Hang on, I might be missing something, but when did WE make public that we wanted £35m? Is that an official announcement that we made? Rafa actually said we haven't set a price and we'll sell only if the deal if right for the club.

Considering Rafa himself has said there has been movement this week with him, I suspect Sky are full of shit.

Sounds promising.

Nervous.

Yep, for confidence it's huge too. Absolutely nightmare going into Saturday's game if we've lost the first three. Have to win.

Aye Rafa is trying to make excuses as to why he is not playing - wrong mind as he is getting paid 50 grand a week. Might be that he's on the verge of a move mind.

Did he deliver this message in a Wyatt Family-esque WWE promo? I dont think so?

It's just laughable after the s**** we've endured that people can get so dismissive of the best we've had/can ever hope for. Rafa is definitely due criticism...but nothing more. Exactly! After all these years of watching absolute rubbush, throwing cup games, going months without a win under Pardew, John Carver reading out letters allegedly written by the club captain, Steve McClaren laughing after getting thumped 5-1 at Chelsea and so on, it's going to take more than a couple of defeats to dent my enthusiasm too much. The managers I've mentioned weren't capable of getting things right, they simply weren't good enough. We now have one of the world's best managers at the helm. We need to give him our trust and our time safe in the knowledge rhat he will get it right. People have short memories. Rafa is building a club. He's trying to change everything from top to bottom. Of course the first couple of results have been shit but there's a much bigger picture. The bloke knows what he's doing, we need to give him as much time as he needs.

Finishes by saying we have good players coming.

Rafa - 'we will be stronger soon'

I'm at the point now where I think I'd take Crouch.

I can only assume we're a. Waiting to sell Sissoko or b. waiting to see what we can get from the premiership at the end of the window.

A week

Yes?

Yep, and against villa but they persuaded him.

What have we done this time? Too much pressure etc. Probably best we don't turn up for games.

What have we done this time?

It won't if we don't sign a playmaker we are crying out for one there is just no link from midfield to attack We need the ball to stick up top, mitrovic or someone like him will help us massively.

Oh dear.

he was our best player by a mile, he makes a few ricks and doesn't do what we thought he was about but was still our best player, he tried to create things. to say he was diabolical shows me you know fuk all about football , im no big Shelvey fan but take him out of that team today and it would have been a bigger pile of sh1te than i watched. Ignore him, knows nowt. Hahhahahahahhahahaha. Your a complete loser. Oh dear.

We did not improve a lot in the second half like, not even close. From what I've been told the fans were angry and frustrated almost throughout, too. I was there. They weren't. You seem to be the only one saying it. They fans were very patient imo. Although I did see a couple of guys start chinning each other for some reason.

Fortunately that guy's a notorious WUM. Aye. Probably not alone in his thinking though.
