This just doesn't look like a good fit.

God help Madrid.

I can see it now, Rafa subs Ronaldo out of a game...Scenes.

Edit: My point exactly lmaooo

It's inevitable that we'll get Real Madrid in the Champions League next season. Mourinho v Benitez. Mourinho v Real Madrid. Chelsea v Benitez.

[Madmax 9,219]

I don't like people being so dismissive of Benitez. The fans and him were never going to get along (I was part of that initially) but ultimately we did okay in the league and got another European trophy out of that year so for me, he has my respect.

He was crying on his unveiling as the new RM Manager.

I bet that's his face when he saw the size of the Cafeteria at the Bernabeu.

[iseah100 5,612]

He'll be gone by Feb.

Imagine replacing Don Carlo with that fat imbecile.

It's like swapping your Ferrari for a 15 year old Citroën saxo

Actually it's not, they are a lot closer than people think.

Both manager's have fundamental flaws that often creep up in a league campaign (which is why neither have great record's at winning title's) but both are capable of pulling the rabit out of the hat in cup's.

Carlo has won league titles in 3 countries ,, that's not flawed in my book , AND look how many rabbits he has pulled . YOU are far too dismissive of him.

I'm sure if Benitez had the squads Carlo had he could have won a few more CL's.

3 title's in 2 decades isn't great with the team's he's had, and his teams do have a habit of getting complacent at awfully inappropriate times like when we were at the top of our league then went on our worst run for ten years, say what you like about Jose, but that would never happen under his control.

He is a good manager but not on the same level as Mou, Pep, Fergie (when he was managing) in my opinion.

He has been a manager for 16 years ,not two decades . Your Maths is as flawed as your English . And your logic is flawed by your bias .

Quick question to the admins.

Kojo, TOPTB and many more got banned for personal post's like these yet this moron gets away with it time after time, im not one for these type of post's but he has been getting away with it for year's and never gets brought up on it, not like other's do anyway.

So can someone please enlighten me as to why no action has ever got taken against him? that post isn't a one off.

you use the MORON and accuse me of of what " correcting your mistakes?" PLEASE do not use apostrophes in normal plurals.

Whats next for Carlo? City perhaps? I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to return to England.

Gonna be a spectacular game if we face Real in the CL and Jose and Benitez clash

[mikeholiday 209]

I just watched the copa final. Anyone else feel that the bilbao players were too sensitive about Neymar's "showboating"?

I dont know what the trick is called pardon me... But how was that different from an elastico? Or a rabona?

Think both he and Klopp will take time off.

It would be a smart move. If they are thinking of England, it would do them a world of good to prepare mentally.

I agree. I guess he just has that attitude about him that gets on player's nerves all the time, and as the anger builds, the slightest trick can make it explode.

[Jase 43,479]

Both Ancelotti and Klopp have already said they will take time off from football. Ancelotti has a back surgery coming up while Klopp wants a rest after seven years at Dortmund.
