I just had a quick scan on RAWK to see how they're coping. There are plenty of hysterical posts but also some really balanced and thoughtful ones which would probably speak for most of us, such as this:
I love Rafa, but I hope to fck we smash Chelsea next time we play them.
I wept over the Rafa portrait I have next to my bed when I heard the news. After going for a long walk I realized that Rafa is just doing what is best for him and forgave him in my heart.
However, I will shed no more tears for Rafa Benitez, he is now the enemy in spite of any deep passion I may feel for him.
