Same here

Need a win here. Think we'll get one.

The amount of shit posted in the match threads, Jesus...

The "when I did leave we were ninth" bit says a lot about him. Ninth for him is top of the league. When we finished fifth, for him it was like winning the Champions League.

4-4-2, park the bus and hoof it towards Mitro and the J-man.

What? It's The King and The Best Manager In The Premier League. They're going for the title.

2002 Group of Death reunion on the cards. Like that poster, very retro.

I still feel a lot more comfortable when Pardew has a job (that's not NUFC). Damaged for life.

Hahahahaha John fucking Carver

Good post.

GOAL

5 loses in a row. Rafa = Pardew levels of incompetence. U2 = Trump levels of weapons-grade miserable horse s***. f*** off. God I hate Bono

Yeah, important game this. Just win ffs.

WTF I've just moved to Brixton, f*** off Mike. When he kicks on your front door, how you gonna come? With your hands on your head or on the trigger of your gun? I cannot read this in any other way than one big euphemism. Bet you feel like Ivan

Confidence and narcissism are two different things.

Yep. I don't really care about starting elevens anymore. Sure, I have opinions but at the end of the day, I trust Rafa.

Welcome to N-O

I wouldn't. He's a good finisher but he disappears if he isn't given decent service. We can't afford any passengers at the minute and he doesn't do enough work or have the hold-up play for a team that's struggling. I remember Cisse was often a passenger towards the end of his time here for similar reasons, with games just passing him by. Sure you can blame the service, but we need someone who can make the ball stick up front and relieve some pressure, and/or chase down defenders and defend from the front. I'd go with Mitro and Perez, back to the 4231 that was getting us results. If you have no attacking quality, all you can do is make yourself hard to beat and hope you can nick enough games 1-0 to keep your head above water. Shelvey and Merino are capable of feeding him with through balls and he's more likely to score than any of our other forwards.

Win. I'd start with Gayle.

When did Rafa lose 4 in a row?

2 games in a row without scoring is always concerning.
