  1. Absolutely making a hash of this season. Said it from week 1 of the season. Resources we have versus the turgid s**** he serves up week in week out is unacceptable. I'll say it again, if Pardew was in charge there would be up roar. I don't get the support for Rafa.

     

    up roars m8

  2. Always fun to re-quote this:

     

    I dont know why everyone is so negative towards this bloke. After all after the portsmouth game you were all licking his arse stating how much of a good job he has done etc etc etc. Now after a poor xmas period (which we never f***ing do well in anyway) you want him out. From reading this forum for a while everytime we go through a bad patch the majority of regular posters want the manager out. Joe Kinnear has done a decent job considering the state that the club is in. Had we won those tight games in which we drew we would be level on points with Wigan who by all accounts are having a great season.

     

    What we need is a little bit of stability and if Kinnear is going to give us a few seasons of mid table consolodation while putting in place a quality scouting network and continue to develop our academy then so be it.

     

    The last thing we need is to get rid of him and bring in another high paid so called savoiur only to be in the same position. The problems we have are not going be fixed by changing the manager, its much deeper than that. If it wasnt for Kinnear lets face it we would probably be bottom of the league right now, but with Kinnear we are in 11th position.

     

    The problem with this forum is that the majority of posters only know Newcastle United from KK first reign in charge and therefore havent seen or experienced the dark days of the eighties and early ninety's where we were really s***. I am not saying this position that the club finds itself in is acceptable but it could be a lot worse....look at Leeds United.

     

    Kinnear done miracles at Wimbledon, give him a chance to change us around..... we may be suprised

     

    :lol: This can't be real surely? Surely this level of erm...intelligence....is unheard of?

  3. We could lose 16-0 today and Huddersfield could win 123-0 and we'll still comfortably go up.

     

    Wish people would stop wetting themselves for absolutely no reason.

     

    Ultimately Rafa knows there are no guarantees until it's a mathematical reality, and I believe he will be incessantly drilling this into the players' heads as a collapse now could be a monumental disaster for us as a top class football club.

  4. Comparing us to those teams won't go down well.

     

    Yup. Villa kept a clean sheet whereas we couldn't. 50 million pound embarrassment. I like Rafa but he's very flawed.

  5. I can enjoy my football for the first time in over a decade, I have Rafa to thank for that.

     

    :thup:

     

    You know what, I'd still be 10000% behind Benitez even if we'd been in a playoff spot now and would feel more or less confident that we would make a serious push to get into the promotion spots. I want a manager who knows what the fuck they're doing, treats football like a sport and not a popularity contest, and once in a while communicates with the fans. Don't give a fuck what division we're in tbh.

  6. Some people have really lost touch with reality and think that football is like Champ Manager. Anyone who thinks Rafa has done anything less than a bloody fantastic job on the verge of getting this rabble promoted wants their head checked. 50 million my arse. As if things are always that linear man ffs.
