How did he deserve the abuse?

"I can understand the rivalry in the past (between Chelsea and Liverpool), but I am sure the majority of fans will understand I am a professional and I just want to do my job." (Rafa should've meant minority)

For gods sake those comments were made when he was the LIVERPOOL manager. He saw us as a major threat and tried to talk trash and get in our heads. Liverpool aren't even relevant anymore and RB is the Chelsea manager now. Move on.

Well I am of the opinion don't say things that you don't mean. Maybe he should have made an apology to the fans. I never heard one from rafadyce. Besides it was only the passionless CFC fans making their feelings known to rafa. He should appreciate them

[Rambo 1,729]

We don't want to see rafadyce to succeed. It's simple as that. So if RDM gets fired for being in 3rd only a 3rd way during the season, then we will rather have CFC finish below l'puke. That way rafadyce can jog the fuck on.

That is asinine...winning trophies is a collective effort. I don't care if you dislike Rafa, but to want the team to fail on purpose is completely ridiculous.

[Tomo 21,741]

It's a two way street, Rafa made shit comments about us in the past, we have all done it back to him, If he delivers any form of success most of us will backtrack and pretend we never said them, just like we "never" called Torres a ladyboy or "never" hated Ashley Cole.

All our English players we currently have grew up supporting other clubs, do you seriously think they have never said things about us just as bad if not worse than what Rafa said?

Chelsea and Rafa will never be a love marriage, this is a marriage of convience, if Rafa steadies the ship we will be in good sted ready for the new manager (hopefully Jose or Pep) and Rafa's stock will be back on the rise so he can recover his career elsewhere.

and LOL at the comment in this thread saying people who don't abuse Rafa from the off are plastics, i suppose comments like "fed up of suuporting this club, whats happening?" or "Lampard is now scum" two of the beauty's that have been spouted after recent sacking's is better?

He doesn't need to apologize. It was made within the context of the game, those comments were not out of line.

I despise Rafa, but those who are slagging him off at SB are putting their hatred of Rafa before the good of the club. It can never be a good thing for the team or the morale when boos are ringing around the stadium before the game even kicked off...

[Heisenberg 1,824]

We are ridiculous really , Rafael benitez is our coach now and god know i hate him like everyone here but i'm supporter of CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB and that means we all HAVE TO SUPPORT RAFA and stop living in the past , this guy is trying to do his best to save club season , i'm angry like you because of the sacking but don't act like stupid fans , if i had the possibiliy to go the Bridge every sunday/Saturday i'll cheer & support the club not Di Matteo or booing Benitez, some of you have a fantastic opportunity to see your beloved team every sunday , so please dont ruin these great 90 Minutes by booing OUR coach.We have to move on and try to do the maximum to finish with a trophy and a 3rd place.

[Yasser 63]

I understand CFC fans angry, but now Rafa will remain our manager until end of the season! so we must fully support the team and this includes the manager, even if we hate him! The point is until the end of the season he will remain our manager, how we want to win and we call sirens boos on the manager?!!!! if you will not support the manager just ignore him!

KTBFFH!

Did anyone else feel that RDM was losing the lockeroom? The players seemed uninterested and ill disciplined.

No son, it's called having an opinion & having the right to voice that opinion. People pay good money to watch CFC. They have the right to let their displeasure shown/heard. People are not sheep & certainly not CFC fans.

[Rambo 1,729]

Too right, the amount of shallow, plastic fans we have nowadays is just not on. Why should we meekly accept the Fat Controller?? can't believe some of the spineless posts on here. Some if you lot need to go shopping and buy yourself a back bone

So I'm spineless because I want the team I support to succeed? Ok I can live with that.

If you go to Stamford Bridge to express your opinion , do it in the right way , we'll never be top of the league by booing our team & Benitez , and showing a 'FUCK OFF BENNY' every sunday, i'm very happy when i see a 'Only Di Matteo " in the stadium , that mean this supporter is not happy and that is normal because football is nothing without fans , but please tell my what is the point of booing Benny ?

[robdog 2,084]

but please tell my what is the point of booing Benny ?

It's informing rafadyce know that CFC fans do have passion & are not plastic like he believes. Also to inform rafadyce that CFC fans don't forget. The funny thing, he said all that shit about CFC, but when the money was on the table his greedy ass couldn't say no. That right there let's me know what I need to know of rafadyce.

If this money was on the table its because he is a good manager.I dont care if he hate us , he knew that he is at Chelsea Football Club and he wasnt welcomed here but still , to boo him is not the solution , the 'Only Di Matteo' are enough.Seriously i just can't continue to see watch matches at the bridge until the end of the season with fans chanting Di Matteo and booing Rafa.Mourinho is a legend but i cant imagine Arsenal fans ou Liverpool fans booing him , because he is a top class manager , same thing for Benny , even if he is not that good like Mou he deserves credit , he is a very good manager & for know, he is doing well and he will prove that this season.

comment on the BBC:

'It stuns me that he is looking so far abroad when the master tactician that is Garth Crooks is already in the UK. How he is not the bookies favourite is beyond me. You only need to look at his team of the week selections to see that the guy knows his stuff. Plus you'll get entertainment, with formations like 4-1-5! Although don't score 1 week and your out of the team!'
