anyone got the picture where he is eyeing up the bird?

I wonder has anyone got the pic of the mum getting the daughter to take a pic of her with Rafa.
I'll always keep in my heart the good times I've had here, the strong and loyal support of the fans in the tough times and the love from Liverpool. I have no words to thank you enough for all these years and I am very proud to say that I was your manager.

Looking through this thread, with my iTunes library on shuffle, when The Cure -Pictures Of You came on, not ashamed to say i've just shed a few tears.

Cheers Rafa, you were boss in so many ways. Forza Inter of wherever you end up

At least he still wore a shirt. I would be devestated seeing MON in his 80's tracksuit on the sidelines. That alone should be judgement enough of his lack of class.

Honestly don't know what to say. This picture brought a tear to my eye, I bet it's how he is feeling now


Thanks for everything Rafa, YNWA. Here are some great pics of him.













Let us never forget Rafael Benitez and what he did for us. A fighter full of guts and passion. A gentleman full of class and dignity. A football manager full of intelligence and pure genius. A Legend.
Adios Rafa, buena suerte.

A picture is worth a million words - Never seemed so true.

Simply stunned, I'll miss Rafa - he really was something else.

At times we didnt deserve him and we were lucky to have him.

oddly enough, if i have to pick one picture that represent my fond memory of his reign, it would be this :


CJ        : "Morton, this is President Bartlett"
Bartlett : "Hey Morton"
Morton (stunned) : "WOW"
Bartlett  : "Well Said"

Indeed.
I also really liked Houllier, I think he had a heart for the club too, but towards the end of his leadership the football got so bad and negative that it felt like his time was up.
And although Benitez has also made mistakes, some small and some bigger, I never had the feeling we were gonna desert him.
He was a real unique character in the game, his charm in a way went further then just being a football coach.
He seemed to relate to the people of Liverpool in a way that's not often seen in football anymore.
He had something "Shankly" about him.
I can't believe he was put out with the trash.
We had a really bad season, but part of that was beyond anyone's control, we were plagued with injury.
But Benitez didn't deserve to be cast aside like this.
I think this nasty afair puts a bit of shame on Liverpool football club.

the man got the city, the fans, the club. the pricks above him do not. if he won the league in 09 he'd be fine and he could tell those twats like broughton to make all the commercial deals they want but leave the footy to him.
