Rompe

This thread has gone way over the top. Some critical comments about Rafa, and off we go.

Because losing is more likely to get rid of Ashley, I'd presume.

Outclassed is maybe a bit strong of a word. But I felt that Arsenal were in control and comfortable for almost the entire game.

We were completely outclassed, and were lucky to not be behind at the break, as both Mkhitaryan and Aubameyanh could have, and probably should have, scored. Don't know why people are defending Bruce and his tactics, or lack thereof. We created next to nothing and they were the better side pretty much the entire game.

It's strange to play with only one central midfielder for over half an hour. It's even more strange to think that the manager that thought this was a good idea, will somehow improve our team over the season.

Pellegrini is right to bring attention to it, as it is very often overlooked. They get tons of praise for playing beautiful, but they are clearly as cynical as they come.

The Premier League Youtube channel is absolutely amazing. They've got the best goals of every season, along with the best goals for each team since the PL started. 23 minutes of our best goals, it's incredible.

As far as third keepers go you could do a lot worse.

Got on two bets earlier in the summer Us to go down at 5 to 1, which is currently at 3 to 1. Arsenal -2,5 at 9,50 to 1, which is now at 7 to 1. Good value imo.

You say that as if there isn't a siginificant amount of our fanbase that needs reminding of what Ashley is like, or how much we've really spent.

Mindblowing opinion. I take it that's Darlow, Colback, Dummett and Clark holding him outside the top 4? Well yeah obviously. Nope, the actual quality passers at the club. Schar, Lejeune, Ki. Mindblowing indeed. They're nowhere near Shelvey, especially when you factor in vision and creativity. Ki a better passer than Shelvey, I've heard it all now.

Makes a couple of comments that could be interpreted as being critical of Rafa, and all of a sudden Shelvey is the worst Newcastle player of all time. Funny how it goes

Never submitted a bid for Fernandes or Longstaff. Seem to be doing their bidding in the press hoping it unsettles the players and gets them to put transfer requests in. in the past Man utd wanted a player they went and paid the price and got them. Ole said he was going to reshape the squad but he hasn't shipped anyone out yet. Clock is ticking for him. Reshaping the squad doesn't mean buying a load of players. Herrera and Valencia have left. We've brought in James and Wan-Bissaka. AWB is a great signing. Looks like he'll be giving a lot of youth the chance this year too. Tuanzebe, Greenwood, Chong etc. I'd say the above counts as a reshape in the space of a few months. A poor reshape, but then again Solskjær is a crap manager and shouldn't be anywhere near your club.

There's plenty on here that have renewed. Are you going to call them all out? Yes. They are hereby called out

Seymour is a sad commentary on our fanbase, at least a portion of it. No matter what Ashley does, no matter what Newcastle becomes he will be there cheering him on. Infuriating and pathetic.

Why wouldn't he go to China? Has he had any other offers?

Don't even know where to begin with this. Absolutely mental.

Nine...

Eight now, lol. What a joke.

Alf Inge Haalands son just scored his seventh of the day against Honduras in the U-20 World Cup. Can't remember any player scoring more in one game before, anyone?

This stadium is absolutely horrible.

Maybe I've been missing out, but I don't really see why people are saying this. I mean, nobody really knows anything, he's just reporting from his sources.

He's like a kid spitting his dummy out. How? He is right to be skeptical in my opinion.

Subbing on a player to take a pen just adds extra pressure on him. What's the point.
