Wonder if anyone pondered that at Stamford Bridge last night.  I hope Napoli meets the chavs and give them a footballing lesson.

Classic! The heading was enough to have me chuckling  I will reserve judgement until the end of the Italian season. But if it pans out as I expect, there will be no hiding places on these boards

The best part is that Rafa won them the Uefa Cup, and is forever etched into their history.

3/3 in the league too. Really hope he takes Serie A to add to his growing collection of winners medals.

He is a champions league/Europe specialist. Always liked Rafa, if he would have got the financial backing, we would have won the league. We very nearly did it on the bargains he found. It is a crime of fate that he went to such a unappreciative club such as chelsea who had no respect and no class. They pined and screamed for their "special one". I honestly believe Rafa is the better manager in terms of tactics and player selection. Mourinho is very good at making individual players feel like they are the best players in the world, but his tactics are very anti-football. He failed at putting barcelona in their place despite being at the richest club in the world. Overrated. +1 I hate watching his teams play, god knows why they wanted him back they must fall asleep watching that crap.

rafa type of football suits c/l, I remember rafa with his shocking buys,some of his games we did not have shot at goal,thought barry was better than Alonso,and the amount of money he wasted.BR would love to have the budget rafa had.
