    What are your thoughts on Inter Milan's rapid decline under Rafa and their vast improvement since he left?

    I have no opinion on it. What is your opinion on Ron Atkinson's 3 month tenure as Athletico Madrid boss in 1988/1989?

    Couldn't care less. Firstly I would have been just 2/3 years old back then and secondly none of our fans try and make Ron Atkinson out to be an amazing manager.

    Let's put it this way then.. Rafa benitez won (with an average squad) something you have never been able to win.... ever.

    Chelsea have never won the champions league. Rafa won it with Liverpool in his first season.

    We have respect for Benitez in the same way your supporters have respect for Beckham or Roy Keane. Does this mean that we invade your board trying to get some sort of reaction? No... In fact it's ironic that during Roy Hodgson's tenure we were seen as fickle but at the same time we're seen as stupid for still having respect for Benitez! Senseless.

    This sort of wind up wasn't decent when it was started back in August and now it's just unoriginal. This is about the same level of wum as me going on to the Utd board and making a Rooney/Granny joke.

    May I suggest you go back to the Man Utd board, click on the "Kelly Brook" topic or something else which i'm sure insipres great football discussion, get together with some other Man Utd fans and come back with something either original, funny or both. Before you come back here are a few things that we've heard already

    Andy Carroll is a pikey
    NESV have no money
    Liverpool spent too much on Andy Carroll

    Now off you go son

    I was looking at a thread about Chelsea at the same time, I apologise.

    Anyway, Rafa won it in his first year with liverpool, what did Fergie win in his first year with Man U?

    Fair enough, easy mistake to make <ok>

    To be fair I rate/like Rafa, so not trying to make an argument <ok>
    I'm not a Wum, It's Berbnanidez who's trying to wind you up.

    That's nice to see :D

    Has anybody seen Rafa's recent interview on the bbc? I think it's a really good interview and certainly clears some things up. Rafa made some mistakes sure, but he was a tactician and if you look at his transfer policy it's actually really good; people just concentrate on the bad transfers.

    Rafa is a complete bell end and an utterly useless manager who blames everyone but himself.

    Would you like to produce stats to backup your claim?

    The main problems that I see in Rafa is that his lack of man management skills and lack of media interaction skills.
    He often has moments that you look at and think "if only he counted to 10 before saying/doing what he just said/did"
    No doubt that tactically he knows his stuff.

    Why don't you take a leaf out of Rafa's book and admit you're a useless wum ;)

    Keep trying but you're still way off LETTUCE for me son!
