How do you work that one out? Because sports direct has had a decade of free advertising, valued at £200m to £250m . Which has helped transform the business from a successful one to a spectacularly successful one. And us as a club have missed out on 10 years of advertising revenue that would have filled the spaces his shite has.

27/12/2017 Manchester City (h) 30/12/2017 Brighton and Hove Albion (h) 01/01/2018 Stoke City (a) 13/01/2018 Swansea City (h) 20/01/2018 Manchester City (a) 31/01/2018 Burnley (h) If you ignore the Man City games, not that it's impossible to get anything from those two games, but it's going to be tough. The other 4 games are key for us. the 3 at home have to bring at least 7 points or we really are fecked.

Rashford holding his face Cheating fucker and Jose reckons Man City go down easy

You employ the bag shit you get what you deserve, even the deflections know

Hahaha fuck you Pards

Could be right Doc, still looks funny though.

Ancelotti's wonky eye would have been doing cartwheels if he was here.

Shame.

Is this a Brexit thing ?

What a fantastic goal.

CM FM speak innit, central midfielder like. Yeah I know that, but I'd describe him more as an attacking midfielder rather than a central midfielder I dunno, he comes from deep and and doesn't really start to far forward, but the wonderful thing about Pep's system is he has freedom to do what he wants and go where he wants, i just love watching him play. I don't think I've seen such a complete player for a while.

De Bruyne best CM around at the mo, so so good

That's a red ffs.

Dele Ali with a bit of fantastic cheating there, not even touched.

Why is Lejeune heading that, just bring it down ffs.

Wish our front would hold on to the fucking ball once in a while.

Rafa could walk out this afternoon. Any talk of that putting pressure or putting the spotlight on Ashley is fanciful. Ashley simply doesn't care, the last 10 years should be all you need to know that.

Brilliant

Personally i'm not a massive fan of Rafa's football but imo, as soon as Ashley gone this club with breathe again. Obviously i'm not saying we'll start playing brilliant football but the hold, the grip, the utter cancer this man has spread through this club will be lifted. We just need a few more weeks and we're free of the wretched piece of scum.

You cannot completely absolve him from number 2. Seriously, even with the ridiculous restrictions and number of times he has been f***ed over, the players he has decided to bring in are just pure crap. How many f***ing times? They weren't the players he decided to bring in, they were the players that he ended up having to resort to. You already know this, you just f***ing love your snivelling sack of s*** WUM act. He selected those players as back-up deals. He didn't have to sign Joselu, but he did. Alternative being... Could have signed someone like Charlie Taylor for left-back and just played Mitrovic. Yup. Kept Hanley as 4th choice and mbemba back in at centre back. Begovic went for £10m. Been badly squad managed and a failure of a window. Dave has already said this but say Begovic, it's not the £10m that was the problem, it's the wages he would be on. We didn't sign players because of their value, we didn't sign them because Ashley wouldn't pay their wages. Now Rafa should be doing better, no doubt but this lays at Ashley's feet. Bournemouth can afford his wages, so can we. We’d have sold Darlow to Boro, his wages, no Joselu, no need for another cb and what it’s cost to upgrade, it could have been done like. Of course we can, if Ashley wasn't the owner. He won't go to where we need to and other clubs go as that is modern football now, it's like we're 3 years behind everyone else. We needed a striker, couldn't get a GK so held on to Darlow. It's not difficult to understand that again it was the wages, Joselu was way down on Rafa's list but that he was the one that fitted the finances limited by Ashley. I'm not defending Rafa for the form we're in, but i can see the bigger picture where Ashley has the reigns well and truly held up.

Bimpy will still be moaning about 442 though. I won't, i quite like 4-4-2, much prefer 4-5-1, good research though. Well done

Thanks honey, but it's not about Mitro exactly, why are we watching a crap midfielder play up front when we have a striker, ok not a great one but who would offer more as a striker, not even in the squad. Even stick a kid up there, at least someone who plays as a striker as his natural position.
