Be careful Growler with that statement. You know who is watching, ready to attack.

On a serious note I don't like the fact that Benitez first game is at Leicester. Hopefully their reaction takes another week to kick in, Leicester needs the 3 points.


Back to Back World Champions baby!

Can't see this going well for him, he was awful with better players in his last years with us. If they get relegated I can't see rafa getting out of the championship.. too many set pieces to defend

From memory he only had one poor season with us which was the last one after losing Arbeloa and Alonso and not replacing them with players of the same quality.

Considering that he was replaced by Roy Hodgson I would have much preferred to keep Rafa.
