Looked Rafa esque in game

It comes from the top seems like it's more than that-- like there's a cancer in the dressing room, or something. somehow there's a pervasive apathy amongst ours that even Rafa (may his tribe prosper) can't penetrate. It'll take more than Rafa turning up. There's a deeply entrenched apathy that filters down from boardroom to the fans and pervades the entire setup. Same reason the atmosphere has been dead, the reason no one enjoys working for sports direct. The rotten institutional degradation has been the cancer for a decade to the point where even strong individuals will struggle or reject it.

Next head coach.

There's no way Rafa Benitez manages us in the championship under a mike Ashley owned NUFC. Not a Charles Dance.

Oh you mad bastard.

Actual competitive football clubs you mean? Possibly.............. however I wont be rushing home from work to watch WBA v Burnley on a monday night. I'm obviously just jealous but its a shame that the championship will contain a lot bigger clubs than the Premiership. If this means that in future 'big' clubs don't take their present stays for granted as we have then I'm all for it objectively non-toon speaking of course.

I know but this really hit home to me why he got so much shot in the past - no nous to him whatsoever.

Attacks like a fucking space invader - who invaded the wrong space.

De Jong isn't going fix fuck all either tbh. Might as well try it though. This guy has been very disappointing.

That's the funny thing colback would have started.

I just ate some mini eggs. Highly likely its mission accomplished already.

Norwich are miles better than this wank.

Actual competitive football clubs you mean?

So predictable and brainless.

My mates doing a turn at the backyard in a few weeks - looks a good setup.

The Rafa factor is big but we do need to temper that. We had a rusty bucket of shit before, now we have a shinier and more valuable, bejewelled bucket - never the less a bucket of shit it still is.

Fucking hell, look at the state of that shit. Would love to throttle McClaren to death for that, the useless bastard that he is. http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t322/frednut/dcv3oi.gif

Colour me shocked.

It's clearly a fucking stupid thing to say yet at the same time you know its said with zero sentiment; he just wants to hang off the coat-tails of something/look funny.

We can't be 2nd best for a whole half again, as shite as Norwich have been they looked like getting a result in that odd 6-2 early on.

...at home watching the telly

He's exceeded expectation if that is the same is excelling is debatable. The guy has major and crippling flaws in his game though some of your examples with regard to certain results are valid.

I've come to the conclusion that most Newcastle or Sunderland fans live roughly in the north east based on that source. More on my research as it develops...
