"To be honest they’re not very good..." No wonder Brewcie binned him.

Ritchie is a player who I rated, but has been shite this season, and was useless last time out. Even when we play well, Perez is still toss. Dummett is actually a bit underrated and I don't think we'll get a better LB whilst the fat man is in charge. Statistics not your strong point, I see.

Not learned from your past posts, have you in this very thread? Funny how you went AWOL as soon as he picked up form and won us loads of points last year with goals and assists -- being the only player in the squad to do so. I have faith in the kid. Something clearly not right mentally with him this year, but the whole squad has been playing without confidence. Maybe he needs some time on the bench, with Muto playing behind Rondon, or even throwing Murphy on, for competition.

I stopped watching coz I can’t take it anymore. It’s so depressing to watch our games now, and Soton seem to be opening us up at will. Feel like it’s gonna be a drubbing based on these opening minutes. We have zero quality going forward.

Depends on what you mean by 'chances' and even what you mean by 'created'! Depends what you mean by 'player' and even what you mean by 'weekend!'

Making fans think 10m quid gets you an EPL starter is the greatest trick Mike has ever pulled on our fanbase. People banging on about Atsu & Murphy's fees as if we just spent $50m on duds.

He frustrates me so much ?

Was it not more to do with the fact it should have been Perez? So fans now express sub opinions by proxy via booing? ? Not doubting you, the whole atmosphere is insane.

Mine goes upto 11.

Was he booed off or Joselu booed on? Either way, we have some of the worst fans in the world if what I heard on Telly were indeed boos.

I just don’t get how he’s still having it so easy in the ground. Is this forum that far from how the fans in the ground actually think? If an alien were to consume nothing about NUFC but this forum and then go to a match, he’s think we are a deluded minority.

Eh? Have you people not followed the news at all since MBS came into power? Just this month he's assassinated a journalist in a Saudi consulate in Turkey. MBS is the new boss of the Saudi regime, same as the old one, except young, and he fooled some people at the beginning of his reign by, er, letting women drive. And opening cinemas. My stomach would churn if we were taken over by him. It would definitely a moral and ethical dilemma, but hey, if he invests, and it means Ashley Out, a part of me would look forward to celebrating us lifting a trophy.

I'm sorry, the goal was entirely down to Diame. As soon as he gave that FK away, I was 99.9% certain it was a goal. Fernandez also did the same at home, it seems our players are too thick to understand how they shouldn't foul right at the edge of the box in the PL. You get punished with the quality around.

could you imagine the piss up bender those 4 would go on every week? “I like beer!”

Surely this apathy from fans is the most heartbreaking thing about today? You have the fat man and his cronies sitting there. It should’ve been toxic for him from the first minute.

Any anti Ashley chants?

How is that? Look this sort of thing is weird, Rafa will make mistakes Fair enough and yes, every great manager’s resume is littered with bad transfer mistakes, but having money to spend means you get it right more than you get it wrong. Unfortunately under Ashley you’re working with peanuts so when you make a mistake it shines bright.

The morons standing up and angrily protesting Rafa’s decision to replace Ritchie need never to be allowed into SJP again. I wonder if they’ve ever spewed that much anger at Ashley.

Okay. Joselu is better at pressing and holding it up in this system. Mitrovic will tell you the same thing. His hold up play today has been worse than anything Mitro produced. Fans doing Ashley’s bidding by questioning Rafa instead of asking why he wasn’t allowed to spend actual money on a real striker, and why we have had to get a 5m Joselu and another loanee. But please, let’s focus on the small picture and continue this wank fest Mitro fans initiate every single match.

"This fixation is so irrational I must go into the thread named after him and tell everyone."

Never said you couldn't, I'm just talking from my perspective. You may or may not have noticed that Tubes does my utter nut in, with his trillionth post about how Rafa should be walking away, and me asking him to shud up already. Agreed. I just see some people applying the Fairness Doctrine to this situation like CNN does to anthropogenic climate-change deniers. That shit is problematic, because without the proper context, one could argue that there is one cult persecuting people for their views. And news organizations like CNN are 100% correct in doing so. However silly or dangerous one's views, censorship is, of course, never the answer. What's funny is that the same people who are afforded an international platform, total freedom, to air their views, then cry persecution when they get called out, or someone refutes their claims You have a right to speak your mind, you don't have the right to not let others speak theirs in return. If you're going to post dumb shit, get used to being called one. That's not the point. They are not correct in treating such views equally to accepted science, and creating controversy where there is none. Not about censorship, but reminding less-informed people that they are fringe conspiracy theories that are not taken seriously for a good reason. Massive difference. Not when it comes to climate science, an issue that actual governments treat like totally not a settled matter, as seen in the US. It's hardly fringe when the gov't is gutting the EPA based on this supposed fringe. As a news org, it's your duty at that point to have someone on who's on the side of all this power. It's your job at that point to refute them point by point, by having actual scientists there who can do so. yes, but having a soundbite format with one scientist and one denier makes it appear like it is a controversy. It is one glaring problem with the Fairness Doctrine, and has worked to the advantage of big oil by throwing manufactured doubt in the mix, and already capitalizing on people's natural confirmation bias. I agree the format of our entire news television is terrible, and not conducive to long-form debates or chats, where nuance can actually come through. Instead almost all of these chats devolve into shouting matches.
