Mattoon Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Rafa's record last season against the top 6, he's too negative though ammirite!?! Fucking mental, isn't it? Weren't some 'pundits' claiming that Rafa's approach to these games only 'ends one way', too? Only team not in the top 6, in the top 6 there. Clearly Rafa doesn't know what he's doing and we should go toe to toe with the likes of Chelsea, better to lose 6-0 and feel like we gave it a shot than 1-0 win/loss or 0-0 and "give them too much respect". Idiots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_69 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The pricks on Soccer Saturday are about to discuss/humiliate Rafa in the next 5 mins if you want a pre game fume. Same shit, different day. It was just the usual I’ll-informed generalisation bullshit. No context whatsoever. I’m shocked quite frankly, Paul Merson is normally so insightful and accurate ?

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Do they talk about other managers in such derogatory terms? It seems more like a witch hunt. We played the same against City last season and they were all praising him by the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Not watching it but one of the comments was we probably wanted Chelsea to win because of the way we set up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Didn't see the game but does seem a bit weird we were so defensive against Chelsea considering how shaky they looked at the back against Arsenal, especially at home Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 As bad as this lot are, Steve McMahon was spectacularly stupid on the debate last night, he made the claim that Newcastle wouldn't be any better if Rafa was given £200m to spend, so why give him any money to spend? Then he repeated it a couple of times later in the conversation as if it's a great point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Didn't see the game but does seem a bit weird we were so defensive against Chelsea considering how shaky they looked at the back against Arsenal, especially at home I think it looked that way because our ball retention particularly in the second half was really poor. We seemed to turnover the ball almost as soon as we got it due to inaccurate hoofs so there was no chance to exploit their defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Not one of the spineless cunts even thought about posing the question of why there was a need to shut up shop. Not one comment at all bringing up the lack of investment and profit made since Rafa joined. Wish I'd not watched it now, even Stelling was taking the piss the utter twat.

ToonArmy1892 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 There is definatley a media agenda against Rafa, they aren't even being subtle about it. Going on like Benitez is the only manager to set up defensively against the top sides Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Will be interesting to see how many of the other 17 clubs have better scores against Spurs & Chelsea at home and City away than we have. I’m guessing maybe half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
