So Ironic how they want a top class manager to get them in front of Liverpool yet turn their noses up at Rafa because he managed their Rivals. For that alone I hope they make an appointment that totally falls on it's arse and they drop down. Before anything,you should want the best for your club. Still,glad they are doing it as it improves our chances ever so slightly

So I presume from now when the Sky Sports "experts" talk about "City" they will mean Leicester?

After watching that Arsenal fan video I fear Arsene may get struck down in a drive by shooting.

Whatever happens Rafa has sent us out fighting with a team that couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag under McClaren. If Rafa had came in and continued getting beat I would have been gutted for him as the media would just right him off and laugh that he "didn't have the experience for relegation" He's already proved he can turn a team around at the foot of the table and above all else I just hope he stays.

Shelvey or SDJ would definitely make us better in attack. Hope it happens.

Would like to see him start v Villa. Gini starting is pointless and we need someone to play some good forward passes which this man can do. Hopefully being left out for a few games has gave him the kick up the arse.

My hope is, that we MUST somehow be due an away win, I mean f***ing hell surely even we cant go all season without picking up 3pts on the road? If we don't, we deserve to be relegated at full time, regardless of other results. We have already won against Bournemouth away fwiw, but still our record is s***. And that win away at Spurs. How we got those 3 points with McClaren in charge I'll never know but thank god we did. They must be kicking themselves at losing those though

Depends if Arsenal are right up their arse.If so Spurs wouldn't want to finish 3rd below them and they'll be well up for it.

Sherwood was on Match of the Day 2 just after Rafa was appointed and he was saying Sunderland will stay up

And pointing to his watch telling the ref to get on with it in the 70th/80th min

Didn't he have a few decent games before his injury? remember him cutting inside a lot and making some good passes creating some opportunities. Will never be a top player though and with the pace he has he really should be better than he is. One of the worst I've ever seen for his decision making.

Someone from PM won 700k from a 25p spin Personally I do 50p/£1 spins as my float can allow it. It's worked well for me so far but it all depends on the offer and slot RTP.

11. Honestly, don't f***ing bother thinking you won't get three points. If you think otherwise, you genuinely have no idea what is going on at Villa at the moment. We're not even trying. We're 11 c***s who do not give a tenth of a single s*** between themselves. If you can't beat us by at least two goals, you don't just deserve relegation, you belong in League One. Cisse will score 3 but they will all be ruled out correctly for being offside. Mitrovic will hit everything with the ball except the back of the net. Colback will score an own goal after giving away a free kick and you will win 1-0.

Yeah, freebetchallenge.co.uk to get started with the sign up offers. Then PM for ongoing calendar of offers. Or google, they may be others as well. Yep, I've heard these guys are pretty good as well. PM as in Profit Maximiser? I'm a member of that and have been for about 2 and a half years. It's earned me 11k so far. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Recipe for disaster.

Imagine if Spurs needed a win against us to win the League and we needed a draw to stay up. It's 1-1 with 15 minutes left.... I also imagine how it must feel to get a paper cut on your bellend.

2 wins for Sunderland from the 4 games and that's them safe considering the goal difference. To match that we would need 2 wins and a draw.

There's bound to be at least one shock result in the games between us v Palace and villa, Sunderland v arsenal and Chelsea and Norwich v man utd and arsenal. Unfortunately it won't work in our favour so we just need to hope that the results on paper hold up.

This is what I have after the following - Newcastle - v C Palace (H) WIN. v Villa (A) WIN. v Spurs (H) DRAW. Sunderland - v Arsenal (H) LOSS. v Stoke (A) DRAW. v Chelsea (H) LOSS. v Everton (H) DRAW. v Watford (A) WIN. Norwich - v Arsenal (A) LOSS. v Man Utd (H) LOSS. v Watford (H) WIN. v Everton (A) LOSS. http://s20.postimg.org/gk8c54w0d/image.png Not unrealistic imo. Anything less than wins against Palace or Villa though and we are down.

Hope the Rafa song is sung for the whole 90 mins (except the 17th probably) Partly to show how much the man is loved and also as a huge fuck you to Pardew showing him what he could have won if he had even the smallest bit of tactical know how, and a sprinkle of the likeability factor. Anyway,we need to smash them and get that GD back in order.

Doesn't give them a need to rest any of the main starting 11 so hopefully he will put strong teams out against Sunderland and Norwich

What players names are in that Benitez song? I can only make out Wijnaldum and Perez

If we do get a win it's nailed on Sunderland will follow by beating Arsenal

Walked past the radio at work today just as Rafa's interview from last night started. I froze like a mad man all lop sided so I could get clear air between the speaker and my ear Under Pardew or Carver the radio would have been going out the window.
