club's fans pledging to do all he can to bring success to the Stamford Bridge side.link
.............that shower of **** plastic fans don't deserve that..................

****ing lol @ that letter

I have no idea what the point of it is, doesn't seem to say anything he's not said already or addresses head on any of the (ridiculous) issues Chelsea fans seem to have, basically it just waffles for half of it then thanks them for their support... when the vast majority appear to be being the most unsupportive bunch of ****** fans in history.

exactly

Well it's far less cringeworthy than BR's open letter.

Each to their own, each to their own.

And after Fowler and Barnes, probably my favourite player for us.

agree, but.. KK? or gerrard? hmmmm

And Rush and Beardsley and many others. All fantastically great players with a special place in my heart.

The only one I used to love but I'm nonplussed about is Owen.

[Vermilion]

One question, those that say they don't mind the Chavs winning trophies or becoming great under Rafa and..er... Torres, did you feel the same about Chelsea before Rafa went there ?

Or are you now happy/indifferent to see the Chavs win because he's there ?

Or, can you honestly, Honestly i said! say nothing has changed regards your feelings towards the Chavs results ?

I can't speak for anyone else but I wouldn't be happy with Chelsea winning things. I would be happy for Rafa and Torres on a personal level but no more than that.

[Fredo]

Absolutely nothing has changed with my feelings towards Chelsea. I still hate them with a passion but still would love Rafa to succeed. Those two contradictory feelings can go together, I can tell you for sure.

oh, , of course...



f**k owen

So really, you'd be happier if Chavs don't win things ?

[dom9]

Having said that I was distinctly nonplussed for Torres when they won the CL last year. I was pretty pissed off that Chelsea won it.

Absolutely nothing has changed for me. I support Liverpool, nobody else, and while I have fond memories of Rafa that's it, he now manages one of the most inherently dislikeable teams in the league and I dislike them as much now as I have since 2004. Before that they were just funny.
