I feel sorry for Rafa. Looks like a man that’s absolutely had enough. The fact he’s trying to go about it without throwing his toys out of the pram says a great deal about his professionalism.

 

Wherever he goes, I’ll be following.

A good hiding tomorrow night wont help his mood and I still think if a good offer comes in for any of our players his squad will be weaker still.

No doubt the pundits will give him pelters for defending, you know like most teams in our position do  :rolleyes:

Winning the Championship and finishing 10th was just about forgivable, but not playing our best shit players at home to Watford in the FA Cup is unforgivable, just leave Rafa.

Rafa is God man. He can do no wrong. He's world class you know?

 

:lol:

 

Still waiting on who he thinks we should replace him with. Hasn't answered that question in 3 years, still posts the same shite, still hasn't been banned.

So, having the opinion Rafa is here now for his "keeping us up bonus" is a reason to be banned?

Do you agree last season v city was the most cowardly performance witnessed at SJP in a long long time if ever?

 

No? Didn't for a single moment to think you would.

And every team after that match bravely used the same tactics.

I'm not sure you quite understand the concept of questioning someone's opinion.

No, I think you should be banned for being the most blatant and relentless WUM this forum's ever had, you silly pillock. :lol:

 

Again you still haven't dared to offer an alternative suggestion to Rafa because as usual you're full of hot air and s***.

But really, who would you like to see replace him?

 

You need to rephrase your question. Who would you like to see replace Rafa? Well how about Pep, Klopp, Eddie Howe, or pretty much any modern forward thinking manager who is committed to entertaining attacking football. The question should be which manager would accept working for Ashley with all the same constraints as Rafa currently has nd would be better than him? That's harder to answer. Though if they are going to be paid the same salary as Rafa is reputed to be paid 6m a year there will be no shortage of volunteers.

Who did he leave out at the weekend that are regular starters? Dubravka, Perez and Rondon? 3 players, one a ‘keeper, one who has had to endure some stick from the stands recently and a striker we have on loan from a Championship club - the pair with a combined 8 league goals between them from 22 and 17 games respectively.

 

Would they have made such a huge difference had they started guaranteeing a win? If those in attendance rate them that highly and their importance to the team’s chances of beating Watford, just imagine how much more Rafa rates them and their importance to the team’s chances of beating... relegation!

 

We are not talking about some of the best player’s in the world here, we are talking about players who are only marginally better shite than the other shite the manager has to work with.

 

Shite that he’s been working with pretty much from day one, some faces might be different, but that’s about all.

 

It’s fanciful to look at the FA Cup as anything other than a waste of time under Ashley because even our strongest team whatever that is can’t compete with a weakened Watford team, not in any realistic sense when viewed in true context anyway.

 

And that truth is Watford can afford to make 11 changes and take or leave the FA Cup, higher up the ladder other clubs can afford to field their second string with players that cost more than our entire squad.

 

We can’t take it or leave it when it comes to the FA Cup, we don’t have the luxury of a large squad or any depth of quality to even take advantage of a team making 11 changes and with home advantage. We can’t afford to give the FA Cup our best shot or even a shot.

 

We only have survival to aim for and Rafa is effectively having to aim for that blindfolded with blanks as it is. Meanwhile others in the shoot-out have the equiverlent of automatic machine guns and hand grenades. The only automatic machine Rafa has is his club car, a Rover the club forgot to give back to sponsors in the 80s. Rafa’s doubled the mileage on it though and it still gets him to training and back despite runnng on two cylinders, worn break pads, budget tires, the AC blown and the radio unable to pick up BBC World Service. The boot is huge though since the rear seats were removed after they were no longer needed, not after the club gave free bus passes to members of staff for finishing tenth. More room for cones and pop up goals.

 

Anyway another early FA Cup exit seems to have angered a lot of people.

 

Me, I’m more angred by all those morons - all 36k of them - pointing the finger of blame at Rafa and the players as to why there would be no 5th round draw with our name in the hat and shucks there goes another chance of a trophy than anything else.

 

If only he picked our strongest team, kept Ritchie on... if only the manager and players would for once take the cups seriously.

 

The only people at the club that takes things seriously are the manager, his staff and the players because the owner certainly doesn’t and the fans aren’t taking what is happening seriously at all. If they did they wouldn’t need it spelled out for them because it’s fucking obvious. For the FA Cup read the Premier League, read transfers, wages, facilities, the training ground and stadium, read NEWCASTLE UNITED.

 

Don’t bother looking for where it reads Football Club, there is no such thing and anyone expecting to see it, you can’t be serious :lol:
