Ronaldo

Not sure what those limitations have got to do with him being absolutely owned in the penalty box due to lack of agility, mind.

I have thought that about the intro on Sky, SJP looks class on it. I will be taking a keen interest in the Championship next year as it's going to be very competitive. You mean a keen interest in the mackems floundering around near the bottom of a "shit pub league" IF they go down they have their work cut out, the play off teams are all good, then you have to consider that Villa should be there after a pre season under their belt as well as maybe Norwich too. Then you have the other two PL teams who go down. Hope we go up soon so I can enjoy the play off race and play offs themselves. Fulham and Reading will stink out the play offs. I think the League 1 and League 2 play offs will be more entertaining. What a weird comment.

We were talking specifically about players Rafa's brought in, to be fair. That's my polite response. I was tempted to be far harsher but I know you're ever so sensitive these days.

It wasn't just for their goal, he did it a few times. Earlier in the season he was dropped because of his mistakes and should be again. Unfortunately there's no one better to come in with Clark injured. CB has to be a big priority area in the summer window.

Take out any one of Gayle, Ritchie and Clark and I dread to think where we'd be in the league, tbh.

Diame's return has been disappointing too. Mitigated by the fact he's unsuited to playing that high up the field, and his legs aren't what they were.

Only 6 goals in the league. It's a pretty disappointing return, like.

2014 wants its post back.

You've got to give Pep credit, like. What a game.

I do hope Guardiola's work in the PL genuinely encourages a shift away from the cuntball played by Mourinho and his Poundland disciples.

3 goals in 11 for them is better than I thought he'd do, to be fair.

Flying a plane over your nearest rivals' football stadium to convey well wishes to a dying child? Honestly, the world's just a fucking insane place.

Even though you've never liked him?

Accept what, you utter weirdo? HTT was talking shit so I pulled him on it. Nothing to do with Rafa you daft baby.

He's not been nearly as good for us with Gayle out of the side. Now he's back I expect him to finish strongly. Definitely a player who relies on very good movement in front of him to be effective.

Chris Hughton far more of an NUFC legend than Beardsley, man. As if I'm even indulging this nonsense.

He was sacked because he tried and failed to convince the players to sign the bonus sheet in 10-11.

Not even close. And Hughton was told who to pick. Read Barton's autobiography.

Its known as dong a Ronny! I've never said owt remotely as ludicrous as that, like.

HTT's gone full retard now, like.

You're having a laugh now, like. Hughton deserves a lot of credit for the way he dealt with an awful situation here, but fucking come on. Off the pitch he was told who to play and on it he had a tonne of leadership in the league's best side by a mile.

Rafa isn't a negative manager, he's constantly telling the players to get forward when I look at him. If we're being honest, if your idea of positive football is expansive a la Keegan/Ancelotti or pressing like Guardiola/Klopp/everyone who pretend to be them, he absolutely is negative. I don't give a fuck, though. I just want us to score more goals than the opposition more often than not and build from there.

Routledge was and is twice the player.

I'm complaining about how people think Rafa is some king which you described him as earlier. He's doing about as good of a job I'd expect others with similar resources available to him to do. Btw, I've never liked the bloke so I'll always will be in the negative camp with him. I won't change that opinion but having an opposite opinion on here is never totally respected as has been seen many a time. "Never liked him." Aye, that's absurd. Come on, Nessy. You must be able to recognise how daft that is?

Bang on.
