bless him, nobody gives a fuck cos he's shit and a cunt.

Is La Liga better than the Premier League?

My first impression, and whenever I have been asked this question I have been convinced of this, is that the Premier League is quicker and has bigger physical demands than the Spanish championship, and that La Liga is more technical and tactical.

Rafa bringing the insight.

darraghmac is Siralec AICMFP:

Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson saw a picture of former Liverpool boss Benitez during an interview in an Italian newspaper office and said: “He is jobless and he is not my friend.”

oh wow

"Nasri Sustains Hand Injury With France"

Must have tried picking up his wallet imho.

I'd heard it was a shoulder strain sustained while patting himself on the back

Maybe Arsene left him a little surprise in his kitbag

Nah it was cramp cos he's such a wanker

all good stuff

bless him, nobody gives a fuck cos he's shit and a cunt.

I like you, and I don't know if this "A+ trolling", but seriously, lay off. Regardless of what you think of his tactics, he's a good man. Perhaps you should watch the reception he received at the last Hillsborough Memorial Service for an indication of how highly he is thought of in this city. Then maybe you'll refrain from calling the man "a cunt". Leaving this thread for a while before I say something I regret.

Right, fair enough.

I think we can accept that, none of us knowing him personally, our perceptions of Rafa Benitez the man are all to be taken with a large pinch of salt- that's either in positive aspect (I feel that we'd all be popular at Hillsborough events if we were serving or previous Liverpool managers) or negative (his public persona, for many neutrals or opposition fans is clearly at the very best 'divisive').

I'd always take this as understood, which is why I wouldn't bat an eyelid at the things you read perfectly normal people like yr avg ilxor saying dreadful things (yes, like 'he's a cunt') on ie ILF about y'know people we essentially know nothing about. It's internet messageboard guff. I don't take it seriously. I wouldn't lean over a dinnertable to the gent in question and pssst yer a cunt at him, y'know?

Furthermore, while admitting we know nothing about him, really, the man is a celebrity with a publc persona. With that territory comes adulation undeserved and hyperbolic vitriol equally so. It's kind of a 'thing' and again, not having a go at you but [whiney]ffs it's just football messageboard shitetalk[/whiney]

I'm sure Benitez would treat my anonymous internet opinion with the appropriate contempt. Part of the fun is that these are perfectly weightless opinions- they're not painted on his bathroom wall, y'know?

I wouldn't want to fall out with anyone over this kind of thing, basically- yourself and ronan get kinda irate in defence of Rafa, and I know his antics get me and others nicely riled up, but jesus lads it's only the internet.

so. many. board. descriptions. this being my favourite:

I wouldn't lean over a dinnertable to the gent in question and pssst yer a cunt at him

careful you'll get pleasant plains in here

Chris- i'm not trying to tell you what should or shouldn't annoy you, cos that'd be aggravatory of me. Just trying to make you see it in the way it's intended, ok not exactly lighthearted banter but it's fairly non-consequential nonsense in an obscure corner of the net- if it was ever gonna hurt rafa i'd probably stop. Probably.

If i had a quid for every time someone on here called Fergie a cunt...

Yeah, but fair comment surely?

bites the eads of whippets

the nasri insults were funnier than the rafa one but i don't know if this is because nasri is more a wanker than rafa is a cunt (if at all, etc.)

or maybe there's more imagination at work with the hand, visualising nasri wanking etc.

felt bad fergie got kicked in a balls, but i had a giggle when i imagined what his face looked like when he got a low blow.

sorry this isn't the "retarded" thread.

take out the quote marks though.

i felt like p f should have posted the above

felt bad fergie got kicked in a balls

He felt worse amirite? It was some *jakey that did it wasn't it?

(*you might have to google this word)

t'was aye

Actually think I would have to be riled to call ferguson a cunt, tho usually i'm drunk when I post things along the road to the cunt district so perhaps I actually get there and forget the next day.

I do think rafa is actually a good man, he didn't have to get as involved in hillsborough as he has and he speaks out about it a lot even still.

i'm sure he's grand, y'know. His one-one interviews seem a lot more laid back and goid-humoured, but you have to admit the ammo is there in a lot of his other public dealings. Arguments for and against, like anyone tbf. I'm good with kids and grannies, like.

good with kids and Gráinnes

niche material, kudos

"the referee was perfect" was quite annoying though

"the referee was perfect" was quite annoying though

cunty imo

Sorry about that, Darragh. I'm a bit sensitive at the moment; one of our 'legends' recently raised the possibility that some Liverpool supporters may have been to blame for Hillsborough. The same legend who quipped "Perhaps we can get back to the football" on Truth Day in 2007, and only yesterday made a sly comment about Rafa, having used Hillsborough to attack him and turn the fans against him last year. Fed up and pissed off, but no excuse.

who is that

ya who?

Np btw

Mark Lawrenson.

deems' rafa hate is one of the most inexplicably unhinged vendettas of his

he gives the impression of being a nice enough chap but very easily riled when trying to conduct a publicity war in a second language

i dislike the way his teams play football but i dont think his extreme micromanagement and weird pettiness are enough to hate him

lawrenson is a catty lil bitch

what can i say, one thing i demand is expansiveness

lawrenson has a damp and manky teatowel where his brain should be

"Why can’t the government just say ‘right, here are the facts, here are all the papers,’ and then just let the people make their minds up? Maybe there are lots of people to blame, maybe there are Liverpool supporters to blame, Stephen, and if there are, well, they have to deal with those consequences, but we just basically want to know the truth.”

what lawrenson actually said fyi.

Good to see that you follow Dan! He wrote a great piece on Financial Fair Play a few months ago.

nice bit of bedtime reading for darragh here.

xp ah fair enough

i only do two things in bed tbh

this will only complement your rafa roleplay bondage time, i promise.

can't believe number none posted that blackburn bullshit, that's a fergie and allardyce slur, not a rafa one. what a total load of shit that was!

I saw that but assumed he was playin' and fishing for another "ARGH" response from me!

yeah pretty much
