rafa is a legend, however he is good at grinding out cup wins, personally i'd hate to play chelsea in the fa cup
i meant rafa is a legend in a comedy sense
Yeah it's such a myth that they could have won the league that season, (08/09) they were top in december but it was never as neck and neck as people in the media have since made out, we won it by 4 points but once we were on top the gap was always 4-6 points until the end of the season.
They scrapped through a lot of games and for 3/4 played terrible football, they drew 14 games and were lucky not to lose half of them.

bruceandpally, I thought that as well.
No doubt they were a good side, but people always say they should have won it that year which is rubbish. We were a better team and deserved winners, despite the two losses to them. Us and Barca were the two standout sides in Europe that year.
They had a good spine to be fair to them Reina, Mascherano, Alonso with Gerrad supporting Torres, it was just the rest of the team and the manager that wasn't up to scratch.
Agreed. Although they'll tell you the manager is world class - which they've been saying now he's at Chelsea.
I had an argument earlier with FJM and he couldn't accept that Rafa did a bad job at Inter. He was blaming everything on injuries. And said he did a good job.
