Excuse me for repeating a post from another thread but Rafa's fans don't seem keen to reply to it. Here again are questions that I and presumably others would like answers to. They are not rhetorical questions:

1 Why are Brighton and Huddersfield, which have spent no more than us and don't have more PL experienced players, doing better than NUFC with its 'world class manager?'

2 What has Joselu got that makes him the preferred choice most games to Gayle and Mitroovic?

3 Why, when Pardew and McClaren had runs no worse than this, was it all their fault but nothing is Rafa's fault.

4 Why was Pardew mocked for his excuses for losing games but people nod their heads in agreement when Rafa gives a reason for losing?
