That's a good one. The Giggs stuff is savage and there's a good Partridge ref.

Absolutely ridiculous he didn't go for the tombstone there.

Lingard's a right little prick. If he somehow became as good as Messi he would still get nowhere near my Fantasy Football team, the grudge is that strong.

Mike's dipping into his pocket, eh.

Rafa should tell them he'll give them an answer 10 days before his contract ends.

It's borderline unusable this morning like. Knew the Americans would ruin N-O eventually.

This isn't happening in the Games section btw, in case that helps. Is happening in Football & GC.

He's going to give him what he needs It's the fucking 21st of January.

Not even pretending to want anything resembling the best for the football club anymore recently. At least they're finally sort of being honest

Great finish, first of many hopefully.

Poor.

We're upto 28/1 with some bookies to win BTTS and us to win is 40/1, us to win to nil also 40s

Couldn't make it up. Tbf, someone did.

The second coming. Rafa didn't play him

Well there it is.

£? He's had chances to do that already though, hasn't he? And is on canny money already. Reckon he'll stick with Leicester unless he has another chance to move upwards and feels he won't get another chance.

In 2009 my subtitle on here was 'jazzing to the beep tone of a life support machine' and nowt's changed like, what are we even doing? Exactly, they've even stopped feeding us 5 year plans where we're following the Aston Villa model or whatever the last few years. Not even pretending to run us as a sporting institution should be run anymore. Just milking Rafa til the next half-arsed plan.

Financial penalty aside, there's no reason for Rafa to stick around beyond this summer if Ashley still owns the club. It's a total waste of time for him treading water at a club who actively embrace mediocrity. Same as it's a waste of time for us. 10.5 years wasted and counting. It's pathetic.

Why would he go there?

Caulkin is the master where NE football is concerned. Peerless. It really is a cracking little article, that one.

Cannot believe it has only just dawned on me that PCP stands for Piss Cock Partridge.

Enjoy yourself bbz

We better not just sign a load of wingers when we have far more pressing needs elsewhere.

He should start running us like a £350m football club then. We're valuable when it suits him, worthless when it doesn't. It's because of 10 years of failure including an appalling transfer record that buyers aren't exactly queuing up to pay his asking price. The club is worth fuck-all without its Premier League status, and we're clearly going to be perilously close to losing it yet again.
