Rafael Benitez.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Far too thin, and frightenly close to a bit of finger rubbing action.

Maybe he was just blessing Gerrard that time.

[stringvest]

they've painted out the phone he was just about to dial Inter on to ask for a job just after he'd signed his 5 year deal at Liverpool.

Rafa blunder as a napoli player on loan to genoa equalises against napoli.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

15 points adrift, out the champions league, although a massive improvement on his absolute catastrophy at Inter, his failings are still there for all to see.

He left LFC almost four years ago, let it go, man!

I think it'd be great if someone could start a thread for anyone who wants to follow Napoli.  They could call it, like, "The Napoli Thread" or something...

[Jairzinho]

Comfortably in a Champions League position six points ahead of Fiorentina, good chance of winning a European trophy, and in the final of the Italian Cup.

 

Handily placed.

[Pureblood]

I love our Rafa.

[stringvest]

He loves you too.

[Jairzinho]

He loves you too.

 

He even loves you.

[Pureblood]

Steady on.

[Kevin D]

He left LFC almost four years ago, let it go, man!

 

He's still trying to destroy this club. 

 

 

 

 

Three days after this secret meeting at an undisclosed location, Monk's Swansea side scored 3 goals at Anfield. With all due to respect to Monk, he is no tactical genius so why did his team appear to be so good? It's an incontestable fact that Rafael Benitez signed Martin Skrtel, Daniel Agger and Glen Johnson and all 3 were at fault for a goal, somehow or another. When was the last time Liverpool conceded 3 goals at Anfield in a league match? Well, it was it was in 2009. Try and guess who was manager?

 

Rafael Benitez

 

 

What is he up to this time?

[stringvest]

nah, he's moved on.  He's got other clubs in his evil sights now.

[Kevin D]

What if I had evidence that Monk will be boarding a secret flight to Naples to meet up with Benitez for the second time a week? Would you think he's "moved on" then, eh?

[Jairzinho]

I wouldn't be surprised if Benitez had fixed the Europa League draw. We paid him enough money to afford it.

It's amazing Rafa still has his critics amongst our fans. He may not be perfect and he couldn't deliver us the title but his era at the club is something we should savour, we may not see the likes of it again. Being the dominant force in Europe - unbelievable considering the clubs we were competing with. It was like a throwback to the late 70's/early 80's when we were the number one club in Europe, I loved it. And now we have more and more of these moneybags club that will dominate Europe, it's unlikely we'll be able to replicate the Rafa era again for many years. Very grateful that we were able to have such great moments in Europe with Rafa, a great man.

[moof]

I wouldn't have said we were the dominant force in Europe under Rafa

[Lee909]

I like Rafa but agree with Moof.

We were contenders each year but not dominant. Too much placed in the brief UEFA rankings.

Some people are horrible fucking cunts.

Maybe getting carried away but we were a force to be reckoned with in Europe again. 2 finals, a semi finals and a few QFs and beat all the best sides around at the time. Magical times.

[Ted]

We're top of the league, who gives a fuck?

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Which was pretty much the point I was making in the "The Cult of Shit Coat thread".

 

Rafa calling Jose a European failure is a bit laughable when Jose has 2 Big Ears and Rafa has one.

 

I know Rafa has 2 Uefa trophies but Ol' Big Ears is the one that matters when people compare the 2.

 

Both have great records before TK gets his Rafa undies in a twist just that (as much as I hate the cunt) Jose has one over him.

[The Guest]

Some people are horrible fucking cunts.

 

Or some people, you know, have a different opinion.

[Jairzinho]

Haha.
