Figures 1-0 Football

Wasn't he on the bench today? EDIT - Just checked, he's not started any of the last 5.

wrong Hypothetically if Rafa came in straight after Pardew on the same terms as he is with is now, would we have ever gone down?

What would make you come back?

That's bullshit Yorkie. Pardew was/is shite but any manager worth his salt would have come in and done exactly what Rafa has, demand full control to sort it out. We employed Carver and SMC who were both 'yes men' and happy to plod along under the same shite as Pardew did. If we had bought in a strong manager immediately after Pardew, we'd have been fine. But we didn't we went for cheap and cheerful.

Ibra sounds just as mental as he looks, like some sort of mafia hardman.

Why? Why not? They had their fun But for them to be relegated when there's loads of unlikable clubs to choose from? If you ignore their fairytale season last year, they are pretty unlikeable. The clappers alone should be enough to wish relegation on them. "You're shit ahhhh" at the opposition goalkeeper

mackems. Pardew became irrelevant to this club the day he left. People moan about an obsession with the mackems, yet this twat features high on the board 24/7. Aye he is a dickhead, aye he damaged our club but we're on the up with a superstar manager now and this bloke and his tin-pot club mean nothing.

Burnley 9th going into the international break. Incredible.

Liverpool look incredible, which kills me to write.

Feel their system will let them down eventually though, cannot possibly keep being a feeder club to the top four and expect to constantly find great replacements. Well they've done it for the last 3 or 4 years and always improved their league position every year Aye but I don't see it being feesible to continue, eventually they have to try to keep hold of their star players to compete. There is only so many times they can replace good players with good players (and managers) before they come across some real duds.

A couple of weeks ago he'd have smashed a shot into the defender rather than playing Atsu in for the goal. His all round play seems to be improving, as does his temper, benefits more than likely down to Rafa. Think this lad could really keep improving under Rafa and go on to be a class player, has the raw talent but just needs polishing and we have the best man in place to do that.

How long he out for? Really fancy us to win that. Cannot believe we might have a SF man, fucking hell!

Still think we need a fourth graph comparing us with every winner of the Championship since 1972.

That forum looks like it hasn't been updated since 2005 Not surprising. Have you ever been to Palace? That place hasn't been updated since 1950.

Coquelin is terrible for exaggerating stuff. Such a cunt. I remember the tap on his ankle that resulted him flying 12 yards into the air against us.

Both Wolves & Leeds have an 'e' and an 's' in their name tbf. I can see the similarities.

Southampton to score 2+ @ 5/6 (£100) Arsenal to score 2+ @ 4/5 (£100) The double @ 2.3/1 (£100)

Do not feel confident at all until I've seen some graphs to be honest.

The Mag needs to just fuck off like. Other clubs actually read it thinking it is the general consensus amongst our support, when really it is RTG levels of tragic.

That game doesnt matter, they didnt need to win so it doesn't matter how good he was in it. Unless he scores the winner in this years FA Cup final, he's had a shit year.

Was it the mackems game at home a couple years ago that we lost 1-0 where he came out with similar shit as he did yesterday? Throws his entire squad up the pitch in the last minute to score, then acts shocked as the other team counters and wins the game.

To be fair, they hate anyone other than themselves. One of the worst for patting themselves on the back these are.

Big test this is to keep our winning run going. They are in form but also capable of collapsing like a pack of shit, think they'll be in and around the playoffs this season so this would be a good win if we could take it. Would be happy enough with a draw, but think we still have much more quality than them and should win it.

Think he will get binned soon, personally.
