The hint is in the topic header it says: Rafa benitez updates

It does NOT say however [B]Lets all laugh at Rafa and take the p!ss out of him does it?

And for your information he has already won two trophys with Inter I dont think anyone should be laughing at that do you?

sorry, lets all laugh at our current manager, as you said you will do, hoping LFC lose, thats much better :bowdown

As long as this thread is open, half of us will be here to take the pi$$, you can go to the Roy thread and laugh when we lose if that pleases you

I think Rafa was class for us, but the last season and a half he lost the plot. We played poor football, the worst ive seen in years. We made poor signings, and the tactics were awful. I choose to lvie in the present. I think if Rafa had stayed , which he did not want to do, then Stevie and Torres would have left and we would have been in a lot of trouble. We needed a change, and we got one, and we got a manager who I rate and who needed to be given a chance with a top club. now we need the kunts gone so he can have a good board as well.

so, although I cheer for what he accomplished with us, I don't class him as some kind of deity and now hes gone i couldnt give a to$$ about Inter and I now put all my energy towards Roy, and I will not laugh when Roy loses a game

Rafa wins his first game in Serie A beating Udinese - biggest shock was Cesena beating AC Milan

Have West Ham been in CL in any years of there life or reached numerous late stages of European Comps ? Udinese are regulary in the top 6 of Serie A

I'm sure West Ham would beat Birmingham, too.

Still got criticized for that game despite narrowly winning... Were very lucky at the day and if they dont improve drasrically then they;ll probably struggle at all fronts despite having one of the best squads in Europe...

Does the bold part nullified all other teams squads or efforts?

The man can do no right. :no

wooot ?

Hes walked into the easiest job in Italian football but faces a very hard job replicating (never mind improving) the side's success ..

If you wanna translate what i say into "the man can do no right" then thats your problem...

My guess is that they're going to struggle under Benitez unless he gets back to playing their best side and doesnt try to be a smarta$s with his selection and tactics..

Thought I'd lay down the "only after 3 games?" or "the new manager needs time to adapt" play, but.....
Nah. I'm just glad Moratti doesn't make decisions base on 'guesses' or 'lucks'.

not away they wouldn't. That's why Brum haven't lost at home for over a year.

Its a hard one for me because initially i wanted Rafa to do well.
But it would be hell on here if he did really.

So am buying an AC Milan shirt this week and supporting them

I cant understand why people would not want him to do well at another club ?

He was part of some amazing times with us but it didnt work out - he had and i think still does have the club in his heart - he knew what it meant to be the boss of Liverpool and i hope he goes onto win everything and will certainly hope he beats Spurs in the CL and goes on to knock Chelsea and Man Utd out of the comp as well .

They only time i will not wish him to do well is if we played against Inter Milan or if he ever became boss of one of our rivals .

Do you know why, because people will use it as a stick to beat our new manager with.
Ciggy is already stating that Rafa has already won 2 trophies.
He has also already lost against Athletico Madrid in the super cup.
If Rafa wins things there and Roy doesnt you know that yourself and the other fans that didnt want him to go will be all 'i told you so'
That's human nature but i think if Rafa was still at Liverpool we wouldnt have got any better.
