Rafa can't be arsed. Hope we get a decent young manager when he has his hissyfit and leaves. Overrated as ****.
One of the worst teams I have ever seen us put out there. we are not in a relegation fight. We are relegated with that squad. It really is that simple.
Ritchie, Gayle, Shelvey... It's a long list of our players that are good in the Championship and average at best in the Premier League. Unfortunately our entire team is average at best and always will be as long as Mike Ashley owns the club. The really big turn-off is that it doesn't even aspire to be anything else.
Well I lost my second stream with two minutes of injury time to go. I'm assuming we got beat though....
He spent to make a squad to get promoted, which it did. He intended to spend again to make a squad fit for the Premier League but MA has had other ideas. All blame for the past 10 years of nearly uninterrupted mediocrity belongs to MA.
There was very little quality on that pitch today, but any quality there was was wearing blue and white
**** tactics, crap players. 4-2-3-1 or nowt, slow and lethargic like last season. We're going to be better known as Newcastle Nil.
To be fair, after saying there was no quality in our team today, Merino did look like he has it. He's not the sort of player to turn a game on his own though. We need more quality to play alongside him.
I was never a Rafa fan, but the rest of ya got behind him, and fair enough he scraped the title with a squad that dhould have walked it. He's brought the club to it's knees by some terrible transfer dealings, then moaning in the press, which is as bad as a player moaning for a transfer. I'd much rather someone in charge who accepts his lot with Mike Ashley, the lot he has to work with, and doesn't create a terrible atmosphere before a ball is kicked.
