thats a fecking dream at the moment mate. We all know it deep down, even the fat man knows it, thats why he is showing the "gestures" lately, trouble is, its too little too late. Infact its ****ing nothing! its all a PR stunt in the hope we pull off a miracle like last year. We dont have the quality, we dont believe his lies again, we are mostly resigned to the drop and there is not a manager on earth who can save us this time. The chuckle brothers can lick his ring piece but, like it or not, we are doomed and its all his fault. When we go down , any player with ambition will run and i cant blame them

We're playing catch up, no doubt, and being where we are brings its own problems and pressures but today actually gives me hope.

The not given penalty at 0-2 was massive, as was Muto’s header miss. Ritchie would have scored and that would have been the killer or Muto’s header going in of course. If Diame has scored that simple chance to make it 2-3 we would still have conceded a third. If onlys a feckn gain.

Ignore the pen. Because they should've had one as well. The header to make it 0-3 should have been buried. A ruthless striker would have put his head and his body through that.

They were running rings around us after 60 mins. Dubby kept us in it for 10 mins and then we crumbled.

When your owner has to take your team out for supper, you know its desperate. Spending 3 grand on a meal instead of 10,000 times that on the pitch sums our penny-pinching, fireplace-vomiting, deceptive, Sport-Direct-advertising, chance-taking, Joe-Kinnear-appointing, VAT-dodging, committee-summoned, lying, smirking, fat-belly-rubbing, clueless-about-football, Newcastle-shirt-desecrating, potty-mouth-Goal2-cameo, helicopter-imbalancing, takeover-blocking, accounts-manipulating, Sky-interview-crying, false-promise-making, Rafa-fooling, high-cholestorol, Rangers-loan-sharking CU'NT of an owner up.

Murphy £12m, Atsu £6.2m and Joselu £5m Total £23.2m

Difference £71.4 MILLION

How do you explain Burnley then..?

Pointing out the difference in the costs of the benches sounds like the arguments made whenever rich teams beat poor teams. It has more to do with how the club is run than money. They didn't beat us because their bench cost more. Manchester clubs invest in their football, whether the money is funded by stock market debt or extravagant Middle Eastern sheikhs. They cost more than anyone else's so everyone could say that.

Our club is dysfunctional. For 60 mins, theirs was more dysfunctional than ours. I don't care who they brought off the bench and how much they cost. The problem is that our club is so badly run that the players who came off the bench PLUS the players who didn't get substituted are worse than 18 other PL teams after 8 games; not just this game. Sure our fixture list was tough but we're losing winnable games that others are getting points from.

Money is just one part of it. Neither Rafa nor the team can say they're firing on all cylinders. The reasons why they aren't take more than a few plates of risotto and fillet steak to fix.

We couldn't spend £71m more on our bench. And that's not the reason they beat us. The problem is that we didn't spend what we should have on what we could have. If we did, our performance might have probably lasted the extra 20-30 mins to bring home the points. Even if it didn't we would have had more points than now.

Rafa lowered costs but didn't get the money that came from that. So our squad is so poor, it would struggle in the Chimpo now. If our owner did more than just attend games now that the horse has bolted, we'd have a better haul of points.

He's not in the stands enjoying the games or supporting the team or supporting Rafa. He's sitting up there like a schoolmaster surveying how his asset is performing; building a case to replace Rafa for not getting the best out of his meagre investment.

The man is a snake... He doesn't Newcastle want to fail or get relegated. But is patently unwilling to invest £1 more than he needs to in order to retain PL survival.

He is ****ting his pampas .. The thought of £100m spend to get back up is creasing him .. Hence the public appearances .. Pray to get relegated .. The only way to get rid of him
