Pleasure as always, Strike. But I couldn't disagree more about the conclusion. Just read what you wrote above, it is clear to me that the negatives of Rafa's reign, what we all know are his weaknesses like his subs, only affected results that no longer matter. While, most of the positives, on the other hand, are things that the team will benefit from greatly in the coming season and could be crucial for us competing for trophies again like the improve under rafa in the game of our key players like Luiz, Hazard, Mata, Azpi..etc And the organization he brought to the team. To me, not giving credit to Rafa is choosing to continue to hate him for events that happened before he joined the club. I'd like to think that I am not a hateful man, and I am not an ungrateful man, so thank you Rafa for your professionalism, for helping the club and doing your best for the team and for achieving our main objectives of the season. I honestly wish you luck wherever you end up next.

I was lookimg for that GIF, thanks! I thought the ref was shit and it affected both teams. He made the mistake 6 mins in not booking Matic and it was always going to be downhill for him from there. Anyway, thankfully his mistakes did not affect the game too much.

The stick he got was because of the mistakes he made that cost us during games. It has nothing to do with his injury, it has to do with his bad decision making that has always been his biggest weakness. True, but that's a bit unfair to say since all of our back 4 had an excellent game. In fact, I'd say Azpi was our worst defender yesterday.

Yesterday was the first time that Luiz has played in midfield against teams that actually press. Even when we played Tottenham, Parker and Huddlestone were not pressing our midfield. And it showed exactly what we've been saying. He was so passive and sloppy. Just looked completely lost in there. And it's not his fault, you can't play your whole career at CB and then just move to midfield at the age of 26. It's a very difficult transition. Hope this is the end of the "Luiz in midfield" experiment unless we have a crisis of injuries there.

It was such a dramatic goal. The ball seemed to stay in the air for hours!

We started playing better when he came alive. I'm actually a bit scared of how much we rely on him!

I hope that injury he picked up in the first half was not so bad. He seemed much less mobile in the second half because of it.

Happy Birthday you drunk Scot!

I loved how the players threw him in the air last night like he was our key man this season! Such a great guy, he just has to stay in the coaching staff!

He'd be what when his contract here ends? 32-33? I honestly can see him staying and seeing it out.

Nein. We used to live in Switzerland; I was actually born there. But we came back when I was only 1 year old so all my family members know how to speak German except for me.

Frank has now won every possible silverware at club level in England!

Completely bossed the midfield in the first half, though tbf, that's not a big achievement considering how bad Frank and Luiz were!

Spent half the match in the offside, but he did cause the Benfica defense a lot of trouble. Wasn't as bad as people are making him out to be. Luiz and lamps, for example, had much much worse performances tonight. Anyway, it doesn't matter, what matters is that the trophy is ours!

Another 2 assists in finals for Juan. Our new big-match player! Btw, those 2 assists take him to 8 assists in European competitions this season. More than any other player in any club! (Zlatan second with 7).

Don't get your hopes up about him leaving. He still has his immense wages. Besides he said, once again, after the game that he hopes to stay at least till his contract expires in 3 years.

And Torres has another great performance against Benfica. That Goal was just sooo good! So unlike him (even his former liverpool self). Reminded me of Drogba, actually.

Our Hero! Had an excellent game in defense as well. Had to with the lousy job the our pivot was doing.

Whenever we start calling for his head, he goes and has a performance like that!

So happy we won. Wasn't pretty, but we did it! Credit wher it's due, thank you Rafa for helping us win the EL!

Me too, I just never had the legs to pull them off!

Well it's a complete theory on the inevitability of nihilism. It is someone who committed suicide because of a philosophical theory not depression or any other mental disease which answers your original question if that is possible.

I can't. I only had one class today and I didn't even go to the uni. Btw, should't you be studying?!!

I've rarely been confident about a match like I am about this one. And I'm confident we're going to lose. I just know it in my guts!

I hate you all! I just literally skipped class to participate in the past few pages here!
