huss9 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 It'd be just our luck for his helicopter to crash :/ fuckin hell well thats how much we've been damaged over the years. I know - it breeds pessimism the way we've been treated. I've been worrying about the heart attack risk too - he works so hard and is still carrying weight. fucking hell, man. you really need help!!!!!

Jaehyun Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Imagine what might have been had we appointed someone of this man's calibre back in 2010 Should've went for him after the end of 2012/13. IMO. Someone capable for 2004/5 instead of Souness surely, when all the rot started for the very first time. Agreed. It wouldn't have been Rafa though, he was at Liverpool when the club handled the Sir Bobby situation very badly. Exactly, we took Sir Bobby for granted and it took the board 10+ years, two ownerships and multiple recruitment policies to realise he was never replaced properly. =( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 That would be verging on small time. Rafa's said it once, doesn't need to be mentioned again or made a big deal of. Aye, hammering it home implies that it needs to be said, when it really shouldn't need to be. This. A banner saying we're not a stepping stone club immediately confirms our status as stepping stone club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say us buying players is a feel good factor contributing to us all feeling better along with having Rafa, but it's not that imo. What you just put there, Rafa. A man who has changed our entire outlook, fans demeanour and hopefulness. I honestly don't how we managed to get through Pardew's reign without losing football forever. It seemed it would never end and we were all wrong about hiim, unjust to him etc. A league down and never been happier in a decade, mad it might seem but that just how others always see us anyway.

Think it's best for the kids not to see us get decimated by the likes of Pogba and Ibra at the moment. Who knows whether Rafa would have been given the freedom as what he is doing now if we had stayed up. For now, he has the chance to rebuild the team, the squad, the club so that when we do return to the Premier League, we won't be as s*** as we were previously. Glad we got Rafa and relegation than being tonked week in and week out. Refer to the mackems for that experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was 6 years old when I was starting to understand what being a football fan was. I started begging my Dad to take me to a game for about a year, I reckon, until he finally did in November '98. If I had a young lad of the same age, who was the same as me back then - I'd have been horribly torn for the last few years. I would this season, no problem.
