    Twitter is full of them (thankfully this forum is not).

    They ignore the 9 wins in a row, top of the league, Rafa in charge, QF of the cup stats thus far and after a couple of defeats they are out in full beel mode blaming players, Rafa, Ref, Fans etc......

    They must literally sit there behind the keyboard praying for some negativity to pounce on.

    Appreciate some people are never happy in life... but **** me... if I was continually as miserable as a few in cyberspace seem to be then I'd honestly question why I'm supporting a club which makes me feel that way and go follow another sport.

    If I was with a lass who didn't put out or give heed then I wouldn't piss around continually moaning about not getting a gobble... I'd do something about it and **** off somewhere else to hide my sausage.

    Rant over.

    yeah have to agree, I don't know what some of these tools want because there is simply no satisfying people like that. I personally think they are never happier than when we are failing so that they can drone on.

    I do think that losing against Blackburn now does seem a little naive by Rafa by resting those players he was taking a big gamble and unfortunately for him and us it hasn't paid off. Of course it's not the end of the world and I have no illusions that we would have progressed at the semi final stage and neither will Hull who were truly awful!

    I think there are some positives to take thought Shelvey controlled things pretty well in the middle aided by some protection from Hayden. The defence was really solid and didn't really ever look in danger, which makes the equaliser even more frustrating. Diame, Gouff and Ritchie were well below par, especially Diame he is very strong and certainly a specimen but has no end product. I like Ritchie but he was poor on the day and Gouff tries hard but I do think he has maybe found his level in the championship.

    I think Rafa did make a mistake with Sels, the defence have no confidence in him at all and he does not have the ability to claim a ball by catching it he simply tries to punch everything and certainly not in a confident assured manner.

    Also think Gayle was really poor fluffing his lines on numerous occasions.

    I do think there is a spine that can compete in the premier league but additions will need to be made in the form of an attacking midfielder and a prolific top class forward if we are promoted.

    I hope I am wrong but think we might be in line for a poor run of results in the short term but that was bound to happen at some stage.

    Rafa OUT!!!

    Losing at home to Blackburn is bad enough, but to then to go out to ten-man Hull City in the Cup is simply unforgiveable.

    Sack the BOARD!!!

    We shouldn't even be in this Mickey-Mouse division, we should be challenging for the Premier League Title like back in the 90's under Keegan the Messiah!

    Deeeeeellluuuuuuuuded!!!!

    Same, absolute divs. Its pretty enjoyable at tho mo all in all and its interesting should we go up to see what happens in the summer. getting relegated was definitely the best thing that could have happened in the end.

    I thought your recent posts have been fairly positive. I've come to realise you're not someone who's negative for the the sake of it.

    Did you dare to imply that Trev might be a corrupt cheat?

    Rafa should be sacked. It's that simple. I'm sick of winning nearly every game and this mini meltdown break was more than welcome.

    Most teams will have a little 'blip' at some point. Lets just hope this last few weeks has been ours.
