Nee fucker ever gets sent off against us.

Merson and McInally on Soccer Saturday are saying the same now, that Rafa's too good for this shit show basically. All fairly normal, then "Rafa should buzz off" Eccentric fucker.

One or two quotes were necessary to bring it to the surface. I'm not sure what constant, weekly negative soundbites are achieving at all. One or two quotes allows Ashley to get off lightly and continue doing what he's doing without feeling the need to do an interview with Sky Sports on the eve of the season in an effort to deflect flak. Rafa has clearly been trying to pressure them into keeping up their side of the bargain and it hasn't worked, because Rafa has the best interests of the club at heart and they don't give a shit. I've no issue with him employing whatever tactics he likes to get what was promised, this idea that he needs to just sit there and be quiet is bizarre. Part of the appeal with Benitez when he joined was that he wouldn't stand for any of their shit.

Rafa clearly expected to have money to spend in January and more than he has been given this summer, and in both instances for us to move for his targets quickly and get them sorted. It's that aspect of the situation that justifies his quotes in the press, it's bloody obvious that the goalposts have been moved behind the scenes, again.

They'll doubtless talk about the quotes on Soccer Saturday with Merson etc saying Benitez needs to stop moaning, as is the Bishop narrative now.

Next manager is the real test imo

"A simple solution" or whatever

Slim pickings, clearly

"No, we've rejected TWO loan bids, Mitro"

Shan on Spurs that like.

Michael Johnson one year too. Then the next transfer window comes around and we spend fuck-all

:lol:

Signed 3 out of 4 of them within the last 12 months like.

We're well stocked for wingers surely, various other positions need addressed first.

Yeah he's not immune to pressure but unfortunately the tactics that he employs when under pressure (putting club up for sale, a PR offensive, spending some of the money that's been piling up for seasons on end, etc) appear to work and allow him to survive.

One of these seasons we'll not have more important stuff to sort out than showing up for the cups. Life is what happens while you're making plans and all that.

1-2

1-1

Fucking hell, pick that one out.

Nee bother, we love bidding wars with financial powerhouses.

Where do the 4 wingers we have fit into that?

Some voodoo shit going on at St Mary's.
