RAWK Goes into Meltdown 2014/2015 - The "We go again" Edition

You can accuse virtually any manager of winning the CL of getting lucky, it's such an irrelevant point. I seem to recall Paul Scholes having a disallowed goal for one of the worst offside decisions in recent history, but you don't get people undermining Mourinho winning the CL because of that incident.
Also worth noting prior to Liverpool Benitez did a commendable job at Valencia, won the league twice and the UEFA Cup. He's doing a good job with Napoli as well. He is a very good manager in my opinion, and vastly underrated on here. Ok, he's no Mourinho or Ancelotti but he's definitely in the tier of managers below them.
I wanna say a fair few people do call that W lucky. The Inter one maybe less so but there's always a hint of luck in winning in Europe.
Maybe they have seen this.

Heard some whoppers in my time but a RedCafe member saying that Benitez got lucky with the squad he inherited to win the CL is one of the best I've ever heard.
5th in the league. Jerzy Dudek. Djimi Feckwit Traore.
Seriously, let's try to keep the scousers as the lunatics around here.

MaybeI totally agree with you, I rate Benitez as a manager, ok he's not in the world class category but he is a good manager IMO.
No wonder you see whoppers when you can't feeking read properly!!
I said he got lucky for a number of reason, one of which was that he inherited some decent players. Hyppia, riise, gerrard, hamman, Alonso were all decent players and most instrumental in that CL win. Get your facts right.
That's a bit unfair tbh. Gerrard might not be anywhere near as good as he used to be, but at his peak, he was world class (unless you have a very narrow definition of world class)
Reading tends to be easier than typing, which you can't seem to do, so you're not the person to throwing that insult around. I can read fine broseph.
Doesn't matter whether it's one reason or one of many, it's still absolute nonsense.
Gerrard, in his pomp, was definitely world class. No two ways about it.
He clearly was.
I'm all for winding up Barney but there comes a point where you just make yourself look more of a mug.

I read worse on Bluemoon the other day. I am hopeful the person was on the wind-up although I was too sickened to read any more, but the suggestion was sacking Pellegrini, replacing him with Tony Pulis then promoting Yaya Toure to assistant manager. This would only be a short term measure of course, just until Guardiola became available.
You realise he signed Alonso, right?
That was a brilliant signing.
The majority of sides who feature in the champions league have at least a few decent players. It doesn't take away from his accomplishment of winning it.
Updated.
Nope, thought Alonso was aready there, albeit, just.
Great signing by Rafa, top player
RAWK quotes please. Take you bickering to the serious Liverpool thread.

At least half of the posts here have nothing to do with RAWK, despite several reminders since RAWK goes into meltdown Version 1.0
I'm assuming the dippers have escaped from their own threads again?

You can tell it's fake by the fact that he doesn't say "5 times" nearly enough.
