Not looking forward to this, one bit. Hate Rodgers and hate Vardy.

Can only be a good thing for us long term. Ok, he might punish us, transfer wise in the short term but he's doing that anyway. As soon as he realises that he needs the money from selling us, the better.

I get the feeling Shelvey doesn't gel with others very well. Aye, he will be off.

Never thought I'd say this but I quite like Merson. Always thought he was just a thick cunt but turns out he's got a lot of demons and fair play to him for opening up about it.

He's a good player that's why. Wasn't he captain too? If Rafa makes you captain, you can't be bad.

It's better when you barely know the refs name. Or the days when there were respectable refs around like Ellis, Gallagher, Dallas or Collina.

Regardless of whether he's making the correct decisions or not, it's clear Dean's reputation has now put him in an untenable position. Fans of all clubs must look and see Dean's refereeing before the match and shudder, which begs the question, does it affect the players? Do defenders start tackling less because they are worried he will send them off. Do players start diving more? It's time he was kicked into the championship.

See you next year thread.

Longstaff's rise has somewhat overshadowed Haydens performances. He's been absolutely fantastic and it will be a shame if he leaves. He's doubled his value.

Why does he go out on the piss all the time and will slag the club off when he leaves.

Perez injured or did he go down the tunnel in a huff?

Yeah Fed has had a mare. Odd.

Quiet half from Almiron but he's had the key moment in this game. Lovely strike from the big man. Deserved lead, should have had pen and possibly a red card for them too. Playing like a side in form, Perez has been excellent again.

Yep saw that. He's as thick as he sounds. "Who did you go for in this game, Clinton?" Then he looks for his bit of paper he's written it on? Surely you know you cretin?

I think Shelvey career is all but over at Newcastle. He might get a couple of cameo's until the end of the season but he will be sold in the summer.

What else could Rafa have done. Start Shelvey, perhaps but apart from that...

Dummett in a 3 surely (his best position IMO). Rafa is unlikely to go back to a 4. At least he can change formation during the game if he wishes.

Can see Dummett stepping into either a centre back role in a 3 or taking Richies wing back place. Is be surprised if Clark got in before Dummett.

With Rafa, there's a much better chance of us fluking (wrong word perhaps), a top 6 finish or doing something a bit special. At worst, we will stay in the league.

They probably will.

Nice graphic IC, btw.

Schar missing aye? Dubz Yedlin Fernandez Lascelles Lejeune Dummett Shelvey Hayden Perez Rondon Almiron

Jesus there is some karma knocking about at the moment.

He's a floppy haired little twat.
