Was pretty much our only outlet today, preventing them from being entirely comfortable at the back. Really like the lad.

Thought he was decent today. Retained possession a few times when most others would have lost it and played a few good passes. We need him back to his best these next few games. If we can somehow get him and Shelvey firing again then that will be half the battle.

I'd rather take colback and actually not leave our defence without protection time and time again. I see what you're saying but a lot of the time Colback is useless in all aspects of the game. Even today, he scored but he was still absolutely dick butter.

I have been appalled by his defensive work but him or Colback? Think I'd have him. Might create us the goal that keeps us up.

Couldn't string two passes together for the most part, it was full on hoof ball. Second half was better though.

Starting to get the feeling that Rafa will stay even if the worst should happen.

Ok Stifler.

The Mackems are one of the luckiest teams in the league. Always have been and that probably will cost us in the end.

dat header! Loved his celebration too.

When Sturridge was hacked down/fell over? Oh aye, pretty sure it wasn't a pen. Could've been if he hadn't thrown himself before the leg might've caught him. Slightest of contact and Sturridge made an absolute meal of it. Should have been booked.

Stunned by the result after that first half performance. Townsend and Anita mom. I love Rafa.

Hoooooooof every fucking time hoof.

Saturday night not ruined for once! fuckin get in, decent effort from the team and we got the bit of luck that has deserted us for months. About time.

We all know that he is probably going to be going at the end of the season but I wish he'd just come out and say one way or the other because if his intention is to stay and complete his 'long term' project then we can all calm the fuck down.

Had a chuckle at the thread title as I remember him as a kid in the year below me at school.

Was thinking this before, he looked well pissed off today. Wouldn't be surprised.

They don't even give a single fuck man. They should be like rabid dogs coming out of the traps. Depressing as fuck this like.

Did you play in my school team by any chance Pedro? If it was for Monkseaton High in 1998, then yes.

Imagine if we survived.

Can only hope that the embarrassment of going down with us will force him to stay and right the wrong.

He offers nothing defensively. He cannot run to save his life.

They were literally labouring about like a school team of 15 year olds on a Saturday morning who were all paralytic the night before.

Unless Rafa stays then the club could go out of existence for all I care.

Beyond cruel that in the end but we deserved nowt.

Can we blame the sun in our eyes? We're proper fucked like.
