Who are these 6 or 7 teams? Is he counting up as high as wolves or is he counting Sheffield United as one? Absolute fucking arsehole. We could be in the bottom 3 before we even play our next game. I think he’s trying to get fired now. Then he can absolve himself of the shit job he’s done.

There’s something amiss with both of the brothers. Yeah we can use the situation to bitch about the club and Steve Bruce but to be honest, I wouldn’t pick them either, not on what they’ve both shown over last 2 seasons. The only one who looks like he belongs in that midfield is Hayden. The rest are a liability in one way or another. Matty scored a winner against Man Utd, he’ll always have that in terms of rapport with the fans, but honestly, whether he leaves or not doesn’t concern me in the slightest, or his brother.

The Bowyer thing is spot on. It was a dismal piece of summer business and just highlighted the beginning of the end for Robson through no fault of his own. I suspect Shepherd had told him it was a consolidation season. Spend fuck all and then pocket the CL money so we could try again the following year but then we never got there. Then within a few seasons Mike Ashley was here and we were fucking relegated. It does lead me to believe that financially things weren’t all that great, I know people will point to revenues back then but they must have been up to something to try and go on the cheap like that.

Never understood why when we were safe Rafa never brought Merino back for final few games. If I remember correctly he didn’t even bring him off the bench, think that’s what tipped Merino in favour of going back to Spain. Whilst I’d take Rafa back in a heartbeat in the current situation, he also had a few blind spots like most managers. When it comes to Rafa I'm happy to trust that he has his reasons. Was a shame it didn't work out with Merino, but a bigger shame it didn't work out with Rafa. I think it's always worth considering that Merino was affected by the uncertainty surrounding Rafa's future. This. Rafa wasn’t trying to stomp on Merino’s career, he was trying to protect him and do what was best for him (and for Rafa too obviously) The fact is, we couldn’t break up the Diame/Shelvey combo. They were too effective. He was homesick too. Rafa didn’t have much option but to allow him to leave. He’s not going to get everything right but if you’re gonna trust a manager, Rafa is the one.

100% he went there to bang the local talent. Next year he’s going to appear on Pornhub as “fake football manager”

Seriously, who gives a shit?

There’s no doubt in my mind she’s referring to us. I read that as, she’s reinforcing the reasons why they (PIF) want to buy the club, possibly hoping those involved read this and use it as a reminder to get things moving again.

Cross for Gayle's winner against West Brom. ? that just reinforces the point. His end product is good when he gets a chance

Two important contributions this season, there was that free kick to get us level and then the cross for Lascelles. We’d already be in the bottom 3 if it weren’t for him. You could argue that he’s had as much impact where it counts as ASM. Needs to start against Brighton

He’ll turn up at the training ground to offer them a bonus, but there won’t be a soul around. Left standing there to look at the cabbages all over the place while his jeans flap about in the wind.

He was far from our worst player tonight. He had the measure of Mings every time. An astute coach would have targeted that at half time.

Jammie gits!!

And there it is ?

Has Jones been giving any instructions?, can’t say I’ve seen him since the match started

He’s huffing and puffing a bit more tonight and his face looks more red. Think the pressure is getting to him finally.

The banter tonight is pure cringe. I’m pretty sure she also called our player “Bright Gayle”

The bint on BT commentary is doing my head in

He just has a complete lack of integrity. Others have had those traits too, you really need it to be a bullshit artist of being a crap football manager. Whatever his agent is on, it’s not enough

Being fit is no excuse for not being able to kick a football properly. Honestly amazes me the amount of excuses are put forward for this utter donkey. Oh I quite agree with you, I’m done with offering excuses for him but the fact is we’re stuck with him for the foreseeable. We should try and get the best from him until he can eventually be peddled for an “undisclosed fee”

However I do think he’s not fit enough either. That’s definitely a factor. He’s never going to be a great footballer but I don’t think we’re seeing the best “Joelinton” that he can be. Rafa would sort him out, all the extra training, he’d shed a few pounds and gain an extra step, we’re not talking massive gains here but something noticeable at least

His £80,000 per week should take the edge off a bit, you'd think. Not as easy as that. He was on his own for quite a while. Lockdown for most of it too. You can have all the money in the world but failing to adjust can have an adverse effect on performances in a game of such marginal gains. Mind, its not an excuse as to why he's absolutely s*** like. Just more evidence of the club being ran at the bare minimum. No he hasn’t, he’s got his lady living with him and a whole troop of pals hanging around his gaff. As per his Instagram.. He knows he’s not gonna succeed in this league, he doesn’t have the pace for it, or the mentality to use his strength to really give defenders a hard time. Sure he can do the odd nice touch on the ball but he’s a fucking Brazilian.. He’s earning more here than he ever did before, I reckon he’s just going through the motions and doing what I would do in that situation which is fuck about and have fun. He knows he’ll get another gig in Germany when this fiasco is done with

You’d think if we lose to Villa he’ll have to go. I don’t think the compensation figure was ever an issue, it’ll be about 2 million. The problem is, what was he 13th choice? All those candidates who said no before, they’re hardly going to step in now. The only ones who would take a job like that would be the same level as Bruce, a Sherwood or someone equally dismal. Nobody that could save us, so it’ll be Graeme Jones, and he’s already here..

I haven’t watched Barca in a year or two. When did Messi stop going past people with the ball?

Wow

About 2 weeks late to a story that they still get wrong. Italian football isn’t worth nearly as much as the exposure from the PL. Spanish football is even worse as far goes a closed shop and French football isn’t worth the hassle to compete with PSG. I think the Saudis would have gone for Man Utd if they’d been available and maybe they would have if they were still outside the top 4 but revenues will be good for them this season and next. We’re the only other option really. If they still want a club to compete in the PL we’re the best available option.
