He realistically couldn't go with his head due to the way people run and there was no malice in what he did. It was dangerous play like but I'd expect to see my striker going for that challenge. Shearer pretty much got it spot on.
I do wonder how many people have played football at times...
He'll turn up at the Liberty Stadium I reckon like. Avoid this week's pressers, get fixed, raise spirits, beat Swansea, rest for a day or two more then back up.
At this juncture its pointless the Ron asking him fucking questions as if he gives a shit or will answer them . They need to start a campaign ( by any means necessary ) to drive him out .
That's what they are doing
I think once the dust settles Benitez will just craic on like. There's understandably uproar from the fans, but I think he'll be desperate to kick on with the next match.
Why shouldn't the papers whip up a frenzy? it's a farce a world class manager is here in the first place, never mind being treated like a mug by a low class owner. It's scandalous, you can't really blame them for making it so.
Fair point. They're not doing it for the right reasons though or for our benefit rather.
Tbh like I think it's probably a little sad this but even if everyone on social media put a picture of Rafa for the next few days or upto the Swansea game it'd just be a good subtle little protest but would show our love and support for him even more. Let's face it he is our only current hope.
Honestly man the papers will have had all these articles already typed last January man. They just want to be the first to report shit regardless of whether it has any validity.
I think I need to avoid this forum for now for a week when it gets back to football.
I don't necessarily disagree with the sentiments but the media will whip this up into a worse scenario if we let it too. Not that they'd be the main culprits like obviously.
For now we need to hope Rafa rides this one last punch and pulls out a miracle until January. That will be the third strike and out. I hope...At least
Think you're in for a shock mind no chance a manager of his stature will stop under the current shambles
I won't be shocked either way to be honest. But I just choose to believe we are surrounded by light and not darkness as a certain legend said...
Guarantee the post window press conference will have the press all desperate to suggest he is moving on to West Ham or other clubs and asking awkward questions that back Benitez I to a corner. Only for him to say "it is disappointing but we know where we are at and we must stick together with the fans on our side and move onto the next game against Swansea which will be tough but we will be prepared."
Simply cause he's a top man.
Probably my heart ruling my head but that's how it will pan out and he will be here until February at least
Think we should all just take a step back to be honest. Rafa won't leave not yet anyways. Stay focused on getting behind him and his mags.
When the seemingly inevitable happens we all got 100% at removing Ashley though
