More bothered about being a fucking "baller", what a bell end, he'll be tumbling down the league's faster than his beloved mackems at this rate. Overrated charva prick.

We've said it for 12 years but all it would take for Ashley to get left alone would be to give Rafa what he needs and stop meddling, just disappear into the background and let the club be run by people who know what they're doing. He could have his tatty advertising, his sponsorships and deals, so long as Rafa has the tools to compete. It'll never happen, but it would be so easy!

Self professed classy fans

MasterCard don't do Mickey Mouse cups, but if they did...

that is all.

I sure hope we can get relegated twice so we can win the checkforaids trophy, Halcyon days indeed.

Have they started a petition to rename their city Suderlad yet?

I'm going to go for Dubravka red card and penalty when mis-timing a block just for the additional non-event in the Everton game rage.

International breaks always bring the best out in here

Players do and will influence a game, if a ref is 50/50 a mass appeal is bound to help him make his mind up. Unfortunately it is part and parcel of the modern game.

Even without black and white tinted specs you've got to admit Bobby is one of if not the greatest English manager there has been.

Keep them going IC, love them. Arsenal always seem to have our number at their place, can't see anything but a home win. Prove me wrong Rafa

Pelanty

It was no secret he was motm in the reverse fixture so why wouldn't you do your best to keep him quiet? Probably the same supporters that turn on our own team when an opposing manager changes tact/formation and we're under the cosh, it's like there can only ever be one side to the story and there are no mitigating factors.

I love how one quiet game and all of a sudden he's a fat slob, a mess, lazy and a premadonna. If he was consistent we'd be uttering his name in the same breath as Messi and Ronaldo, but don't let that detract you from the fact that on his day he's unstoppable, one of the best players to play in B&W. Opinions, as they say, are like arseholes and we have a few arseholes on here. I won't try and convince anyone I'm right, in my eyes I am and I love the guy, I wish he could have seen out his career here.

See his agent touting him in hope of an improved contract in the summer. Tbf he probably does deserve a pay rise as he's mostly been solid this season but the tone of the agent just sounds greedy and why go to the press?

City are rampant at the moment, can't see how or where they could slip up, pretty much nailed on to win the PL in this mood. They are a force.

See the prick who bitch slapped Grealish just got 14 weeks sentence, hope he drops the soap.

Bit weird mate Nonetheless, hanging fire for a second or so is a bit different to a couple of minutes... So no one else looks at the lino to check? I do, it’s not weird at all. If there’s a chance of an offside/foul/handball in the build up then i always hang fire in case it gets disallowed. Yes, joking aside, we probably all do glance at the linesman, if we think there's something, usually offside, potentially wrong with any goal. But as I say, that's a second or so that doesn't impede upon the spontaneity of your celebration. Hanging fire while they check 17 different camera angles to look at something will. It was very evident in that brilliant goal Tadic scored at Madrid last week. Quick glance at the linesman is a part of winding up the spring. I held my breath for what seemed like an eternity after that 3rd goal against Everton, then I went mad when I realised it wasn't given. If it's a fine margin then yes I will glance to see if a call has been made before celebrating.

Always stood by Ayoze, he can be awful sometimes but he always comes back with a worldy of a game. I wish he was more consistent, but then if he was uncle Mike would have him down the pawn shop as soon as we looked away. He keeps playing like that and putting those game saving goals away he can celebrate how the hell he wants.

I need to see this also

I only saw it in real time, I thought Rondon was on, but after that none red card for Pickford even if it was offside then we deserved it.

I wouldn't change that match for anything, that first half made the second so much sweeter, I've not been that invested in a win in I can't remember how long! All the sweeter it was against these horrible cunts.

Those changes by Rafa really turned the game on its head, brilliant second half, glad I decided to turn it back on to follow it. I'm off to get myself a pacemaker

5 minutes for what??
