Watched Marseille and came back with Thauvin while West Ham snapped up Payet as well. Does he watch the games on the same shite streams as I do, guessing at who's got the ball?

Bent as fuck.

This "show of support for Rafa" will amount to his name sung a couple of times at the start of the game, then Spurs will score, then the famous SJP atmosphere will return - silence with occasional grumbling, then the soopafans all leave before the end, apart from the really soopa ones who'll hang back for a boo.

They'd regret it just like West Ham have.

So the moral of the story is we should have kept him and finished 17th like his current club.

'...and go' tbh

Fat Mike sent us down. Fair comment - but Fat Sam put the nail in the coffin. Wish someone would put a nail in his.

No they'd need another couple of goals.

Norwich 2-1

The mackems have been happy down the bottom as long as I've been alive man, regardless of how we've been doing. When we were going for the title, they were idolising Kevin Ball. Fat Sam's Fat Head is their perfect manager. Thank fuck tbh. If they ever start demanding to punch their weight we'll all suffer.

They won't ever realise because, like Palace, they're happy scraping around the bottom of the table and watching garbage on a permanent basis as long as they don't go down.

You should have a read of the Everton forums if you think there's no animosity towards Rafa. He is absolutely detested by Everton fans.

And next year we'll have to watch his irritating talentless daughter presenting our highlights.

Steve Bruce Yorkie will be buzzing.

Bet his kids team would have beaten us away from SJP.

God no, he's worse than Hitler.

Depends what you want from your Championship team really. If you want to grind out 1-0s every week to get yourself up (as Boro and Burnley have), he'll probably be useful. If you want to win by being the best team in the league and showing it, he'll be a hindrance. We were fairly dull and workmanlike generally in the Championship until Smith was jettisoned for a central midfielder with creativity, at which point we started scoring 4 and 5 every week. Personally I'd much rather he fucked off. I'd advocate offering him back to his mates down the road for fuck all if I thought for a second they would want the useless cunt back.

If anything summed up how few fucks the city of Newcastle upon Tyne gives about its own football team anymore.

He really didn't have a "fantastic" record at Leicester, no more fantastic than any manager who brings a club up from the Championship and keeps them up, like tons of managers have. Howe and Flores have both done it this season without having to be rock bottom until 32 weeks have gone. Steve Bruce and Paul Lambert have both done the same in recent seasons. I really don't understand where he has suddenly got such a big reputation from. Having Rafa has reminded me that, actually, I quite like being proud of the manager. I doubt even his own mother doesn't think Pearson's a complete dickhead.

Presumably the same reason that Sevilla are 2/1 at home to Granada - nothing to play for, cup final to come, bookies anticipating changes.

Christ.
