Re your son asking if you're autistic. I know

Oi you, shut up.

Wait..what ?

It's more than a week, we get to enjoy seeing them calling for his head as they suffer a whole years worth of terrible football and results before the sacking...except here where Mike thought he was doing a great job of course Oh yes watching the wheels fall off the Pardew wanker wagon is fun, it's the week after he goes where my inner smug mode goes into overdrive

The Pardew cycle for us is, anger and frustration when his new clubs fans say we treated him unfairly, 5th place, Ashley against him, did a great job at Newcastle, ignoring all the facts that say otherwise, ignoring the lies , headbutts, excuses, Notting Hill carnival, Science........ Slowly but surely it turns to smugness as we were right all along, and we spend a week like this when he's finally sacked or walks.

As close to David Brent as you can get

The ego(s) have landed II.

Aye, the 5th place has fogged a lot of peoples thinking.

Ian Holloway is quite mad

He isn't interested in and doesn't want to invest in the club’s future. Not selling the club makes no sense for him, surely. I genuinely think he might agree to sell it but purposely drag things out over January to fuck us all off one last time, risking losing Rafa and relegation. Aye but wasn't one of the reasons he turned down the first bid, the relegation clause in it. To avoid that and sell he needs to do it in time for new owners to give Rafa some money. Or they won't buy maybe ?

Sports Direct run the club shop and online merchandise i think, something like that.

But i thought English managers never get a chance, these two bag of utter shite get them repeatedly. Well at least the standard of football will increase :lol:

The one hope I'm clinging to is we didn't spend too much in the summer because Ashley knew there were interested buyers, and was always going to sell around now. Not that really tallies with his Sky interview but I'm hoping that was it all the same.

Gareth Bale is smaller than i thought.

West Brom will be on a high, they just got an fantastic point at Spurs. This game is going to be a arse anyway, especially the form we're in.

Hope one of Everton's wayward shots goes through that window and smashes into his smug face.

I certainly do, doesn't stop one getting frustrated with him at times though.

You're assuming he isn't ? I take it you're assuming there's more to it than just not trusting him to stay on the pitch and not get a daft sending off ? Mitro is simply too much of a wild card for Rafa. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Aye, you could say the same about Shelvey but his face fits. I'm basing this purely on their abilities to get themselves in trouble on the pitch. If it was that, it does seem one rule for one and one for another. Then you add the Mbemba factor, a player who is a million times better than Manquillo yet he's not getting a sniff, and he doesn't worry you about getting sent off, again it seems his face doesn't fit. Rafa is superb but, and there always is one isn't there. Rafa seems to do things that hurt the team more than help it at times. Suppose he wouldn't be the success he is if that wasn't the case mind.

Elliot Yedlin LeJeune Lascelles Mbemba Hayden <-----Let these 3 rotate giving us good movement from midfield Merino Shelvey Ritchie Murphy (if Atsu isn't fit) Mitro Is how i would go.

Honestly why do people even think it might be true

I think it was Perez losing form and playing so poorly that brought the change. We have no other 10, something Rafa was desperate to buy. Personally i think we should have gone 4-5-1 for the last few games with Merino and Shelvey breaking from midfield with Hayden holding. Merino's injury stopped that option too though if it was something Rafa might have tried.

My god, that's horrendous :'(

Highlight was giving a free kick to them when Richarlison fouled Yedlin and then ran into Lejeune. Utterly dreadful ref. Nowt to do with the score though.

Absolutely, poor Premiership defender imo. Just one of those players who far too good in the Championship but nowhere near good enough in the Premier.
