  1. Still amazed at why Mbabu went so freely.
  2. Never seen anyone do a worse job of getting out the way of something like.

  4. Ashley seems like a nice guy - okay wrong, but he wasn't commenting on his ethics. Fans to 'stop the negativity' - this I take issue with.
  5. I’m not sure cocky is the right word - personally I think he was sent to the lions without realising on total sport and I think he’s a bit ignorant of what the protests actually meant.
  6. Get in Second bit - I completely agree, which is why I want this to be true. Fuck it if that's the wrong thing to do. I mean, my name is right there ffs Agree with both though. Be smashing Pink Lane up if it happens. Get in Second bit - I completely agree, which is why I want this to be true. Fuck it if that's the wrong thing to do.

  8. Think it was the right decision announced for slightly the wrong reasons - I’d have played it as listening to fans and acknowledging the timing of one after the other. I back whatever they do tbh - they are at least trying.
  9. He didn’t want to answer certain questions so he spouts that he isn’t aware of it. Of course they are. What if he’d said what he really thought? What good would that have done the club in general? Sure it would have gotten the fans on side but then it would have driven a bigger wedge between the coaching staff, players and the owner. Like it or lump it, Ashley will still be around in January and he needs to be involved if we’re to do any business in the window. We’re not far off a squad that can survive the season. Two or three players in key positions should do it. See noone expects the guy to do this either - assuming he does disagree with it all, or Rafa. This is the weird false dichotomy that surfacres. Doesn’t matter who you are. You say to your paying/committed ‘stop the negativity’ without being prepared to debate that view and you’re set for a fall. It was a pity he let/found himself get thrust in that situation.
  10. The nice guy stuff is nuanced too by the way. Am I able to believe known wanker mike Ashley is capabkecof being superficially nice? Of course.
  11. Nonsense man. It is nuance because I’m a complex human being applying critical thought to a complex situation. As the manager Rafa is better at navigating the politics of it all than a 20 odd year old. It’s very little to do with preference as their jobs are different. But if one of them wants to use the label negative and expect no reaction they are being naive. You can can forgive him for it as I have. Find a point where Rafa has used that label and I’ll agree with you but he hasn’t - in fact he’s made great pains to avoid it.
  12. Rafa is more adept at the nuance. Lascelles labelled fan action as negativity which is why he got pelters. Rightly.
  13. It’s weird how seeing something through because you said it is a big enough stick to attack fans against mike Ashley but not to go great guns for the man himself. Going through with the 11th minute was ballsy enough.
  14. So when did he actually come out at anytime before saying the club was possibly been sold I’ve heard that it was due to the transfer window and now changing that it’s due to a proposed non entity of a boycott. The reason he came out is to try and start a bidding war nothing more. I don’t understand the 1st part of that and talking about now, you’re probably right. Fact is, there isn’t the support for it amongst the home crowd - and in cases outright hostility to it. Lack of support for them though and saying he wouldn’t care about any are two different things.
  15. How can you ignore that correlation? Even if it isn’t causation. The fact he went on TV alone directly afterward shows he cared in itself. The burden is on the detractors to show it didn’t tbh. Or was this when he famously just changed his spots apropos to nothing?
  16. He does not give one fuck unfortunately about any boycott Apart from the last one.
