    I demand to be entertained 100% of the time and Rafa hasn't delivered this therefore he is ****. He has spent some money and not every player he has bought is a world beater therefore he is ****. Sometimes teams have better players and beat us therefore he is ****. Rafa out.

    The food bank people raised £3000 last
    Night at a talk in.

    They were nearly £300 short of that figure until someone made up the difference.

    That someone was apparently a Spaniard.

    One called Rafa.

    I love how he just completely gets things... and us.

    Haven't felt this way about a manager since sir bobby (Houghton gets an honourable mention)
    After years of ****e like pardew, carver, tufty, we get someone whose 10x the manager and 10x the person.
    I'll now defend the 4-5-1 til my death

    I agree with this apart from the entertainment bit. I'll concede we won't be entertaining 100% off the time but I want to be entertained most of the time otherwise I might as well do something else with my time.

    Aside from that I do agree that people whinge too quickly

    But you'd prefer to lose every match 3-2 until relegation?
    I'm not saying you're wrong just genuinely curious where the line between victory and entertainment meets.

    I would love to be entertained first and if that means a relegation every now and then so be it. We have seen how much better it is in the Championship so why not.

    I see those as lucky years to be honest. I've enjoyed them both don't get me wrong, but wouldn't say long term falling in and out the prem can keep occurring. I'm thinking Bolton, Norwich, Hull. We can win the league, we could spend the next two to ten years in champ if we miss that straight return. I'm not missing that sinking fear.
    These days I can't think of many particularly entertaining teams outside the top 6, as subjective as that can be.

    Bolton's problem was that they overspent massively to stay in the PL. Don't think we're at too much risk of that right now.
