This is gold

Get a grip, had plenty of chances Yep.

These last 2 games have been fascinating tactically tbh.

Different game to the first half, were matching them so far.

Other teams would pretty much call a player of his price/wage a punt, whereas in Ashleyland it's expected that we're buying a ready-made, world class player as it's such a HUGE outlay.

Like a training session, attack vs defence. Defence is winning so far Imagine if we had some actual quality man.

Atsu completely fucks up a golden opportunity, dick.

Perez is looking lively.

Deepest i've seen us play i think.

Fuck was that header?

Ian Holloway on Sky Sports News saying you can hear the creaking of ashley's wallet as he's that tight

Yes

Disgusting cunts with their gamesmanship man.

Rondon's sportsmanship stands in contrast to the city team and Kyle Walker, surprise surprise

Pep always seems pissed off with his teams' inability (or lack of will) to smash 7 or 8 past us I feel

How are we gonna manage to fuck this one up then?

But Rafa bought them! He must think they're world beaters surely

There seems to be various groups planning various ill-thought out "protests" that are obviously going to fall flat on their face. Except the obvious one which is stay the fuck away from this shell of a club.

Imagine paying Ashley money to boo Rafa's subs Imagine fuming at Rafa and not Ashley Some people ffs.

Yep, the club haven't directly said this. They've put it out to the press (self confessed liars to the press). They've gone out of their way to fuck it up. It's part of their war against Rafa.

Atmosphere should be lifting after the recent transfer activity

Also, the aim shouldn't always be to make money on a player. So many of our fans live in Ashleyland ffs.

It's all eerily similar to the Jimenez/Wise situation against Keegan - disagreeing with his picks, putting lowball bids in for his targets, in Keegans case they even made bids for players he didn't want. They lied to Keegan that Milner would be replaced by Schweinsteiger ffs...clearly Rafa knows if he agrees to sell anyone the same will happen to him. I wonder if Barnes has interviewed targets himself like Jiminez did. Wonder who they've said isn't good enough for the PL this time.. Rafa should walk, he's too good to put up with this. So should our fans.

It's disgraceful. There's hundreds of millions gone missing from our club under Ashley. Would love to see someone work out how much money he's deprived the club of over all these years.
