Hard to remember major occasions but used to frequently talk about how Rafa would fix things in game. We’d often improve in the second half. A random example that springs to mind was West Ham at home. Antonio was a winger then and was free all game in the first 30 mins or so right in front of where we were sat - Rafa was on the touchline waving his arms around and after than spell he never got in again. I still think he’s got unfinished business here despite loving Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Quote Isak has consistently been linked with other clubs, including Arsenal, Liverpool, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. “We have that ambition to be a top club, so there is a sense of annoyance because we’re almost seen as that next category down, so it’s free game to talk about our players.” What if those players express a desire to leave? “The reality is all of our players are under long-term deals,” he repeated. “They’re committed to the club. We’re not looking to move any player on.” My fucking chairman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted Thursday at 15:37 Share Posted Thursday at 15:37 (edited) Disappointing they couldn’t see the easy win this summer and stick on 5% next season.

HaydnNUFC Posted Thursday at 15:43 Share Posted Thursday at 15:43 15% increase in 3 years. Done with 5% each year with the "oooh we have to do this for PSR I'm afraid." Absolutely lifting, especially when West Ham and Liverpool have frozen theirs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
