Difference is we move on, Sland fans are like a stuck record as you've only got relegation fights to look forward to, your new manager even reminded you of it a couple of weeks into the job, after your messiah Allardyce had shafted you. In typical Sland fashion getting one over on 'the mags' is the be all and end all. Allardyce must have known he had the Engerland job but hedged his bets and fecked any transfers you may have had at the same time! When we did the 5 in a row we didn't even know we'd done it, but when you did it was as if you'd won the Champions League.

.. That sounds very bitter KB .. Are you forgetting that you smashed your town up when you lost one of those derbys you don't care about .. Moved on! Moved down more like. Where was Rafa when he was needed most. He took you down bonny lad..

So what do expect to hear from us then? Rafa is sh*t? We dont want him because he 'took' us down?

You'd give anything to have him as your manager (even if you won't admit it on here) and you also know that he would never agree to manage Sunlun eventhough you're in the PL.

Always in your shadow?

Aye.

.. what! .. No way man. He would never have saved us from relegation either. He may get you promoted but he doesn't have a chance of major success at a club like Newcastle .. It will only end in tears ..

Naah not bitter I just find it funny when sland fans want to get one over on NUFC more than anything else. I never did any smashing upbof anything, a huge group of mainly young lads and early 20s did the damage most of which hadn't been at the match and that feckwit who hit the horse. From what I remember I was in the Strawberry afterwards and didn't find out about it till I got home. In fact I went on the sland footymad site and actually said you deserved to win.
I'm really happy with Rafa thanks. He has integrity, passion and has massive respect from the players. Just ask the people of Merseyside what they think of him.

.. I agree Rafa looks to have integrity and probably does have passion for your club and that he has massive respect from the people of Merseyside. I just don't get this over-hype about a guy who took you down .. I also think your not a big enough club for him to have a chance of success at. He's one of those big spenders and, should you get straight back up, you are not going to be able to attract the type of player that he needs to be successful ..

.. Glad to hear you did not take part in smashing up your town or punching horses ..

im sure you were one of those chanting the name of your rapist player

you have a manager already talking of relegation so surely geting us up is success

if you see your clubs success as staying up so be it

would your club be able to attract someone of rafas stature in the first place ??probably not

Totally agree. And we hopefully will see the contrasting results at the end of this season.

To be fair, years of poor investment choices and a string of bad management appointments took us down. Rafa had very little chance of turning that around and saving us. We are excited about him because it's clear we finally have a manager who is not just a yes man willing to toe Ashley's line, someone who is determined to rebuild the club from the grassroots up with a more positive vision. Years of Ashley's buy low, sell high mentality and duffers like McClaren, Pardew etc have worn us down, so surely you can forgive us some excitement and hype at finally having a proper manager who is passionate and intelligent at the helm!

Nobody is expecting us to win the Premier League or even a cup any time soon, we're just happy to have a fighting chance of witnessing some decent football under Rafa!
