Off Topic Jose downs Mr and Mrs Benitez

And?
She insulted him, he insulted her.
Is he not allowed because she is a woman?
Stop with the faux feminist moral standpoint, because for the most I agree with you.

He shouldnt have responded, not because it was wrong to insult her, but because he is one of the best managers in football and she is a nobody, the wife of a **** manager who will soon be out of a job, so it should have been beneath him.

 

Nothing to do with feminism It's because she has **** all to do with football (other than being a managers wife) and yes in footballing terms is a nobody......so why bother responding? As I've said all along....who cares what she thinks? Simple answer is that all those years ago Rafa must have really got under his skin and Maureen hates that fact. He's still obviously pretty damn sour about it too....bitter even

 

I really doubt Rafa has the ability to get under anyones skin mate.
The guy seems like a dunce.

Also it doesnt matter whether she has anything to do with football.
If you are a salesman, and some woman calls you a ****, are you not allowed to call her one back because she isn't a saleswoman?
I fail to see the relevance.

 

yeah, he's such a **** manager that Roman chose him to steady the bus at Chelsea and the biggest club on the planet have given him the managers job at Real.

 

More like Roman had been through almost every big name manager available.
No surprise that he has had to go full circle and start at Jose again.

Rafa did **** for us in the league, but decent in Europe. Thats always been his MO though, Rafa is a cup manager.

 

Rafa won something in his brief spell at Chelsea. Credit to him.

 

have always given him credit for that to be honest.
Even if it was the Europa League

 

And despite all the hostility he received from a bunch of classless fans.

He and Ancelotti are the only elements of class Chelsea FC have ever had.

 

Won Europa and got Chelsea in top 4. For an interim position, job well done.

 

Irrelevant comparing Jose to a salesman and you know it....however I'd have much more respect for the salesman who turns the other cheek knowing he's a bloody good salesman whatever any mad woman shouts at him. He's a top level football manager who knows every word he utters will be in the national press. He has a record that speaks louder than the sort of drivel that comes out of his mouth sometimes. My point still stands....why even bother responding to another managers wife? Who cares what she says especially when it was such a barmy thing to say anyway? Why does Jose feel the need to defend his corner from the words of her?

Of course it matters whether she's involved in football....would Jose attend a press conference and address Astro's opinion of him? Or mine? Of course he wouldn't....yet he is hurt by comments made by Rafa's wife? Would he have responded to a statement from ANYONE elses wife in such a fashion? Of course he wouldn't.

 

So how come he's won LA Liga twice?

 

He was most likely asked by a journo "Have you heard the comments from Mrs Benitez?"
They love to get a rise from Jose and he spoon feeds them their headlines.
Thats why the British press love him, and he loves them back, because they have a boosting sales/boosting ego deal going on

 

2 league titles in 20 years of management......
He's a cup manager

 

British media kiss his a*se. It's why he was so quick to leave Spain and come back here because we're the only bunch of idiots that tolerate his bullsh*t.

Give it up mate

 

This.
Spanish media don't like that sensationalist bullshit.
Our media eat it up.

 

Only in your dreams bod.

 

?
Why would he be in my dreams? Cup manager or otherwise?

 

The rabid way you've rabbited on about him on the thread shows he's obviously ingrained in your head, not surprising then that he stars in your dreams.

 

This story really doesn't deserve the attention it's getting.
