Magnificent. As ever, OOJ

[Benzo-13]

Love it.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Brillant stuff. I don’t think I’ll ever feel as much love for another Liverpool manager in my lifetime. As amazing as Jurgen was I don’t think anyone other than Rafa would have done as much to speak up and help save the club from Hicks and Gillette. To his own detriment he put the club before himself. A truly wonderful man who happened to also be a feckin brilliant football manager!

Really enjoyed that. Non-LFC fan mate sent it to me in a group chat saying how well Rafa comes across, and he does. It's a shame his career has fizzled out so badly. Also, Carra is really annoying during the discussion, constantly cutting across people while they're talking and changing the subject.

Looks really happy and relaxed doesn't he?

He does. Just an all around great guy. He says in the video he still wants to coach, but if he ever decides to settle into a semi-retirement, I'd love him to have a relationship with the club again as an ambassador or similar.

Enjoyed that. Observations:

1. He says ‘ba ba ba’ a lot

2. He hates Alonso

3. He really f***ing hates Allardyce

4. The fact he didn’t get financial backing whilst with us will always haunt him

His memory for the smallest of details is something else

I couldn't watch a whole show of Gary Neville. Does he say Alonso refused to play?

Said he’d a “Twisted ankle”.

[Ant]

It was a really really good listen, but by God is he chaotic.

I wish someone had asked him why he keeps working for chaotic owners but anyway

Tbf Carragher was actually more annoying than Neville on this one

Thought Keane was a bit more reserved than usual,  think he has a lot of respect to Rafa 

[takanohana]

So when it looked from the outside that the owners just weren't making sufficient funds available to compete for the title, Rafa confirms that was in fact the case, there wasn't some clever alternative strategy at work.

Now here we are in summer 2024, and...

A good reminder that Purslow was a c*** as well 

[jimbolala]

That was a great watch, Rafa seems to remember every minute detail about any football he watched. I still have a huge soft spot for the man, for those watching at the time , it was obvious he was protecting the club, how any Liverpool fans doubt him I will never know. Carra was being ab idiot there, not unlike him, Keane kept his anger in a bit when he heard about Alonso but you could see both him and Wright knew Rafa was in the right. FFS a budget of £17m against Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea is bewildering
