[EU] Europa League 2012/13 (2 Viewers)

[Jem83]

this is hard luck, maybe its a curse

Yeah, that must really be a curse of some sort.

In 2004 they had to watch Porto run around with the European Cup and now they have to watch old-boy David Luiz celebrate in front of their eyes. It must truly suck to be a Benfica supporter in european competitions. Hopefully they get it right some time

We are semi-cursed in Europe as well, so perhaps they can get their 1st against us

Maybe they should stop buying fancie Argies who are ineffective and showpony's.

It didn't take much for Chelsea to score two goals agains them, Garay's injury screwed them but they should've decided this game in the first half imo.

Rafa Benitez

Most underrated and under appreciated manager in Europe.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

He is a fat useless sack of crap. I hope he does join Napoli, he would fuck them over immensely.

 

[Trequartista]

He won two Spanish Leagues with Valencia, a Champions League with Liverpool while making them very competitive every season until his last one.
When he arrived at Chelsea, the fans crucified him from the onset because of remarks he had said about Chelsea when he was at Liverpool. However, he managed to take a dispirited and disorganized Chelsea to 3rd spot and a Europa League triumph, a quite decent job overall.

The only stain on his career was his passage to Inter where his insistence on making his players train with weighs caused a major injury crisis. Rafa is a top manager. His next club will be lucky to have him. Benitez would be a significant improvement over Mazzarri for Napoli.

I'm sure @Enron would agree.

 

[Enron]

Rafa's a good manager. Whether you like him as a person or not.

 

[Trequartista]

Rafa is better than what Chelsea deserves.

 

[Bjerknes]

Didn't people here want Del Neri over Benitez at one point? Despite the Inter debacle, that's just foolish nonsense.

Oh dear.

That can't be true.

 

[Enron]

Yeah, that was a big thing at one point.

 

[Bjerknes]

Bias. Or possibly even something worse.

People say I'm a fascist because I support my own country, then they claim that Juventus should only be Italian and hold grudges against players/managers that aren't. That's funny stuff.

 

[Enron]

A lot of simple folks.

indeed. you dont win that many different titles with different teams by accident.

i dont count his inter gig. if we go by that logic then Ronaldo, Lippi, Pirlo, Cannavaro were all failures in their whole careers.

Don't you want Obama assassinated?

 

[Trequartista]

Don't you want Obama assassinated?

I believe he wants him to get impeached, not killed.

So why are some media outlets calling Chelsea the "first club to hold Europe's two major club trophies at the same time" when Porto won the Euro Cup in '03 and the CL in '04?

Because they're an English club?

I mean, if they're just pussying out over one week, just say so.
