Rafa Watch

[Lecter]

i just get the feeling last season was a one off with everything nearly falling into place - hope I'm wrong

The stars definitely aligned for us last season

Suarez on fire, Sturridge being fit for more than 30% of our games and us scoring ****loads from set pieces

Whilst we are reminiscing, (well I am).

'Our Rafa'- Tribute to Rafa Benitez - YouTube

I miss that soooooo much! We were rated, teams feared us and not just because of our name and history, but because of how who we bought played and how we were managed.

Then again, i wanted him sacked when we lost to Burnley in the cup! (only for about 10 mins, i calmed down by then.)

My mind was still trying to comprehend what Traore was doing. It remains one of mankind's greatest questions.

Think he choose the wrong moment for some fancy footwork.

But then that's the confidence Rafa can inspire into players, even ones like CL winning Traore.

Blew it. Surprise 4-2 defeat to Empoli last night.

Needs to win EL to salvage something from this season.

Some people only remember negatives. Human nature I guess.

Number one ranked team in Europe.

Beating Barca and Madrid along the way.

Loads of postives and great memories.

Decent win yesterday against Milan, though it needed a quick succession of goals in the 2nd half.
Keeps 3rd within spitting distance, but its probably too late - though I think he has Lazio at home last day so could be interesting yet.

Looks like the banner was right, Rafa might be IN !!!!!




Quids in, that is.

Benitez to accept four-year deal
By Football Italia staff

There are reports Rafa Benitez has given the basic all-clear to sign a four-year contract with Napoli.

The Coach’s current deal is set to expire in June and he refused to decide about his future until seeing their business plan.

According to news agency ANSA this evening, agent Manuel Garcia Quillon is flying in on Thursday for talks with President Aurelio De Laurentiis.

It is claimed Benitez said he’s willing to accept a four-year contract with a long-term project for development including the stadium and training ground.

His wages would also increase from the current €3.5m per year to €4m.

His teams have a habit of doing that against Milan

The 'Rafa in' shouts are frankly downright strange.

There aren't any on here, only you're mentioning it. Please don't, unless you'd like a week off.

The reason why there aren't any on there, is because you ban anyone with a different opinion you meat curtain.

That thread is hilarious, you get caned if you forget charity shields etc in his honours list, every other post is what a great manager he is but they then act like getting Chelsea top 3 or Napoli top 3 is some sort of managerial miracle and you are hounded out if you show actual respect towards our CURRENT manager!! It's really, really bizarre. If they win well tonight I think some of them will die of a heart attack such will be the emotion. I think a lot on there would take a Napoli Europa win over LFC getting top 4. No doubt about that.

Doesn't that contradict the above? Never been on that place, thank ****.

TBH there are times when I think a total Rafa ban would be a good thing.
