1964

Don’t we have an option to buy here? Exercise it now

What a performance. Every man a warrior. Jug lugs looks like he is a fucking great keeper as well. Shelvey outstanding. Big Mo outstanding.

Ever

To paraphrase the kaiser chiefs I predict a humping

Personal abuse? I did a laughing smiley. Quite the snowflake aren't you? For the record, I THINK Rafa has done an amazing job, because in my OPINION we have a championship squad and in my OPINION he has been totally screwed over by his bosses. Of course you can question Rafa but I'm well within my rights to laugh at people who do so, for a variety of reasons. Jesus Christ this is tiresome, just to be absolutely clear again, I wasn't referring to you giving me abuse, I was referring to comments earlier on that someone was a 'wassock' for suggesting that the players haven't improved. All I was saying was that posters should be allowed an opinion when presented in a reasonable way without being abused.

This is why I don't really get their hatred and blame of Short for their footballing position. Pretty much all of his managerial appointments have been initially popular with their support, he supported those managers with significant transfer funds (until it was completely unsustainable to do so) and when their support turned against each one of those initially popular appointments they were swiftly replaced. The mess has been created by Short giving them what they called for. I do he has made terrible decisions year after year. The only difference between Ashley and him is that no investment is better than terrible investment

PLus the reduction of the wage bill, spending on new players etc. Looking at more like £250m to be a Championship club that is debt free

I wasn't referring to the tweet, it was the question further up. Jesus!

Where did 'mid-table premiership players' come from? They're your words. I'm not arguing about the point made and I personally don't agree with it, I just think going down the line of personally abusing someone for asking a question is not on. People just won't post anything and we will be RAWK which is not healthy

Let me know when there is a healthy challenge and not some bizarre ramblings. It's like having doctors talking about medicine then bringing in a homeopathy expert for the sake of "balance". Someone questioning whether the players have improved this season are not bizarre ramblings, Jesus if you want to close down anyone that asks a legitimate question, even if you don't agree with it is ridiculous. Just to clarify I wasn't defending the tweet above, but the comment further up the chain

I don't think it's helpful to attack someone for proffering a different view, you might not agree with it but to personally insult them for asking whether we could be performing better is not right and more like RAWK or even RTG. Benitez cannot be above healthy challenge

They just pay back part of it and re-finance (most likely at a worse rate) the rest. Whilst the future seems pretty bleak unless they get taken over, there should be very little chance of administration whilst Short continues to be the owner. They'll most likely continue to limp along, cost-cutting and scrimping by. However doesn't Administration effectively mean that the entity no longer exists and they will be a 'new' entity. So the 6 in a row will be forever protected as the club no longer exists in it's former state. That would actually appeal to a lot of them

Make it an one-legged Slimani and he would still prolly do better... In fact Plumpani would be a starter ahead of Joselu

They’re also saying he lamela was offside but it was by about a bootlace but again they are claiming corruption. To be fair they mobilise their troops and are on message

Scousers going crazy, corrupt officials, never a pen, lamela dived, write to your mp etc. etc. The second one is a clear pen he kicks the back of his calf. First one deffo a dive and he should, but won’t, be banned

Dúbravka needs to watch those ears in a bitter northwesterly, they’ll freeze. He shouldn’t miss much conversation with those jug lugs

I know it’s cliched but there is no way that decision is given against Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea or Liverpool. It is just so inconsistent

Is he shit yet??

He wanted to fly the plane, was told he couldn’t so he ate the pilot

He’s gonna be shit isn’t he? :lol:

Tidied

Does he have to pass a medical?

He is a permacrock though, which is bound to manifest itself in the first 10 minutes of his debut

He's for sale then at the right price. We have to bite the bullet and pay it now, this is what happens when you take a chance on not investing in the summer. Ashley gambled, he lost. Pay up and stay up fatty. There’s something that just cracks me up about a well reasoned argument that is finished with a superb bit of childish name calling. :lol: :clap:
