Although, I'd have creamed more if Kirsty was reading it out. If I can get Hayley McQueen announcing the deal has been done I will never need pornhub again.

Played with absolutely no belief in himself whatsoever. Waste of a shirt atm.

so we changed our team to combat a burnley threat? FFS!!! If it was man city i could understand but fucking burnley?!! Sometimes i think rafa is trying to be too clever for his own good. Pick our best team and let fucking burnley worry about us.

How did he get a ticket? Thought we sold out ages ago.....did he know that far in advance he wasnt getting picked?☺

Just because they haven't been as bad as perez and joselu doesn't mean they've been "fine".

Has Diame arleady played a match today?

Perfect response to their "better the devil you know" pish. Well besides "fuck off".

Fucking pinch me! This man is our manager!!!! Don't think there is another person alive I'd rather have leading us. I'm in love!

I know it's trivial and probably won't affect me directly as a supporter of Big Mike's anti cup FC but it really boils my piss when after cup finals when the tv folk are interviewing (normally the winners) at pitch side and rest of the team are celebrating and 1-2 players are kept to the side to answer fecking idiotic questions (more so than normal "are you glad you won?") then at the end of the pointless interview the interviewer says something like "go and join your team-mates" as if they need their fucking permission or something.

Will be like a new signing when it's confirmed he is staying...... I'll get my coat......

There will always be Miss McQueen to ease the pain of feck all signings........

New signings?

Feels like I've started dating Rachel Riley and just know, deep down it's only a matter of time before she realises what she's got and fucks off for someone else.... Gonna enjoy it while it lasts tho!

least there is the international break coming up.....

FFS! Souness was right in his pre-match on Sunday (fuck, I hate saying that)..... two or three bad matches and the sky falls in. What was Rafa saying in his talk-in at Shearers? Will be tough times but when they happen we need to stay united. Genuinely wondering....are other fans of other clubs like this or just us cos of the soap opera bullshit that normally goes on with us?

Sitting in amongst the home fans. Our away fans are a fucking joy to witness!

RIP little fella. Thoughts and prayers with his family.

Mine neither.....cancelled order and bought it from touchingdistance.com website. On it's way to me in 24hrs! Cannae wait to get stuck in to it. Thought Tunnel of Love was brilliant.

If true this is heart breaking. Thoughts and prayers with his family and friends.

Well done Huddersfield! Northern club. Brilliant story etc. Think they'll get relegated next season though.

So fucking glad we are not involved in play offs!!

Just to echo what everyone else is saying. This is absolutely brilliant news!! On cloud 9. Thought these "talks" would drag on in to next week at least. Don't care how much the number is. As long as Rafa's happy I'm on board! Genuinely excited to see what kind of team he puts together over the summer.

This man's a super-grade fucking prick! Apparently wants to take charge of a club who will be challenging for trophies. Yeah, that will be fucking right!! If he took over at Real he'd have them relegated in one season. I think all managers have an ego but you can just tell he'd want to win a trophy just so a club builds a statue of him unlike our Rafa who is all about the club first.

Spent a lot of last night going through this thread. Still get dizzy when reading about him being confirmed in the job. Saw this on a page with an extract from a rag which sent a chill down my spine: "Newcastle had also sounded out former Manchester United boss David Moyes in the wake of Saturday's 3-1 home defeat to Bournmouth, but the Scotsman is believed to have been much more reluctant to take over a side that have claimed just six league victories all season." Fuck!! Imagine if that happened?
