      What does Rafa write in those notes on the bench?
      Nov 23, 2009 10:39:25 am
      Don't know about you, but I would love to see the notes Rafa seems to pen whenever we concede a goal and when things aren't going our way, which is pretty much all the time at the moment.

      I would love to get inside his head and find out exactly what he's writing. Decisions he has made and perhaps more importantly, the decisions he hasn't made.

      What is he writing? Whatever it is, it isn't working.

      What do you think?

      He's probably rearranging the order in which he is going to bollock the players.

      After Skrtel scored he went to the bottom of the list.  When Adebayor scored he had to cross his name out to put him back at the top.

      Probably writing Kuyts name on the team sheet for the next game, no matter how bad his previous performance is, he always starts the next game.( I know he works hard but so do washing machines)

      Did anyone else see those notes that Mourinho wrote during his time at Chelski? He was analysing every move that the opposition players were making, trying to find a weakness to pass on to his players, either during that game or the next time they faced them.
      In the example printed in the newspaper, Chelski were playing against Newcastle and he noticed that when the ball is played in front of Newcastle's back 4, Titus Bramble would move forward to meet it. He passed this on to his players at half time and they exploited it almost straight away. A couple of Chelski players played a 1-2 in front of Newcastle's back 4, Bramble stepped forward and a diagonal ball was played in behind him to the Chelski runner... goal.
      I'm assuming Rafa is analysing things to the same extent.

      Rafa could be taking notes of decisions he made.

      "I should ... in future " and "I shouldn't .... next time."

      Example?
      I shouldn't start with Babel next time.

      "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
      bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
      brown paper packages tied up with strings,
      these are a few of my favorite things.

      Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels,
      door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles.
      Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings.
      these are a few of my favorite things.

      Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,
      snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
      silver white winters that melt into springs,
      these are a few of my favorite things.

      When the dog bites, when the bee stings,
      when I'm feeling sad,
      I simply remember my favorite things,
      and then I don't feel so bad. "

      He stresses he anger out by writing

      Lucas you sh*t, Babel your sh*t, Voronin your sh*t, I really want Villa! like as many times as he can.

      Maybe Mark Hughes is a moron and will bid £40mil for Babel, Voronin & Lucas! if only it was as simple as doing the money cheat in Football Manager ;D.
