would be pointless. Charnley would only jump off first to make sure he landed safely on his battered corpse. That's where Rafa gets him in a chokehold until Fat Mike lands on a pointy rock.

Funny thing is his version of damage limitation just leads to more goals being conceded.

Hopefully that movement is Mike Ashley jumping off a cliff.

Looks like I'm sticking to not watching any pre and post match coverage then.

Doubt it means this season, just potentially after a few years of improvement.

Only time we didn't look the better team aswell. Needs shipping out ASAP to stop Rafa even considering him. I said even when Rafa first came in that Rafa would never keep him if we stayed up. As it turned out he was pretty rubbish in the championship as well. He's a defensive midfielder who can't tackle. Or anything at all clearly.

Guardiola will be asking everyone for a spare fullback.

If we get rid of half of them I'll be impressed.

Some form of news

Based on the ridiculous fees of this summer? probably 50-60m.

Aye, after some of the refs of last season i'm not going to be complaining about Marriner tbh.

Question is why did Van Dijk not hand in his transfer request at the beginning of the summer? when it became he clear he wanted to leave instead of all this ridiculous farce.

Aye there doesn't seem much at all coming through for them atm.

He also said we'd sign Grosicki. Didn't realise it had already been posted. But tbd theres been a few deals supposedly lined up by Rafa that have then not been followed through on. Possible Grosiki could be the same? Also possible he's talking bollocks but i'd doubt that seeing as he does know Rafa well. It was already reported by Caulkin that the Grosicki stuff is bollocks though, i don't particularly believe he knows anything tbh. While it's obvious Rafa is frustrated i do feel it's not to the extent the media are playing it up to be.

Sounds like more like a Murphy replacement to me.

Aye agree with this, most of his better performances last year came on the right and without Richie. It's only Verona obviously but I still feel like it's a positive sign.

The hope would be that if that would happen then it will give more space to others, obviously this is implying he's not injured tbh.

Aye can't see it being anything but that really, although i liked some of the ones who played the last 30 minutes.

One win closer to the title.

Am i the only one who thought Diame looked all right? i wouldn't play him or anything But other than the header he missed i don't think he did anything wrong really.

As he should be ( unless we buy someone) no reason for Diame to start over him.

I wouldn't know tbf, but i would guess looking at that that it gives a much bigger advantage than they claim it was doing before for the team going first in the old system. I doubt it will mean much at the end of the day, i just find the whole thing a bit pointless.

Decent hit from De Jong but should have played Murphy in imo.

Great cross from Murphy

Seems utterly pointless to me.
