Is it all getting a bit too much for the Liverpool boss?
The signs of a man on the verge of an emotional collapse are relatively easy to spot - beard growth, an earring, weeping in the car. And this season, Rafa Benitez is showing all the signs of a gentleman on his way to a pirate’s hoop, as he has now ticked two of the three boxes.
With rumours abound that if he doesn’t do it again in Europe, he’s going to be slung on the streets like an unwanted Christmas kitten, the strain has clearly taken it’s toll on the man from Spain, as he was spotted either a. sobbing, or b. casually rubbing his eye, on his way from the Liverpool training ground yesterday.
Might this be one Christmas kitten readying for the cold/blustery February nights? So to speak…

This is poor! He’s just scratching his face. Might not even be him, I’d say it was Paddy from Max and Paddy.
9 spider // Feb 18, 2008 at 7:56 pm

Scousers fail to take a joke
Usually renowned for their jovial nature, Liverpudlians have failed to see the funny side of their teams shocking home form and acute nervousness at having backed the wrong man.
11 Duke // Feb 18, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Sad isn’t it, how fickle fans and press are.
The press have hounded Benitez this season because there is no Mourinio…so they now need someone else to pick on.
This fella won the European Cup for Liverpool, and Liverpool are having a bad season granted, does this call for his sacking…if you believe the press yeah…but the press just wanna see people sacked because its news and makes them money!

25 DJ Devin // Feb 19, 2008 at 8:15 am
Tears of joy and memmories to die with are what this man has brought me and many a Liverpool fan. He is a human being just trying to do his best so leave him alone!! He has proven himself before and deserves to be given the chance to do it again! He is working with smaller budgets…. players like Risse, Kewell, Alonso, Kuyt, Aurelio, Momo etc etc all letting him down woefully! He tried to sign Heinze, Agger is out the whole season, Torres has been injured and rightfully rested, THE NEW BOARD are MORONS, Packo has left, Other teams have strengthened…. Should i go on! Shame on you fickle so called supporters. We are forgetting the LFC way with things like our dirty linen in public showings and cowardesque’ showing to Rafa. What if…. he would go on to win the Champs League (AGAIN) you would be singing his praises wouldn’t you you two faced traitors!!
26 The Peoples Club // Feb 19, 2008 at 10:30 am
Well I think Rafa has not taken too kindly that he’s managing a small club now, nothing to play for and their nearest rivals Everton are playing some fantastic football. It just shows what a good manager can do to his team by spending half of what Liverpool have spent and are sitting nicely in 4th place!
27 TorreSS // Feb 19, 2008 at 10:51 am
Can anyone please explain to me, how anyone can conclude that the person in the picture is crying…???
28 andy // Feb 19, 2008 at 12:01 pm
you can really see the tears can’t you. judging by the picture (and using the fucked up logic of the cock who wrote this) he also appears to have shat his trousers and done a wee in his footwell. get a life please!
29 johan // Feb 19, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Give him a break.real men do cry once in while.He loves his team so much that he shed tears when they perform like division three team..he cried because he trusted them so much and yet they caused him so much headache..let him cry amd release some tension. we are all human
30 James // Feb 19, 2008 at 12:42 pm
This website is a shambles, full of utter nonsense.
31 DAVE // Feb 19, 2008 at 12:46 pm
apparently there are rumours doing the rounds that last week alex ferguson blew his nose and ian dowie cut his toenails.
32 Roofnails // Feb 19, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Its truly believable that Rafa sneaked Reina into his room as a substitute for his performance-enhancing substances which were confiscated when he looked at Mourinho with a mean face. Since then, its rumoured that without the former chelsea man, Rafa can hardly get it up for the liverpool fans!! He is indeed crying. We all recall the days when he was a man.
33 MAGICSPACEMONKEY // Feb 19, 2008 at 1:12 pm
He’s scratching his eyes in disbelief at seeing Everton (temporarily) above Liverpool and the fact they are in still somehow in Europe! How many time’s must we give these small club Toffee boys a whipping before they get it into thier knuckledragging skulls, they are and always will be the crap half of Liverpool (until they do liverpool a favour and move to the wirral).
34 Roofnails // Feb 19, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Whats up with this site. Everyone doesn’t have to know Reina called it off with Rafa since his neck is on the line. Let the perv cry in pieces. Please leave him alone!!
35 The Peoples Club // Feb 19, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Jesus lad, you really are a fuckin Magic Space Monkey if you take any of these comments seriously. I say keep him in the job, he’s doing a Greame Souness and fucking the Red Shite up good and proper. Liverpool were virtually unbeatable unti Souness came in and fucked everythin up. You’ve never been the same since. We’re just happy sitting above you while the Kopites are whinging! Evertime you hear a so called Liverpool Fan being interviewed, they’ve either got a Manc, Cockney or Irish Accent. are there any Liverpool fans in our great city or is it true, “Everton are the peoples club of Liverpool” The best comment ever and the red Shite hate it! Ha ha
36 RedbyDawn // Feb 19, 2008 at 5:51 pm
The Peoples Club???
It must be true seeing as a Golum-looking, ginger, scottish twat with no ties or prior knowledge of the city and its culture said it in his first major press conference after managing you toffee-nosed cunts for all of 6 fucking seconds.
I’ve lost a lot of gaith in Rafa but I’d give him another year if he sorts 4th place and has a good run in the champions league just so he can develop all our shit hot kids that are playing blinders in the reserves.
37 Bouncer // Feb 20, 2008 at 8:36 am
Paupers club more like - they spend 5 minutes in 4th position and all of a sudden they are world beaters. Sooner you fuck off back to Tescopolis in Kirby the better - you’ll always be a small club with that attitude. .. precious twat.
WAlk on Redmen - Blue and white shite!
Oh and by the way - i reckon I must know more about Liverpool history than you feller - the whole Liverpool population is a diaspora of one kind or another. Go look it up … http://www.dictionary.com .. you fucking Whopper!
38 The Peoples Club! // Feb 20, 2008 at 9:18 am
Ha Ha, see what I mean by people taking these comments a little too seriously.
How the Fuck can you comment on the City when you call yourself afetr Mrs Mangels dog on Neighbours, and use words like “Whopper”
Kirby will be a great move for us as that will be our 3rd ground since 1887, after we gave you Anfield!
Oh go on then, you can have Goodison too.
Big Club? Buy your own fuckin ground then!
39 Bouncer // Feb 20, 2008 at 9:38 am
Who the fuck is Mangels? You really are a sad wee bitter … you sure your allowed to stay up that late? You can judge a ‘man’ by the company he keeps and the way he entertains himself - Everton and Neighbours - says it all really - priceless and embarassing
Everyone knows why the grass doesnt grow in Goodison - its always in the shade!
We already own Goodison - have done for decades!! Everton - just a small club in Kirby.
You fucking WHOPPER :-)
Liverpool (The mighty Reds) - a VERY VERY big and SUCCESSFUL club with a massive fanbase - home and abroad. Everton (The Toffees) … the total opposite
40 The Peoples Club! // Feb 20, 2008 at 10:23 am
Ha Ha, this is brilliant! You kopites are so easy to wind up.
I’m guessing it’s ‘Bouncer’ for other reasons!
Ok let’s see shall we:
Built in 1892, on what was Mere Green field, it is one of the oldest and most historic football grounds in the world and was the first major football stadium in England.
Goodison Park was the first purpose built football stadium in England.
It was the first British sports ground ever to have double-decker stands on all 4 sides and the first to have a 3 tier stand.
It was also the first English league ground to have undersoil heating.
In 1913 it became the first English football ground to be visited by a reigning monarch, King George V.
Everton have hosted more international matches than any other English club.
The legend that was Bobby Moore scored his first International Goal at Goodison Park when England played Poland in the 1966 World Cup
First, First, First, First!
C’mon lad, stop trying to keep up. As you can see, you’ll always be second best
Yes I’m allowed to stay up late, and if you are referring to ‘me’ then I think the correct word/s you should use is “You’re” not “Your” as you stated.
‘You’re’ which is short for ‘You are’.
‘Your’ relates to something which belongs to may in some shape or form!
John Moores is only down the road if you want to get yourself enrolled
C’mon lad, is spell check broken?
Anyway, Bouncer, haven’t you got some ID to check?
Take it easy lad, nice bit of banter!
41 Bouncer // Feb 20, 2008 at 11:13 am
Bloody hell … that is the most pathetic/funniest post I’ve ever seen about football … ever!! That isnt even cluthching at straws … you know Im gonna memorise that as an example of desperation. Im embarassed for you ROTFLMAO
I can see why 4th place is important to you if thats the sort of magnificent stat you’ve got to trot off … I can see why the world stands enthralled by such majestic achievement.
You also neglected to mention the fact that Goodison also has the finest assortment of dog turds to be scattered around the pavements of Gladwys Street of any city in Europe… you have plaque or pennant for that somewhere?
As for the typo - jaysus - Im well aware of the genitive case. Another intellectual leviathan spots a typo and feels superior
The only thing smaller than Everton as a club is the minds of a septic/bitter element of its fans.
Anyway … you’re mum wants you … but listen if you have any more stats like that feel free to post them - very entertaining in a pathetic Alan Partridge sort of way.
Neverton - forever in our shadow
LOL - Double-decker stands, undersoil heating !! FFS
aaaahhhhhh …..I understand now - you’re not taking the piss - your giving it away LOL
42 alan // Feb 20, 2008 at 3:47 pm
well in bouncer…beat them on the pitch…beat them off the pitch…..bitter….know when to keep quiet….didnt your mum tell yer never to pick on someone bigger than yourself…
Rafa?…tears?….could he be laughing at the situation…. finals ,cups,dic buy out…yanks gone? or everton in europe?
43 The Peoples Club // Feb 21, 2008 at 10:58 am
Yep, you said it lad.
Aren’t you stating the obvious? Of course 4th place is important to us, it should be important to you as that’s virtually all you got to play for.
Just for the record, it wasn’t a “typo” as you have stated, it was the correct spelling, just the wrong choice of word!
So therefore, ‘you’re’ wrong with ‘your’ comment/s
Ha Ha, keep them coming lad, this is great!
By the way, great result against Inter Milan
44 The Peoples Club // Feb 22, 2008 at 12:27 pm
The End!
45 RedbyDawn // Feb 28, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Why would you bluenose cunts want 4th place anyway? You’ll only get yourselves knocked out in qualifying again.
You’re all made up cos you’re in 4th but lets face it, Everton are playing to the best of their ability. We’re still gonna take that champions league spot and we’re playing in 2nd gear.
A gulf in class just like always.
46 Jimmy D // Feb 29, 2008 at 12:02 am
Liverpool thought they could play with the big boys this year, only to be reminded that they are playing to the best of their ability, considering they are mostly fighting for 4th spot. wake up liverpool supporters and face reality

48 chelseki // Mar 14, 2008 at 12:28 am
well said jimmy and eeem one more when was the last time liverpool actually won the premiership or had a real challenege for the title, when youre done thinking about it then you can talk;
49 chelseki // Mar 14, 2008 at 12:32 am
personally i dont have nothing agaisnt liverpool but everybody know they are a cup team and simply not good enough to win the premiership, i mean look at how much theyve spent this season and still theyre still dragging for 4th place that they are not even guaranteed to get you know going to old trafford, stamford bridge eeeeem sorry lads but i hate to say this if you are a liverpool fan people are not gonna come at u as long as you know your place to cut a long story short i think derby has a better chance of staying than liverpool being 4th in the premier league.
50 chelseki // Mar 14, 2008 at 12:34 am
ooooooooooooooh really funny ac
51 chelseki // Mar 14, 2008 at 12:35 am

52 Dusty // Mar 14, 2008 at 1:44 pm
think he has just heard the champions league draw and is laughing his head off, gooners who are always shit in champs league, then chelski who are the semi final bottlers! looking forward to big tough JT crying on the pitch again ha ha mug
53 Comeback Kings // Mar 31, 2008 at 4:33 pm
I laughed. Guess some people dont have a sense of humour. Dusty, 1st english club to beat milan in the san siro, yes we are always shit in champions league. oh yes and we were in 2006 final. Idiot! Arsenal will put this quarter final to bed in the first leg.

Rafa loves the cock. You know it, I know it, the whole world knows it, including his “wife”, who used to be called Jose. Just look at the suits, the crap goatee, and those rosy red cheeks. he’s crying because he got his hand caught in his handbag
