Absolutely agree and even though Rafa is working in chains he is not exempt from criticism and does not get a free pass on everything. That last night and the tactics and way we approached the game on sunday was nothing short of an absolute disgrace and he needs to take a long hard look at himself over it. No team should ever approach a home game against a team in the same division the way we did on Sunday. We approached that game as if we were a conference side playing a premier league team in a 3rd round FA Cup match. Last night was totally inexcusable also you can bang on about lack of funds/players being utter shite but we should still have enough in reserve to be able to beat a team a division below us instead of being outplayed and embarrassed by them. We have now lost to lower league opposition in the last 3 seasons in this competition and im getting sick to death of us in effect throwing our only real chance as fans of seeing our team lift a trophy away year on year. Because its Rafa though theres no where near as much criticism as Pardew got for the likes of the Brighton and Stevenage disasters This season is going to be one absolute shit storm which will only end up 1 way the writing is on the wall already and Rafa needs to make a decision now rather than just see it out until the ship sinks in May

Aguero hat trick he always scores a shit load against us

Do you give any thought to him hoping that Ashley might sell, that's why he's staying in the hope we are sold. That's not going to happen man, I genuinely believe the club isn't for sale because if it genuinely was someone would have took it. Its all Ashleys games saying its for sale to give us idiots hope

Rafa needs to make his mind up for me and if he has no intention of signing a new contract then he should go now rather than later I mean what is the point in him hanging on for a few months. its like staying with a woman that has no interest in you being around or doesn't want you. You don't put yourself through that you just fuck off for the sake of yourself

After that performance and his shite against Cardiff he should be sent back to Chelsea with his tail between his legs

Yep tragic. People will still fill the ground and it will be exactly the same in 12 months time too. Can see how quickly most people forget about the cause of all of this In that time period the likes of Oxford,Luton,Blackburn,Swansea,Forest,Norwich,Middlesboro have all won the competition too.....grim

in 32 years we have not got beyond the quarter final of this competition that's just fucking Pathetic man

In 40 years of supporting NUFC I'm struggling to remember a shootout win

How about they are sticking to club policy of ensuring cup exits? Club intentionally not competing...bit far fetched we are just shite

Used to be a time we'd sign a teams best players. Now we sign shite teams cast offs. It's grim as fuck

You are an absolute ironclad shoe-in for the Worst Football Poster award. FFS man take the black and white glasses off we are utter utter dogshit and a club in crisis. Rafa can't work miracles all the time we are in the mire from day 1 this season You can't expect to compete with some of the utter fucking dross we put on the pitch at times. There's 60 to 70% of the squad that just aren't good enough to be Premier League players

This will be a Championship fixture next season

After 96,98,99 and Chelsea semi and Sporting Lisbon away I accepted I'll never ever see us win anything and I've been going since 1978

Was he this bad for Swansea? Looks like he’s robbing a career at the moment. Pay peanuts and you get Monkeys You're not going to get Gucci when you shop at Poundland either

Agreed. We need to stick together though. Think we'll win tonight and against Arsenal too. based on what mate? We're a better side than Forest, I'm hoping that'll show as the game goes on. Arsenal have been shite so far this season and I suspect they'll struggle to go away for the duration of the season. We'll be desperate for a win come the Arsenal game so the lads should be up for it. will Rafa park the bus v Arsenal again? Got to love a bit 18% possession at home it's the stuff giantkilling dreams are made of

And still people blindly think we won't be in deep shit this season

Game over another season of early cup exits....fuck you Ashley

At a 7 so far I think after 6 or 7 games we could be still waiting for our first win which is then a season of catch up. Can't see us winning 12 like we did last season either. Think the bottom 4 will be Us,Cardiff,Huddersfield and Burnley can we finish above them 3 I'm hoping so

Still a long long way to go many many teams start well but hit a blip and tail off. I said at start of season Peterborough and Pompey would be the top 2 in that division and I'll stick by it I still think they will be in that league next season

Imagine what someone remotely competent could have done with the team we had under Pardew man. As much as i detest Pardew i don't think even anyone competent would have got us higher than 5th. the gods were aligned that season and we finished 5th under a clown i think that was our ceiling though

They are beating the shite will be interesting to see how they do against Barnsley,Pompey or Posh

Mulberry among lots of high end brands likely to not supply HOF in the future after Ashley refused to pay suppliers. They are really going to be filled with SD tat aren't they

Carragher knows the score unlike other fucking weasels yes that's you Shola,Wise,Keys et al

I never ever understand why a professional footballer can even think about taking a penalty that way just fucking leather it Shearer style it's past the keeper before he can move

You can say what you want and defend the lad as loads on here will do but there's absolutely no excuse for a performance like that from a professional footballer On Cacapa and Fumaca levels of shitness
