Rafa coming back to Liverpool.

Interesting one on Sunday.. well before the interesting one anyway. Rafa Benitez comes back to Liverpool, or more specifcally goes to Everton with his new probably quite temporary project.

But a thought occurred to me earlier.. would Rafa winning the league be such a bad thing?

Chelsea, after a wobbly start under Benitez seem to be getting a bit of form together, and the other main 'Not Man United' contender is City, who have wobbled a bit

Personally, the thought of Rafa's hands on the title in May is better than the thought of Whiskey Chops paws on it again.

.. this bit, less so.

There is another level to this scenario thought.. it is this. Chelsea fans clearly were disgusted at the thought of Di Matteo being binned - with some justification - but, they didn't seem to grasp why Liverpool fans were quite so horrified as well at the thought of Rafa being in charge.

This bit was fun...

Part of the reason is that we know he knows what he's doing (now bear with me). Rafa Benitez is responsible for the more recent glory in Liverpool's history. Doing, well doing effectively what Di Matteo has just done for Chelsea and won the European Cup when there really were more likely alternatives.

Now the likelihood of Benitez winning the Champions League with Chelsea appears slim as his "Interim Coach" title suggests, but what if he won the league.

INTERACTIVE PARAGRAPH GAME

Now I appreciate that the thought of Chelsea winning the league isn't great. They do seem to be a bunch of ****ing ****s. < This is the interactive portion. Spend hours of fun thinking of abuse for Chelsea. Will it be the twatting cockmunch of a Captain that inspires you, or their fucking bizarre rent-a-fan, were the best cos we're all got the same plastic flag bollocks.

"Yes, we are all individuals."

Distribute points for abuse out of 10 amongst yourselves to see whose won.

But the main thing that Chelsea have in their favour is that they are irrelevant. They have no history.. there is a song confirming this.

In terms of title wins OUR perch, I would like to think is just that. Now it seems like it's going to be a little while before we're at the pointy end again - but when we do I would prefer it if we didn't have to win twelve titles to get back in front of a potentially cyborg Alex Ferguson , which was what they have just had to do. With less cyborg involvement obviously.

To help us while we get our shit together is the irrelevant teams in the "title race" - or the bigger picture one anyway.

Manchester City and Chelsea have won between them the same number of titles as Aston Villa (7). They can quite happily get in the way for a while - and after a long while we can get our shit together.

Yes it's not ideal, but when Rafa comes back to Liverpool on Sunday, I think the thought of Everton losing  might have more potential plus points than usual.
