Ah, fuck off.
We're not all cold hearted and jaded ya see..
I think someone said it well the other day; With Rafa, you always knew you'd win a European game - and now we have that again - We feel that way with Klopp now, but in the Premier league. It's a great feeling to have a manager that's like a 12th man.
How I miss those mid week games in the Benitez era. Running home from work early to grab the second half, of the many games v Arsenal in Europe. Or the time I was on me Honeymoon, and watched the 2005 Chelsea match. Sigh. Those were fun days.

And I love how you like to stir up shit.
We only played Arsenal twice in Europe?
It was the right decision to give him the boot, he had lost the plot.
four times (two legs).
Nah a mistakes a mistake. We've had to live with the consequences for a few years. Hopefully we've turned a corner on the self inflicted damage.
Apparently the fans were singing about it during the game
'The football was secondary as word went around of what was happening and some fans chanted: "Benitez, look at Twitter!" Cheryshev was eventually substituted at the start of the second half, Mateo Kovacic coming on in his place.'

Like I said, our big mistake was not getting a world class manager after Benitez was sacked. What we did was like Chelsea replacing Mourinho with Pardew. It was a freaking joke.
After five, I repeat, five years of messing around we finally got a real top class manager in charge and we're currently reaping the benefits of it.
^^^^^^^ This. Sorry jexy, Rafa had to go when he did. The fact that we replaced him with an overpromoted dodderer doesn't change that.
This!
I liked Rafa, still do, but he had to go.
As for the Chernyshev incident, isn't it the fault of the club secretary or whoever on the staff keeps track of suspensions etc? Rafa or no Rafa, I wouldn't expect the manager to have to occupy himself with such basic stuff, especially at a club like Real where they probably have a whole backroom army.
We can add this to the long long list of stuff Rafa fucked up that people want him absolved of.
Exactly, it's not Rafa's fault? How the hell is he supposed to keep track of suspensions?
The ones responsible for this are the ones dishing out suspensions, the Spanish FA.
I mean the English FA keeps track of suspensions and even potential suspensions on their website.

There was only one time we were drawn together wasn't there? Hence two games. Unless I'm having a massive brainfart. Drew 1-1 at their place, won 4-2 at Anfield.
The reason to why it was right to sack Rafa was that he had no energy left. For years he had to do not only the managers job but also the job that our CEO should have done. He could have negotiated many weeks to get a player signed and one of our owners had said yes and then when the job was done and then the other owner stopped the deal and he had to start all over again. He had no real CEO that helped him. Only the joke(Purslow) that when he got Roy he sang, I got Roy, I got Roy I got Rooooooooy, I got Roy, I got Roy, I got Rooooooy.
One thing I remember was when Rafa sat and watched one game from the stand because he was to sick to train and coach the team. The doctors had said no and Rafa was in a lot of pain but he still watched the game.
Rafa is one of us and always will be. He turned down Real a few times even that we had owners like Gillett and Hicks. Why? He love the club. He did what Xabi didn't do, turned down Real. If Rafa had left a year or two earlier than he did then we would probably be playing in the Championship now and not in the PL.
