I long to be satisfied enough by something I've done to tuck my (fictional) glasses into a top pocket. What a man

That the match most pundits would have had us kicked out of the league for setting up to get a result, instead of setting up to get a hiding infront of a global audience

That was the season before on Sky, lost 0-1.

I know Athletic are meant to be our bffs in Spain, but I’m this close to nabbing a Celta top.

 

 

 


Your local Spanish top flight team I would think if you need a further excuse.

Anyone following La Liga enough to confirm what the table and results suggest; i.e. that it's gone fucking terribly for him so far at Celta Vigo? Another last minute defeat tonight (98th minute pen) and 1 win in his first 13. They appear to concede heartbreaking late goals like it's going out of fashion.

Just found this write-up; looks like they've been on the end of some rough calls.

Looked last week. Seem to lose a lot of games by 1 (Inc Real & Barca where they were unlucky). Wonder if the usual will happen that he'd do here and power on second half of the season.

Good draw today at Valencia. Looks like a typical Rafa start to a season? Staying in touch, not getting hammered...if his time here was anything to go by they'll win a few soon and be well clear by the run-in.

1 win in 13. Been a while since he's been a success at a club. Biggest mistake of his career leaving here.

He had to leave, was hardly gonna stay and work under those conditions, any manager worth his salt would've  done the same.... going to Everton was always a dodgy move on his part... but made sense to in a way logistically i suppose.... loved rafa and probs always will, his 3 year spell at the club was the only bright spark in a horrible, horrible period for this football club....
