Rafa Watch

[Fernandinho]

does anyone else accidentally say Rafa instead of roy when talking about who we should sign/play etc sometimes?

[Shaggy]

Rafa starts with a 0-0 at Bologna.

Anyone surprised?

The days of Inter being a gambler's banker, are gone.

Rafa starts with a 0-0 at Bologna.

Mourinho set his team out all wrong. Sack Mourinho!!!

Much as i like Rafa, i just do not, in all honesty, think he is a better manager than Mourinho. Just my honest viewpoint.

To be honest I don't think many will disagree with that.

I'm split on Mourinho. Sometimes I think he's a cunt, other times I'd like him here.

Similar to Bellamy when he joined us. I hated him beforehand, but once he was with us, he was our cunt. And I still like him now.

I don't think there's a lot in it. They're both top level managers.

[Kenneth]

Same here. I have my doubts about whether his time at Inter will be seen as successful.

Yep, the whole reason for my opinion that Mourinho is a better manager, is based on those games this weekend

Oh - and who said rafa is crap?

[Zapater]

Boo ****ing hoo, people I've already read some journo's and heard some people have a go at him (elsewhere), and his substitutions etc. It's ridiculous a goalless away draw against a decent team, didn't see the game myself but who cares honestly. Does anyone remember Mourinho's first game in charge of Inter? I sure as hell don't.

[lickedlollipop]

just wait and see. maybe he'll prove me wrong but ...

I took my daughter to a party, at the weekend. One of the dads came to pick his kid up, wearing this year's Inter shirt. I didn't get the chance to ask if he was a LFC fan

the reason you think he is better is that he has been able to manouvre into the right jobs at the right time.

as i have said the reason he has been able to do it is that he is a very very good manager.

i dont think there is a the best but there is a group of them and benitez is definately there

There's not a lot in it but I think Benitez edges it. His record against Mourihno in European competitions backs that up if you ask me. Mourihno's record has always been helped by having enormous spending power at his disposal, much more than what Benitez had with Valencia and Liverpool. Even now, Benitez hasn't even been able to buy, he's having to manage with the team he inherited, minus one or two players.
