Paully Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Rafa loves football and that's why he's a success, he never seems to tire of the game. He works his bollocks off because it's what gives him a buzz and we have to keep him, he's almost irreplaceable for us. You would think that a manager who has won the Champions League would p*ss in the trophy that we won yesterday but Rafa loved it. He didn't seem to take that winners medal off for hours after the game, he doesn't seem to care what he wins, he just wants to win. Nail on head! We are so lucky to have him!

UncleBingo Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Where does he actually stay now? Is he commuting daily from somewhere far? His family is in Liverpool right? You would have thought after yesterday, any normal football manager would be at home with their family at the end of a long gruelling season instead of watching an u-23 game on a Monday night. This guy is a Legend. I don't know if he's still there, would seem a bit bizarre if he was, but he was in the Jesmond Dene Hotel for quite a while. He stayed at the Hilton when he first arrived. Has a house in Jesmond now not far from Jesmond Dene House actually. Yikes, we're practically neighbours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is a Legend. He's just killing time by doing his job. Tbf, he's probably not going to go back to Wirral right away when he's going to have a meeting with Ashley and I'm sure some other typical end of the season stuff this week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 That shirt looks circa 2010. Why the hell did Villa produce a banner calling Rafa a fat Spanish waiter? What the f*** is it with them and banners. I think he was being mentioned as a replacement for Houllier in 2011 and some of them didn't want him, they ended up with Alex McLeish instead.

Aye, I remember that being mentioned by Liverpool fans when Rafa came here. I didn't know they made a fucking banner though. Thought it was just daft cunts on the internet or something.

themanupstairs Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Obviously been posted...but incase anyone missed it: https://www.nufc.co.uk/nufc-tv/latest-videos/rafas-review-barnsley-h-16-17-reaction He didn't want us to concede so we would finish the season as (equal) top scorers and with the equal best defence with Brighton. How he finds small targets for improvement, even when resigned to finishing runners-up, tells you everything you need to know about this guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 The man just loves trophies, doesn’t he? Not a bad little collection!
