Look at some of the rubbish we've played out wide in the PL since our last promotion: Alsoran, Raylor, Jonas, Sammy, Barton. Knockaert pisses all over them.

Not the right fit for Rafa, the club 'model' or the player. Not a lot of point in discussing it.

Come on, man He's a very decent player to have on the counter. I've no idea why Spurs bought him, mind. Sums up my thoughts exactly. You could barely find a midfielder less suited to Pochettino's style.

Under 2-1s? Is that where they put a restriction on the amount of the goals you can score? Nah, different tournament re. Viana.

Nah. You've got to remember, even when fit he was being rotated with Colback. Clark's one of the first names on Rafa's teamsheet.

I'd read that more as evidence of the conditions needed for him to thrive.

Who writes this shit?

Wouldn't be opposed to him being first choice? We went down the last time that happened.

Gayle and Shelvey. I wouldn't think anyone else.

Shot stopping's the easiest part of keeping anyway. At Championship and PL level they're all good at that.

We're running really hard - can't sustain it all game - and playing against a German B team. Hardly our strongest Xl, like.

Gotta wonder if Defoe will score that 96th minute winner to keep them up if going down means he's effectively able to return to London and write his own pay cheque.

I'd think he'd possibly be the best option for that position, like.

Never agreed with you more, Paully. Kluivert was still a class act.

That one I can appreciate.

TT mixing his drinks again.

I found a lot of Tinder dates were pleasantly surprised that I was truthful about my height. Apparently 'just over 6 foot' usually implies 5'10.5" at a maximum. Nice little icebreaker, actually.

Well, aye. Thick arseholes on this forum with tenuous (at best) links to the club making the rest of us look like mongs.

Make money and continue to deal with a manager who doesn't make demands. Apparently more important than winning stuff.

As far as him playing for us in the PL I think we all know that ship has sailed now. He's just better in the no.10 position than what we're playing there now.

Cronky's been right in his corner since his debut against Chelsea 6 years ago, like. Even when Cardiff sacked him off.

:lol: The complete opposite. You're a good man, Nees.

He's right that Benitez won't consider an alternative to Colback, and he's right that Colback makes it harder to play better passing football. Sheesh. Thanks man. It was really that simple. Nothing is ever as simple as you appear, like. This whole thing is strange to me, but I hope you at least enjoyed using it to continue to build this persona of yours, and you feel better about yourself. I just wish you weren't so relentlessly daft, mate. Rafa Benitez, Champions League Winner, changing his entire attacking system that had us steamrolling the league because he can no longer rotate Colback with Hayden. People have been thrown down wells for being less stupid than that, man. Come on.

Aye, everyone knows a new addition for that position should be a priority if we go up.
