I remember a time when you loved me....
Did you see this, Hectic?
I am interested in your view as I'd like to hear a rational opinion of why you think Benitez ruins clubs.
well he certainly seems to be doing a marvellous job at Inter
"...rational..."
unless of course you aspire to that level of brilliance?
just wondering if you actually believed Rafa was doing a great job at Inter?
I don't follow Inter or Italian football and I don't care as much as you lot how Rafa is doing there.
I didn't say he ruins clubs. Point me out where I said that. Instead, I was highlighting the comparison as a silly one. Houllier's position today compared to how he fared with Liverpool doesn't work at all, situation, players, club, I don't see it as a valid comparison of how Houllier fares with competition, hence the Rafa equivalent comment, which is the same thing.
Interesting though, that when I say 'Look what Rafa is doing at Inter' you automatically assume my point is that he is that he ruins clubs.
My bad.
Most on here think he ruins clubs and I lazily assumed you thought similarly.
Obviously you don't.
We can move on then!
So you will take it from us that he's doing a pretty awful job. Well, it's beyond awful really.
I don't think he ruins clubs, I said the same thing earlier, I think that view of him being useless or somehow the destruction of teams is a complete over exaggeration. You can't achieve what he has if that is it.
However, I think he has taken clubs into decline, well, Liverpool - but that's my perception of the team before and after, and I don't see it as concrete either way - debatable. And also Inter, who he was unlucky to inherit after they had won everything, that said, he's doing his best to win absolutely nothing.
He's clearly not as bad a manager as some make him out to be, but he is by no means the victim and saint as others paint, he certainly has his downfalls.
which is a veiled attempt of admitting that Rafa is crap
Yeah, it seems he is. But I am not disputing that because:
a) I would be wrong, and;
b) I simply don't care how Benitez is doing at Inter.
Christ.
Bang on the money for mine.
I should have added, which have manifested themselves in more recent times, which I think is fair.
Who promoted the miracle retard? But he's been watched to be fair.
I agree with this also. He seems to have fallen off a cliff in the past 18 months. If he doesn't turn it round at Inter and gets the spanish archer, he should take some time out.
Maybe shed some pounds.
Yet you talk about Benitez more than anyone here. Funny that.
You like to paint yourself as being a bit ambivalent when it comes to Benitez, yet in every single thread where Benitez is mentioned you're there like a bad smell with your Benitez PR campaign.
It was quite funny the other day when you brought up Benitez in a thread totally unrelated to him, then bizarrely accused the United fans of turning the argument onto Rafa when they responded to your post.
That just about sums you up.
which retard are you talking about, Spoony?
And the inevitable insults follow.
You are nowt if not predictable, Erica!
which retard are you talking about, Spoony?
Liverpool fan masquerading as a Gooner. I find him odd. But everyone knows what I'd do to this place. Delete half the members and create a net utopia.
A neutopia?
Yeah, why not. Nice avatar by the way, Hecto.
We need some RAWK posts to get this thread back on track.
It seems a lot of them have convinced themselves that Inter will draw Man Utd or Real in the next round and Rafa will prove his worth again.

If that's the case, I really hope you don't explode if we smash them. Because apparently you don't really care about Inter or Benitez

That tie is win win for me.
Happy Birthday for next week btw.
edit: win draw actually would be more apt.
I doubt Benitez will still be in charge of Inter if it does.

Surely a United win is always a lose for a Liverpool fan, especially if your fat superhero is managing the opposition?
Thats like saying Fred West was a pretty good man, for a serial killer at least.
A bit harsh to blame him for the failures of the first season, but he gets all the credit for the success, and anyone giving any of it to Houllier is a revisionist fool?
As others have stated, I'm in the mid-point boat, but you can't have it both ways. Just like your lambasting of people for judging Rafa on his Inter performance, but confidently declare that judging Houllier on his Villa performance is totally acceptable.
If your stance is going to be that people are idiots for making a particular value judgement - probably best not to repeat exactly the same mistake yourself.
I think it would galvanize the CAF as well.

I really do despair at whoever has written that.
What Rafa is good at:
Cup runs.
Being the underdog.
Tactics.
Defensive play/Avoiding defeat.
Public relations (at least with Liverpool).
What Rafa is bad at:
Man management.
Maintaining any advantage/superior position.
Going for the jugular/Creative, attacking play.
What Rafa is hit and miss at:
Transfer market (more miss than hit, but I'm in a charitable mood).

Very fair summary I'd say.
