We gave him a knighthood.

One of the worst parts of social media is the distortion of 'left' and 'right' that it has created now all those gobshites effectively 'have a voice' and shriek hysterically about what is 'liberal' and what is 'fascist/right wing/bigoted'. Don't bother with any form of SM now, you waste your life reading stupid things from stupid people.

He scored multiple goals against Newcastle in their recent run in the derbies. I think people downplay how important that is to a lot of their fans. Same thing goes for a few pages back where it was expressed that there should be sympathy that Ellis Short has somehow held them back over the last few years by subsidising their PL existence. For us the recent derby run has been a bit shit and symptomatic of Newcastle being shit in general.For that lot, to have had 10 years uninterrupted in the top flight and beating us 6 times in a row? These are their golden years man!!

Brentford

Heard a rumour it's going to be VW. No idea how true the rumour is. True story.

Not sure it was an actual foul, but having given the penalty, and given there was no attempt at playing the ball how is that not a red card?

"Completely different scenario" apparently. Looked a carbon copy to me like

Hope he runs into the back of someone, that's my favourite Colback foul. I'm partial to the needless and blatant shirt tug on a winger whose stood facing the corner flag with no support and is struggling to keep the ball under control. So brainless.

Either way, if Lascelles wants to be a premier league centre back he should be getting there and making that header. Which he could have done if he wasn't stood there with his arm in the air claiming the offside. Play to the whistle man.

Was our man if the match in my opinion, because he was the only one at the races in the first half. Final ball not great and got worse as he tired but beat his man time and time again. In general the game was a little scrappy but fair play to bristol city for having a go and not just shutting up shop like a lot of teams have, they had a go and left some gaps at the back in doing so. Special mention to the ref for bottling the most clear foul/red card you'd ever see for that push on mitro with a completely clear view. Prick.

Definitely agree with this. It's exactly the sort of game we tend to trip up in. First choice xi and fully up for it please. Remember when we made all those changes against blackburn ahead of the away games at hull and forest and it all went tits up anyway? Got to take the "easy" points when they're there and worry about the harder stuff when it comes. So, start Ritchie, tell him to watch his backchat and no stupid sliding tackles across fullbacks clearing the ball -it's not that hard surely- and if we go 2 or 3 up, then look at bringing him and shelvey off. Also, probably an unpopular opinion but assuming it's Mitro as striker I'd play Perez ahead of Diame. He's looked better recently, and for some reason him and mitro both seem to look better when they're played together.

Much needed perspective. It's frustrating watching some pretty awful football the last couple of months, no doubt about it, but it's a strength of his that he knows his own mind and will stick to his methods. I would expect us to look a lot more fluid if he is still here next season and adds some much needed quality to key areas of the squad. Totally agree with both of these posts, Rafa is a master at game management, we would have lost at Norwich the other week if it wasnt for him. Was getting a coffee at work today and a lad from the office made a point of saying "your team are doing well at the moment." The football might not have been great recently but the results are still there and we'd have killed for that kind of form under the shite managers we've had recently. Rafa knows what he's doing!

On the flipside, I think it's sad to see supposed football fans decrying a club for "getting too big for it's boots" every time a manager gets sacked. Sky have drilled their audience well into believing that some clubs are entitled to be successful and everyone else should know their place and stick to it. Sad! It's all a matter of opinion end of the day.

It will be just before us, that's a very good point. Means they won't have so much of an advantage in terms of not playing midweek. Unless they pull a dick move and rest the whole team or summat.

If anything I was slightly more annoyed with Sheff Wed winning and dragging themselves back into contention.

I'm worried about huddersfield but I think we'll beat Reading. Everytime I've seen them they've been wank. It'll be two out of us, Brighton, huddersfield imo

Brighton are gonna get this winner nailed on

Here we fucking go

was always gonna happen

Sounds like Perez has played well tonight

Yes

What were they singing? "Jonjo Shelvey, he hates p***s, makes me feel this way." Group of about 10, so a minority but it's just not f***ing on. It was even worse than that- the last line they were singing was actually "and the IRA". Like a game of right-wing, Ingerland-fans-abroad twat cliche bingo. Surprised they didn't try to shoe-horn some anti-semitism in somewhere. Was the finishing touch to a shit day out in what others have already alluded to is a proper shit tip. Thank god we actually won the match.

They doubtlessly will be out to get a reaction from him but even he will be expecting it surely. He's just got to carry on with his job like a sensible human being without losing his rag that's all. It's probably easier said than done but he's a professional footballer and it's a pretty basic part of the job.

Looks like that Ty fella had some bother with Chelsea fans on the weekend. Actually felt quite sorry for him seeing this: https://youtu.be/TQe0ST6t2Aw Why are people such dickheads man? I'm all for having a laugh but what entertainment do you get from doing that? It's just mob mentality I think? Saw a fuckload of Oxford fans carrying on like that at a couple Newcastle fans after the cup game the other week. No decent crack or witty songs, just repeated abuse because they're heavily outnumbering the opposition fans therefore they can. What a way to live your life.
