Asking the same question is starting to get on my tits. I am sure they have asked the same question 5 times!
Why can't City be as good as my FM City?!
Because Mancini isn't the manager?
Too easy bro
José Mourinho

So grim.
Why can't City be as good as my FM City?!
To be fair, that group is easier than the one City were in real life...
It's almost the one from last season and you still didn't qualify! =P
Anzhi 2-0
Why cant bayern be as good?
Why can't City be as good as my FM City?!
Why cant bayern be as good?
They battered me at the Allianz. 3-1. I won at The Etihad.
I thought you were from the UK. Mind somewhat blown.
Whenever you feel like sharing your tragic story, Bla, we'll be here to support you.
Udinese are so shit this year.

Fuck you, Wolfswinkel. That was a gift from their defence, we won't get a better chance than that.
He must have bet on Spurs against Arsenal.

What's the logic then?
Benitez said "Chelsea fans do not have passion". That is a direct quote, or it might have been "Chelsea fans lack passion". Same thing.
Just because we might think he is right and Chelsea have shit fans - that doesn't mean Chelsea fans shouldn't think he is a dick for saying it.
I don't think Chelsea fans are doing themselves or their clubs any favour by turning against him already and I think he is a good manager, but, after he has said that - are you actually truly and genuinely surprised that they do not like him?
How would you feel if somebody said Barcelona fans are rubbish and then became manager?
Benitez does not need to speak favourably about Chelsea when he isn't manager of Chelsea, of course not. But Chelsea fans don't have to like him either. He said they're shit fans. They are not going to be happy. It's pretty simple.
They will shut the fuck up fast if he gets them winning...fans are quite fickle.
Whatever any club thinks of any manager, if he was to win them stuff that would (that SHOULD) shut them up. I think a lot of Chelsea fans have a right to be bitter about him coming in, based on the stuff he said about the club, but surely the same set of fans will support him if he organizes the team and wins a decent amount of games.
Exactly. Hell - even I would welcome Sir Alex with open arms if he won us games. Sir Alex .

For sure.
Just as quickly as Liverpool fans would turn on Benitez if he came out with some shit like "Chelsea fans are as good as Liverpool fans" before they play each each.
Definitely wouldn't be dismissed as just something football managers say then.
I'm surprised at how strong that team is.
Do you reckon a big(ger) club will to try to snatch Ben Arfa next year?
Virtually guaranteed.
Totally surreal.

At least Rubin and Anzhi are trying to save the coefficient this season. Solid work!
He'll be out in 4 months.
Props for keeping the same facial hair for years.

There's a team in our 5-a-side league called:
Shakthar Senseless.
:lol :lol :lol
Shakthar Senseless.
:lol :lol :lol
That´s true, it´s a shame to see how the City is wasting another season in the Champions.
Everything is Mancini fault imo ;Aguero, Tevez, Silva, Ballotelli, Yaya,Hart, Kompany...
How on earth this team didn´t win a fucking match? You already know the answer.
He'll be out in 4 months.
He doesn't look happy.

People say a lot of things...I understand the Chelsea fans reaction to something like that. But he was elevating Liverpoool fans in his comments rather than just directly calling out the Chelsea fans. Not the best way to show his love for clearly the best fans in football
But you can see what he was trying to do. Anyway, water under the bridge...winning and playing attractive football is all they should care about right? Judge him by those merits...I say.
He'll be out in 4 months.
I didn't ask for this
It's like he done a deal with the devil. He'll only be a red to me
Am I late in posting this?!

That was nice from Labyad.
Hah, yeah I posted the ESPN article two days ago or so. Amazing.

Over on the Chelsea forum I infrequently visit they're starting to come round to him already. Quite hilarious. He comes out in a presser, drops a few buzzwords, and now a large portion of the complainers can't get enough Rafa.
This amuses some, who feel superior, because they've had the good sense to continue to hate him since they heard of his appointment.
Football fans are unreal.
As I said in my post over there. RDM is out and there's nothing we as fans can do about it. Truth is, he probably wasn't good enough in the first place. Some luck and top players can do that. He was a classy bloke and club legend, but it is what it is. If Rafa steps up and produces the goods, all the complainers will quickly be silenced and they days of hatred will be a distant memory. In Rafa we have a great coach (my opinion of course). And disliking him because of something he said at the time of being a rival clubs manager is pointless.

Benitez is definitely a better manager than RDM and it's not like sacking the incumbent manager out of the blue is breaking with tradition, so really, Chelsea have just upgraded.
To be honest Rafa needs this. He wanted the Liverpool job back and that clearly was never seriously on the table. His legacy was tainted in the Hicks / Gillette war...and the Inter debacle. He's taking this job to rebuild his reputation. A manager always has something to prove...which is why as long as Roman keeps firing them they will keep lining up....
