In some respects, they should hate that game too as it contributed hugely to giving the title to Man Utd..

I wonder how comparable the atmosphere will be (to the Spurs 5-1 game).

What a fucking hit

Perfect description of how the game played out.

Sorry. You're both right. O'Brien As LoG said, another truly awful game glossed over by a last minute winner

I was a shite day all round. On the bus leaving Blackburn, the local radio guy was going on like they'd just won the champions league with the best performance of all time. I don't remember Tom's Diner from that day but i remember it being sung there the following season when we went and won 0-1 to a last minute Steve Howey goal.

I was at that game. What a performance it was.

In this situation in isolation of course, but if he believes a word Ashley or Charnley says, I'd say so.

It would indicate to me that Rafa is naive. Ashley will go back on anything, even if it's in writing.

I seem to remember all the positive body language signs he showed when Staveley was about to buy the club. Fucking Ashley is involved, man. It's going to end badly for us.

What a knobhead

I think you are forgetting that only last week, Charnley confirmed that the intention is, yet again, simply to stay in the PL. There is no plan for progression.

He isn't going anywhere.

I agree in principle as I'd love Rafa to call them out publicly because that'd get Ashley's blood boiling. That tactic is counter productive however if Rafa wants a future here. If Rafa speaks out now, the more likely it'll be that Ashley will let his contract run down just to spite him. Rafa can't win this battle. He either accepts no ambition or leaves.

Personally, I couldn't give a fuck. The club will be dead to me. Same .................so Pardew Yep. If anything, i'll be hoping for the worst appointment possible.

Personally, I couldn't give a fuck. The club will be dead to me.

It will, The Championship.

OGS won't be there at the start of 2020.

I don't understand. I thought the answer to "should I give Mike Ashley more of my money?" would be an easy one to answer.

He's Ashley's very own Smithers. He's doing a perfect job in Ashley's eyes.

So detached from football you are in a niche football forum posting about a title race I'm not detached from the people and the craic in here, nor specifically, the club i've supported for 40 years (even though that's hanging by a thread too). I just don't bother watching football on TV or reading about it in the press and therefore as such my knowledge of the modern game is pretty terrible.
