Excellent article. Sums it up perfectly for me .....even the calling him Benitez bit. Enjoyed that read.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

well written but a little trite, I dont think I ever want to be familiar with this man, as aperson, a mangager or anything else. Dont remember anyone wanting to call BFS 'Sammy'.

 

[Johnniepk]

Worth a read just for the Gbabmin and 3 points line. ?

 

[LeeCarsley]

good read mate, described my views on it perfectly.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Brilliant read that, summed it up well.

Support the club but not him, it isnt difficult.

If football and its supporters were rational, a name might not mean much.

But we're not and it does.

The author says his Ma uses 'tainted' as one of her less offensive terms for R B. I'd go with that.

I call him R.A.F.A all the time.. and I would like to be able to do so on here too.

 

[Harryflashman]

The manager for me , not sure what that tells us

 

[LocalNative]

Football fans are so easily triggered. A name setting people off ffs

 

[Yarrgh]

So we're OK calling him TFF?

So long as we are not embarrassing ourselves i no longer care who's in charge of the team. Life is simply too short to bear grudges, especially over something that used to be so magnificent as a sport but is now so trivial as a pantomime for Sky to collect cash.

Crack on Beni - and if the Sky executives choose to write us a script to win a pot and boost their TV ratings, so much the better.

Time to grow up and stop the bitterness.

I didn't want RB when his name was touted, but he has done a lot in his first few games to make me start to believe - a heck of a lot more optimistic than I was.

He's done well so far.. interviews and press conferences he's not put a foot wrong..
