Better win% over his first 200 games than Wenger and Fergie!

He sure has, but take it as more forgotten by the media.
The media for some reason just will not recognise his achievements and this then rubs off on plastic fans that only follow the media and fail to establish there own opinion of the man and what he has achieved in football.

Great article.
Talk about not knowing what we had until it was gone.
Didn't appreciate it at the time but we we're spoilt under Rafa
Took those Euro nights and regular top 4 finishes for granted. .

The fact the media hate him only serves to make me love him further

I still love the "He may have only lasted 6 months at Inter, but in that time he won two trophies."
The Charity Shield and The Super Cup. 2 one-off matches that mean diddly-squat. They don't count as trophies.
People forget some of the dross we played under Benitez, this "one bad season and he was sacked" is a complete myth.

i love that man! The moment at the Hillsborough memorial and he had a tear or two...showed his try character that day. He will never be forgotten, he is a red through and through now!

In 2011, Barcelona won five trophies and they are La Liga, Champions League, Spanish Super Cup, European Super Cup, World Club Championship. The writer is simple stating the facts as he sees it. No one can take away those two trophies from him(Rafa) because it is on record that he won them. Some trophies can have better significance than other but a cup is a cup. Was this not the excuse made by some fans in Kenny's defense? It's not always about winning pretty. You may dislike the man for whatever reason(s) but you cannot knock his achievements. He has won everywhere he gone so far so face it and deal with it.

Winning the league cup is much much better than winning the charity shield. Do we count the Emirates trophy as a competition Arsenal have won?

Great article but surely every fan knows he was a genius? Its only the press that supressed his achievements
