      Great Rafa quotes and moments
      May 02, 2008 12:16:21 am
      Just thought I'd try and cheer some of you guys up after lastnight.


      Before, I said that they were maybe the best supporters in England. Now maybe they are the best supporters in Europe.

      How can you tell your wife you are just popping out to play a match and then not come back for five days? [on test cricket]

      I am sure Chelsea do not like playing Liverpool. When they are talking and talking and talking before the game it means they are worried. Maybe they're afraid.

      Winning trophies has made me put on weight

      If you have a car and you win a race, you cannot just settle for that. You must try and make the car better. We're a good car but you always want a bigger engine.

      As always I am focused on training and coaching my team

      He is our manager, and he's done a fantastic job here. I think sometimes we forget just how much he's improved us since the Houllier days.

      The reality is, under Houllier we were nowhere to be seen when it came to Europe. We didn't have the quality to compete, but Rafa's improved us a hell of a lot and even I'm guilty of not recognizing that at times.

      He's done a fantastic job here, and has brought players into the club that we could have only dreamt about under Houllier.

      Not just a great manager, but a great person too :)

      “Luis said to me that as he turned away, he was right on the line, and he said the ball was over the line. And after the game my secretary Sheila, who was sitting right in line in the main stand, said to me that the ball had crossed the line. She is a very honest person and that was good enough for me. It was a goal.”

      On the goal v Chelsea in the CL Semi Final of 2005.

      Rafa on joining Liverpool:

      'I am a very proud man today because all managers like to arrive at the best clubs and we know Liverpool is one of the most important clubs in the world,'

      'It feels as if I have been on a permanent honeymoon since I arrived here, I am on a cloud and I feel as if with Liverpool I have found the love of my life.'

      Rafa on the News Of The World:

      'Everyone in Liverpool knows there are two papers you can't believe, and this is one of them.'

      And my personal favourite, after Arjen Robben got Pepe Reina sent off:

      'I'm in a hurry and I must go to the hospital to see how Robben is, he could be in hospital for a week'

      The guy's a F***ing legend, and no-one can tell me any different.

      Rafa is part of football that makes me smile because he knows how to win games. He is a master tactician and one of are true great managers.

      Our European success has been better than anybody elses since he came and if he deliver the premier league he will go down as one of i not my favourite manager.

      RaRa I can't hear the music on that video or what he's saying, but it's a great video nonetheless :D And that one of him kicking the ball.. it is funny but I feel sooo sorry for him every time I watch it! Wonder if his wrist hurt after? That would kill mine!

      And that thing with his name coming up, against Everton aswell.. just awesome. Pure luck because it was live.. AMAZING.

      WE LOVE YOU RAFA!

      Oh yeah, what I also love about him, when interviewers (on TV) keep pestering him about, say a bid apparently made for someone or something.. he never caves.. his reply is always like "I am just thinking of the game for now" :D

      In the clip that Ra Ra Rafa posted when Rafa stacked it in the game against West Ham he got up he appeared to be laughing at the fact he stacked it. If that was Sir Purple nose, the portugese git or the muppet look-a-like french ponce then we can all pretty much guarentee that they would get shitty about it. But not our Rafa and that is part of what makes him such a great manager

      Great Rafa quotes and no one's mentioned "We have..........Possibilit ies"

      f***in love Rafa, you get frustrated at some of his decisions, but you just can't hate the guy.

      One reason he won't leave just yet He F***ing loves US - The Fans, watching him today, again he looked slightly embarrased at the volume of support we have for him, I spotted him trying to motion us to sing about the players gave up and gave us a thumbs up. I truly believe he didn't expect half the support he's had over the last, what, nearly four years.

      Imagine what are support for him would be like if he delivers No.19

      No doubt in my mind that he'll have a good go at delivering number 19 next season mate. Especially after yesterday. I'm certain he wants to get in that Kop one day with his daughters.

      One of my fave Rafa moments was when he sat down on the touchline during the penalty shoot out v Chelsea in last seasons semi final,pure class.

      And if you remember, Geremi just missed his penalty and the camera closed in on Rafa at that time, he was still sitting down, with that expressionless face of his and he had the guile to glance at his watch! Like he was saying, "can't we get this over with already?"

      Pure class, yes he is!

      One of my fave Rafa moments was when he sat down on the touchline during the penalty shoot out v Chelsea in last seasons semi final,pure class.

      I agree when everyone else was losing their heads he stayed calm it kinda reminds me of the Rudyard Kipling poem called "if" which is very famous you may have heard it said before I think this kinda sums up the man he is I hope you think so too..

      If you can keep your head when all about you
      Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
      If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
      But make allowance for their doubting too;
      If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
      Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
      Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
      And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

      If you can dream -- and not make dreams your master;
      If you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim;
      If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
      And treat those two imposters just the same;
      If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
      Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
      Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
      And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

      If you can make one heap of all your winnings
      And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
      And lose, and start again at your beginnings
      And never breathe a word about your loss;
      If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
      To serve your turn long after they are gone,
      And so hold on when there is nothing in you
      Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

      If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
      Or walk with kings -- nor lose the common touch,
      If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
      If all men count with you, but none too much;
      If you can fill the unforgiving minute
      With sixty seconds' worth of distance run --
      Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
      And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!

      I remember that, I think it was when we played at Newcastle......he kept saying in the interview "I am focusing on my team" all the time to all the questions.  :o

      Rafa is the best and the right man to take Liverpool forward. He has the right touch when buying the right players for us. With the limited transfer fund provided, I'm amazed on how good he handled his transfer policies. If Moanrinho was here, I don't know how much money we have to spend paying fines for his big mouth!

      I don't think I've ever heard a pre or post match interview where Rafa hasn't said:

      'You see the product'
      'Quality'
      'We were talking with him'

      Recent interview, Rafa was asked if he found it hard to watch the CL Semi's as we aren't in it.

      He smiled and said something like, "No, I just look at the TV infront of me - it's easy!"

      Rafa has a lot more to give and there is some absolute gems in the past but I have no doubt that as his English keeps improving, he'll get  even better.

      "We have scored a lot of goals from different players, but if we have Gerrard and Torres on the pitch the opposition is wondering who will score, Gerrard or Torres? It also helps the confidence of our players if they are on the pitch with them."

      Today's refusing of praise for Fergie.

      He praised Man Utd as a team and club, but did not refer to that drunken gobs***e, and obviously that left Richard Keys apoplectic, SSN presenters foaming at the mouth and it'll probably be all over the papers tomorrow.

      I f***in love the man!

      Quite right.  Some of the remarks he made about Rafa, his comments about Gerrard's Footballer of the Year award, and getting Sam Allardyce to do his dirty work was pathetic.

      Respect where respect is due, and with Slur Alex, he doesn't deserve any.  Looks like the mind games have already begun for next season.
