Menace

I don't understand some of the stuff people are spouting. People have paid serious money to go and watch this shower of shite week in week out, and for their loyalty they have been given what I would describe as 2 decent performances from 20 matches. No one is untouchable to criticism, so what's with this "I wouldn't blame them for walking away" nonsense? To some people this is all they have, so the fact they are constantly being let down week after week, I absolutely do not blame them for being annoyed by the decisions being made and being vocal about it.

It'll be interesting to see how loyal the consortium really are as Rafa was their first choice if you believe the reports.

Apart from it's been a lot more than just that though hasn't it.

I think Rafa's rep has taken a serious hit after this job. I wouldn't want him back but I don't think Howe is the answer either.

The Athletic absolutely love 5000 word articles that can be summed up in a fraction of that like

Piatek Andre Silva Mitro Brereton-Diaz Giroud Just from the top of my head

I read that Nickson suggested Wood to Both Rafa and Bruce who both declined to look further, somehow he's good enough for Howe though

It's such a stupid question seriously. "What would you have done different" up there too. As if Chris Wood is the only option we had for Christ sake

To think this guy gave the players a bollocking for not being good enough a few years ago.. Life really comes at you fast

Woke up today feeling even more fucked off than I did yesterday. What a fucking joke.

We would be in a much better position had we had Gerrard here for sure. He's a far bigger name in world football than Eddie Howe is for sure. Digne & Coutinho would've been 2 cracking additions to this squad and I'd wager Gerrard would have a few more wins under his belt too.

Even with a £25M striker who he "rates very highly" we still only had 1 shot on target. What games do people seem to think we will pick up these wins from?

Joelinton with a proper midfielder next to him and this team looks far better than it is.

Comparing this guy to Rafa is hilarious, at least you saw what Rafa was trying to do. This guy has been poor.

It's absolutely madness were being linked with constant strikers when we had 1 shot on target. The midfield is glaringly obvious to how shit it is, I hope this is addressed rather than another striker

People keep saying "we just need a few wins" we've needed a few wins since September. We're down.

The players have absolutely not reacted to his appointment, Dean Smith has more points at Norwich with a far inferior side and the same amount of games. He is underwhelming.

Down. These lot are absolute losers.

Smart choice of wording. Basically a non statement.

I've watched this guy a fair bit, and a lot of my mates support Arsenal. I'd rather have Wood, and I don't rate Wood. This guy is pony, he misses a lot of chances for a team that puts chances to him on a plate. Lord knows what he would be like if we signed him with our 2 shots on target a match.

Heard he's getting the Megabus back to Burnley to get the rest of his belongings

Rafa has absolutely lost the plot.

I still don't understand this idea of everyone having the same opinion, go to a football match and the amount of shite you hear is non stop, but that's still their views. This like button has really bought the worst in people honestly

That's literally Mo Salah type statistics

I celebrated the day he fucked off as if we'd won a trophy
