Robster

Fair play if that's your opinion. Personally, I will never respect him. He did nothing in my eyes to earn it. I think we finished 5th in spite of him, not because of him.

Does anyone respect Pardew for finishing 5th ?

Is this a serious question. If so, I give you......

Just....... WHY ??

It's no surprise that players' focus and concentration is slipping

Mid table would suggest multiple wins. Just can't see us scoring enough goals to make that a reality. The Rafa system might avoid some defeats but I can't see it producing enough wins.

Still quoting Rafa's name at the end of October.

Boos and grumbles at Man City

You even bothered to consider it as a worthwhile story ?

Just noticed that Sheffield Wednesday are 3rd. They are clearly missing him

Hmmmm. Who to believe......

Well, just the backboard. We aren't made of money.

Good to have a manager that plans ahead

Much more attacking minded than that Spanish fella though.

Saturday morning and the pre match thread only just started. Says it all. Very sad. Agree. 3-0

Objected

He's just being polite. He's got his agent on the case.

It is. Rangers Football Club. The Celtic Football Club.

There's a reason that Bruce has one of the the worst managerial records in Premier League history. We've managed a win today against an absolutely abject Man Utd. Bruce's team will revert to type. The post Rafa set up will fade away eventually. He wont be able to rely on that for too long.

He will be on the piss for the next 2 weeks thinking all is well. We'll be completely unprepared for the next game and normal service will be resumed.

Long terms, he'll take us down. Getting the odd win will make sure talk of sacking him is kept to a minimum.

All down to this mans planning and tactical brain.
