Dinho lad

not at this stage of the season. hughes and rafa have effectively said that they don't stand a chance of getting anything out of those matches. It's their bloody job, that they're highly reward for (and apparently highly skilled at), to get as many points as possible. (Okay, I get Rafa's situation is different to the majority of managers, but that still strange coming from a serial winner.) This is the sort of mentality that makes most of the top flight clubs just grateful to be in the PL.

Yes.

This recent ‘trend’ by managers to rest their better players for the game after is, frankly, quite shit! I know Rafa was part of it, but just fuck off. Indeed, fuck off football.

Fuck off HTT and whoever mentioned Mitrovic. Rafa deserves criticism and must be questioned more thoroughly in his next press conference, but to say we have to get rid of him is complete stupidity. Put more pressure on Mike fucking Ashley to fuck off!

Decent effort, I suppose.

The defending for messi's goal was cowardly.

BRING IT ON!! FEEEKING BRING IT ON!! :fuuu: I feeking sacrificed a tenner for this..... FEEEEKING BRING IT ON!!

So, so depressing.

Bellamy hugged him for his first.

Gayle was also played on the wing by Pards. He also hardly played for much more than relegation/lower-half table teams.

This is diving as opposed to shooting.

Minus his injuries he's a really good premiership quality striker. I struggle to think when we've had something as decent as him upfront. Is he more proven than Gayle in the PL? Don't think so. (Hope that wasn't a serious post) Go on, get the stats out.

It was only last season that he was doing well at Sheff Wed.

This is an outrageous comment. AC was on a completely different level to this chump... Mitro has similar stats to the current AC. Andy did have a remarkable 6 months with us before he was sold admittedly. However, Dean Holdsworth once had a good season as well. People would be riving the heed off it if they thought Andy was coming back while in reality we have something very similar not even warming the bench. Would rather have Dean Holdsworth than Mirovic.

I think the last time we were in the market was when we splashed out on luque and owen. I meant the forum, rather than the club, but Do you still think Sigurdsson is worth 50m?

Eto'o wasn't better than Weah in his pomp IMO. Eto'o was unbelievable in front of goal but Weah had more to his game. The closest thing you're seeing to peak Weah at the moment is Mbappe. Eto'o did a good job on the wing for Mourinho's Inter team without being taking away too much attacking effectiveness.

I guss some people never witnessed Shearer's first 4 seasons in England's top division. 114 apps 23 goals similar rate to Mitrovich. But yeah, Southampton sold him.

Carroll was a much better player for us.

I genuinely don't know what people were expecting to happen? It's not like we've rolled over. Also Neville is a c**t We’re defending against the best attack on the planet. Everyone complaining can fuck right off and support Man City.

Kompany injured again?

Sterling to score first and Manquillo to be shown the first card @ 101.00 Over 2.5 goals, 5+ Manchester City corners and Yedlin & Manquillo to be carded @ 41.00 Aguero & De Bruyne to score and Shelvey & Clark to be carded @ 51.00 Javi Manquillo @ 5.50 Newcastle v Manchester City Player To Be Carded

Erm, I'm sure the heavy rain played its part.

Yeah, the massive legend deserves it. So do we, of course.
