will be a walk in the park for you guys

Don't know. We're definately in a better position than in the first match, though. Ajax must win this, we can rely on a good defense and counter-attacks if we're not acting stupid and concede one early. Great position for a team with Reus, Götze, etc.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

Rafa will just be another AVB. It will take too long for our team to change to his more tactical game and Roman will fire him for Pep/Mou or Grant to come in :lol

 

[Salvadora]

English is a difficult language to learn and lets face it, Tevez isn't intelligent.

 

[Ushojax]

GuillemBalague: Rafa Benitez will be the next Chelsea manager

 

[rodvik]

Tevez been in England for 6 years can't speak a word of English.

Idiot.

Given the kinds of things he says in Spanish thats probably for the best.

Mancini next to be fired???

Question to Liverpool gaf. I'm planning to go watch a game in December, most probably the home game versus Fulham. The other times I've seen games, I haven't had to worry about tickets, since others took care of that, and I just payed what it cost. However, this time, they can't fix any tickets, and I'm I'm wondering what's the best way to get a hold of tickets without burning holes in my pockets.

Why do opposition fans hate Rafa so much? It honestly doesn't make any sense.

Ask around on Twitter mate, there's usually some people looking to get rid at face value, also if you're registered on RAWK they have a ticket forum where you can pick up spares.

I'd say Mancini will leave at the end of the season when they have the opportunity to try for Pep.

 

[Wilbur]

Lol I read this headline:

as £940,000 for fingering a teacher. Where is my mind.

Anyway COME ON MADRID

 

[Salvadora]

Team in full:
Szczęsny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Arteta, Wilshere, Cazorla, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Giroud, Podolski.

Subs: Mannone, Ramsey, Coquelin, Arshavin, Jenkinson, Gervinho, Gibbs.

GIBBS IS ON THE BENCH

I believe that first team is your best. Maybe Walcott as one of the front 4, but yeah.

Hmm, so I have to join the madhouse? I guess I'll give it a go if it means getting tickets for a decent price.

Easiest ways:

1. Keep checking the tickets page on the official site - tickets for most games will usually go to general sale at some point before the match, usually a couple of weeks or so I think.
2. The ticket exchange on RAWK usually has some spare tickets when people can't go, which they sell for face value.
3. There's the @LFCfacevalue Twitter which seems a similar idea but I've never used it.

We dont hate him, we dont mind having fun with him though.

Sometimes people think I'm talking in a different language but no, it's just a Northern Irish accent. Not even a strong one at that!

Yeah Wenger is really going for it considering Montpellier are already out.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Now that Rafa is back we can listen to him talking about "Meester Ferguson" like the bitter man he is.

I'm kinda excited. The managers have been quite friendly with each other for the last couple of years. I see Benitez clashing with Fergie and Mancini for sure.

 

[Clegg]

Rafa was a bit of a prick if you think about it.

Didn't get along with anyone.

 

[norinrad]

Tevez been in England for 6 years can't speak a word of English.

Idiot.

lol he thought he could move to Spain or something except no club wants him. Too expensive

Not being bumchums with the managerial merry-go-round is not the same as not getting along with them

Ugh, I'm honestly pissed about this.

I'd love to see Mou move to United and fuck Mancini up. Too bad Pep will probably already be there by the time Mou goes back to EPL.

Edit: Anyone got a good stream for Madrid-City?

Mancini vs Benitez could be really interesting considering they are both ex-Inter managers. (That is to say if Mancini lasts much longer.)

Spoiler

Redknapp to City.

If Arsenal were still competitive I'm sure we would've had Wenger talking shit

Not really

 

[Vivalaraza]

That clown Ian McGarry is giving it on Twitter saying he was first to call Rafa to Chelsea.

Last night he said RDM was not going to be sacked.

Idiot.

Not really

Rafael Benitez is a prick.

Get that in your head.

 

[Meier]

madrid to win easily today.

I don't think we'll make a move until this summer and then try to sign Pep. If it's between City and Chelsea, surely a club with Khaldoon as the chairman is far more desirable (let alone having his old co-horts alongside him).

:lol :lol
Rafa was worse than Leonardo(who isn't even a manager).

 

[Feorax]

Its official. Chelsea website confirm Benitez as manager until the end of the season.

http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/2987554/title/benitez-appointed

 

[Vivalaraza]

It's official.

Benitez is Chelsea manager.

 

[Oxx]

Rafa out.

 

[Clegg]

Sky Sports are saying that Josh King will move to Blackburn on a permanent basis in January.

It's probably the right move as I can't really see him breaking through at United.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

I wonder what FSG will feel like if Rafa does well

 

[Broder Salsa]

"Chelsea Football Club can confirm Rafael Benitez has been appointed interim first-team manager until the end of the season."

 

[Meier]

City are officially calling it a 3-4-1-2 rather than a 3-5-2. Zaba as a CB over Lescott.. Mancini is a crazy, crazy dude.

 

[Wilbur]

I can't believe after what went on with Mourinho and Benitez, after the Aston Villa supporters didn't want him, after he grew that goatee, that he's now at Chelsea.

Hot damn this is beautiful.

 

[Clegg]

Interim first team manager.

Chelsea are treating Rafa like a chump.

Going for Mou/Pep in the summer.

 

[Vivalaraza]

:lol that is basically a 3-5-2

 

[Fry]

Torres will score like crazy now

 

[Oxx]

Hope he does well. Or really badly. No half-measures.

 

[dc89]

LOL AT CHELSEA!

Not Rafa. I actually think he's a top class manager who was unfairly portrayed in the media in England.

 

[Phantast2k]

Don't know. We're definately in a better position than in the first match, though. Ajax must win this, we can rely on a good defense and counter-attacks if we're not acting stupid and concede one early. Great position for a team with Reus, Götze, etc.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I feel. I'm optimistic, yet there's still unease.Ajax is not to be fucked with.
But it's reassuring to have Reus on the team who's almost guaranteed to shine in away games where there are lots of counterattack opportunities.

----
Oh shit, Torres to become best scorer in EPL 12/13 :O
