Legend status for this alone.
Yeah, him too. Should be appearing on Jeremy Kyle getting a paternity test rather than being on a football pitch, the chav scrote.
I miss the energy and passion the Da Silva twins brought to the team. Got big hopes for Dalot though.
I still believe that in that season at points we were playing amazing football and we had an amazing squad. They only things that were holding us back were Rooney and our cbs. And that LVG was afraid that another Leicester would happen (of course i dont forget tha dullest football i ve seen was in the same year in January and February. Next year was these two months extended for 9 months bar the Arsenal game).
That Leicester match had such a big impact on us - it completely changed the way we played.
Will never be forgotten for that goal vs Liverpool
This ain't the caf, this is just a very tired (keeping it politeThe Caf!
) posterMiss the crazy bastard. Baffles me when people say he was rubbish. He was brilliant in 12-13 for us in SAF's last season, if he had come to us 10 years earlier I genuinely believe he'd have been world class under SAF.
Still looks decent for Lyon, though did get skinned by Sane a bit, which was weird as his one on one defending was very solid back when he was with us.

Probably my favourite Rafa goal. Our players played like usual cowards at Anfield that day, he was pretty much our only player playing with heart that day, and then this goal.
Can't believe that cnut van Gaal got rid of him, and people actually supported that decision before we even found a replacement.

fecking hell Rafa. I don't think he actually caught him but what can the ref do when a player's ten feet off the ground?

This was a crazy reaction from Rafael. It's hard to believe that such an experienced player would do that in a match that was completely controlled by his team.
Capoeira
Derby game, still not giving up easily by the looks of it, idiotic tackle though.
The same season he scored an absolute belter vs QPR I believe. Real shame it didn’t work out for him here long term.
Still a madman. In his opinion he has never committed a foul. I have never seen him not contest a decision against him
Typical Rafael. A mixture of brilliance with moments of losing his head.
He used to play great at times and then ruin it with an idiotic moment.
For me, I'll always remember him for that idiotic moment against Munich 2010. It overshadows all the good moments.

The opponent made it look worse by rolling around pretending to be hurt. Rafael even got most of the ball and the way his opponent goes down doesnt look natural at all.
A really stupid tackle and it deserves red because it could cause an serious injury to his opponent.
Too bad he isnt smarter and injued less often because he could have been a good rb for us.

Rafa and Rojo in the same team could have made for some fun tackling, Did they ever play together?
Got the ball.
Sunday league special that.
The man likes a booking.
Classic Rafael, still plays like a teenager
Great challenge, bullshit decision.
Good read in The Athletic today, some interesting comments on his experience with Van Goal.

LVG is a dinosaur.
That doesn't actually make him look good.
