Keep his mouth shut? Guess someone stole and burn away his 'list'. tongue.gif

Worst excuse? Surely that grey kit that SAF complained about must be one of them. laugh.gif Did we ever wear them again after that?

Debunk-
The fixture list is random, that`s the nature of the fixture list. Therefore, the fact that your team has some tough away assignments after Champions League games is, literally, the luck of the draw.And he himself , too thought it wasnt a problem at all...

by a certain manager after knocked out of Champion League after a 3-0 semi-final loss at AC Milan, going out 5-3 on aggregate.
Debunk-
How the heck is another English Team able to progress to Final then? So, what he reckon the premier league suppose to do? 1 month without match for them to prepare for the champion league?  doh.gif
And the most funny of all

1996
Southampton 3-1 Manchester United

Funny and lame excuse..and you know wat? The strip was immediately replaced with a new design.
And not to mention a recent one that he claimed his players handball in the match against Zenit was an instinctive. thumbup.gif

Yeah, us having to play every game away after a CL/International break is down to luck. Right. It is random in a way, but with TV deals and stuff, I bet they do make some arrangements.

He didn't ask for a month break(he does ask for a winter break though). Don't be stupid, and just because he's SAF, manager of ManUtd, it's OK for you to just fire without doing some homework. I seem to remember if the Spanish team have a CL game midweek, then the weekend before that game they play on Saturdays. Not sure if its the same now, but it was true back then. That's all he ask. But hey, don't let that get in your way of bringing him down. whistling.gif

Nothing to play for in the league since that team was out of the running in December. So all they had to concentrate on is the cup games. icon_rolleyes.gif
Benitez complaining about transfers. Not given enough money, but looking at the net spend, he's on par with us. air_mood has that list.. can't be arse to search for it. laugh.gif

Only 16m less though. Not that much. Can buy what, 2 Dossenas, or a Robbie Keane(oops, not his own target eh? weak management then), or a Nunez with another Kuyt. The squad seem decent now though, just needed two really good wingers, and a good striker as backup for Torres/to partner him. Keane may have made a difference with Gerrard out last night. Not Rafa's choice to buy him. Wonder why he took him anyway, and selling him midway half the season without replacement.
