Benitez to Chelsea Discussion & Sack watch

Would love it if he went to Madrid, and his first bit of transfer business was to sign Gareth Barry to replace Xabi Alonso.
 
Oh man Agent Rafa is blowing his cover too soon.

I would like to think this will help deluded pool fans obsession with him too but that's just a dream sadly. :(
 
I was reading the shed end today, which I rarely do and there seems to be growing belief in the 'agent Rafa' theory behind all of this.

The team selections, substitutions and management seem so bad that its now becoming suspicious.

Obviously bullshit but it shows what level we are at and how bad Rafa is that paranoid ideas he was sent to bring the club down are actually seeping into peoples minds as a possibility.
 
The paranoia could be justified. Given that Rafa himself knows that he won't be at SB long-term wants to put in a trophy on his CV to nab a good next job. Always felt that he doesn't give a shit about the league and a CL qualification coupled with a cup is his agenda atm.

Surely this would become obvious right away though and lead to his sacking?

I honestly believe that the only thing keeping him from being sacked right now is the fact that is would make the board look even more stupid.

It takes a bigger man to admit you made a mistake, and that's what we need right now, big men!

Terry and Rafa are as Big as they come
 
Rafael Benitez has admitted Chelsea are struggling under the strain of playing too many matches and may need to sacrifice cup competitions to guarantee a top four finish.

'We are playing too many games, games each three days. You have to manage your squad.'

So he wasnt the one who picked a full strength team for the pointless game on thursday then? :confused:

Argh, this man makes me so angry. I want to punch a squirrel.
 
Hopefully he plays the under 16s against Boro then.

Seriously though, I'm sure he's looking at his remaining time at Chelsea in terms of what's best for him. Europa and FA cups over league position, since they clearly won't win that.

whip up the headhunters, find out where he lives and mob up in front of his house.
 
There's a RAWK goes into meltdown, Bluemoon goes into meltdown, Arsenal-Mania goes into meltdown, why is there no Theshedend goes into meltdown thread??

and he hasnt even broke out his facht sheet yet :D
 
I love this. You could just imagine the smug prick licking his lips at the thought of taking over Chelsea and getting one over Fergie after 2009. Instead he's completely destroyed all morale and have the club showing signs of not making the top four for a consecutive year. Meanwhile United are storming to a 20th league title.

The Arsenal thread has grown only four pages long in eighteen months and it's boring as hell. The fact is, Arsenal and Chelsea websites aren't populated by the bitter, paranoid, delusional normans as are their Liverpool and City counterparts, thus the latter are the ones who meltdown at a rate of four or five pages a week whilst the former are largely ignored

That's probably down to just the size of the community rather than anything qualitative.

From the gooners we have on here it's evident that they can be just as inspiring.

You exaggerate. The Gooners have their moments, but to say they can be just as 'inspiring' as the Scourers is ludicrous.

Just think for a second, what a lucid mind like alastair would be able to accomplish, given an opportunity in the environment that inculcates poetic expression as much as rawk.

It would be a page-turner and you know it.

Doubtless, but the simple fact is that Arsenal and Chelsea fans aren't as susceptible to bouts of nauseatingly mellifluous doggerel as such are rife in the cringemill of RAWK, and neither are they as bitter and ravingly paranoid as the collection of lamebrains over at Blue Moon, and thus, our world is as it is, with the focus of our amusement firmly fixed upon our two most bountiful lunatic asylums.
 
To be fair Matas performance yesterday was homogeneously omnipotent.

I don't think anyone in England will touch Rafa after this, his only hope is La Liga and he didn't need another trophy on his CV if he wanted a job in Spain, he's just a clueless idiot who has has finally been sussed out.
 
Also is it just me that notices Benitez wailing off a bunch of commands with this look of 'nobody is really listening to me..' on his face?

Maybe I am reading to much into it.
 
They wont sack him. He's only the interim manager or "coach". He will keep on "training and coaching".

Even if he sack him, who will they replace him with anyway? Another interim manager?

We've generally given United a good game - it's fair to say we have been as close to anyone as being your bogey side in the Premier League era.

It's like some clubs point to our home attendances as evidence of us being a small club and it's true that there were some shockers in the 80's and early 90's, but away from home we had one of the biggest/best away supports in the country. We're the 5th best supported club in England in all-time attendances etc...

I remember 94 in particular......You beat us home and away, with I think Gavin Peacock scoring in a pair of 1-0s.............although we had our revenge in the cup final :devil::devil::devil::devil:
 
They were poor against City yesterday. Looked very lacking in fight, easy to get through in midfield, and harmless up top.

Picture the scene.

Spurs miss out on the CL this year again, whilst we scrape in. This summer we sign Cavani and some top midfielder and we push for the title next year. Meanwhile, Spurs enter a decline, finishing 8th and look destined for eternal mediocrity. Bale gives it another year out of loyalty but is looking for a new challenge.

But he has a small child to look after, and the old mining villages of the north don't appeal, Barcelona have Neymar, and being a galactico at Real Madrid just doesn't suit him. He wants a bit of stability in his life.

Out of contract and looking for a new challenge, he picks up his phone. It's Arsene with the special phone call he used on Ramsey and Cazorla. His dulcet tones give Gareth goosebumps. He quivers as Wenger describes the five year plan and reels off a list of former great Arsenal left wingers in whose illustrious footsteps Bale would be stepping. It's a done deal.

The next morning. Voila. Campbell-esque. Ape-ish grin on one side, Arsenal shirt in his hands on the other, Bale poses for his first photo as our new talisman, and leads us to a magnificent title.

Exactly like that, that's what I'm talking about.

He's every bit as brilliant as any distinguished rawkite you can think of, if not better.

Just needs a stage to shine, and arse mania is too small a stage to atract his ilk.
 
you undermine your own point by highlighting Alastair. His best pieces of feckwittery have come in the defence of Liverpool and Rafa.
 
"Who's that bringing out the tapas? Who's that serving out the beers? It's that useless Scouser git whose turned another team to shit, it's the third time it's happened in 5 years!"
 
Sportsmail understands skipper John Terry, who has been overlooked since recovering from injury, then made a passionate case on behalf of the players, even though he wasn't even on the pitch at the Etihad Stadium.

I actually believe that. :wenger: :lol:
 
He has got a point about players not wanting to perform for certain managers, they did the same think to AVB towards the end of his stint at Chelsea.
 
Neil Ashton must be so fecking annoying for the Chelsea fans.
 
He did decent with Liverpool but then cracked up. Then he fecked up everything Mourinho did at Inter, and now he's increased the gap between us and Chelsea from 4 to 19 points. :lol:

Average manager who thinks he is a lot better than he is.
