Remember Rafa's championship team he's working with?

BUT,BUT,BUT how many players have we got in the Premiership who aren't playing Prem football and exactly the same in all other Prem clubs.

They are all carrying players who won't make it and perhaps never play in the Premiership.

John O´Shea is a Premiership quality player..........because he played in the Premier League.




What an utterly pointless thread.

Thank you. That's the point I was trying to get across.

Not pointless at all. Absolutely bang on.

the truth is
we havent progressed under rafa
he came he took us down

but for some really poor sides in the league this year
we would be where we were when he took over

in fact we might be a point or two better off

you are correct ghost
when we went down yes a few left
and ash backed rafa by bringing in premier players
not worldies but players who had experiance in the prem

and we crawled back up playing the most boring footy i have seen in many a ear
he came back up with players playing in a league they shouldnt have been in

now he cant get these players playing
got rid of carr
has full controll of all things football related
and he has brought in some gash

we havent moved forward under him at all

apart from a job saving 2-4 games he has been dire this season

worst premier manager we have had
and probabaly the worst fizzy manager we have had as well

houghton did a miles better job
the season he brought us up and last season with brighton pushing us all the way against a so callled world class manager and against a team who s budget houghton would have loved

i wouldnt give much money to rafa
what he has been given he has wasted in the majority of cases in the prem

bring back carr and a decent young ambitious manager

Make your fecking mind up....

YOUR WORDS!!!

we dont have one prem class player

most were awfull in the prem with us anyway
others were brought in for this league and have proven they are just about good enough for that

without Gayles early form we would be in dire straights

we will go up but need a huge overhaul if we want to keep rafa and stay up

You're a WUM of the highest order!

[ex_pat_magpie]

Pboro here's a challenge for you before you eat your words.

Just go back to when Rafa was appointed in Ashley's last relegation season and the for us all to see list the results of the games Rafa was in charge for prior to relegation. Then compare the points per game earned. Then compare that with relegation form.

No wriggling now I DARE YOU.

GO ON AND PROVE YOURSELF WRONG.

He just tells us that though and has quite a record in avoiding the truth. In fact he's quite a stranger to the truth.

[Geordie1974]

He's a compulsive liar.He couldn't tell the truth.
