I tried to get on at the end of last season but they had a lock down on new posters had to give a work email etc. Absolutely pathetic. Can give it but not take it. Many on there are just so anti Newcastle/mag it beggars belief and on a regular basis there are 4/5 threads on us on the front page. You've got to admit some of it is cringe worthy?
i meant both against newcastele not when one was trying to manage thelikes of chelsea and liverpool ,clubs with players most decent managers could get results
head to head when against the toon rafa has never beaten sam
you say boring footy under sam
do you watch the toon
when was the last time you saw an entertaining game under rafa at the toon
i can only think of one
the last game of last season
and rafa made a ststement when he was buy ing top players for the fizzy
he saaid we wee buying them with one eye on the prem
and you forget he also had prem players and players that were brought for the prem
the 2 goalies
dummet lascelles shelvey colback mitro,perez etc etc
addd to that gayle who was a perem player and then the players he brought this season and if you look at the team he is playing at the moment all were or have been brought for the prem
out of all theplayers rafa has brought and those prem playesr he inherited
have any improved
nope
look at fat sam
he takes over a side on the down
afetr jusrt 2 games you can see an improvement in players
if they were brought for the fizzy or not ,and those he did buy for the fizzy either had prem experiance or were top fizzy players they should be getting better
look at brighton huddersfield burnley,bournemouth etc etc all fizzy layers
brighton and huddersfiled hadnt the luxury we had of having some pleyrs with ptrm experiance or a supposed world class manager .
but i would say they have adapted better than we have
I get the impression that no matter what Rafa does in your eyes he is sh1te. Even if we got say 12 points from the next 5 games you'd still hark back to the current run.
As for Allardyce, I would love this board to have been up and running when he was our manager because I bet you would have been the most vociferous about him getting the sack.
It seems you like the sly dodgy dealer type ie Ashley, Allardyce, Pardew? Id much rather have a man at the helm with honesty and integrity which is pretty sparse now in all walks of life especially at the top of certain professions.
Mourinho and Guardiola would struggle with reduced funds s neither have had to manage like that. Even at Porto Mourinho was at a big club and everywhere else its been money money money same with Guardiola. Mourinho gets slagged for his boring football even given his riches.
