Tooj Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Tremendous hearing his name being belted out at the end. Even better because the media hate the fact that we're united because of Rafa, even with our poor form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Perfect tactics tonight Yes, they were. Well apart from losing the game like. He should've played 442 like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better because the media hate the fact that we're united because of Rafa, even with our poor form. Aye absolutely love it, yet we hated Pardew for being shit and got had a go for wanting him out. We can't win like no matter what we do in the eyes of most tossers in the media.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Despite my criticism of how we played first 35, I’d trust him more than any manager to get the better of Pep with a similar playing field... this takeover has to happen.

stlouismag Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Remains pure class. We are lucky to have him, particularly given the crap he's had to deal with from above. I'm very hopeful (not drinking my, or anyone else's, piss hopeful, but still . . .) after the result tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlouismag Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Has Rafa said owt post match? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Post-match interview was typically classy. Battled well, didn't think Gayle's dive was remotely a pen, working with Lee and Mike to improve the squad, mum on the takeover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Don’t care what the cunts at Sky thought, he was pragmatic and set the team up the only way he could. Sky clearly wanted a massacre they could pour over for a few days, promote a bit of scandal regarding Rafa whilst wanking City off 24 hours a day on SSN. The only option tonight was to keep it as tight as possible for as long as possible. We did that and were still in the game in injury time. Every other team, Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal, Spurs et all have had a go at them and lost, normally by a few, we dug in and but for a better contact on Gayle’s forehead we’d have taken a point. The end would have justified the means. He got it right, with the resources available he’s done far better than Mourinho, Klopp, Wenger did. Proud of him, couldn’t give a fuck.

TRon Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Proud to say that the fans showed a lot more football intelligence than the commentators and pundits tonight. While the Sky 'experts' spent the whole programme slagging Rafa's approach, our fans seemed to understand a lot better that we gave ourselves a great chance to take something from this game despite the massive gap in quality between the sides.

Stottie Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I proper love the way Rafa gets wound up every time we concede a goal. As if it is a personal affront. Contrast it with the blank looks and wry smiles we've had off other cretins in our recent history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Again despite my criticism of the first 35 (which isn’t me slagging Rafa per we) there is not many I’d have pitch us against a team in a one off match, regardless or the opposition or how good or not we are. Give the man a team he can really put to work and the sky is the limit! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he would get wound up if we were conceding to good football moves, but usually it's just bad defending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, maturity of the crowd was pleasing. Only real tantrums I saw was with regards to some of the players application, certainly not the approach.

Wallsendmag Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 No complaints from me today. They are on a totally different level to us which is hardly surprising when you see what both teams have invested in their squads, yet they were happy to see the final whistle.

huss9 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 aye. decent line up, decent gameplan and decent and timely subs. well done. would rather this 0-1 than us going for it and getting drubbed 0-5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Tactically spot on tonight. The fact he had us competing with them with the squad we have is miraculous.

Alberto2005 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 What a prick that interviewer is and he's like that every single time with his poncy questions.
