Thank you Rafa...
« on: April 14, 2010, 01:35:42 am »
I've hogged this site tonight. I've been spouting right off, and, including this one, I've started 2 threads in the one day. That's as many as I've started since joining RAWK after getting home from Athens. But a thought just occured to me...

When SOS appeal for an email barrage against the owners, loads of us do it without question - and rightly so.

In fact, before SOS even existed some of us started email campaigns against the owners to the banks and their PR firms, etc. Some of us even tried an official merchandise boycott. All well and good, but fuck them bastards. We aren't going to alter their views. Not that we should stop fighting them, but...

I think it's time we showed our boss some gratitude for his fight an all.

I've had the piss taken out of me for this in here and elsewhere. So what. I don't care. I've sent Rafa postcards 3 times... once to thank him for a great victory when I was made up, once to tell him to keep his chin up when he must have been feeling the weight of the world on him, and once just to say alright mate because I felt like.

It's not hard to do...
Rafa Benitez,
Care of
Liverpool FC
Anfield Road
Liverpool
Merseyside
L4 OTH 

It's no big deal. A quick line of appreciation and support. It takes about ten minutes, and a stamp.

Imagine how made up he'll be to see them all in his office, especially if they arrive from all over the world. I know it would be a proper tonic to me, especially when the world, it's wife and it's dog is against me.

So, if you support the lad, show him. It only takes a minute and a couple of pence. Get it done. I'm sending mine in the morning.

If you don't agree, no problem. Keep it to yourself and leave those who do in peace to get it on with it. If that's beyond you... thanks a lot for your contributions. Register it here in the empty space...

... and I'll lash it in the bin and file it under B.

What if I'm wrong and Rafa's a twat?

Nah, messing aside mate, I had nothing better to do. I was home alone, with a few cans and all the family was out and about. So, I had nothing better to do. It's time for bed now anyway, but you know the dance... it's no big deal for any of us to give a few moments of our time to a man who has gave us so much.
