Seems exactly like something he would do actually

I don't buy the silly theory about instructions from Ashley, Benitez simply wouldn't stand for that level of interference. He got it wrong, underestimated Oxford and overestimated our dross.

Wonder if he was actually the designated penalty taker for this game. He had that little thing with Ritchie at the start of the season when he was trying to claim one and I don't think Rafa will be too impressed if he's overstepped himself again.

Wouldn't get a look in if his name was John Lassells.

Best update the rival boards thread, I think we've offended them

You don't get points for having the fattest, oldest squad y'knaa.

Just another day on NO with nothing happening. We'll move on to shitting soon if we're following the normal procedure.

Aye, it's getting old now but dairy milk it for one last pun?

We don't want to hear about your sex life here, man.

For some reason they seem to think getting relegated would be a good thing as the £100m TV money + £40m parachute payment would clear their debt. I don't think they've thought this through....

Really rolled out the red carpet for him there

Depends if they make it available to spend. Their squad is piss poor but £12m could at least get them a creative attacking midfielder and another striker if they buy young and foreign.

It's a real barrow race as the chinese would say.

It's just one of those lazy stories. Every time there's not much news they wheel barrow out.

I don't think anyone doubts the extra quality he'd bring to the side, I think it's more of a 'he jumped ship for a Pardew led Palace, fuck him' thing. I'd have him back in a second, like.

Scotland

Oddly enough, I'm not really enjoying the football that much this season even though we are top. We have looked efficient rather than dominant, but then Rafa's obviously more bothered about doing the right things and doing them his way rather than putting on a show. We aren't going to see the best of Rafa's methods until we go up and we start putting better quality players into the starting eleven. I think the football will hit another level then. I still remember the last 5 years of shit, i'm happy to be winning games and not going in at half time 2-0 down and only having a series of increasingly bizarre substitutions invariably involving a left back to look forward to.

Lovely little flick on with his head to send Ayoze through too. Proper target man, hope Mitro is paying attention.

We'd better go up so I can watch the games in glorious HD again.

I'm torn. If they go down they'll be facing oblivion with their finances which would be funny but if they stay up I'm confident we'll get some much deserved payback with Rafa at the helm.
