At least we had fans like you to make it as hard as possible for him.

I've criticised the guy and he does have tactical limitations, and I'm glad he's gone...but give it a fucking rest. This squad was designed to reach top four this season - anyone who thinks differently is a fucking moron and I couldn't give a fuck where Robbie got us in his few months in charge because IT WASN'T GOING TO LAST.

We were directionless, relying on moments of inspiration from players like Mata and Hazard. We got knocked out of the Champions League not through bad luck but simply because there were two teams in our group who were better than us. This was a stop-gap season, a moment of transition before Guardiola came and boy did that fuck us up. We're lucky Mourinho is coming back.

Despite all that, we managed to finish top three in the league and win a European Cup. I hated the idea of Rafa being manager, but he did a decent job and now he's left us in a position from where we can challenge for the league next season. I'm not going to miss him, and I'm certainly not going to miss some of the absolutely classless shit that a minority (and it is a small fucking minority) of fans have come out with over the last six months.

He did not do a decent job as I have explained. He won a cup - er...so did Swansea and Wigan , he did the barest minimum. Its a forum to make opinions - I am not saying to you give yours a 'fucking rest' so dont be so fucking lippy. You change your opinions like the fucking wind anyway.

I accept, and you should as well, most fans at games couldnt stand the fat fucker, and if some on the internet want to lick his fat sweaty crack., so be it. Get over it. Time to move on now and welcome the Special one :blue scalf:
