Really

Got to keep an eye on Stoke, West Ham & Southamptons games today

We need to be taking all 3 points at home to these

I know mate

He's on the bench

It's as good as you can hope for i may have tried Elliot

It doesn't really matter to us we're not spending or loaning

I just find it a very bizzare way to protect a club your trying to sell

I know your not defending Ashley but bloody hell it comes to something when the only deal we could potentially do is a swap deal.

He said last week " I've never felt fitter"

So we're not even talking loans now its got down to swapsie's

Rafa on budget: “We are playing with a list of names. So we will see how close we can go.” Rafa on injuries: "Gamez, Lejeune & Mitro are not available, but Mbemba & Elliot are available. Lascelles is also fit, which is important for us because he is our captain & our leader" Rafa asked if frustrated: “We will do our best until the last day.” Rafa on Jan 20 deadline: “I still have confidence what we do what we have to do. We are talking to agents and people who give us options. I concentrate on games" Rafa on self-imposed January 20th deadline: "Still I have confidence that we can do what we have to do. But I can only concentrate on the game & then hope it happens. If the team is doing well, it easier for everyone, including the owner, so if we can sign players we must" Rafa: "We are not talking about selling anyone who can make a difference to our teams. People are coming to us asking for players, but only on loan. It is only serious if we want to buy. We are not interested in loan, we would want money & replacements" Rafa on selling to relegation rivals (asked about Shelvey): "We do not want to sell players who are playing already. It would cost a lot of money to replace them in January, so we are not looking to sell them. We want to sign players as we are short in some areas" Rafa: "Carlos is a good manager with a good record against us, but hopefully we end that" Rafa: “We have to move players because we need positions in the squad. But we don’t have to sell to buy. If players go it will be because we have replacements.”

The thing is these amaturish stunts might well drive Stavely away

There's deffo a rabbit off with Mitrovic physio room saying he's still got his back injury & is a major doubt for tomorows game. Yet he said a few days ago he's fitter than ever.

According to physioroom.com there's a slight doubt as to wether Lascalles will play.

He's playing games again

No messing about we've got to be taking all 3 pts i think we'll just sneak a late win 1-0. Expect the crowd to get restless the longer it goes on without a goal.

If Ashley sells Mitrovic or Shelvey he'll offset the £11.4 million Rafa spent in the summer.

This just popped up on N.O. just insert Ashley instead of Lame arse You guys (the fans/supporters) don't understand how f***ing horrible we can be" Derek Llambias

I'm ok mate like i've said i'm prepared i just find it very bizzare that Ashley wont back Rafa.

Andrew over 10 years of Ashley come on mate we all know how this plays out.
