The only explanation is that Rafa expected him to be out the door during pre season.

What a little wanker.

'If you can just take a left here and RAFAS A DULL c***'. Nah, crumpy is a good wum. Admire him.

It's a weird business model, like. 'Sit with me while I wind you up about all things NUFC.'

If we survive by the skin of our teeth though... Guess who wins again.

Seems like it'll be tomorrow then a revised one at the end of the January window.

When's it getting announced?

This is what makes it so bloody frustrating. It shouldn't be unrealistic in the slightest but it is because of this fat oaf.

There'll be loads of stories fed to the press about how we resisted the temptation to sell Gayle but absolute silence from the club itself about the window. It'd be incredible if the content writers went rogue and backed Rafa's corner completely though.

£11m net spend. Let that sink in. Disgusting stuff.

They'll have had him in a room all day telling him if he puts the transfer request in they'll let him go home to watch Wrestlemania

Ludicrous this, man. Imagine if it goes through? Fulham nicking our best goalscorer and simultaneously smashing our transfer record in the process. It would tell you everything you needed to know about the state of this club.

Little ginger wanker. I bet the younguns are running rings round him in training.

Any mention of a fee?

He's just saying that apart from the injuries he was sometimes absolutely cack in black and white.

If Rafa goes, the club is dead until Ashley's gone. There'd be no way to argue otherwise and dropping like a stone would probably be the only way he'd even consider selling the club. Currently, the club is probably dead as well but there's the symbol of hope for the future in Rafa. It's such a desperately frustrating situation, because as much as you want to believe in a positive future, it's nigh on impossible when you consider what came before.

Amazing if true.

Brilliant cross from Salah, that. It's hard to work out just how well Liverpool have actually played due to Arsenal's absolute incompetence.

What a fucking bloke.
