rafa knows the league is over. Why is it chelsea lose there manager, lose terry, carvalho, drogba, lampard yet win games they should be winning. We have dropped so many points this season just like last year.

You've a short memory, son. Three years ago, Rafa delivered us arguably the greatest night in this clubs history. I will always remember him for it, and so long as he manages our team, he will always have my support even if is difficult to fathom at times.

I'll bet three years ago you were shouting his name about the place like he was God or something. Now all people like you do is moan because he's not making much progress in the league. NEWS FLASH: we've been struggling for 14 years in the league before he came.

Yes but that doesnt mean Rafa gets unlimitied time. This is his 4th season. How long do u wanna give him before we actually challenge for the title. All I wanted this season was to be in the race for the title. Think back to the summer and all the talk of us fighting for the title and arsenal fighting for 4th with spurs. That talk looks real stupid now.

If we finish 4th is that acceptable? Do we now see this as a success.

Even when were unbeaten I wasnt happy as the style of football was a joke. Now we are losing there is no positives.

I've maintained for a while now that we won't win the title. I've said that our goal should be getting close by at least 6 points behind the eventual winners. If this happens and we win one of the other competitions we are in, I'd see that as progress, yes. I'm not saying Rafa should have unlimited time, but he should at least be given another two more seasons if what I said previously ends up being an eventuality.

i dont like how rafa never holds his hands up and admits failure

its a pretty weak and stubborn quality

by **Woollyback** » Wed Jan 02, 2008 11:47 pm

^^ he gives those answers in every interview, regardless of how we've played or what the result was

by **holylamb2006** » Wed Jan 02, 2008 11:48 pm

we need luck and we were creating chances

He says the same thing over and over again ...

I'm actually wondering if he is a tape recorder

can u honestly see us getting within 6 points of the title winners? I cant see that at all. If we progress in the CL i can see league games being take less seriously by rafa as the title has gone.

[QUOTE How long do u wanna give him before we actually challenge for the title]

At least six years.

by **LittleHobo** » Wed Jan 02, 2008 11:49 pm

i would love him to at least come out and admit he failed today, tactics too negative and bringing 2 strikers on with 9 minutes to go was silly, too late by then

at least if you heard him admit he got it wrong it would give you a bit of confidence that he at least realises at times he drops clangers

I think it ends with a full stop, as should most of that massive sentence you just wrote also.

I presumed he'll now be focusing on training and coaching his team?

lol

Yeah it is getting tiresome hearing the same thing every other game isnt it. Ah well we only have the FA Cup and European Cup left so lets just get behind the lads for that.

When we signed Torres most of us knew that we were still 1 or 2 players away from really challanging. Its sad to say but this is the difference between us and the likes of Man Utd and Chelsea, They can kill these sort of games off without breaking a sweat where as we take our foot of the brakes as soon as were a goal up.

by **holylamb2006** » Wed Jan 02, 2008 11:51 pm

With all the poles and votes that say we want to win the PL more than the champion league ....

Rafa still in his own world thinks the champo league is more important .....

I hate his stubbornness ( cant spell )
