Yep. Rafa had a plan and clearly those two along with Clark who has also ironically been given a new contract wouldn’t of been a part of it. Next dilemma is letting Gayle go for nothing or giving him another contract!

Bit harsh Minhosa[/member] he’s took a year off work and sunk a lot of his own personal money into what seems to be part of a clever strategy in forcing the pace of pre arbitration negotiations and arbitration itself, as the EPL have to answer his claims and likely to lose costing them a lot of money therefore making them more keen along with BeIn who are equally as guilty of anti competition involvement of sorting before answering the charge. They’ve made it clear they can only answer it once arbitration is completed so it must take place unless sorted before arbitration. Certainly amounts to more than cheerleading. Am I right in thinking he must be the owner of Keith Pattinson estate agents?

Two great posts. Rafa knew his time was up and was looking to upgrade him. The fact he’s outstayed Rafa says everything wrong with the club really.

Hero already, hopefully he can do it again in training so we don’t have to see the wretched cunt disgrace our shirt again. Bit harsh

Heard him last night. Still quite likely to see season out but apparently their mind has been made up. Who knows. Needs a great 2nd half of the season that’s for sure.

Ditto for me. Sorry. Thought money was a joke I’d missed but yeah happy to lose £2.50 to see you lovely people

Maybe I'm confusing it with his general shooting from open play but he was massively wayward at times, like. His shooting was fine. I think you are just confused I remember that either his first 7-14 games he’d either scored or assisted majorly in a goal.

Yep. Woodgate’s back heal.

Not sure if I’ve asked this before but I’d love to know the conversion rate of Robert’s free kicks. I went pretty much H&A during that time and I don’t recall him missing one! Best FK taker there has been in the EPL.

Depending on date/time I’m in.

He’d just won 2 trophies 3 month earlier. Like all managers they should be judged on full seasons. Preferably two.

Will be interesting to see how he does when fans return.

Merry Christmas everyone. I do love this place. Let’s hope 2021 is more fun. A massive forum get together needs to happen

I used to watch your lot (in the flesh) quite a lot when Gascoigne first came through. I absolutely agree, Grealish and Gazza have a lot in common. As well as talent, they both have that bit of arrogance that real flair players have. The key difference is Gazza wanted to stay on his feet and cause damage in the final third whereas Grealish all too many times seems happy to just win a free kick. In Gazza’s era he wouldn’t even be getting the free kicks given either. Which is probably a main reason why Gazza didn't do it. He wasn’t of that mindset though. If Grealish has more protection why isn’t he bursting through defences instead of shielding ball and dropping to his knees all the time? It just seems an easy option each time. I think some of that is confirmation bias, I'm not saying he doesn't go down easy, he does but he also creates a shit load of chances and scores and assists. Also he used to get kicked full on all over the pitch. Listening to people on the radio and TV and reading many many tweets, posts and articles it’s uncanny when asked what are Grealish’s qualities the winning of free kicks rolls off the tongue first. Not saying he’s not a good player. Just wished he’d not take the easy option all the time and actually attack defenders more.

Probably more of a pen than ours
