Kanj Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Wall of noise at home. We're going to make SJP a nightmare for any team. Hopefully we'll get a home match versus a PL Team in the cup and level them as well. Would be something man. Love this manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 The bit about bringing someone in who can speak to players in their natural language is genius too. Didn't Pardew once say that the only language allowed is English only?! Rafa is definitely putting his vision into place, he sees us as his baby and it will be fantastic to see how things are in 5-10 years time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stal Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I know it's been said before on here but I don't care if I'm repeating the sentiment. I've been reading some of the recent Rafa pieces in the Chron and he just oozes class, common sense, competence and professionalism which garners my trust to the Nth degree. This guy has done more in a few short weeks to reignite this club than any of these so called managers/head coaches before him over the last few years. Still getting a warm fuzzy feeling when I think about him being our boss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Just imagining how the buzz in the Championship was last time when we were walking the league; I cant imagine the madness should we better that season and build some class momentum under Rafa.

Elma Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I'll bet our gym was just a room with loads of random heavy things in it. "Now lift that television fifteen times and then do three dead lifts with that half keg of Heineken. Remember to lift with your back lads!" A bit like a gym version of Funland, The Field, Craggy island? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Could we have appointed a better manager than Rafa? I doubt it. I can't praise him highly enough for what he's done so far, he's simply the perfect appointment for us in every way, he's going to be a legend.

Pilko Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 The stuff about the training ground reminds me of the Keegan quotes from his first stint as boss, when he talked about "smelling the bleach" and cleaning up the training ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 https://ssl.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03xwrlg/player?chromeless Mick lowes talking to Rafa He's so much in the mould of KK and BR. A totally different class from others. He absolutely recognises it's about the fans. This is the very thing. He doesn't have to try a prove himself to anyone really, he's not desperate, not prostituting his principles just to rub shoulders with the big boys or validate his own ego.

Darth Crooks Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Hope he's also going to get them to shotblast the outside of the stadium. Less time straightening SD signs and more scrubbing up the filthy mess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Surely the training ground currently has 3G pitches and he's just wanting to upgrade to the newest style pitch? I doubt they're playing on a worse surface than say, the soccerdome. The Soccerdome is aaful now like, and they bumped the prices up to £60-an-hour to hire it out Could be worse though, Wallsend Boyza just had a green carpet.

It feels like that time as well. I'd forgotten what it felt like to be a fan and not just someone taking the piss out of some floundering muppet trying to pass themselves off as a manager.

Ikon Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I'm extremely curious to see what kind of players we will go for, and for what positions. Good feelings all around. One thing i liked was when he said that he will go for players able to compete in the PL and not just this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
