After the next win all will be forgotten

This.

A proper AIDS 1-0 win against a properly shit team that we should be putting away comfortably with 20% possession and only 1 shot on target.

52,000 zombies will then pile in to SD to buy the latest club strip.

Enjoy Rafa while he lasts - it's going to be much worse with some cockney Ashleycunt in charge next season.

Why does it matter if the next manager's from London?!

Because it'll be someone like Wise or another Pardew.

If it was Rob Lee or Les Ferdinand, I wouldn't mind.

We'll probably get Nile Ranger for maximum punishment factor.

Diving, feigning and flopping are so widespread and almost systematic that there needs to be a shift in thinking and laws.

 

At the moment contact is entitlement to do anything you want, and complete absolution. Like Salah here.

 

We can, and must have situations where there can be a foul by the defender AND an overreaction worthy of a suspension by the forward.

Been saying this for years.  The whole principle behind fouls needs to change and be clarified.

The current rule talks about even and fair competition for the ball.  Referees interpret this as any contact on an attacking player counts as a foul.

The basic principle behind any rule should be that players must only try and play the ball, not the man, and any attempts to deliberately impede or exaggerate contact are a foul.  For example, many attacking players now in the penalty area actively kick a leg out to catch the defender in order that they can dive and claim contact.  This usually works, especially for the 'big' clubs.  Under the new rules (supported by VAR to make this easier to spot) that behaviour is doubly wrong and should attract a card and a ban.

The concept of 'contact' has been taken to the 'n'th degree (especially by commentators) and needs rolling right back.  The focus now should be on playing the game.  Any clear attempts to do anything other than focus on the ball should be clamped down on harshly.

Enjoy Rafa while he lasts - it's going to be much worse with some cockney Ashleycunt in charge next season.

How anyone wouldn't want VAR is absolutely beyond me.  Video help and technology for refs is used at the highest level in almost every other ball sport and it has been wildly successful.

Add the fact that it would be an overwhelming positive thing for us, as we are always on the wrong end of bent decisions and the case for VAR is clear.

I bet the anti-VAR melts are the same ones who didn't want goal line technology bringing in...

30 points is probably going to be enough to stay up this season

 

Maybe not that low but I think 35 definitely will be enough. We have 17 now and 35 is max I can see us getting

 

It's f***ing vital we beat Cardiff,Huddersfield and Burnley at home

Win at home

Got it massively wrong today, and got it massively wrong against Fulham.

Still don't think we'd do any better than Rafa with the FCB in charge, and Rafa is still a likable manager unlike many others in the Division.

Kind of a moot point arguing about whether he could do any better here - he's definitely going to be gone before the start of next season, to be replaced with some ultracunt like Dennis Wise.

He's wank and needs moving on.  We'd be better off playing 4-5-0 than giving this cunt a game.

Hay guys, what's going on in this thread?

Shut it, you nonce.

Absolutely shocking, but nevertheless totally predictable decision.

The FA's script was that the sc*use cunts would get the win today, and they duly did.

Not that they needed the help - we were set up to lose - pre-lubed and pants down.

I dunno if anything matters with Dave gone but maybe let's all refrain from calling each other nonces?

Shut it, you nonce!

*edit* just noticed that I'm about the 90th person to do this to Moke...

f***ing c*** Benitez

Do us all a favour and f*** off will you?

Sick of the same people waiting for the bad result to slag him off, all because he’s not like KK and doesn’t go all out attack and they can’t realise football has moved on since then.

 

Why should we do that? We are entitled to our opinion. f***ing disgraceful lineup today. He’s part of the problem at times. s*** signings with the money he’s had.

 

And what money is that, you paedo b******?

 

So I’m a paedo because I’m critical of Benitez ?????

 

What a mong you are.

 

No, you’re a paedo because you diddle kids.

What the fuck is going on here? The club is so bad that it's making peoples' brain melt!

14 goals scored in 19 games man.....christ

 

Some great tight defending though which are like victories. Gotta love the beautiful game.

 

Put it into context Spurs have scored 11 in 2 games we've scored 14 in 19

 

f***s sake man

What do you expect? This is Mike Ashley's cheap knock-off version of the club. Until the FCB fucks off, there'll be nothing to enjoy at all. We're not going to get goals with frauds like Joselu and Kenedy man.

4-0. And no one got sent off. Everything was less shit than expected.

I knew there would be a bent pen involving that odious cunt Salah.

Feed the Scousers? Nah. Let the cunts starve.

Never a pen in a million years.

Unless it's the scouse tramps, in which case it's always a pen.

Inevitable pen for the scouse tramps.

Only a goal down at HT. Everything is going better than expected.

Firminho would look right at home in a shit team.

Sameobi scoring.

Very meh team, although I'm not sure there is much of an alternative available.

Kenedy/Diame/Joselu is AIDS, but it's not as though the ball is going to be up that end of the pitch much anyway

Prepare your anus, lads...

I miss peak championship gouff scoring thunderbastards

I miss peak Shola and Scott Parker. That's how bad things have gotten.

Unfortunately, its xmas - it's too late and we're too near to the relegation places to be able to afford to take any more of a risk on luxury players like him who aren't coming good.

How many more abysmal performances can we afford for him to put in before we decide the potential payoff isn't worth the risk.

He's already cost us valuable points this season - can we afford to keep backing him?

Still wincing when I think about this game. Like a school boy about to get an immunisation or when you stand on a bit of lego.

If we get a genuine 10/AM who actually wants the ball, I'd be happy.  That's all we need for a successful window.

Clearly spending £300m on 5-6 class players would be nice, but that's not going to happen. £15-20m on one decent player will do.
