Robster Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 what a morning after. Quite incredible how one football result can alter my mood in a morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmoset Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 What's a PFM btw? I get 'proper football manager' but who does it apply to? Saw someone describe Hasselbaink as one which confused me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Apparently In Rafa Benitez's 18 games with us so far, we haven't lost a single second half Not sure if correct, but it wouldn't surprise me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that sounds right as we were 3-0 at Southampton at half time, 1-0 down at Leicester, 1-0 down at Fulham, 1-0 down vs Huddersfield, 1-0 down vs the mackems, 1-0 down at Norwich and 2-0 down at Liverpool!

I've just checked and it's correct Decent stat that could end up being a silly amount of games if we can continue our good run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Wonder how that compares with Carver It'll be a close one but I think Rafa will have him licked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 From the podcast, that bit about not getting on players back, so logical really when you think about it. For anyone here that is a dad will know you don't encourage your kids by criticising them, you encourage them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I've seen comments from Sunderland fans about Rafa being poached Rafa joined us at the perfect time. The threat of him being poached is practically nil. He has been at most of the top leagues and top clubs and been messed about and interfered with. He now has total control here and can build up a club that has the potential to be right up there. Beautiful situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is literally a revolution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 The way we used to start the second half was criminal TBH. Like the team had undergone a group lobotomy at half time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 What happened at half time They watched the last 15 minutes of Requiem For A Dream. Hopefully Pardew's left his Requiem For A Dream DVD at home and the players will listen to some music or something at HT instead. The amount of goals we concede in the 5 mins either side of HT is ridiculous like. Swear to fucking God that Requiem For A Dream DVD must be nearly fucked the amount of times we've watched it at HT. That Requiem For A Dream DVD must be fucking battered by now, been given a half time airing in the dressing room every week for 4 years solid now. I'm still deeply unhappy about our policy of watching Requiem For A Dream at half time like, makes absolutely zero sense and I wish we wouldn't do it. Yep, again. Just the 5 times I made that joke then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Aside from watching us win a game; listening to that podcast was thirty of the most enjoyable minutes I've had as a Newcastle fan in absolutely ages. Benitez being here, and everything that comes in association with that, is just an incredible thing. The only thing that was going to save the club was appointing a manager of his calibre, and letting him pin everyone else to the ground. I didn't think it ever would, but it's happen. He's hooked into everything and he has a plan that is going to work. He's a step ahead of everyone. It's just wonderful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 There will still be people out there saying we should have kept Pardew. Annoys me how people feel the need to comment on things they know fuck all about. "Pardew wouldn't have took you down", neither would Rafa if he was given the time that lipless cockney twat was!
