Exciting round this with Brighton playing Huddersfield and Burnley playing Crystal Palace.

I clearly remember the booing. It was embarrassing. It's happened to other players too when it seems bizarre and unjustified. I suppose we can reconcile that by realising that if 500 people in a crowd of 50,000 are audibly booing then that becomes the story. It's the 50th time I've made exactly the same point, but James Milner was booed. A player who always put in his all and didn't even want to leave. If he's getting booed you've got no chance. It's not just us either, it's the modern football fan going blindly tribal and it's a right shame. Don't think it was as much the player that was booed as the decision to play him over other choices. He wasn't very good for us. A carthorse on the wing that did more back passes than Damian Duff. He couldnt beat a man and his crossing was poor. Maybe if he had been tried more centrally for us like when he was at his first loan at Villa it would have been different, but at the time I thought it was a no brainer to sell him at that price provided we got someone better in.

Crazy video. 14 goals and about 10 of them are absolute crackers. I probably enjoyed the very first he scored against Everton the most, although it's nowhere near the best of course. Still can't believe we had a player of such natural ability and threw it away. If Pardew randomly knocked on my door right after I had watched that or similar HBA video I might have tried to choke him to death.

Hard to argue that he isn't at the moment.

I'm so out of touch with football these days (thanks Ashley). Who tf are Gomez and Chillwell?

Nah, would just end up with everyone having the same players Had Salah as triple captain this week. A bit dissapointing but still ended up with highest score in all my leagues this week

Wish he'd had stayed at Newcastle and that the entire team was built around him.

I luv u hatam

It's kind of catchy and well done though unlike the pure cringe that is the newcastle video last page.

So disappointing to see him and Shola on there

I don't go to many games since I live in Norway. Usually travel one time per season, most often with my father to get some quality time together since we live very far away from each other and don't get to see each other that often anymore. He has supported Newcastle since his first visit when he was 15 and working on a ship, I was left with little choice luckily enough. Not directly related to the Wolves match, but instead of going to Newcastle this year (and for the foreseeable future) I'm visiting him in Spain for a week. There's always other things you can do than giving money to Ashley. Oh, and both of us can point out Newcastle on the map. My father might even be able to give you co-ordinates as well.

As if we'd buy a better player to replace him Rafa: Ayoze, if you don't improve we're going to replace you. Perez: Righto boss, course you are. Rafa: Fuck

4 goals in 10 matches

The boycott boycott feedback form?

Am I mixing someone up here, or did you travel to Nice for a match where he ended up not playing? Good luck on your next travel

Dennis Rommedahl. Jesper Grønkjær Vegard Heggem Bale, Giggs, Bellamy, Gillespie, Vardy (N/A if you apply the "do not use the pace effectively" criteria)

We take the piss for Ashley offering to take them on holiday, but it appears our players can't even afford to buy socks or pants that fit. Shelvey could use a pair of Ashleys pants

How do people have the energy to get annoyed about whom is interesting to talk about and not for others? I see the same here and in the Ben Arfa thread. If Mitrovic is of no concern or interest, nobody is forcing anyone to read through this thread. Let others who liked or disliked the player discuss as they want about him.

Guess it depends how you define best buy. I don't f.ex see Clark as a good buy as he was nothing special, and Rafa could easily have gotten a similar solid but unspectacular player in without much problems. Same goes for Ritchie and Gayle. They were the right players for the job at the time, but nothing to build upon once PL survival was secured. Try finding as good a keeper as Dub for the same price.

Boring EURO announcement.

Most important and best signing Rafa has done. The other good signings hes done are still signings that needs to be improved at some point or are getting on age wise. Dubravka has many years left and is the second last player that needs to be replaced in the squadability wise after Lascelles.

No club can force a player to move. They can permit a bidding club to negotiate a contract with one of their players based on what has been agreed between the bidder and seller but the player can just turn around and say no thanks, not interested.

Things like this just make me love him more. Yup Do we have any stories like this from his time here so far, except for the "man on" with Lascelles trying to get home after training?
