Has he gone yet? You know who I mean. That guy who looks like a fat Spanish waiter. The one who recently arrived at our table uninvited, brought in by the owner of our beloved restaurant at around the time Robbie started dropping a few plates. Never liked him, right from the moment I clapped eyes on him years ago, serving Scouse front of house in a greasy spoon I could never abide. Vowed it would be the only time I’d clap him too, bearing in mind he once had the gall to say that the menu he was peddling back then was better than ours. Renowned and five-sided he said it was, boastful git, whereas ours was naff and plastic. Bloody cheek!

 

Truth be told, even Jose was more subservient than that when he was organising our table settings. Like a military operation it was back then and he’d never dream of ’shushing’ the clientele or spitting in their food when they weren’t looking. We all know that, don’t we? Then again, even if he had, we would have soon told him to stop being such a wind-up merchant and to just get on with serving the public properly, because everybody knows it‘s high moral principle that matters in the best kitchens. Heavens above, we’d say, it’s these diners that pay your wages, they deserve respect and they’re fair-minded individuals turning up for one thing and one thing only. Good food, properly served without rancour. Actually, that’s three things, but that’s not important. Then again, maybe it is.

 

For let’s be honest here, it is earth-shatteringly important if food is to be served up by this FSW. Of course it is, we can all see that and we can all understand the reasons. Hell’s fire, this one even continues to live near that awful gaff he once managed!! Says it all really - once a person who lives near a horrible gaff, always a person who lives near a horrible gaff, that’s what I always say. Always. Often more than once. And when I do, I then look to see if anybody else agrees with me and, if they do, I’ll press their ’like’ button, because I like nothing better than to press the ’like’ button when it registers ’dislike’ for any FSW, especially this FSW when he turns up at my table uninvited.

 

Don’t get me wrong, I don‘t expect sympathy [you pressing the ’like’ button is usually enough for me anyway] but, would you believe it, I haven’t really enjoyed a meal in weeks. Went out and stuffed myself away at Leeds - didn’t like it, though. Forced myself, I did, then brought it all back up again with a load of bile just before that Villa game at my favourite eatery. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because I only ended up stuffing myself again and needed to make room. Oh well, such is life through the prim and proper prism of modern cooking for me these days. I suppose you can sum it all up in one simple culinary phrase - can’t get the service anymore - and that applies even when I go up market to Delia’s at Norwich. Yep, there is the FSW again, dishing out the orders. Nouvelle cuisine this time. Nowhere near enough goals to keep a grown man happy, especially when I know darn well Robbie would have piled my plate high and it would have been tongue-tinglingly tasty..

 

Still, at least I’m used to the incessant regurgitation by now and a steady improvement in restaurant quality did mean that Moyes was on the Premiership menu next. I’ve always liked a bit of Moyes. He’s trim, longer term, with lingering taste, you see. A measure of continuity that you can get your teeth into, with silverware always being optional at a Chez Kenwright establishment that has treated its regulars to unrivalled excellence for nigh on nine months. Surely, at long last, this homecoming for the surly FSW would see my appetite for bulimia-avoidance satisfied. But no, not a hope of it, not even an early hiccup could stop the silver-chasing service returning to normal. It is going to be resumed again on Wednesday, when that rabble from Loftus Road arrive for a spot of air pie and a mashing.

 

Bon Appetit ‘Arry!

Lets hope this WAITER doesnt end up spitting in our soup if it turns out hes the best waiter this restaurant has had for some time

This is getting sooo boring now...

I can see what you've tried to achieve here, a sea of metaphors and similes in order express your distaste for Rafa, but really...couldn't you have just called him a fat Spanish c**t and saved us all the pain of reading that?!

You must have an attention deficit  problem.

 

Dorset, the correct culinary terminology for Benitez Hump done-to-death is "Entrecote de Rafa baisé à la mode de mort."

That's like being offered a plate of succulent scallops and saying you'd rather have fish fingers.

"Us"? Who's this "us" you refer to? You are no more and never will be one of "us" than your namesake. And if it pained you so much, then do yourself and us a favour, and don't bother.

 

Scouse prick.

I don't need a long list of analogies to make me look small for detesting the Fat Twat and I don't need anyone hinting at me how I should support the Club I've supported for fourty odd years.

 

I find it impossible to understand how anyone can just ignore the sacking of RDM after what he achieved and for what little went wrong and the obvious circumstances of what went wrong and then get on here with some Moral highground as if it was a correct decision...and worse, as if the appointment of the Interim was the correct fix for what wasn't broken.

 

I'll never give the Interim credit for anything and I'll always credit the man he replaced for making this team what they are...a few dodgy results will never convince me he wouldn't have sorted it and likely brought a biger points tally and the World Club Cup while he was at it.

Unfortunately, the kid left the scallops in the pan for as long as it takes to cook fish fingers.

You are aware that you can choose not to read posts that don't pique your interest, yes? Surely that's a better option than responding in such a twattish manner.

the kid?  are you referring to Dorset???? 

I feel sick now, all that greasy Spanish food, and even worse there's a scouse loose in the house..

Did not read.

I'm bored of this Rafa Backlash now. He is here until the end of the season or until results turn sour, just accept it and move on.

1. Did not read.

2. I'm bored of this Rafa Backlash now. He is here until the end of the season or until results turn sour, just accept it and move on.

1. That's your loss.

 

2. It's your choice to accept the presence of the interim, just as it's my choice not to.

So without reading it you knew what it would be about and you knew it would bore you?  Aren't you smart! 

It's your choice to accept the presence of the interim, just as it's my choice not to.

You don't really have a choice. I don't want him here, you don't want him here, 99% of us don't want him here. He is here. Fact.

You can't do anything about it so we may as well support him until he goes.

@Moi - its quite clear from the title it's another thread against Rafa. I'm sure even you knew that before you clicked the thread.

Either I'm doing Dorset a great disservice by thinking that the post is actually a swipe at those of us who won't accept the fat bar steward or I'm right in which case you should have probably read the post before you gave your verdict on it.

 

Let me know if I'm right Dorset, if not then I apologise as its really a raw nerve, if I am then don't worry about it as I'm not easily offended.

No you're wrong.

 

We may have no option but to tolerate his presence. But we don't have to accept it. Acceptance is tantamount to approval. If nothing else, we can continue to make our disapproval known. Doing so may not make any difference to the current situation, but it does tell the board and everyone else that we are not mindless bloody sheep willing to go along with each and every decision no matter how outrageous made by the powers that be that currently run the club.

I have missed posts like this from Dorset. I haven't missed the responses. I do like fish fingers, though.

I’m dreadfully sorry, it appears that confusion reigns and for some unaccountable reason the food has been muddled up on its way out of the kitchen. By my reckoning, only moi has received the correct order and I’m delighted to see, even though I knew during preparation that it wasn’t going to be entirely to her taste, she downed it with commendation and her usual quiet word on presentation. However, as far as other diners are concerned… let me see, who was it who ordered the ‘well done’ Rafa and fries? Jeez, could it be the real Rafa Benitez?!

 

And what’s that… you didn’t like it? Clearly not the man of discernment many of us lesser-size individuals thought you to be or, dare I say, one with much understanding of what goes on in this top class establishment either. Perhaps I should take a moment to explain the situation to you directly. Sir, this is Chez Shed End and your culinary wish was granted - a pity you didn’t recognise it, but that FACT probably says more about you than it does about us and I shall assume, when leaving, you will close the door behind you and not expect anything by way of refund.

 

Chippy, on the other hand… well, what can I say? It seems you’ve called me over about the meal because (and I just know you’ll correct me if I‘m wrong) after tasting it and deciding you didn’t like it, you then couldn’t understand why Rafa didn’t like it either, so you wondered if you should like it after all, giving me the benefit of your own doubt, should I wish to take the opportunity to explain myself further. I think you know this restaurant’s reputation by now - the food is there for you to eat should you wish to and, if you do, I hope you find it enjoyable… but, much like your own opinion on matters, which I have every respect for, it’s never going to change shape once it’s on the plate. Make of it what you will, it’s your call, we both know where we stand on most matters, this one is no exception and it’s definitely no moveable feast.

Dorset for fear of misreading you for either a first or second time, ffs just say what you mean...we're not all fans of bloody Oscar wilde, its a Football forum and I don't want to go on a university course just to get my head round the cryptic ramblings of a someone who finds a need to speak in unnecessary metaphors.

 

I still feel the first post is a swipe at those of us who won't accept the Interim but as you've hidden your meaning to those of us (everybody of course) less intelligent than you I'm afraid I'm still not completely sure.

This is like some Monty Python sketch - only not as funny.

Well let's hope the dessert from this cafe' is better than the main meal because it's leaving a rather bitter taste in my mouth.

Indeed, the sooner the FSW gets his just deserts (excuse the slightly stretched double-entendre pun) the better!

 

I would suggest a large helping of Spotted Dick(head) with curdled custard.

All the tooing and froing of Banter, Harsh words, and in some cases, pure indignation doesnt change the scene...I personaly dont think Rafa is that important for me to pull my hair out when his name is mentioned...He is here....He is doing a fairly good job...He ll be gone later...Thats it..........................Hes not a God or icon to us in any way....So if he said we re passionless fans at a sh*t club, who gives a f**k...We know the facts ....In fighting is ludicrous in this particular situation
