Keep him at all fucking costs! http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=327302.0 Back to nostalgia...If 20 years since the great 4-3 game since hard to believe then frankly I'm even more astounded that next month will be a whopping 10 years since the last trophy won by Liverpool by current Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez. It really should have been the beginning of so much more but sadly we know what came next - cowboys, infighting, threats of administration and absolutely no spades in the ground. I absolutely loved Rafa. I still do, I can't help it. He gave so much for this club and yet is still treated shabbily by the wider footballing community. Fuck 'em! I will always wish him well and firmly hope Newcastle survive this season and he sticks around for a while in the Premier League again, winding up Mancs and Evertonians alike with his barbed comments delivered with his trademark sly grin. Of course Rafa has returned in the opposition dugout at Anfield once before when at Chelsea. I forget what happened, it was quite a low key game with nothing of note really taking place. A goal hungry Luis Suarez rescued a point late on I think. What I've always found so odd about Rafa is how such a decent and humble man can divide opinion so massively. To a lot of us he represented us in the fight against appalling owners. A man who has shown nothing but class, decency and dignity when representing the city of Liverpool. For others, largely outsiders but even some of our 'supporters' he was a man who could do no right. As I said - fuck 'em! Had this latest return happened 12 months earlier you could be sure that this thread would be full of bickering and infighting. Thankfully we have a current manager who in a similar mould to Rafa a decade ago has come in from the outside where he had an outstanding track record of winning two titles against far bigger spenders and made an instant impact at Liverpool. Slightly inconsistent League form followed by strong runs in Europe and a League Cup final appearance with early FA Cup defeats to sides playing in Claret and Blue...spooky! Thankfully we can give our thanks to Rafa, pay our respects for all he did for us safe in the knowledge that we don't need to spend the summer arguing for and against why he should come back to us; safe in the knowledge that we have the right man for the job and excited again about what the future holds. Meanwhile Rafa must once again deal with awful ownership, at least secure in the knowledge that once again the fans have rallied behind him. Two great managers, a lot at stake (certainly for Newcastle), Anfield in the spring sunshine...maybe we'll even see another Kop End last minute winner. I suspect this will be tight. You can be sure Rafa will have a plan for how to deal with us. Newcastle will play like their lives depend on it. They did very well against City last night. I think we'll just squeak it 2-1.

"I think Rafa will want to show great respect for Liverpool and the fans," former captain Phil Thompson told Sky Sports. "I hope Newcastle fans understand that and not take it personally as I remember when Gerard Houllier came back and had Aston Villa fans screaming at him because he waved at the Liverpool fans. Rafa is a very professional man and he'll want to do the best for Newcastle and keep them up, but Liverpool are naturally still very close to his heart.

Like me, a lot of the Scousers seem to think that he'll stay regardless! http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=282654.4680 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

“In a kind of weird sadomasochistic way, I think he’s absolutely loving it at Newcastle.” http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rafa-benitezs-impact-newcastle-future-11217660

Either Sky Sports have ballsed up on their six a side game or someone is having a laugh! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160420/0325afe9dbbb779f320d97765fbb429b.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We must be due a win against this lot! • We've won none of the last 18 Premier League games against Man City (D2, L16), losing the last 12 in a row. • If Man City win they'll equal the record of consecutive Premier League win against a specific opponent (13 - Manchester Utd v Wigan) • Man City have won 7 and lost none of their last 8 visits to St James' Park. • Newcastle record P8 W0 D0 late F1 A23 • Aguero has 10 goals in 8 Premier League games against NUFC, more than any other opponent other than Spurs. • Aguero has 99 Premier League goals in 146 games. If he scores on Tuesday he'll be the 2nd quickest to 100 goals in the competition after Shearer (99/124) • Silva has 5 goals and 4 assists in the last 7 appearances against Newcastle. • Man City have scored at least 2 goals in each of the last 15 Premier League games against Newcastle and 11 in the last two meetings. • Pellegrini's next victory will be his 100th as Man City manager in all competitions.
