Figures 1-0 Football

He's been consistently good for us throughout. No idea who the lad was who played for Villa but it certainly wasn't the lad who we bought.

If there is an offer for £20m, I'd take it. But there isn't and there wont be. I'm not convinced about Gayle in the PL, especially if Joselu can continue the performance he managed on Saturday. Gayle falls into the bracket of 'need to upgrade' but he's very low down on the priority list.

Silly season in the transfer window where a player doesn't feature (for any reason) and straight away the media report they are unhappy/subject of a bit/moving to Mars.

67,862 there, apparently.

Did the referee not see and deal with the incident when it happened? Therefore no action can be taken? Cant remember if he gave a freekick, but I thought he did.

Bit strange for him to single out triggs in his celebration like.

@MsiDouglas said on his FB page that talks where held (Charnley, Bishop & Rafa) and they were supportive of Rafa #NUFC Taken from NUFC360 so no idea if accurate.

He'll force through a move to China to be the main man at one of their teams. For f€€tballing reasons.

Probably that he scored a goal.

What the fuck was Britos trying to do?

The fact that nobody, including the West Ham player who threw himself to floor were calling for a red card, suggests that it was nothing. Fully expect the FA to throw him under the bus though - despite 2x Huddersfield players and Harry Kane doing much worse to us and getting away with naff all.

What about Huddersfield last week MOTD?...

This could of course work in our favour and put pressure on Ashley to give Rafa what he wants. Obviously that relies on Ashley being a normal human being, which we know he isn't.

Plus Allardyce was hated at West Ham for defensive football from the fans and owners Imagine Rafa's style there.

Being objective about it, what do we have that they don't? They're not scared of spending money. A commutal distance from his family vs having to work in London would have a significant factor I feel.

Sky absolutely desperate for us to fail like I personally think Rafa would turn them down.

Imagine if they arrested Aguero during the game Absolutely nothing in that.

Was it just me or were we playing 4-4-2 today?

Think he could learn a lot from Joselu, but he's continued his good pre-season scoring form with 2 in 2. 2 well taken goals too. Still love the crazy bastard, although Joselu was superb today.

The new quotes don't seem any different to the previous 82727 quotes across the last two windows. Rafa trying to put on more and more pressure to force Ashley's hand, with no actual intentions on walking away. I'll be pleased when the window closes and all of this talk disappears, again. Every window will be the same.

Bojan from Stoke?

Looks a really good talent, hope his injuries stop and we can see him develop at Liverpool when we sell him for £10m in January.

Didn't realise a Blackburn fan ran onto the pitch to confront Burnley players after they scored, which resulted in a minor scuffle and the fan being dragged the the floor

I'm pleased the 2 up front argument is back so early into the season Doesnt matter how many people we have up front if we cant defend like. 2 goals at home to Nottingham Forest Reserves should be more than enough.
