Just looking at our fixture list and note that we play Chelsea on Sun 21. Rafa will return.

I am pretty sure he will get a warm welcome from our fans. He is a legend. However, for posters who are regular attenders at anfield, can we expect a vocal minority being idiots and booing him? Every club has them.
 
I think it's the ones who'll be singing for him are the idiots myself
 
I was very close to buying a ticket to the game but work got in the way.

If I was there I'd definitely cheer when he's announced. He turned us into the team to beat in Europe and considering our demise since then I'm very grateful for those years.

I don't think anyone has the balls to boo him at Anfield.
 
Hes a manager of a team I wish to fail. I wish him failure there. I wish him no more success in his career, as he does not manage Liverpool.

Simply put... Fuck him.

I won't boo because it's pathetic. I'll applaud him... Maybe.

He'll get a great reception, one I myself am unconvinced he deserves.

But I know I'm in the minority
 
Rafa.. Rafael.. Rafa.. Rafael..
Rafa.. Rafael.. Rafael Benitez

Despite what anyone says, he is a club legend..

I hope the kop sing their hearts out with that.. Show them fuckers how to actually support their manager.. When we are winning of course..

Do we have song for Brendan Brent?
 
I like to think we're a bigger club than just effing a manager who achieved so much for us. of course no lfc fan wants him to win or succeed at chelsea, but by acknowledging his return you do not automatically want him to win. he'll be a red for the rest of his life - that is why chelsea fans hate him. we warmly welcomed back robbie and other former great red players (who haven't achived as much as him), managers shouldn't be different.
 
We should not be chanting the name of the opposition manager who is in charge of Chelsea. We should cheer and clap as a sign of recognition at the most, when he comes out.
 
thats a bit harsh, id applaud him, as i would any other manager if they had done the things he's done for liverpool, and im not talking about football achievements or even the club but the work he's done for the people of liverpool and his physical, financial and emotional support for the hillsborough cause. hope we win but the man deserves at least one team to sing his name that day and it sure as fuck isnt gona be the plastic twats doing it
 
He won us the Champions League - which is probably the greatest footballing night half the fans in the stadium will have ever witnessed.
He donated an unprompted amount of money to the HJC upon leaving the club.
And he was Manager of our club for an extended period of time.

If all or any of the above aren't enough to warrant the respect and admiration of the famed Anfield crowd, then football can go and fuck itself.
 
He won us the champions League? He picked a team that was three nil down inside 45 mins, a team that nobody on the fucking planet would have picked. He said fucking nothing at half time according to Carragher and made changes forced upon him, and still tried to send us out with twelve players.

If sheer idiocy and blind luck is what it takes to become a Liverpool legend, then there's never been a more deserving case.

Never mind that he robbed the club of 6 million.

I was going to give an honest reply to that, then I remembered it was you I was replying to.

You and your dangling bait.

No bite.
 
If some 'fans' can sneer at Dalglish and show him zero respect then Rafa can't hope to get a uniformly positive response, but there's no doubt he'll get a fantastic reception, and the inevitable boos that will provoke from Chelski's fans will probably see the home fans take their positivity up to an even higher level.

Ha, well you have the measure of Portly anyway.

He will get a good reception, there will be no dissenters , I will applaud him.
His heart was in the right place, I think he is a good Human being, he loves the club and the area, it's just he became a liability as a manager, the same could and probably does apply to Kenny, Houllier, Evans and to some extent Hodgson. There is no way I would want any of them back and I warned on the Kenny thing years before it actually happened.
He will actually get too good-a-reception and the crowd will feel they have to balance that with the loudest chants we have heard for Brendan
 
If I was there I'd sing his name loud and proud. Aside from anything else it would irritate the fuck out of the chav fans who journeyed up. 😉

Agreed.
 
He deserves a decent reception and I'm sure the Anfield crowd will provide.

Why would anyone boo him? That's just not going to happen.

Because it suits their agenda, which is obviously more important than winning the European Cup.
 
Didn't our fans sing for Rafa Benitez during our game against Wigan? Would be surprised if he's not given a warm welcome back at Anfield.
