Wasn't it the other Paco who did the hill thing?
I wish Rafa well. I don't expect him to stay at Chelsea for long and, like localny said, we don't have time for hating Chelsea. At the moment Chelsea and are not our direct rivals and I don't really care who out the big 3 becomes a champion. This season the teams I will be rooting against are Arsenal, Tottenham and Everton - our rivals for top 4.
Looking at the big picture, I don't see any other teams in England besides us trying to build a team that can dominate for years. Man City and Chelsea are just wasting money every year on good players and famous coaches, but as a team they will never rise above a certain level until they get serious about team-building. But that's not likely (even if one of them gets Guardiola), because they are too used to trying to solve every problem by throwing money at it. There is no new Barcelona or AC Milan emerging in England in the near future.
As for Rafa, I hope he turns Torres around (I hate to see a talent wasted) and leaves with his dignity intact. I hope he gets a good reception at Anfield. It's going to be an emotional moment for everybody.

Benitez fucked Pako off because Pako was talking to Chelsea about a job on the sly. But now he's reunited with him. Anyone who thinks the likes of Benitez and Torres are steeped in the ways of our club are deluded. Mere sound bites to ingratiate themselves with their latest 'club', paymasters and fans. They weren't born Liverpool or brought up Liverpool. He can go fuck himself. I hope you and your plastic club get fucking relegated while your new supporters boo you and boycott your games. You sold out because no one else in the footballing world wanted to give you a chance. Short of a bob or two Benitez? No. So why? Feeling unloved? Get to fuck.
Rafa would have been a great Everton manager then.
I love the way with Rafa you don't even have to interview him. You just stick a microphone in front of him and he interviews himself.
He asks very pertinent questions as well.

He does. And the ambiguity of leaving it down to 'pothibilities' is just genius.
Just to remind you that of course you followed this initial post up with "oh but I don't really hate him" only to flip-flop back around again now to "really REALLY hating" him.
I love how it's frowned upon to dig up 6 month old internet threads to highlight where someone's said something completely absurd, yet it's ok to take quotes from football managers that are 5 years old and stick them on Facebook as if they're gospel.
Hmmmm I didn't put it up on FB, nor have I bought up any Hayden Mullins quotes ... but I get it, it's Rafa.
Ferguson: Rafael Benitez lucky over Chelsea job timing: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20462178
Whiskey nose has an early pop at Benitez.
How long before Benitez cracks this time?

Bit naughty that report. I heard the full version, the context was that DiMatteo was unlucky to get the sack and Benitez may benefit from another man's misfortune. Not Benitez' fault if it happens, would've been the same for whoever took over.
I'm not so sure. I admittedly didn't hear the full version, but even in that extract Ginsoak also has a dig about when Rafa took over from Mourinho at Inter. There's a clear agenda there IMO.
No,
Another achievement. Disliked by Sir alex
It'll be interesting to see how it works out this time now that Benitez has a squad of equal depth and power.
It's nothing unusual for Ferguson to take a swipe at an opposing Manager especially if he considers him a threat.
Look at the spats he had with Wenger and Mourinho, this time around Benitez has the experience and knowledge of Ferguson's methods to be unfazed.
April 20th is when they pay us at Anfield. Taking bets on where we'll be respectively if the league. Something tells me we'll be in fifth needing a win, and Chelsea will be in 2nd, also needing a win. Our return to the CL will depend on a Rafa v Brendan tactical tussle.
Well that's that then.
Are they going to pay the whole team, or just Gerrard, to make one of his back-passes ?
que? Whats this about
So six months then.
Quite. Abramovich wants Pep for next season, and he's no doubt had to pay shedloads to another interim manager whose contract he didn't really want to extend in the first place. Rafa's got till the end of this season and no further IMO, however much he wins meanwhile.
