Rafael Benitez

[King Emlyn]

We will lose at least two, possible three more games before the season is finished is my guess.

I agree, we'll still easily surpass last seasons abysmal tally though.

[Anubis]

We're going to be in three cup finals this year?? Brilliant!! When are they?

[Code]

Thanks Frode. You've just taken a wee on my halloumi .

 

Sorry mate I'm just truing to be realistic.

 

I'm over for two of them though and I usually have a good record, so there is hope.

 

The danger is how do we respond to really having nothing to play for.

Just like yesterday, one would hope.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

we need application, concentration and dedication from now till the end of the season. Dedication, Roy Castle lived by it. And he was a record breaker.

I'm walking on with hope in my heart and a song on my lips. There are plenty of individuals in our team with plenty to play for. The manager too. I'm not expecting to see any coasting from any of them.

[Rambo]

You missed out "finishing above Everton" and "doing better next year", which are the limits of our current ambition.

 

No so much limits of ambition, more a realistic belief of the next level to be attained.

[King Emlyn]

Rambo knows.

[zigackly]

I'm not quite sure what you're both so triumphant about.

[King Emlyn]

I'm not quite sure what you're both so triumphant about.

Triumphant? You mean realistic?

[Jairzinho]

I'm not quite sure what you're both so triumphant about.

 

That Dr Peters has lowered expectations to the point where we might actually meet one of them.

[zigackly]

Triumphant? You mean realistic?

 

What was I being unrealistic about?

[King Emlyn]

What was I being unrealistic about?

That I'm triumphant

[zigackly]

Now I'm confused. What does Rambo know then?

[Rambo]

I'm not quite sure what you're both so triumphant about.

 

Why am i being triumphant?

[Rambo]

Now I'm confused. What does Rambo know then?

 

I know I've eaten too much lunch and the mrs wants to drag me to the park for a walk

[King Emlyn]

Now I'm confused. What does Rambo know then?

Lots

I think if someone had told me at the start of the season that the "next level" was to be out of all competitions in March and aspire to finishing above Everton I would have punched them in the face. I'm actually pretty pissed off about it all, and I'm wondering what's making you act so smug.

[Fugitive]

I put forward a motion for the banning of all Rafa Benitez threads from this day forth.

 

All in favour say aye...

[Rambo]

I've not acted smug at all. So at the start of the season we were reigning 8th place holders and carling cup winners, what did you think we'd achieve?

I believe improvement is finishing higher in the league with more points.

I don't believe you win the title overnight and that's not being smug, it's just my opinion. You obviously have a different opinion, good luck to you.

I think it would be harsh not to grant time to Rodger's to unpick the second half of last seasons' nosedive.

 

We will see improvement on last years' league campaign.

[King Emlyn]

Again I can only agree with Rambo. Still I'm smug like that.
