Really, Rafa? Really?

Wouldnt be surprised if the pictures are real, horrifying tactics that match.

It's not the first time jounalist's have done this. They did they exact same thing to AVB in Napoli.

Rafa comes in takes a team that was leaking goals and two days later holds the PL champions to a 0-0 draw: Two days later does the same in a local derby. Loses the next game when the team dominates WH and then reverts to the defensive form it became accustomed to under RDM. Then a CL game where, true to his form Rafa wins again - 6-1. (He is one of the most winning managers in the CL). Then off to Japan where, with a few days training, the team wins 3-1 and then loses 1-0 in a final with the Copa Americana winners who had been preparing for two weeks. It should have been another win for Rafa but the team reverted to RDM style defending and Torres missed a sitter Aside from Rafa playing himself in central defence and at centre forward nothing he could do about it. Return to England, pouring rain, two days preparation against Leeds - wins 5-1 despite another RDM-era defensive mistake. And through all this very impressive start he is booed by a handful of Chelsea fans - before the first match and all through the others - some of them wishing the team would lose so they could prove their point. It is so stupid it is almost not worth mentioning. It's not going to affect Rafa but it might affect the club.

Rupert : yada yada yada *gags on The Fat One's dick * yada yada yada

It's amusing that he blames the defeats on the players, credits the wins to the manager and hails the two 0-0 draws as something highly commendable. Although you have to give him marks for consistency; he's said before he's more a Benitez fan than the clubs he manages.

Well Rupert is entitled to his opinions - just because you don't like them no need to slag him off...

Has RB done a better job than RDM - who's to say? On the balance probably has... Post Jan is crunch time, will we get a new striker and will Torres be dropped!

[Rupert 130]

To my critics - I was watching and supporting Chelsea before you were born. The booers are not representative of the Chelsea I know. I started to post because I was ashamed of the booers. But now I realize they are not representative. The club is lucky to have Benitez and I will continue to follow his career wherever he goes although I think there is a high chance he will stay at Chelsea for a year or two if we are lucky.

On another thread you say it makes you mad when a poster criticizes the booers because the "away supporters" booers "have earned the right". Wrong! The booers are not only the "away" supporters. Rafa was booed at home. And even if the supporters were traveling it does not earn them the right to anything, least of all to calling a decent man and internationally respected coach "fat", "cunt" and "waiter".. It is the sort of thing one might expect from those who hate the club. By your twisted logic the booers have earned the right to turn on anyone at the club wherever their hate leads. You can twist and turn as much as you like but you and the other haters do not represent the Chelsea I know. Meanwhile, Rafa has brought winning ways back to Chelsea, a tighter defence, a faster attack and a backbone. Long may he continue!

It is nothing to do with benitez but are u really 75 ?

Apparently, Benitez said this to the Spanish media...

Rafael Benítez appeared to hint that Real Madrid were interested in him taking over at the club should José Mourinho leave the Bernabéu in the summer.

Asked about life after Chelsea by the Spanish radio station Onda Cero, the interim manager at Stamford Bridge said: "My future? I know things but I am not going to say anything about Real Madrid because I think I shouldn't do so."

"We know there's interest from Germany and Real Madrid," the presenter said, to which Benítez replied: "I don't know." The interviewer responded with: "I do ..." to which Benítez replied: "I know things but I think I shouldn't say ..."

And perhaps unsurprisingly, Mourinho reacted by saying...

"I don't know where he's going and nor do I care, but as a fan of Chelsea, I hope he wasn't thinking about Real Madrid during the game against Corinthians.
