I always thought he sounded like the Hooded Claw from the Penelope Pitstop cartoon

Incredible to think how Ashley’s mind works. A genuine world class manager landed in his lap. Not only that but he’s perfect in terms of being able to work within a tight budget whilst still taking the club forward with a bit of backing. Silverware without having to spend much wasn’t even out of the question. So, what does he owner do? Instead of working with someone who could’ve provided long term stability he just views Rafa as someone who’s allowed him to spend nowt until his contract runs out. He’ll probably let Nigel Pearson spend £60m in January 2020 as well.

Perez off, Joselu on is perhaps the clearest thing to prove our transfer policy doesn’t work.

I'm getting the feeling that relying on loan signings and cheap tat isn't the best way to compete in the league

Half mannequin, half armadillo, 100% Manquillo.

Overall we weren’t terrible but our quality was so bad in the final third that we were never winning that game. The quality simply isn’t there to even play to their limited potential every week. West Ham weren’t great and were there for the taking had we had anyone capable of scoring.

Fuck off with your commonsensical comments

Quite possible given the wedge he gave that pair of clown shoes McClaren to spend

I guess it’s not even worth saying anymore but it really is time Ashley just fucked off. You can see Benitez is really trying his best with how he sets the team up, and his instructions. You can often see how they are meant to play but there’s nothing he can do about this extreme lack of quality in the squad. We very often have moves break down simply because of a wayward pass, and nearly every game defenders making bizarre decisions, attackers fluffing chance after chance etc. some games the players can pull it together and execute the plan, other days they just show their lack of talent. Dreadful by the team today. Personally thought Diame was tragic nearly every time he won the ball back well he would almost immediately lose it, it’s not even worth discussing the games Perez and Manquillo had. I’m just tired of watching players like Manquillo, Perez and Diame (I know he’s had a run of ok performances but by and large he’s a poor player) they are shit, we’ve known for years they are shit, Rafa knows they’re shit and yet we are still seeing the fuckers play every week because this fat, ugly, parasite that owns NUFC won’t let us bring anyone in.

Sorry lads

This game went when we took Ritchie off, I can't get my head around that decision.

Also starting to get a bit pissed off with our shots from free kicks. Laurent Robert-esque they certainly ain't.

He's been very average other than one game it has to be said.

Imagine if Perez was good

Offside or not that was piss poor from Perez. I hope not to see him again after January.

Corbyn's invisible man act is indefensible at this point tbh. The run-up to the last election showed that, when he pulls his finger out, he can mobilise large groups, especially young people, into voting and bringing about a manifesto that reaches out enough to connect with people. So what does he do? Retreats into hiding and settles for tiny victories on a load of TV and radio that nobody watches or listens to and watches his party slip back to where they were 2 years ago. If he only wants to lead at General Election time, what's the fucking point? Give it to Thornberry til end of t'season.

I'd say this is primarily because of Labour's fucking stupid Brexit stance. It's not going to win over anyone who actually voted Brexit because they can see that 90% of the party membership are pro remain. And honestly, Labour are just talking absolute shite on Brexit anyway.

Turns out we’ve been doing Brexit wrong all along.

I’d call him a jug-eared cunt, but that would be disrespectful … … to cunts.

Oh aye, don’t get me wryng- I’d be all öwer it lyke a dög eatyng chyps.

As I posted in the Politics thread, they’re five points down. Corbyn looks like he doesn’t want to do anything unless there’s a GE coming up. At any other time he’s entirely useless.

Shelvey is no where near a good enough runner or dribbler to do anything of use in Perezs position. I know Perez isn't brilliant but Shelvey is at his best picking up the ball from deep and launching attacks when he has the space to do so, he'd be terrible in the tighter confines of a 10.

Yeah. So stopped in 2020 like I said

Pork Bjork. That rhymes. I have nothing else to add

awesome.. the wife got me one similar to this below for my 40th, and it’s got my favourite game Phoenix on it

Not to worry - the Jos is waiting in the wings

Manquillo's pass there......
