    Now if I know that then you can be sure Rafa does. Mitro no one knows what goes on behind the scenes with this guy. I’m not a fan of Joselu but he does out a shift in even though he’s not too clever.He won the most aerial duels against Arsenal and with a bit of luck we could have nicked a draw.

    For all the Rafa haters who would take the job for a start Pullis???
    whowould have thought rafa would have taken the job???

    he is a mercenary

    he held a gun to ashlys head
    he knew the squad he had

    im not saying we should be top half with this team
    we shouldnt
    we should be in my eyes higher than we are know

    but what we should be is playing like a team with a way of playing

    we arent doing either

    we are going backwards

    im sure the sale of the club is unsettling the players and most would think why battle im out of here in january

    i would also suggest the way he is treating some players would have an effect on team moral

    if i could see some kind of progression under rafa i would support him

    but we arent

    we are seeing a pub type manager
    putting a different 11 every week out

    we arent building anything
    he is putting round pegs in square wholes

    Comparing Rafa Benitez who has won:



    To a pub manager. . . Genuinely the mind boggles.

    look in 1980 to 1989 i won over 85 cups and medals for footy and kick boxing

    i have managed some great sunday sides and saturday teams

    it doesnt mean i could cut it now

    even fergie was loosing it

    peopel are living on rafas past

    which is great when you can walk into a team that is already winning trophies and add a few and make an impression

    but we are different ,he is in a different situation

    i judge him on what he has done for us as that is relevant

    what he done in the past or how he achieved it is irrelevant

    it is easy to hoy someones past up and say there you go
    my missus was a glamour model
    her tits stuck out with no help

    she would need help nowadays

    she is past it in that prfession

    so is rafa

    His latest non-Newcastle trophy was in less than 5 years ago in 2014 (and there was 2 in that year), the one before that was 2013. That doesn't make him past it: the club he came into was Napoli who hadn't won trophies in years, he then won trophies there and they haven't won since he left.

    You and your missus may be past it in your respective careers but i don't think Rafa is is in his.

    He is making pub manager decisions
    he doesnt have a clue who his best 11 is
    if pardew or carver sent the teams out he is they would get crucified
    taking elliott out was a massive mistake
    dropping gayle after he was on a scoring streak
    what manager would ever do that

    and rplace him with joselwho and perez

    why play mbemba at left back
    why pick diame over mbebmain te middle

    he is playing like a desperat manager
    we have no shape

    we dont even have a soloid spine

    the playesr look lost

    they dont know what formation they are playing from game to the next

    look at brighton burnley huddersfield watford and all the top teams

    they have a way to play and so the lads feel confident they play that way most weeks
    even when they have injuries

    we dont

    i dont think we have played the same team or the same formation 2 games on the trot in the last 7-8 games

    pub manager type selections

    and you can keep telling me when he won trophies

    it doesnt impress me

    we won the fizzy and it was the most boring footy i have seen in the last 10-12 years

    and again he did it with teams already winning not his teams not his buys

    he was sacked for madrid

    he couldnt get a tune out of probabaly some of the best players in the world in a two horse race

    thats his recent history
    and his current aint any better worse than carver

    I have browsed since stopping posting as:

    It was dead, idiotic posts from a certain poster and the fact that big contributors such as zoggs and a few others stopped posting.

    In fact the lad who posts the idiotic posts, not even about football most of them they go deep into race, politics you name it.

    Yet you had boxerticks who got banned for being up front, yet this numpty gets kept on to drive people away.


    I apologise for posting if it was aimed at me that way. Jeez
    Nah Andrew, it wasn’t aimed at you fella.

    im sure there is a pantomime that could do with a few of these drama queens we seem to have been burdened with

    i would think with our piss poor performances and possible take over these browsers may want to start a thread of their own

    instaed of being put of by who ever it is

    if they were like me they would just ignore said posters and start threads regard league position etc

    even try a thread on christmas parties

    but dont flounce in the wings


    maybe explain the ignore button to them

    I had hit the ignore button on you, unfortunately when browsing and not signed in ... Your posts still show ...

    To be honest, i have nothing against you posting about the club or whatever football based .. albeit it may be negative at times i understand that there are few that are like that

    Its just in the past with the terrorist attacks, race and politics .. No need to be sucked into them topics on a football board.

    I understand i shouldn't be going on old ground but didn't want you thinking i was sick of you for your football posts.

    If you had of read my first post on here there area few things i mentioned that, seem to be on the same side you are on regarding rafa ( god help me )

    There's having an up front persona, but there's being a complete dick .. Both are different mate
