The Benitez Thread

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

And the famous 'We will improve' quote again. Hopefully not for long.

[Laylabelle 9,384]

Well we cant get any worse...we hope!

[Hamilton 2,120]

Shame Spurs wont they've kinda just appeared behind us

No, we appeared in front of them..

Damn, we were on course to a easy 3rd place, and even could hoped for more..

The situation right now is just depressing. From the highs of overcoming Napoli, came back from the dead to beat Barcelona and Bayern and win the Champions League in May, buying exciting players like Oscar and Hazard, playing expansive football and winning games earlier this season TO the lows of experiencing our annual winter slump, sacking RDM and appointing a man that we all hate as well as getting into this mess with the team and club. Why can't we ever have a peaceful and straightforward season without the team being in some doldrums because of matters on and off the pitch for once?! *sigh*

Additionally, if you look at the league and how other teams performing right now, it's just bloody depressing that we are experiencing this poor run of form and have a flop blondie as our main striker. If we had 1-2 top class strikers right now, we would well challenging for the title and could even be running away with the league now! *sigh*

If Clattenburg hadnt lost it in the Man U game who knows....blehhh

[Milan 17,859]

If Clattenburg hadnt lost it in the Man U game who knows....blehhh

Well the fact is this game started it all. Until then, we had been brilliant, had beaten Spurs and 4 points clear at the top. One stupid game and voila.

it would be nice to be able to blame Clattebcunt but really he was just the catalyst

And we were playing so well..then that happened then the fall out from the whole racism thing from that and our players just suddenly seemed to all play like crap

Before then we'd lost to Athletico Madrid and Shakhtar, and dropped a two-goal lead at home to Juventus. There were problems before the United game.

Arsenal had a bad start...they improved and kept on going without making a big chaos out of it...

Spurs had an awful start...they improved and kept AVB...

City were struggling 'til recently, they improved and kept Mancini...

We won the club's 2nd historic double, brought very young players and had a rather good start to the season...and we sacked Robbie...

Idiocy at its best.

That said, Benitez still has my support, but with this loss not as much as before it.

I just really really hope we finish in the top4, get rid of Torres and Madrid to win the CL so we can get Jose back and end all this bullshit once and for all...

No team can win every single game. Those weren't problems, they were just the law of probability.

That would be the same Arsenal who are 7 places below us and lost at home to Swansea today?

And how is almost certainly getting knocked out of the Champions League a 'rather good start to the season'?

Sorry but being dissected by not one, but two teams IS a problem. The same problems were thrown up in each game and finally they started appearing in games against Swansea and West Brom and Man United and Liverpool.

I'm afraid Benitez is here to stay.

Well I a betting man, what odds are you offering that he lasts to the end of the season.

I will offer you evens, that if he fails to win the next two games against Nordsjaelland and Sunderland, his days could be counted on one hand.
