11 goals from a midfielder is pretty good like. If he was hiding, how was he getting on the end of those chances? I think it's more a case of him not really relishing the dogfight nature of English football. But the way Rafa sets the team up he wouldn't necessarily need to do as much of that. Well he had a long spell, from the Man U game to round about now. Where he was dogging it off, not getting involved in play and where he just generally looked to be sulking. He had 9 goals coming into 2016, didn't he? Then he went AWOL.

Well... Yes, apparently I would. x I do love you in the boxing thread. I'm still sitting here waiting to know why you don't like Mr. Loverman? Genuinely intrigued.

Just give the job to Fabio Pechhia. I need at least another season of his wild celebrations

http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Blackadder-Confused-Look.gif You're very slow. I'm aware it's Lovenkrands, you buffoon. I'm just a bit confused as to why he's a c***? This place is going downhill, man. Feel free to leave. I'm sure you'll be missed.

11 goals and he spend a large chunk of the season hiding and not trying. Imagine if his attitude didn't stink?! Could have got 15-20 goals FFS.

He has dived and faked injury all season. But for once, I actually thought it looked genuine after his red card challenge? It's his own stupid fault, but look at how his leg jars and the way the foot twists back under his own weight. That's a high ankle sprain, if ever I've seen one. That seemed to be what the physio was looking at, when he came on.

I'd go with this. Pretty fair assessment. It's like he's seen Costa being an irritating, horrible twat and he's decided he's going to model his game on him. Both strong, physical players. Who also love to play act and commit some dirty fouls. If Mitro concentrated on playing football and not trying to fight everyone. I think he could develop into a good player. As it stands, he is just an unhinged loon, that shows the odd flash of potential and moment of class. I'm not sure he'll ever be prolific, mind. I think you'd need to surround him with pace and goals. Something we haven't done this season. Back to goal and in the air, he looks a real handful. But he looks lost when he is facing goal with the ball at feet. He's not clinical at all.

Many said similar at the time, but this thought process from Ashley and Co, really f***ed me off. I read similar before WBA and again before Stoke and Bournemouth. To me, if you're giving your manager a game or two, before deciding on whether to sack him or not. Then maybe, just maybe, he's not the right man for the job? How f***ing short term is that? Wouldn't put it past those in charge to have actually viewed it like this, as well. As it kind of ties in with media reports. The same was said before WBA. We won and he kept his job. Same again before Stoke and Bournemouth. We lost both, looked obvious the players had downed tools (not many had their tools with them this season) and it finally prompted them to act. McClaren was a dead man walking, for months. Utterly pathetic that the odd fluke result, ended up keeping him here so long. The ironic thing is if we had have binned him then Benitez wasn't available, so who would've we ended up with? He would have been available if he got the chop after the WBA game. I'm sure that was in February? Rafa left Real Madrid at the start of January.

Is Poker a sport? I genuinely don't give a shit either way. I just find it funny how aggressive you get about your sport/game. Like a red rag to a bull with you, if you dare criticise darts. Rattled marra

So touchy about his precious pub game

I'm not getting into the darts sport/skilled game debate, again I wouldn't bet on it, as I know fuck all about it. I just watch it now and then when it's on Sky.

What the f*** is this supposed to mean?

Yeah. I'd be well happy with that.

Would take him here if Rafa goes.

Probably already been mentioned about a hundred times. But the 'positive' talks between Charnley and Rafa, just seems like it's got Bishop's grubby paw prints all over it. I know they could genuinely try and get him to stay, offer him the keys to the club and give him full control. Only for Rafa to still leave for a better club. But I just don't think they are ready to give him what he wants. I expect a load of spin, trying to make Charnley, Ashley et al, look good.

I know that picture isn't the most flattering. But fuck me, you must have low standards

You owe me one new house Nah. f*** betting on a pub game. I think I bet on darts once. Klaasen to win the world championship, or whatever it's called. Got 20/1 in the early stages. Anderson absolutely wiped the floor with him in the final, though.

Should just round that lot up and set fire to them. You can add the Red Witch Colback to the pyre, and all. For the night is dark and full of useless shithouses.

I've had the twat at work that shouts "BEVERAGE" every 5 minutes, already having a dig this morning. He has already admitted in the past, that he hates football. Yet decides to chirp up. Tosser. My boss also has no clue whatsoever. Yet keeps chiming in. I feel pretty 'meh' about it all. Which is a good thing, TBH. As if I felt like I did after the last time we went down. I think I'd be getting the sack, like.

Kirchoff looks quality TBF and would walk into our pathetic midfield. That's not much of an endorsement, mind

Forgot about Mbabu. Would like him to stay on.
