Isn't it? It's better than what most of the others are doing.

As if 36k people went to this. The fuck?

He looked like a fish out of water when he first came, but he got batter as he went on.

Sell the club you power mad cunt.

Why is anyone even having a go at him ffs.

How was it awful from the manager? He can't risk the two or three players who are absolutely vital to us surviving, and we started the game on the front foot. The players were absolutely appalling today. It's his job to win football matches....f***s sake he can be blamed you know it's not illegal The s**** tactics and way we play and approach games is down to him The whole setup stinks from top to bottom (a fish rots from the head, as they say) Get rid of Rafa and who you gonna get to come in? Rafa 'might' keep us up - Pardew/Allardyce, etc won't. Can you honestly say big Sam would get any worse from this group of players??? Sam is used to getting a tune from s****....Rafa isnt Literally the first post I saw in this thread, so thanks for giving me the signal to have the night off from N-O. The whole forum's gone to the dogs. People are saying we were s***.....we were People are saying Rafas tactics were s*** .....they were Do we have to say Rafa is king no matter what? Gone to the dogs for having a genuine opinion on the state of it all, I’ve always been behind Rafa but tfuck me tonight he got it wrong again, at home, again. Convince me that We and Rafa are fine, go on. Even if I agree with you, how does any of it relate in any way to the blatant and obviously stupid suggestion that Sam f***ing Allardyce would do a better job? Edit: And having a genuine opinion on the state of it all isn't why the forum's gone to the dogs, it's because examples of utterly stupid posts like the one above (comparing Rafa with Big Sam ffs ) have become more and more common over the last couple of years. I never ever said Allardyce is better than Rafa I said I don't believe that we'd be in any worse a position We are going down with everyone's Beloved Rafa and no one will blame him on here as he is impregbable If we went down with Allardyce it would be his fault no doubt Allardyce has worked with average s**** all the time. Rafa has never had this level of s*** to work with ever that's the reason I think we'd be no worse off But hey bury your head in the sand.... So Allardyce would have finished 10th last season?

I’m sorry like. Everyone knows who’s really to blame, but Rafa and the players deserve a wave of criticism for performances like today. They’re not immune. I’m still in the stadium having watched that 90mins, and it was possibly the worst I’ve seen us play. Absolutely woeful all round, including from Rafa. what did you expect buying a ticket? Hey...maybe I’m crazy...but buying a ticket for a cup game (as 36,000 others did), I expect us to take the game to a championship team and beat them. I don’t expect us to sit deep, struggle to pass it over the halfway line, and ultimately perform worse than I’ve ever seen us. Unless you’re trying to hilariously imply that it’s somehow mine and 35999 other people’s fault? Yes, you must be crazy then. Our strongest 11 is made up of mainly championship players. And we play an even weaker side than that in the cups. You're fault for buying a ticket and expecting anything different. f*** off man I love Rafa and what he stands for, but his tactics at home have been woefully short this season. We play decent football away from home...it’s only tactics that are stopping us doing the same at home. Wey, don't go to the games then, don't come on here moaning when you know what you are going to see.

That's us not getting a pen for another 3 seasons

He can't risk the two or three players who are absolutely vital to us surviving Why can't he? It's the third round of the FA Cup, not a fucking friendly.

Yes because players always get injured only for one week. Howay man, I'm one of Rafa's biggest fans, but do you want to win a trophy or not?

Rafa is at fault here like, we aren't playing for another week.

Us ffs

Anyone know the attendance?

How can he know the team already?

Not sure eggsactly.

Didn't realise Blackburn had such a good history tbh, 3 leagues, 6 fa cups and a league cup.

It was the right call.

Nothing to see here. *hopes he's wrong*

I feel like i'm at one of my lowest points following the club, maybe only surpassed by the relegations (the second was comforted with Rafa staying) There is just no hope, having a world class manager in charge only for him to be completely wasted, the thoughts of what he could have achieved with even mediocre backing will linger and linger. Just f***ing sick, my club is being deliberately held back and gutted from the inside out.

We all knew at the end of the summer transfer window that this was going to be one long painfull goodbye season, and that is exactly how it's turning out.

I think it should be Saturday, it will 100% work

Because Liverpool winning it is the alternative? I don't get that either, the top four or five teams are all trying to buy the title. Liverpool, media love in, etc etc.
