Rafa will he stay ? or will he go ?
Ayatollah Hermione replied to trooper's topic in Newcastle Forum
With this tbh. I was at Blackburn away and they were a team that should have been dispatched fairly comfortably and we didn't manage it. There's a huge amount of middle ground between saying everyone wants 70s Brazil and recognising that there's been times this season where we just haven't been good enough and it's fine to get frustrated at that. You start ignoring the poorer aspects of our game for too long and you end up predicting that we won't get relegated when we're staring the barrel in the face. Having said that, the team did have a lot of new faces compared to a settled Brighton and Rafa's ability to get them gelling and playing quickly will reap dividends when he has to do it all again next season, considering that 70% of these players are blatantly not good enough to withstand the abilities of some Prem teams. All along for me, it's never been about Rafa and his ability, it's been about the fact that the players, as it stands, weren't all his first choice. I reckon Gayle, Ritchie, Hayden, Gamez and Clark were up there (with Sels being a Graham Carr special). Atsu came in late but has been a canny signing and Lazarr might as well not be here. The Premier League means we'll hopefully see us being able to attract the signings he wants but if there's a similar case, I only seeing us getting more attritional, lend more heavily on organisation and set plays to break teams down because we'll have to if we want to stay up. I'm not looking forward to this all starting again when people are expecting us to Keegan the Prem once more. I think a lot of this frustration comes from the idea that Ashley will do something ridiculous if we don't finish top. It's not coincidence that the upswell of good feeling started to ripple away when that useless cunt started shoving his chip shovels into everything again. Think I lost my point halfway through since I'm on my phone but there are some valid complaints about the way we've played this season IMO. I think we've always been set up well enough but a lot of these players are one-dimensional, slow and in some cases, thick as pig shit -
Will be good to see our lot throwing the "Enjoy Burton Away!!" Crack back at them. They won't though because they're shit and they'll get beat

Speaking of Pele, that goal record needs a proper going over, mind. There's a list of all of them in his autobiography and I'm sure he includes a goal that he scored past his bairn in the garden

Making a mistake by getting promoted, in that case. If Leeds don't come up, the nearest away game will be Everton. We'll have to be a one team crusade against Waitrose -

Review is back tonight for us lads who know their comedy. Third and final season following two of the finest sitcom seasons of the decade. I can also recommend The Good Place for a fairly lightweight 20 minute comedy fix. From the creator of Parks and Rec and has an overarching story across it's 13 episodes that separates it from the usual other NBC caper.

I'm not sure we've done anything as self-destructive and dangerous as appointing a child to the head of the country. They've always got to one up everyone, haven't they?

I see the price of food is creeping up. Somewhere in Boldon, someone is having a full meltdown in LIDL because super noodles are 80p now.

Newcastle United v Fulham 11/03/2017
Ayatollah Hermione replied to The Fish's topic in Newcastle Forum
Diame getting cheered when taken off might be the most cringeworthy thing I've seen our support en masse do for years. There's a definite feeling in that ground that we should be walking this league and ripping everyone to bits because we have Rafa and the cry-arsing begins as soon as things go south. People think we're so far above the rest of the league when the ability that the squad has shown throughout the season should tip them off that, outside of about 5 players and a top manager, we really aren't. -

Based on what? The 11 match unbeaten run? -

As far as British films go, I love Tyrannosaur. Bit grim, like. As all of the best British films are. -

Did Hughton not go 16 unbeaten or something like that? -

One thing about Murphy vs. Mitrovic is that Murphy looks some degree quicker than Mitro as well and he's about 12 years older than him. -
Yes, this was my first thought after getting 6 points from our closest rivals too
