Nobody

Harsh. We were told previously they were "open to the idea of helping the manager".

I actually thought Rafa would have tried to peddle him in the summer if we got a decent offer, but it'd be pretty stupid to sell him now. Suppose the higher ups see we've got Merino, Hayden and Diame all playing in CM, can't be having four players fighting for two spots

Nearly half way through Benitez' deadline for when he wanted the business to be done and it sounds like no cunt has a clue what's going on

Not even a semi-controversial thing happened in the entire game like

That's Sako out of our price range.

Townsend off injured

To be fair, in the only "next rounds" the FA Cup gods have had to worry about in the last few years they gave you Championship Brighton and then Oxford United. Aye, but that's when we've looked to not win the sodding thing. Now we have Rafa who doesn't give a shite about the instructions from the top and don't have to play nine games a week in the Championship.

Brighton winning. Been the better side so far like

Hard fought draw here please

Fuck sake

His argument is that when he fucks up, he gets hammered much more than he would if he was 100% Swedish. He's fair game, because he's not really Swedish when he fucks up, only when he's great. That's not really been the case at all though. I'm sure he has experienced racism against him, especially when he was younger, but the not from the media who has always been hyping him up as the bestest thing ever over here. Think the only time he's been heavily criticised is when he was sent home before an International game with Sweden, but then so was Mellberg and someone else that I can't remember, so it wasn't just him.

Actually quite nice to be able to see what he describes, shows what a miserable bastard he is.

Like who? Money isn't really an object for Barcelona either, they've replaced Neymar with the two players they really wanted.

I was raised catholic and I'm about the same age as him and never heard anyone in the church discuss homosexuality. Also I don't think he's even catholic as pons said Are you saying homophibia is not a thing in religious circles? Just cause you weren't raised with them doesn't mean it's not a widespread problem within religious circles. Not saying that that's why he said that, but I don't think it even matters much what a 16 year old says tbh. Not in my experience in the past twenty years or so, no. Before that, it would have been an issue I presume. Not sure about other religions or catholicism in less developed countries mind Like I said, surely you know that there is rampant homophobia in certain religious circles? Not that I think it's even relevant in this case like.

We should be trying our best to bring Butland in. :lol: You not think he’s any good? Very much the opposite but Pickford went to Everton for £30m. Butland is equal to or better than Pickford. Let's just say I can't see it happening. Pickford fee was massively inflated to hype and Everton going money mad. I can’t see any clubs bigger than us going in for him, and if Stoke go down then they will probably need to sell. He may still be expensive for us without a takeover, but if we get taken over then we should certainly have him on our watch list. Dunno mind, and I admire your optimitism but, both Arsenal and Liverpool both need better goalkeepers. He'll be on the radar for each of them IMO. Doubt it, both of them will likely go after bigger names, like Oblak. Liverpool will just throw loads of money at Southampton for Forster. Wonder how much Oblak would go for in this market like. Unless his release clause is lower, he's surely worth well over £50m.

Mourinho has been sacked from his last two jobs. Very few managers see out their contracts or leave on their own accord.

Seeing as they "battered" us in the second half without him, maybe it was worth the risk to play him in the first to ensure the win?

Man City away

Benitez should've done a Pardew and just threw the game to keep our players fit IMO. Who wants to try to win a cup anyway? What's that got to do with my post? Lascelles going off is really shit and in hindsight, I'd rather he was not injured? Battering Luton in the first half was significantly overshadowed by the injury... Only if you're a miserable sod.

The 381 fans they took to Gateshead were more indicitave of their real support so while they're entitled to enjoy their day out, I for one won't be in awe of their 'magnificent' support this weekend. Christ, how fucking bitter do you have to be to think like this?

Who plays that pass from the back to the last Morata chance?

Come on, surely it takes more than the slightest touch for it to be a penalty? If not, there'll be penalties all over the place.

Getting in on this.
