Rafa...

x in the city

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1294354/Style-substance-Portly-Rafa-Benitez-cuts-different-figure-Jose-Mourinho-Inter-Milan.html


seriously...

how long will he last that job.

nullzero

Stupid article in Daily Mail shocker.

Rafa's ned kelly and dress sense has nothing to do with his ability as a manager, but still his days are surely numbered.

Tiny Explosions

Another pointless Daily Mail article...;)

Inter didn't sign him to play, they want him to manage the team:pac:

therokerroar

Less than half as long as he (wrongly) lasted at Liverpool.

News flash, 50 year old man not up to date with the latest fashion.

Peyton Manning

Welcome to nearly 2 months ago.

Everton fan? I hate to break it to you, but you guys end up having a shít start to the season. Sorry.

Ah Daily Heil. Don't ever change.

Handsome Bob

Ah, having a go at a man for reasons completely irrelevant to coaching in football, keep up the fine quality there Daily Fail.

Mister men

Pathetic just pathetic.

Mr Alan

this is actually kinda cute. x in the city didn't like hearing people talking about dignity dave leaving Everton for Villa, cause somehow he has convinced himself that Everton are better than Villa at the moment. So instead he creates a thread taking the piss out of Senor Benitez in an effort to take the focus off dignity dave possibly packing his bags. Good try x. You still owe me money.

Yup, what was the bet? Disgraceful anyway.

Nothing worse than a welch.

That Torres would stay at Liverpool. Supposedly him gettin injured at the world cup makes the bet void :rolleyes:

Handsome Bob

They are just trying to be intentionally hilarious for once instead of just being unintentionally hilarious like they are oh, 99.9999999999% of the time.

There should be an amendment to the charter allowing mods to permaban welchers.

Surely theroakerroar was the safer bet? Afterall it is a vaguely Liverpool related thread.

It would be more in the Daily Mail's line to compare that result to the dashing Mourinho's scintillating 0-0 in his first game at Madrid.

Lol, that's pathetic.

I for one thought Majorca played brilliantly, Real don't have the devine right to batter everyone in Spain, it's a tough league and very few teams fail to put it up to each other. On the other hand Inter hold a different type of position in Italy, they should be beating most teams in that league, especially a team like Bologna who has just sacked their manager a day or so before the game.

That's silly. Has your club drawn 0-0 in recent history?

Real Madrid were away to a team that were 1 point away from qualifying for the Champions League last season.

Bologna finished 17th last season, one place away from relegation.

There's simply no comparision.

Yes but didnt Mallorca sell half their team in the summer. I`m pretty sure they started with 5 or 6 players who were in the reserves last season.

Either way, it was an underwhelming display by Madrid.

This is why i dont buy the daily mail.

He doesnt wear a coat or shoes, must be a shít manager :rolleyes:

Sure Fergie wears his shorts so high up they could be around his neck at times:P

Peyton Manning

What do Ryan Giggs and X in the City have in common?

They're both welch-men.

This bet?

Poor form tbh

Fromvert

Pretty pathetic not paying the bet.

monkey9

You'd know the Daily Mail was a newspaper aimed at women. Even the sports section contains an article about the fashion sense of two managers and that the better dressed one must be the better manager!

MonkeyTennis

in fairness lads. He is pretty fat

Honestly, why would anyone think a bet made on an internet forum would be honoured?

I sincerely doubt Alan would have paid up either.

Plenty of bets from here have been honoured, money usually going to charity

I've had plenty of bets over the internet paid and I've honoured all of mine. I'd guarantee if Torres had left x in the city would be on here screaming for his money.

I would generally have thought boards was more of a community than a random forum. Also, I won 50 euro from Mr Alan last season in relation to Liverpool outside the top 4, and not only did he pay, he actually came looking for my details so actually these bets are, and should be honoured.

X in the city should be banned until payment IMO

also, what happened you roker, I recall your very first introductory post, you seemed pretty decent in it....

Absoluterly nothing is the correct answer - mainly because Ryan Giggs is universally admired, x in the city is...well, whatever the opposite of universally admired is.

therokerroar

Fair play if that's the case.

I'm just basing my opinion on other cases I have heard of of bets not being honoured on the internet.

Apologies.

eagle eye

I hate welchers but there should be no betting in this forum really. There is a gambling forum and anything like that should happen over there.

Moral of the story - Al is wrong most of the time. :pac:

Mr Alan

no worries. i think what a lot of newer people (and i ain't referring to you here) need to realise is that the community feel on this forum ain't like other forums online-a lot of people here have met and had beers watching football, gone to watch boardeaux games etc. the place is kinda losing that feel and its a bad thing imo.
