Rafa had his number

 

I fully expect that whoever takes over from Bruce will receive a call from Rafa offering them some of his insights.

Hopefully we’ve a new manager soon and he’s played his last game for us. 

We should make it the first question asked of prospective managers: “In your opinion, would you play Shelvey, bench him or sell him?”

 

I’m delighted the stupid cunt got sent off so stupidly today, in front of the new owners and the watching world. Makes it that much more likely he’ll not play for us again (in any meaningful way).

[huss9]

he's stopped his post-match beers.

fucking idiot probably though it was better to have a couple before the game instead.

[TheInfiniteOdyssey]

His attitude since the day he arrived has been utter shit

 

Shelvey has always stood out in our squads for being an unprofessional idiot who couldn't give a fuck, as well as being a worthless player.

 

At least the rest of them, even if they're largely shit, have more often than not, been willing triers.

He's played well for us in spells tbf, first half of the Championship season, latter half of 17/18. But that's it. He's not done well since then, in spite of scoring 6 goals in 19/20. Should've gone 2 years ago. The way he got those yellow cards is unforgivable, just like Hendrick v Southampton at home last season.

the amount of time and space he got on the ball, especially in the first half of the season was ridiculous.

He's clearly someone that you have to reign in and come down hard on constantly. Bruce just lets him do what he wants.

“We obviously played Leeds at St James’ Park about a month ago now, and that Rodrigo fella was in the middle.

 

He was meant to be playing centre midfield and he was just all over the place.

 

I said to him, ‘geez can you just stand still for one minute, because you’re just running around like a nutcase’.

 

 

I mean, I can understand the need to keep the team's structure in the middle of the park but Shelvey has taken it too literally by just standing or walking.

[Happinesstan]

I think we have a responsibility to help cut out his post match drinking, by never playing him again.

[ElDiablo]

Why does he bow his head as if he's straining to see when he's faced with any sort of defensive duty. Anyone else noticed that? Like "look I'm really concentrating, not my fault I won't get within 5 yards of this cunt"

He does this thing where he hunches his shoulders too.  Like he's trying to emulate what he thinks a good defender looks like.  He's yards off and he shuffles his feet and then the guy is past him.

[toontownman]

Within 5 mins of coming on he had stopped tracking back, well in fairness he was nonchalantly walking back just not running or even fucking jogging.

 

Both fouls were unnecessary. He will be better under and actual coach but everyone will be. He is an utter liability and a waste of potential. First out the door in January. Some poor set of fuckers will buy him.

[huss9]

his first one was just a bloody kick at the player.

[Guest reefatoon]

You knew exactly what he was going to do when he was sent off. Knew for a fact he was going to foul the player when he couldn't keep up with him. He's shite.

It was childish, the player wasn't in a dangerous position, he just didn't like getting showed up

 

He's an absolute moron, can't see anyone buying him so think it's a case of him running his contract down

To be fair to him he "took one for the team" as spurs would probably have scored!!

Yeah, I don't really blame him for the 2nd foul in isolation

 

It's the first one that was incredibly stupid

[NE27]

Thanks for the service Jonjo but I'd definitely say it's time to start moving on.

 

Always wondered if he's even happy here as he really is deadpan in any interview. Might just be his thing I suppose.

 

[Happinesstan]

Nobody is going to pay this bloke the wages he expects. Might get a game in the Sunday Leagues, if somebody has a hangover worse than his.

Using the term 'service' very loosely these days. 

 

Think that's just his general attitude, tbh. Ironically he's probably most happy when he's able to not give a shit like yesterday. You can guarantee it was water off a duck's arse while he got to chill in the changing room that little bit earlier than usual. 

[Beth]

Nobody is taking this donkey of our hands so we're paying him 80k a week till June 2023.......

I know. Just trying to shake my almost vitriolic hate for most things nufc that I had built up over the years.

 

Rather we just said cheers *insert name* for whatever you've contributed but no thanks.

 

New positive mindset will take a while to learn

but even the second one. it would have been 1-4 instead of 1-3. we were never gonna get anything out of the game. but he would have been avaialble for the crystal palace game. whether he would have deserved a starting place is another matter but at least he would have been an option.

Yeah fair and you're a better person than I.  Was just being facetious really.

 

A fair and adult stance to take rather than my 'fuck off already you useless tosser'.

[Shearergol]

I thought he was hilarious yesterday actually. The most Shelvey performance you could ever see. All that was missing was a direct freekick put either 90 foot over the bar or straight into the wall.

 

My mates who all support other clubs still all think he's a great player though
