Top class trolling from the club, fucking hell man

Its in the Sun already, would post a link but its the Sun.

Great work from everyone who went down there and great to see its getting to him.

This. Ashley plays on the fucking stupidity of our fans, and of course they never fail to deliver. It still shocks me how fucking shortsighted a huge proportion of our fanbase is. Im still of the belief that IQ level is directly linked to people who are fully aware of the circumstances for us being shit turning on Rafa. Would love to see a test on this tbh

What decisions did Benitez make in the transfer window exactly that he should be reconsidering. Do enlighten me. Jacob Murphy, total shite, and not given the chance to prove otherwise anyway, that's his most expensive signing and hes made zero impact in a season and a bit. Spending 10 million Muto and hes barely played a games worth of minutes, has also contributed nothing. Manquillo, I'm no scout but surely there was a younger, more hungry player someone across Europe to spend 5 million pounds on? If reports are to be believed he wanted to spend a combined 40 million on Rondon and Kenedy too, what a fuck up that would have been. Atsu, 6 million quids worth of shite, that's without mentioning the likes of Gamez and Lazaar who were seemingly brought in for the crack and cast off without being given a chance. That's the chance you take with transfers, but overall we've had more misses than hits from him. 10 million buys you fuck all nowadays in case you'd been alseep for the bast part of a decade.

What decisions did Benitez make in the transfer window exactly that he should be reconsidering. Do enlighten me. Murphy has been a terrible signing so far. Muto has not had the impact you want from him given the fact he cost more than our average net spend. Letting Mitro go instead of trying to gel a system around him (I was not a fan of Mitro at all but its clear that he has some impact at this level). Look man, Rafa as impeccable as he has been in coaching poor quality players so far, overall I don't find that he has been remarkably astute in the transfer market for us. This is working on the (wrong) assumption that Rafa knows what we spend on players, and has control. 5m for Muto? Do it. 12m? Too much. Our manager literally has no fucking idea whats going on. Probably puts 100 names forward each summer and has to see what shit lands. Start thinking ffs.

Anyone losing faith in Rafa...who would do better? The only problem is our fucking owner. And has been for 10 years now. But shortsighted muppets will be muppets...

On a side note, how long until we get together and create our own football club ala AFC Wimbledon. Its actually funny how easy our fanbase has been to railroad.

Who cares. I want Ashleys investments to tank, unless he actually sells us then I honestly couldnt give 2 fucks what happens. The clubs bigger than him. Ive realised this season that Im actually past caring, it doesn't affect us anywhere near as much as it does the owner. We can still enjoy football whatever league we're in, Ashley can't if its not making Sports Direct money. Bring on League 2 tbh.

So have the usual idiots started to turn on Rafa yet? Of course if he sent us out to attack we'd be smashing the league right now... not getting battered 5-0 every game. Theres one man to blame for this, and anyone who's to stupid to see that is part of the problem. Was there really louder boos for a substitution than for Ashley? (who was actually at the game)? Clubs dead if so.

Ashley will be loving it ffs.

Just seen thread title. I'll believe Ashley is serious about selling when we've got a new owner and not a second before. Funny how these stories always appear at convenient times for him.

He's robbing the club blind, claiming we owe him an ever increasing amount whilst stealing more than that amount back to Sports Direct. Sad thing is some still need to be convinced that this is the case ffs.

I hate Zaha, and his comments were clearly aimed at influencing the referee. Rafa's comments are responding to Zaha's, and basically just saying that the referee shouldn't be influenced by Zaha's shite. So yeah when is Zaha getting charged?

Until we had an away game against Man City or something and he’d start him, then blame him for the inevitable loss. Some of our fans would fall for it and all. Probably the most depressing part of Ben Arfa’s time here was seeing how many absolute dimwits we have in our fanbase. To think some people were happy to see him gone. I can't comprehend how anyone could not love him

Conceding more than 1 only 12 times last season with this squad is nothing short of a miracle too tbh

You fucking hate Zaha like. Ill admit I really hate Zaha...diving, strutting, moaning constantly

If 75-90% of our fanbase really would boo/be opposed to various forms of protest, then at some point they will need to be taken on too (if they can't be educated). In that situation they would actively be working against the good of the club and its future. Lets hope its not that bad at all

i think the ones specifically complaining about rafa need to fucking pull themselves together... SUBS, PUT SUBS ON FFS etc. jesus Agreed, its actually hilarious tbh.

The same players were beaten last year mind you we did actually play our steongest 11 that time Yeah and Rafa knows more about the players including their fitness levels, niggles, long haul flights they've been on etc than you or I, and uses this information to pick the strongest possible team for any given game. Maybe you'd prefer Pardew, who Ive no doubt would have played Rondon, who would probably be off injured for half the season by now as a consequence. The issue is our squad is hugely underfunded but hey we all know that. Yes its frustrating, but its not Rafas fault.

Seems like a lot of reactionary posters want to fume at Rafa for today...how fucking shortsighted can people be

Love this, definitely hope theres more.

Just seen the idea for the protest at Sports Directs AGM tomorrow, think its a great idea. Well done to all involved in planning this and good luck to those going.

This, its clearly getting to him and we haven't even really started yet

Clear as day the players and Rafa are with us in our protests. Also its great if the KPMG piece got pulled, Ashley and Bishop will be pretty fucked off seeing as they paid good money to place that propaganda out there
