Couldn't resist, could you Chopper?
Welcome back!
why thank you kind sir.
You're right, once I heard the news I thought I'd dip my toe in the old girl(RAWK) and see how's she's taking it - not well apparently.
Lets not kid ourselves here though, when we play them, he'll be out to stick one over us, make no mistakes about that and so he should, this is football, there is no sentiment in football and nor should there be. We should be out to turn 'his' chelsea team over well and truly and once the whistle blows, it's game on and lets do them.
I'm surprised it's took this long for him to take up a managerial post and to be fair to him, he'll be out to prove a point to Roman and there is no dangerous a man, than a man out to prove a point, so I expect chelsea to be a stronger force once he gets going.
One thing I have to chuckle at though, is the chelsea fans - it must of been like that scene in blazzing saddles when they find out the news today...the new sheriff is a.... Benitez! " Up yours Benitez".. and after the first game with all the boos and loading of guns, he'll be in the changies, shell shocked with his deputy, staring into the air with the deputy whispering into his ear "what did you expect?....hay rafa, welcome, come and marry my daughter?...."
Certainly added an extra dynamic to the season, well and truly.
Rodgers just pawn in game of life
