Hmmm... Ok, Mitro can stay.

His play acting is the killer blow. Can't even take a stand for himself. I've been hoping he would stay on and have the chance to shine next year, but he's now going to be banned for the first, vital, chunk of games. Can't finish, can't run, can't behave, can't stand up. Bye bye please.

Phahaha. Been checking this section all day just in the hope that this thread's title DIDN'T change.

Wullie, surely you've learned by now about the correlation between Hatem and points No, but really costly month that was. Champions League for Nice and a Euro selection for Hatem. Add to that for Nice the potential of him staying another season.

The gulf in class between Rafa and Ashley is unimaginably huge. Among Ashley's many faults, one of the biggest is crushing the sense of community of the club and its connection to the city. Even aside any donations he makes, Rafa gets it.

Look at Puma rear its ugly head. Offensively bad as usual.

Yeah, when they put in extra shit performances they'll get relegated too and referee us[emoji38]

West Brom have had very classy striped and patchless home kits for several seasons now.

The fight and scrap argument really is lazy PFM bullshit: Put to one side and ignore any actual footballing ability you may have, and just get out there and fight. What does "fight" even mean nowadays in football? It's the sort of mentality that has seen us take the field and get thrashed left right and centre by any team who fancied passing the ball. Including our local rivals. The irony being that when fight and scrap was meant to be a focal point (like most of Pardew's lineups), the players had very little fight in them. When we ended up run away winners of the Championship in 2010 we certainly didn't do it by fighting and scrapping.

Really a shame of that is true. That injury that saw him miss the last batch of friendlies was the killer m

Chicken Cottage[emoji38] Fitting.

There will be some serious renegotiation of terms if he is to stay after a relegation. Rafa would be crazy to show his hand so soon. Plus, speaking now could mean making a promise that would turn out to be impossible to keep.

Think the actual lion looks very classy. The design of the badge around it greatly cheapens it.

Can still not fathom how shit he actually turned out to be!

"Much has been made of Charnley’s future following a poor second term as managing director, but it is believed that the 38-year-old is unlikely to be leaving the club." Found that very surprising is all.

Lee Charnley is 38?!

What a nutjob[emoji38]

Would hate to become one of those Barca fanboys, but if this happens then how could there be any other way.

Vindicated. If he can't win player of the year in France, there's no way he'd be worth even a single point or goal in this league for a relegation bound team #Wongaloidlogic

Just saw that today... bastards

4 to 6 fewer points from us will be quite damaging for a start.

Fantastic finish from Defoe. So composed and he hit it with some power too.

That guy needs to stop hogging the trophy!

Ah, hang about we do have crazy frame paintings.

Never a dive that, man. Got clipped twice.
