Yes, and who's feeding Lingard. People starting to put pieces together finally.

It's semi inside info that there were a group of English players leaking info to the press, more specifically to Luckhurst and Whitwell. That group was Maguire, Henderson, Lingard and Rashford. Two of them aren't there anymore and the leaks are still happening. I don't think it's Maguire.

It's Rashford.

Would trade the Glazers for a relegation any day of the week.

Tell us how you really feel Stal.

I think you're stretching to say that's not near a yellow. On another day Schar could have seen red for two yellows. It wouldn't have made a button of difference. Just one less attacker for you.

Yep. Fully agree with all of this.

They brought Rangnick in to see what needed to be done, and then completely disregarded all of his advice. Another baffling decision from the uppers.

I would disagree. Last season I would have said De Gea, Shaw, Varane, Casemiro and even Martinez were all captain material. Bruno has always been the captain though. Even when Maguire had the armband, Bruno was the captain. Agree on the penalty as well. I hated that and have always hated it. I remember when we were 3-0 up against Zalaegerszeg (sp?) in the Champions League qualifiers and we got a penalty and Forland hadn't scored for us yet. Van Nistelrooy was letting him take the pen only for Keane to snatch the ball back and give it to Van Nistelrooy as he wanted to make absolutely sure of the win. Rashford getting that pen at 1-0 was mental. You can see why Bruno did it though. Also, I know Maguire has been playing decent lately, but lets make no mistake about this; he's absolutely shite. The fact Maguire and Evans were the starting CB's at this club in 2023 speaks volumes.

I didn't see the post, presumably on RedCafe, but other than that I've genuinely never seen this opinion. I wanted Howe to be our manager years ago, never mind now after what he's done with Newcastle.

It will never work if the structure isn't right. We're a big enough club where we generate the funds to spend £150-200m every season but there needs to be a system in place. It's just a bunch of headless chickens running about upstairs and hoping a good manager can sort it out.

It's almost like opposition fans don't really know what they're talking about when it comes to opposition players. It's why you'll never see me come on here and try and tell any of you about your own players. For example, Stifler saying Fernandes isn't consistent enough, when in reality he's one of the most consistent players we've ever had. Even on his very worst days he'll create chances and will run his bollocks off for you.

I think we're fucked if he's going to persist with Rashford and let players like Varane rot. We played you on Saturday night, and by all accounts this season you're a better side than we are, yet he played a right back at left back and a left back in centre back when we have a world class centre back on the bench. Utterly fucked with these sort of decisions. I'd love to be inside someones head. I've seen Rashford play on the right maybe 15-20 times and he's been shite pretty much every single time. Extremely worrying that he's choosing to play Rashford there rather than his own £82m winger who was actually pretty fucking good the game before.

His conduct is completely fine and he's a good captain. He has it in him to get frustrated when things are going wrong. He can lash out and get himself booked, and a lot of people seem to criticise him heavily for this. Roy Keane anyone? I've seen your best ever player and captain literally kick a downed man in the fucking head. You're all looking for reasons to hate him because you don't like him. Did any of you see in midweek when Garnacho was being an idiot and shushing Galatasaray fans? He got berated for by Fernandes for it and told to keep his head. When McTominay and Rashford are fucking up basic passes and costing us chances he's vocal about it. He's constantly talking to everyone on the pitch and dictating everything. These are things that the likes of Keane, Gerrard etc. would be praised for. It's not Fernandes' fault he was born with a punchable face. Funny thing is too, he's an incredible professional off the pitch. Go and watch any interview with him after a game win or lose, he has nothing but respect for the opposition and unlike Ten Hag will be open and honest when we've just not been enough rather than coming out with shit like "we scored a goal but it was offside so it could have been a draw." Silly baldy bastard.

Hey I never posted the stats OCK did!

We finished third and won a cup in 2023 and it feels like someone is spitting in my face every time I have to watch us.

I'm not surprised in the slightest, but I am surprised he continues to get away with it. It's not overly noticeable to opposition fans when he's sauntering about against Burnley, but against a team like yourselves which is full of desire, he's stuck out like a sore thumb. I'm just glad fans are starting to see what we see. We often getting accused of making scapegoats when things go wrong and there may well be some truth in that, but Rashford is an undeniable problem. If he doesn't score he's utterly useless and is often a detriment to the team.

Pure fact Sean mate. Newcastle were terrified for 6 of the 103.

I think his stubbornness and inconsistency will be his downfall. Sancho's effort in training was questioned, and the manager was backed with his decision to remove him from the squad. Same with Ronaldo. However there's a major issue with Rashford continuing to start games and not giving a fuck yet avoiding any sort of punishment. The Varane one is hard to take as well. It's been kept under wraps but it seems to be a petty argument and our best centre back is rotting on the bench because of it. People are starting to lose faith, but a managerial change won't make a difference anyway.

If you say so. looked like the same old shit to me.

Why is ours only up until minute 62 and not minutes 92-98 when we dominated the game?

If you thought that was bad you should have seen the Wolves game.

I've no idea who you are but that's no way to talk to one of the forums most valued members. Learn some etiquette young man.

Maguire has been getting a lot of praise recently, and fairly so. What people (our fans) are failing to realise is that it's due to us getting penned in by better teams again. We're coming under a ton of pressure and that's where he excels. It shouldn't be the case. We're basically Stoke with one world class player. Feel like pure shit just want Varane and Martinez back.

Aye when Newcastle got their blood money and we were denied ours.
