His distribution is normally his only asset. That was shite on Sunday aswell. So he's still a cunt.

As Mike Ashley you mean. At the end of the day Ashley controls the money and always has. We had no problem spending money, bringing around 12 players in and shipping nearly 20 out last summer, now however things seem to have changed as Rafa has said. It's Ashley responsible for this. Cut him some slack IMO. You can't defeat Qatar with wallpaper.

Atleast at Anderlecht he had a decent hair cut. Now he looks like a Swedish milk maid. 5mil max.

He's saying the negative atmosphere is neither the players or Rafas fault, none of it's positive you absolute womble. That leaves us or Ashley the source of this discontent from his POV. Who do you think he's having a dig at? The honest interview giving owner, or the deluded Geordie nation? Blobs a grade A cunt.

What

I said it in the match thread. But for me, this relates back to Rafa saying that Gayle doesn't trust his own hamstrings anymore. He's scared to give 100% incase he pulls up.

Well thats just cheered everyone up no end. His NUFC badge is pointing down. The way we are heading without signings.

We have a Liverpool fan on this very board who says Rafas football is compact, rigid and boring. But will improve as the team does. Yet we have made zero first team improvements since the last time we went to Huddersfield in March / April time. They have.

The main reason? Really? The. Main. Reason? I can say again, THE MAIN REASON for today. Do you think Rafa WANTS to play a right footed CB at LB? Rob Elliott in goal and an unfit Gayle upfront? And have Diame come off the bench?

In his interview he did actually talk about the importance of momentum. And not letting negative momentum carry you down the divisions.

I'm disappointed we lost, but imagine if Huddersfield beat us 3-0 like Palace

Gayle is scared to pull his hamstring so isn't running at full tilt. Merino has made more forward passes this half than Colback has since he signed. Hayden loves a tackle.

Huddersfield owner says he agrees with Ashelys interview. Once he's put money in, a club most then support its self. Fuck off.

Spurs, Monaco, Toronto, NUFC.

Absolutely. I feel like we need Joselu in tomorrow and that is Daryl replaced. But for this window to be even semi respectable we need to shift the deadwood and sign 2 more players in the "12mil+" bracket, each. Who are they though? Unless you go abroad and get some unproven players, players you'd expect to be £12m these days in the Prem the club will ask for £20m. End up having to pay £12m for s**** Prem players actually worth like £5m and wouldnt improve us anyway I'm not Graham Carr ffs I did say 12 plus like. That's the minimum outlay we need to spend on 2 players. Unfortunately the chance of us spending around £30mil on 2 players looks worlds away. But it's what we need, so.

It's strange like. Me and some mates were saying our championship window was better than this. Say for example we got promoted with a different squad, and it was this window we signed Ritchie for 12mil, Gayle for 10mil and Yedlin etc. We would probably agree, that while not amazing, they are competitive signings for a team expecting to fight for survival.

Ta. In all seriousness as my reply was incredibly dickish, I really can't see Rafa ever playing two strikers together regularly even if one of them was used as a 10. They'll be moments in games when it happens but not most of the time, it would be a complete reverse from what he's shown to be as Newcastle manager. Aye, but that's what i'm pondering. Rafa will never play 2 out and out strikers, we all know that. So maybe he wants a mix of our number 10s best attributes and would use Joselu as a temporary fix. He's more mobile than Siem, more productive than Diame, and seems to have better passing and intelligence than Ayoze. In a perfect world we would sign a natural 10, but this is Mike Ashelys NUFC.

Ta.

Is there any chance he's coming in as a number 10? I appreciate not the number 10 we want, aka a smart price David Silva etc who can play a killer pass. But more so as somebody who can play as a more reserved striker behind Gayle. Who has the ability to play football, find space, actually move and hit a few goals. He seems to like a goal from distance and Stoke fans say he drifts deep or wide to help with the play. Bare in mind Ayoze is soft as s****, Diame is s****, and Siem can't be trusted for 15 games a season, let alone 30. I think this lad will be class if he gets more than 25 games worth of minutes. Especially for 5mil.

Didn't know they were negotiating brexit.

Really ? The game passed him by. Hayden was my man of the match like, was all over the pitch while being very solid at the back, he marked Eriksen out the game. He played well and made decent tackles. But he didn't mark Erikson out of the game ffs. He got both assists

Really ? The game passed him by.

Na, just polished his cock and started every question with "You are a very wealthy man...", "You've always been successful..." or "How good was it when...". Then thanked him for being honest.

We'll be knocked out by then. Just sums up his understanding of the cups and football in general
