Second half always better under Rafa. COME ON.

Just win, please. By at lwast 5 goals..

No offence, but some of the comments on here are just over the top. Bucket worthy.

If Rafa stays can see him making them a great partnership. Get two decent fullbacks and they could work. That said can see rafa bringing in an experienced cb as well. Dont think we will see colo or taylor again unless we are desperate.

Begins with a C

Cisse so poor receiving the ball. Tiote too. Much better second half (i hope). 3-0

Personally think he will stay whatever. Think he already has a strong affection/connection with the club and i think thats a massive factor for him. Hoping anyway.

Liverpoolvwere over whelmingly good in the first half. Credit we came out and did what we did in the second!

I think we will go on a mad run, possibly 4 wins and still go down.

It is except half of them either had none in first place or forgot to pick them up at the beginning of the season.

I am not sure the market is there for big foreign investors now, for us or other 2nd and 3rd tier premier league teams. OK there is TV money but so much needs to be spent, with the exception of Leicester, success is not guaranteed (City/Chelsea/Man U this season). In any event no one will pay the kind of cash Ashley would want for us. With SD struggling as well, he would want as much as possible right now, if at all. Time to really get on his back, closely followed by Charney.

That's it.

London Metro saying they are sleep walking into relegation yesterday. No mention of Pardew being at fault. Shocker. In a way the lack of media pressure on him is a good thing for us. Be amazing to see them go down and is stay up.

Not sure it's tactics. More 9 out of 11 players not in the game. Most thought the lineup was right. It's the players that are woeful. Anita on for colback. De Jong on for mitrovic.

Colback is utterly horrific, he is still playing for them. Liability

Having a SMC thread is bad enough, discussing Dalglish in the same place it totally depressing. He ripped one of our best teams in years apart. Will never be forgiven for that.

Colback you cock

Sterry Ok. Technically I was wrong but you get what I mean!!

No defender on the bench!

Just had a bet..

I so hope we stay up, things could finally start to get interesting. Our fans have to give it absolutely everything they have, home and away. Nothing but encouragement and noise. Come on.

We will win on Monday and he will no doubt say he prepared the team and he knew some form was just around the corner. Glad he is gone, was never going to end well in the first place.

What if he has us nearly safe going into the last game and decides he does not want to stay!!!!

8 years too late but brilliant news this. At last, a real manager. Players just have to respond to this.

IMO has to be an absolutely top manager to rejivinate this bunch of cowards we have in the squad. They don't perform for a top manager and their careers after here will not be the same. For what it is worth I don't think McLaren is going anywhere.
