I think people are being a bit harsh on rawk, it just got too big too quick and was unable to keep control, I was a member back around 2002 and it was a great forum. There have plenty of knobs on here as well it's just a lot smaller and lot better moderated.

Luis Suarez has revealed his desire to remain at Liverpool for many years to come.

The Uruguay star has made a scintillating start to life on Merseyside and looks more than capable of carrying on the traditions of the club's famous No.7 shirt.

He admits he feels completely at home in England and believes it would be difficult to recreate his level of satisfaction anywhere else in the world.

Suarez said: "I've just started a phase of my career which I always dreamed about and wanted to do, which is to play for Liverpool.

"I have five years left on my contract and I think beyond that, I'm already thinking about staying many more years at Liverpool.

"It's a club I like. I feel very good about being here, about being in the city.

"I feel very pleased. It would be difficult to match the atmosphere, hunger for success and glory that this club has at another team."

Meanwhile, Suarez reiterated his joy at netting four goals in a World Cup qualifier against Chile on Friday night.

The striker gave another example of just why he is rated amongst the top footballers in the world and revealed that his teammates had joked that he could even have doubled his tally had he not been withdrawn on 76 minutes as a precautionary measure.

He said: "You always dream about scoring goals and scoring four in a game is not easy, but if it wasn't for the efforts of my team mates, I would not have scored the goals.

"The important thing is that I could keep playing, but I did not over-extend myself in some plays. One of my team-mates joked that if it wasn't for the slight back pain I could've scored eight!"

He added: "I love playing, so whenever I'm taken off I mourn a little, and get a sick feeling in my stomach, but it's all about the team, and I always appreciate everyone's efforts"

He had a well orchestrated media hate campaign running against him by G&H which seemed to have worked on the minority of numptys it was aimed at .

Examples ?

Media campaigns tend to attempt to distort the truth, ignore facts etc.

The support for Benitez is usually based on arguments not based in fact.

I remember your dig at a tipp lad in the GAA thread.

I joined RAWK in 2004 and it was a great site then, but after the win in Istanbul and the closure of the free .tv boards it exploded and they had to shut down registration for new members for ages.

Zonal marking, it was successful but this was ignored.

Rotation, rafa is a fool for doing but ferguson does and not a word.

Most fans reconsidered their opinion after the truth came out about H & G. A minority didn't, basic comprehension and lack of analytical skills I say. Not surprising mostly, but there is the odd one with supposed backgrounds in the legal and financial worlds I'd expect better of!

Rafa went off the rails in the last season and made an absolute mess of things in the end and left us with some shocking players. He could do with some time out of the game to regain his composure - his time at Inter was a farce.

Himself and Trap have a lot in common I reckon.

Rafa Benitez is an absolutely fantastic manager and whoever appoints him will have made a cracking decision.

"I have had some offers in Asia, in Russia, in South America"

Looks like all of the footballing superpowers are after him.

Using your own logic, it should reflect well on Rafa's time at Liverpool that once he left, the European Champions snapped him straight up

I think the sacking quite soon after says otherwise.

We did, I think...... not the reason I went with that line up, but more the fact that Johnson & Enrique can have more freedom to move forward and fall back when needed and hoping Hendo can make runs into the box which were lacking lately,

Quite frankly, i love the way everyone hates Suarez!! It just shows how good he is!! Bring on the hatred!!!

David Silva is one of the best players in the PL and plays for Manchester City yet nobody seems to hate on him.

I think you're deluded if you think people hate Suarez because of his ability.

Generally players who play act and moan alot aren't well liked. I'm actually surprised people are having such a hard time figuring out why Suarez isn't liked.

How many footballing superpowers are currently looking for a manager? The man also wants to get a job in England where his family are based. He's right to wait on the right offer to come around, and a manager of his ability will eventually get it.

murpho999 · 13-11-2011 05:36PM

Haven't been able to post in a while...come back today and people are still arguing about Rafa....glad to see things haven't changed.

Is it not time to move on?

Indeed. Add to that the fact that he is a top class and you have someone who is going to be hated on.

I love it myself.

I'd thank that a thousand times if I could.
It's a real pet hate of mine the way some people think he's hated because he is brilliant.
He is a brilliant player that happens to be hated by a lot of opposition fans.

13-11-2011 05:49PM

If he was shít no-one would hate him.

It's a huge compliment to be hated. Long may it continue.

Robbie Savage would tell you differently.

El Hadji Diouf and Joey Barton ain't exactly world class either.
