  2. Stifler got in contact with AS about her proposed takeover as a fan wanting to reach out in a hope to help rid us of FCB and everyone has decided to stick the boot in, in the name of "bantz"

    We'll never get to see the avatars in action because they've all gone eerily quiet for some unbeknownst reason?

    Whilst all of that is true - Ashley wont see past the fact that we’ve survived relegation. In his eyes, it will have been an overwhelming success and further evidence that he doesn’t need to spend millions of pounds on players whilst we have Rafa. Infuriating but most definitely true. Suppose it hinges on the potential of a takeover. This is it for me, 7th or 17th there's not a huge difference in what it means financially to Ashley. Controversial, but if there was a greater divide in prize money as the top 6 wanted then maybe teams would try harder to break into that? I see the logic, but by increasing the prize money for the top 6 places, you automatically strengthen those teams already in it, thus making it harder for those outside of it to break in. It's a tough one to call because you don't want disparity but at the same time there needs to be incentive to try and challenge for outside the top 4

    Proof that even with VAR decisions are still subjective and will never be 100% accurate. Slowing the game down for no reason.

    How was that a pelanty?
  9. It's one of those highly important that we do and potentially irreparably damaging if we don't win games
  10. Really need the crowd onside for this one, if the groans creep in on every misplaced pass I can see us struggling under the pressure. We should be winning this one but shouldn't take it any lighter than the victory vs Manure, same concentration and commitment needed. 1-0 win
  11. My grammar Nazi OCD is going into overdrive tonight
  12. Fucking hate Manure and I'll be gargling bleach this evening but thank fuck for that!
  13. Outclassed, the better team with the better players won, our players didn't really fault tonight but just weren't good enough. I think they can come out of that with pride in what they put into it and it wasn't a thrashing. Lascelles so lucky at the end there! Hopefully Slimani will be back soon and the "easier" matches will help us pull away from the bottom. Chalk it off and move on to the next game.
  14. Surprising set up, but I'm really happy with that, needed a shake up. Happy Murphy gets a start.
  15. Was never confident, even at 2-0 and if we feel like that, you can sense the nervousness in here at 2-0 after half time, you've got to imagine that the players on the pitch have a similar feeling. We're never going to roast a team in this league, we're just not good enough, so even at 2-0 there's still a massive risk. It's shit and it feels like a loss but we aren't good enough, simple as that, Rafa has been telling us that all season and a 1-0 valiant victory against manure doesn't make us a different team all of a sudden. 4 points against Bournemouth and Manure is more than acceptable and had the results been the other way round we'd all be buzzing. We're edging closer to safety, we'll limp over the line eventually.
  16. My Birthday last week so my gf mum bought me the third kit, it's probably the lushest shirt we've had in a fair while tbf

    New TV Deal

    Theoretically it would make more sense for the viewer to have all the games in one package and only pay one set fee, however I'd imagine if Sky had exclusive rights to all games the price of that package would sky rocket exponentially making it more expensive than 2 separate entities.
  18. Missed the match because I was stuck in Manchester but fucking get the fuck fucking in ya bastards!!!!

    Rafa Benítez

    No because he hasn't got us relegated before. That's on Mike Ashley and Steve McClaren. If he had gotten us the points we needed, he would have saved us. He didnt so we got relegated... Tomato-Tomato There's a distinct difference between being unable to save something that was already damaged and being responsible for said damage as well you know. Rafa was not responsible for the last relegation potato-potato.
