Oh I also read that since Rafa came to us, he has earned over 130 Million in league placings and cup runs in his time here, where the heck would we be now without that and who (especially 'who in England at the mo') could get us that over the next 5-6 years?
[/quote]You know what. You're right. Rafa is doing a great job. Let's keep him. I mean he spends well, rarely signs a flop, has a fluid approach to tactics/substitutions etc, he's got a great record against the other top 4 teams, he struggles on with nary a penny or two to rub together, and he does all this (not to mention making us 130m) with amazing good graces, temperament, attitude. He doesn't go in for game playing, using players, press as pawns or anything like that, and most importantly he doesn't air our dirty laundry in public and do childish things like wear a tracksuit to highlight the poor sacrificial life of the 'coach'
I don't know where my heads been at, but you've certainly put me back on the straight and narrow.
DOWN WITH THE REVOLUTION! FOUR MORE YEARS!

i loved that tracksuit stunt!
rafa is pretty funny, credit where it's due. the glasses thing about the ref was another classic. he's like our version of peter mandelson.
