Class from the chancellor that

Gah, thought that was in

Not sure who Lascelles was marking for their goal.

Great save blob

Merino's got this.

Tits

Has no one told Brighton fans that we don't do the 'you're shit, ahhhhhhhh!' thing at goal kicks in the Premier League?

Was that Souness?

Bit hard when he's suspended But in any case he's not offering anything Joselu isn't. Well yeah, when he's available obvs He scored a few this season before he got suspended.

I know this isn't going to be popular but I'd have Mitro ahead of Joselu.

He is so comfortable on the ball. Lush to watch He's disgustingly composed, one of the classiest players we've had in years. I haven't liked watching a player this much since Hatem. Love watching his passes, just perfectly weighted. It's his tackling as well. A great all-rounder. If he starts scoring too....

Merino is class

Swansea cost me £330 from a six fold acca by losing in the 90th minute. Could have cashed out for £190 but I got greedy

Pardew actually made them worse players. He did. I think there can perhaps be a case for Cabaye being improved but he actually started really well and maintained that, allowing for up's and down's of form, throughout. If you had to give Pardew something then he enabled a good transition into British football though, I guess. That's being generous. What Rafa has done with so many others is marvellous. The difference a genuine coach makes is night and day. The difference is so stark because not only have we had some of the worst managers in PL history recently, but Rafa is also one of the best coaches in the world. Yes - it's funny though, that Pardew effectively blagged a 5th place finish, and the best Rafa may ever do here is 14th or something but the value of Rafa's ability to polish a cumulative turd is absolutely vast. Pardew with this bunch would take them down. Rafa, with this bunch over a period of time, could probably get them top half consistently just through organisation. How Ashley can't see that or be able to place a value on that astounds me. I mean, he literally pays for himself, in the extra places he'll grab us in the league table. Even if Pardew, Allardyce, Warnock or whoever kept us up at fourth bottom, Rafa would probably have us in 13th/14th by comparison this effectively working for free through the extra ££££££££'s in finishing spots. The 5th place was nothing to do with Pardew in my opinion. We got 5th despite Pardew, not because of him. Mainly down to having some good quality new players who had not yet been Pardewed and who were still playing at a level they were used to before the rot set in.

Pardew actually made them worse players.

Seriously doubt we'd have lost to Spurs had we kept 11 men, and I fully believe we'd have gotten something from Huddersfield with that momentum too. Yeah I agree, especially about Spurs.

Get in. Give that man a 5 year deal.

Unlikely to get that gig in China now, mocking them is only going to be detrimental. :lol:

I know, was the no Colback mention that I was alluding to though. He even thought about the other players and still didnt mention him Who was the other player he mentioned as competition along with Hayden and Diame? I couldn't make it out. Thanks

He certainly wanted it more than Mawson.

Ha ha. What a muppet.
