I agree with your suggestion that we need quality so I wouldn't have minded if we'd bought fewer players and put the money, including whatever we got for Mitro, or the first instalment if that's how...

I agree with your suggestion that we need quality so I wouldn't have minded if we'd bought fewer players and put the money, including whatever we got for Mitro, or the first instalment if that's how...
I'm not saying that Rafa should be expected to get good results from cheap players. All I'm saying is do not write off players before you see them play. Here's an analogy. If you buy a cheap TV you...
Everyone is underwhelmed by transfer activity this window and most people expect another season battling relegation. But let's not write off the season before it starts. I won't write off our bargain...
Please give this up. It's boring and frankly pathetic. The only person you're showing up is yourself. If you've something to say about the football say it.
Apportionment is not only a financial term. Apportion is a verb whereas the correct word to use in this context is a noun, apportionment. You should brush up on your grammar before you criticise that...
Hi
Each will have his own opinion. I think that yesterday's starting XI was probably the best we have and I hope that, barring injuries, Rafa sticks to it except for Gayle, who's missing too many...

It must be very difficult for some people to understand that two people can agree with each other without them being the same person. I could equally make the same comment about people like you...
What's for certain is that if we're relegated it will all be Ashley's fault and if we stay up it will be because of Rafa's genius. Lucky man. The only manager not responsible in any way for his...
If people had read my posts carefully they would see that my consistent line is and always has been that Rafa should be judged according to results like all his predecessors and like every other...
Hi
I've been thinking about this subject and have come to the conclusion that all the people who say they support Rafa are in fact just one person. I have no proof of this, of course, but it suits...
Hi Sclox. This is Occult. You are not the first person to express the view that me, Ghostrider and Pboro are one and the same person. This seems to stem from the belief that there can't possibly be...
The heading of this thread seems to be a statement of the blindingly obvious but it's clearly not obvious to many of the people who post on this board. What it means is that the time for post mortems...
To say that we'd be bottom without Rafa as manager is speculation which cannot be proved or disproved because when you depart from reality and go into fantasy land anything is possible.
How about...
The mystery is why are Brighton over the course of the season, ignoring individual games, doing better than NUFC which most people say has a better manager? I have said repeatedly on this board that...
You make reasonable points but I'm sure that if we had played Arsenal today our approach wouldn't have differed from our approach to our game against you.
Over the course of the season Brighton...
A bad result for NUFC but you have to admire a Championship team playing in the PL that beats one of the big 6 and wins precious points. Brighton are now 5 points clear of us. Obviously they weren't...
I'm not arguing with the point that has been made ad nauseam that we haven't invested enough in players. What I'm saying that making this point is now pointless. It's like going to the doctor who...
I agree with this.
The majority opinion is that Rafa is brilliant because we only lost 0-2. Maybe next game we will lose 0-1 so he will be even more brilliant.
As I've said numerous times...
I think it must be demoralising for the team to be told in effect that we can't win and should pack the defence. It's also demoralising for the fans and awful to watch. Who dares wins. Who doesn't...
I agree that Ashley has under-invested in the squad for years and he is mainly responsible for where we are but blaming him might explain relegation but won't avoid it. We have to deal with the...
Are Brighton and Huddersfield Championship teams in the PL -or just Newcastle?
I agree there's too much moaning. Never used to be like this under Pardew, McClaren and Carver.
To be fair to Rafa, if we'd got a striker in earlier in the window I don't think, or at least I hope, he wouldn't have played Joselu last night.
I'd like to know who designated Joselu as our penalty taker -or maybe he volunteered.
Even if we get him will he ever get a game in preference to Rafa's star man Joselu?
