I've just had a look on Ready To Groom and there isn't one NUFC thread on the first page! I'm sure us sat top and those bottom is merely just a coincidence!

A post on Red and White Kop Forum Quote from: The 92A on Yesterday at 01:45:49 PM Rafa is still loved in Liverpool because we witnessed him being stitched up by a backward looking Leauge Managers Association, that were all hanging on to the coat tales of Fergie, desperate to gain his approval by slagging of Rafa and his methods. Such beyond approach moral stalwarts as Allardyce, Moyses, and Neil Warnock tripped over themselves to see imaginary slights by Rafa and make their beefs public by running to their mates in the media. One of the most forward thinking managers in the game was reduced to a joke ridiculed as the Fat Spanish Waiter. Andy Gray and the Sky train ran away each week disecting his methods with 'Hairy Hands' Richard Keys laughing at Rafa's stupidity in the background as he tried desperately to be one of the boys. Just happens, that all the things he got slated for are now standard practice in the Premiership, Benitez was just years ahead of his time; rotation, a mix of zonal and man to man marking, 4231. Imagine being so negative as to only have one striker, eh Andy! We never did any of that negative stuff in it my day, Richard, Bang your daughters mate while you wifes got cancer but always 442 with two up top. none of this one striker foreign shite for us! Yes. Rafa got slagged for it all by backward looking football pygmies who repeated the football orthodoxies without an original thought in their heads. We were told that a team containing Xabi Alonso, Mascherano, Arbeloa, were just a one man team consisting of Steve Gerrard, Good Job Barca and Real Madrid didn't think so, Guardiola said Benitez's Liverpool were the one team he dreaded meeting and we totally played Real Madrid off the Park, winning 4-0, yet only a few weeks before, while sitting in a bar in Madrid before the first leg, we were told that back home Sky had suspended betting on Benitez being sacked by Hicks and Gillete. Absolute madness and the background he had to manage in. Newcastle fans know how destructive it is to have civil war at a club, your're lucky to avoid relagation, and yet with that pressure going on, Rafa regulary got us to Champions Leauge Semis and Quarters. We won it in 05 and two years later he got us to another Champion Leauge Final, (another bit of luck... Andy Gray) but Rafa had ambition he wanted the club to match, he wanted to sign Silva, Javi Hernandez, Aguerro and Dani Alaves while they were still relatively cheap! (he was shit at indentifying players...) but was frustrated by short sited owners who could only see a cash cow to milk. And that's not taking into account his totally getting the fans, his and Montse's love of the City, giving £96000 after he was sacked to the Hillsborough campaign groups out of his own pocket in stark contrast to the grubby money grabbing, morally outrageous instincts of some of his main detracters. Most of us loved him but there were those even amongst our fan base that heard Sky Sports Siren call and welcomed Roy 'out for myself' Hodgson indentified by the football genius that was Christian Purslow as Rafa's replacement. Not suprising many of us wish him well, we have moved on with Klopp another of the games true original thinkers who also gets us and is prepared to go against the grain but Newcastle are very lucky to have a manger of Benitez's ability and integrity, just hope that no mark, 'Zero Hours' Ashley keeps out of things in the future when Rafa's ambitions demand a bit of forsight. At the time I said the first club to match his anbitions and let him build his project would see a special side capable of dominating Europe, sadly although on the brink in 07, it was not to be us. Just hope Ashley doesn't show his true colours and lets him get on with the job matching his ambitions because if he does your in for one hell of a ride.

Thanks Rafa for giving us our 'cloob' back!

What a man! Asked on Monday whether he missed the bright lights of the Champions League or Premier League, he looked back almost confused. “I am concentrating on games and that’s it. I decided to stay for the fans and the club, to stay in England and manage a team in the way you want to manage,” he said. “I’m not thinking about what isn’t here. It’s a sunny day outside, I’m coaching a team the way I want to coach it. That’s it. In the end, it’s XI versus XI and we’ve got 52,000 fans coming to our games - it’s not bad.”

Coral will doubt the odds on a team to win tonight if they win both halves!

Urgh ... Colo and Taylor man. Had completely wiped these two from my mind. What a horrific pairing they were together. Damned depressing stuff. They were superb together in 11-12 until Taylor got injured!
