He had Keegan who could have made it work, then Shearer and now Rafa. Maybe it's not true after all what they say about old dogs? Having said that, let's wait and see how the summer unfolds, but the signs right now indicate Ashley may have finally had an epiphany and decided to entrust a knowledgeable person with affairs of which he hasn't the faintest himself. As much of a legend Keegan was here having Rafa is a totally different kettle of fish to him or Shearer.

Reckon there's a fairly good chance we'll break it on a midfielder or a striker.

Not a bad list of players, that. Throw in Koulibaly the following summer for £5 million and it's the core of their current side, save for Higuain who was obviously sold for ridiculous money.

In his first season at Napoli Rafa signed Higuain, Albiol, Mertens, Callejon, Ghoulam, Jorginho and Reina for around £65 million. The market has been inflated since 2013, and obviously they could offer CL football, but it shows what you can get for that kind of money. We need to focus on markets not just in the UK but across Europe. With buy-out clauses, expiring contracts etc, you can certainly do a lot with £70 million+ even in today's market. Not to mention some loans to pad out the squad.

aye, it's in my porn folder

Noncedew was at Espanyol training today. Laughs ahead for VI if he goes there.

That said, English clubs often mentioned as planning tours in Korea by the press and then never actually do, so take with a pinch of salt.

Maguire is better IMO. Certainly better distribution anyway.

If you think Makems are bad and have a chip on their shoulder, Boro fans are Neanderthals, special the lot of them. The women are preggers by 15 There's just as many knackers in our support as in either of the mackems or boro. Just look at that wanker organising the plane as one example. As for bringing up teenage pregnancy, that's just embarrassing. Boro is one of the most economically and thus socially deprived areas in the country, largely through no fault of the people who live there. Any grown up mocking that fact needs to have a look at themselves.

True enough. Their home crowds do fluctuate wildly between Championship and Prem, and even between big games and small games in the Champ. But I'd say the large number of fairweather fans does a disservice to their fairly loyal core, who have some of the best away figures.

No they won't

I think he was being mentioned as a replacement for Houllier in 2011 and some of them didn't want him, they ended up with Alex McLeish instead. Aye, I remember that being mentioned by Liverpool fans when Rafa came here. I didn't know they made a fucking banner though. Thought it was just daft cunts on the internet or something. Edit: https://www.villatalk.com/topic/5065-the-next-villa-manager-part-3/

That shirt looks circa 2010. Why the hell did Villa produce a banner calling Rafa a fat Spanish waiter? What the fuck is it with them and banners.

QPR away by an absolute mile, to be honest. They were/are turboshit like.

People who advocate Reina obviously haven't seen him play much last 18 months. I think he's reached the endgame of his career. Lots of horror mistakes, and general decline in his reflexes and shot stopping.

Was it Cabaye who refused to play? If so fuck him. Crumpy's only post of the day

Can people comment on the Chronicle article about how bad an idea it is? I think half of the problem is he seems to live in an echo chamber of other idiots on his Facebook saying what a good idea it is.

This is him responding on the Chronicle article to people saying it is a bad idea. You just can't win with stupid, like.

Honestly man, some people just have absolutely fuck all between their ears like. Can't believe that.

Can we seriously do something to stop that going ahead? It's fucking unbelievably stupid and disgusting.

Aye, sign him as an option for either flank off the bench. I'd still want at least another left winger though.

Only Fools and Horses was class.
