I fucking hate that he got away with January on the cheap, shortchanged Rafa again and yet RB works miracles and this fat prick is the beneficiary.

I just can't see it (them coming calling), but if they did he would be off I'm sure. Their CEO talked of them making a bold appointment - that wouldn't be Rafa and I just don't think he fits the image of Arsenal that has been established since Wenger took over. Listening to their fans on the radio yesterday as I was driving I think the majority would be very unhappy if Rafa was appointed. Agree with this. It doesn't seem a natural fit to me.

Where are all those enthusiastic folk nowadays?

:lol: . Wonder if there is a sub-category that they've created especially for him?

Any chance they can ram some fucking useless international friendlies in during this 'break'? The flow of the season is interupted by these tossing games, so let's take the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone here.

There's some talk today in the Times that he's being looked at this Monday again by Southgate as an alternative to Wilshere/Lallana due to their fitness concerns.

Yeah - can see that all day long. I do feel he (Rafa) is holding on for a takeover and if that's completely dead then the job is massively less attractive to him.

. Taking your point though, another year of Kenedy would be great. It's ironic that Ashley's model of 'sign them young, with resale value, use a 'head coach' to develop them and then flog them for a profit' is perfectly suited to this scenario. I could easily see us signing Kenedy for £18m or so, Rafa developing the shite out of him, and flogging him in 18 months for upwards of £40m. Ashley needs to trust in Rafa. Imagine him with a budget and some solid criteria around what's expected of him. He's outperform every bloody time.

He doesn't even strike me as a 'Rafa' type player anyway. no but what rafa wants rafa should get...don't see him having the attitude or workrate myself Agreed. Silly idea - get back to shark wanking HTT.

We have. We made it permanent after the first few months of the season. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/mikel-merino-signs-newcastle-united-13755404

No way.

'The league of late goals' what the fuck you on about Tyler you mental owld cunt?

Spurs have looked so disjointed tonight.

That's fucking ludicrous over two seasons that.

Same as last year. About 300.

Don't think Abraham has shown enough this year regardless of how he's been managed. Zouma an interesting option. I'd be prioritising a number 10 and a top level forward or two.

Southampton would piss it surely?

Loan for 7 mill Bargain. We spent just a tad over that on Lejeune ffs .

Doubt the cunt can Read. I bet he reads all the self help books and psychology books using his new found knowledge in the changing room. The Sea World Guide to Crowd Fret.

Is Zouma on loan at Stoke or permanent?

Not good enough for Rafa = not good enough for me.

Thought he got caught too narrow a few times today, at one point in the first half, he was too narrow and he switched off too which almost cost us. Overall I'd say he's had a really acceptable season and that if Rafa stays, he'll develop him into a proper top full back. If you could create a Yedders/Dummett clone you'd be onto something.......

It was interesting to see RB's comments about youth prospects and the importance of the academy bearing fruit (one player minimum each year etc). Tiresias - wonder if he see's anyone in there yet that might fit your bill?
