How long did McClaren persist with that again? Right up until Shelvey came in, over half the season.

Said still too soon for some. Assume thats Atsu and Lascelles.

Aye. Him here and Hayden tuesday is much better then Diame then him on tuesday

Practically already safe man. In no bother.

I get being agaisnt a Name Change, but why be against a new ground?

Rafa's hinting at Merino returning. Feels like forever since he started a game.

Remarkable that as well as nearly taking someone's head off every time he plays, he's still never been as good as he was for us anywhere else.

I'd rather beat them with Rafa showing him up but hey ho

It's good knowing they won't be able to afford to buy him

He'll still have a contract he's entitled to if he cant recover. He could try to come back and still get his wages.

Bought out of the deal so we can put Sports Direct on our tops when he goes

We've never really got to formal bids under Ashley before

What else would it fall down over? Ashley running the club in a way that was foul of the law and them fucking off after looking through the accounts.

Urgh - if this falls down over price.

I'm not sure its that clear Gayle won't be prolific if he's fit like

Thing for me is - yesterday wasn't a straight fight about their merits - Elliot wasn't moving right after the knock, you don't leave a potentially injured keeper on in a game where you're under pressure. He should have been subbed.

Think its time for Ritchie to stop being an ever present now.

Press out massively praising them. Douglas comparing it to when we appointed Rafa.

He played vs Palace were we kept a clean sheet. Its not like he's caused us to leak goals.

Did he even touch the ball in half an hour?

I hadn't looked and expected it to be a lot closer by now, to be fair.

If we'd just got tonked from the start it probably wouldn't hurt so much. Fact we actually had our chances and led the game makes it hurt more.

I hope Merino's back soon.

Can't see where the next result's coming from like. We're shite agaisnt the big teams and small ones right now

Hayden could have his leg taken off and there'd still be no sympathy
