For fucks sake, I see it now Haydn. That wasn't autocorrect either, I'm blaming my eyes that time Ok, and no worries, I sometimes wonder if my replies come across like I'm some kind of smarmy moaning wanker, wait... ?

The Rangers fans who were on the podcast said that going or not going isn't the be all and end all. I agree that whilst it makes a statement, pressure on his other companies is more lucrative in rattling him than staying away. I agree btw in terms of buying things in the ground, how people can still do that is beyond me. But whilst Rafa is manager it's going to be hard for people to chuck it. No offence to Rangers fans, but their games and equally Blackpool, that league doesn't get the exposure or coverage like the PL does. When has there been a premier league game shown on Sky with nobody attending, at the time Rangers were not even in their top tier. The TMG need to get us all not going in, it's a massive challenge to convince over 50,000 but really you don't need to convince 50,000, one person has to convince themselves. You are responsible for you. But in this day and age everyone loves to be part of something a trend or something bigger,there were tons in the town centre outside SD in the first protest, most for a great cause, others out of sheer noseyness what's going on etc. Sounds bitchy "I did the protest," I took a banner, I wear my magpie group badge" I'm part of something, Just don't fucking go in there at all. Did you go in yesterday Hyden? Jesus, my name is right there when replying, how can you get it that wrong Yeah I did. One of the pathetic Ashley apologist sheep is what I am I suppose, then. Just took part in all 3 home game protests because it's trendy to. Sorry but that's a load of shite. We all have reasons for going or not, we all have different breaking points; hopefully after getting into university this time next year it will be my last season anyway, but I would've chucked it if Rafa left regardless. In addition to that, after what happened with my dad back in January I would like to spend as much time with him as possible, he's been going since the early 70s. If the MG organise a boycott, like all of the previous protests, we'll be taking part in it. Not because it's trendy, because it's a cause I believe in. Sorry Hayden, was the mobile typo. You will get this though, some fans disagreeing with you attending and you having your own reasons for going, I'm just saying some people do get involved for a bit of attention, if you are strong willed you just wouldn't feed Ashley pockets, but that's my opinion, I'm sure loads will disagree, they have their season ticket now so what else are they going to do with it. But before freaking out like I'm slagging you off, (I'm not btw) I wanted to ask you would you be prepared to miss a game? If somebody organised whichever live game will be shown on Sky, for all fans to miss one game, I'm sure whatever an individual's reasons for going or not going, each ticket holder could skip one live game to make a statement to the wankers at the club and the ignorant media. You do what you need to do, my replies are not personal, I just wish all could boycott even for one game.??

Maybe next home game on Sky as many people as possible boycott the kick off and sit after 10 minutes or every willing fan can carry a placard/sheet of paper wit Ashley out as that will get message across It would be a start. But really each fan needs to be brave as an individual and not buckle. The picture whit all lined across holding the we are a city banner, they should block the turnstiles/gate entry points. Try to make people not enter.

Check out @TheMagpieGroup_’s Tweet: I'm with most of the replies to this tweet. Until people boycott the ground and don't turn up for games nowt will change. People feel safer being in a group or being part of something, the real strength will be when each person acts individually and does not enter. This is not a dig at TMG they are doing this to get exposure in numbers, but the problem is it's not getting across to the media, reading the comments in that tweet to me personally the message is clear, don't go to the games, support the TMG protests but then don't go in the ground or the club shop or sharers bar before or after. I bet the average person after their season ticket and replica shirt, still adds another £40 to £50 per match day into Ashleys pocket without realising, just try within yourselfs to stop going to games, an empty or half empty stadium on sky tv will get the media's attention, Rangers and Blackpool fans had the strength to do it, can you? Looking at them pictures is great, but I bet everyone still went in and sat down and spent extra cash in the ground....... Btw, I don't know how to make the tweet bit active

He'll do what he always does, wait until around December when we are ultimately going down. Then do some sort of gamble by chucking 50m at Rafa to stay and get some faces through the door to avoid the drop. Let's face it, it's the only reason Benitez is actually here now, because that fat cock likes a gamble, only thing was he didn't act quick enough to remove McLaren and Benitez couldn't work a miracle with a squad of players who by that time had already given up, and a 20 year old Jamaal Lascelles was the only player concerned. The thing is though Rafa wouldn't fall for it a second time surely? Would he?

Ritchie and Murphy both looking to supply the diagonal and catch out the Arsenal full backs. I'm scratching my head why Rondon isn't in the side, because so far it seems we are looking to attack the flanks both Ritchie and Murphy have put numerous balls into the area, but surprise there's nobody available to convert anything. I think we would have had a goal in that half with an extra forward on the pitch and sacrifice Hayden or Ayoze.

I never really had much to begin with so not that arsed tbh. The squad's not good enough, and if Muto can't get a start when our centre forward is out, he's been a pointless signing. Muto can't even get ahead of Perez, who's a total pussy.

Weird, fucking weird. Can't be arsed anymore. Football politics wankers!

I think its time to stop basing our squad value vs others squad value on how we approach games now. If we know we are the leagues lowest spenders does this mean we continue to play arses to the wall football or let the players show their own value? We could go on like this all season deciding before we have even faced a side they are better than us because they spent more or have players with a reputation or more international caps etc etc. I know it's cliche but Leicester didn't fear anyone when they won the league with the players they had. We all know Ashley is a tight bastard but it's just comprising the players by asking them to go out each week and not have a go in order to prove a point to Ashley that the squad is weak he should spend more etc. Yes he should and yes the squad could be improved, and yes he's a lying cock, but I just wish we would let the lads have a bit of freedom and go and take the game to Arsenal.

he was insane in that 5th season, just battering cunts all over getting on the end of scraps while the other 9 players stood in rows of 4 and watched him Yohan Cabaye orchestrated everything in that season. It was hard even with a wanker like pardew in charge for that group of players to get anything wrong. They all just gelled and made it work. Was that also Coloccini's best season for us?

?? Honest post. I think pretty much the same, I think it's an age thing though.{kill me on ageism} Millenials love their stats facts and just generally any way to prove an opinion wrong, and equally their social media. Forums are relatively an older form of SM and I'm surprised they are still in existence. Your points though are valid. Thing is nothing ever changes.

Was Muto any good tonight? I missed near enough all the game. Caught the best and worst 6 minutes of injury time,

He's not helping himself playing centre backs at left back with Sterry on the other side. Good luck trying to play football with them bringing the ball out. We've got some fucking horrendous footballers in those positions. Who the fuck else was he supposed to play at full-back? Yedlin and Dummett absolutely cannot be risked, as evidenced by the backup brigade on show tonight (and at Cardiff). Aye, I suppose we need to keep them fresh so we can wheel them out for the hammering against City on Saturday. I think I'd rather have won today tbh. Resting players for a game we are gonna get beat in anyway and for the big relegation battle and we aren't even out of August. No aim other than to exist in the pl and then we get 11 years of wank and knocked out on purpose runt he cups. That's rafas hat trick now oxford and forest twice. Shite Remember the slaughtering Pardew and the rest of the shite used to get? Genuine question, do you think it is best for the club to get Rafa Out or get Ashley Out if you had to choose. Because if you say Ashley you are undermining your own point of view by focusing your ire on Rafa. Getting Ashley out needs to be the utmost priority. We can worry about Rafa if still underperforming under new ownership (in the unlikely event that we even get that far) He's consistent on Rafa, and having a go when we play badly, and on occasions rightly so. But one thing he never ever does,is answer these types of questions. Just like what you asked,and before you others have asked who he would replace Rafa with, you never get an answer.

Easy for you to say being admin anyone else gets slaughtered for differ in opinion of Rafas choices. But, I would say Mitro was good in the prem first time around, did he not bag 9 in his debut season, in a shambles of a side and with a shambles of a manager? I did agree on him being dropped for most of our championship season, he just never looked like he would get going down there, but then proved in a short loan he could score at that level last season. I expected Rafa to use him this season, but like what is going on behind the scenes now with Lascelles etc, if it's kept behind closed doors we just don't know what Mitro has done to annoy Rafa, it is to be more of a personal issue than a playing one, because to be fair to Mitro he's gone out on loan applied himself and done well, then gone out to a world cup, and now returned signed to Fulham and hit the ground running. I think if you cross Rafa you get frozen out, so you basically have to be on your best behaviour at all times and not question his decisions.

??

Jesus, I actually agree with you on something.

Same again next week. Can't be arsed.

You can't pretend to be happy about playing negative arses to the wall football though. No threat going forward and being bosses at home.

I fully agree You would have to blame Rafa for that though. Nobody likes to do that.

Sums up the half

Sorry but that's bollocks. Fans do what fans do, nobody deserves someone to come and take their club hostage. Fair point. But don't moan about something and then fund it. Have you listened to the True Faith podcast with the Rangers fans? Yes Craig is spot on. Particularly on the part where he discusses he was a none entity and nobody knew who he was, a bit like what I was saying further back, sometimes you have to be accountable for you and you only. With our fans it seems to be about what is everyone else doing. Have we got our own Craig? Or are we copying and sons of struth? The other thing is they (Rangers) moved much quicker, our support has watched this go on for over a decade. The other week thousands were in the town centre, many for a good reason but a lot out of sheer curiosity and pheromone in the air. I do hope, actually I pray there's a Craig among our support a guy or girl that doesn't crave the attention or publicity from slaying Ashley if it's possible. Every support has their ways of doing things, I just hope the time for continued talk of things is coming to an end and actual action is going to take place, to be honest having a go at your own supporters is pointless, we do it because we get angry, we are angry usually because we are passionate. At the end of the day, we are all the same and have the same in common and are fighting the same fight.

Sorry but that's bollocks. Fans do what fans do, nobody deserves someone to come and take their club hostage. Fair point. But don't moan about something and then fund it.

In a way you are right. Rangers,Blackpool,and West Ham more recently, their fans have shown more in actions rather then words. People and fans need to take some form of action rather than just talking about it. And take responsibility as individuals,it seems most fans need to hop on board with others or feel they have to be part of a group or organised event, just resign from all things nufc if you are serious about anything anti-Ashley.
