Describing Rafa as a mercenary but not Bruce (who walked out of his last club for more coin)?
Not bitter, no.

Wasting your time mate,Rafas contract was up as well when he left.He honoured it.Bruce walked out on his for more money but he is fine.You work it out.
Put him on ignore you will enjoy the board more.

You've obviously forgot the West Ham and Bournemouth games then, or was they some of the ones you didn't bother watching because of the horrible football we played? Yeah we only won both by a goal and could of thrown them away but both games we completely dominated and had we had a finishing front line we could of put 5-6 goals away in both. To be honest I've not really seen anyone say they actually enjoy the football we often play. My Mrs walked in from Christmas shopping a couple of mins before Miggy scored on weekend and asked what was up. I replied this has been one of the worst games I've ever watched (from both teams though not just us). But what I do love is two mins later BANG goal, Miggys first, 1-0 and 3 points in the bag because that's football. A game where things can change in the blink of an eye and your emotions can shoot from negativity to positivity in an instant. Also answer me this how many teams team names included play this open attacking free flowing football that we dont? Not many because unless you spend and spend big you simply can't do it the league is unforgiving. So maybe you should start being happy with winning by any means possible. Who knows what we may start playing like once we've racked up adequate points for safety?

" we completely dominated" ??
We had 34% possession v Bournemouth , and 30% possession v Wet Spam ..

You clearly didn't watch them games then? Like many on here now you seem obsessed with possession but wasn't under Rafa? You do realise if a team does nothing when in possession they can still be completely dominated by a team with lesser possession who are actually doing something i.e creating chances in abundance like we did in them games. Sometimes the possession stat rises because a team are out of ideas other than just keeping the ball. This possession stuff is bo1locks unless you are a top top team who can really use it to there advantage imo.

Swansea used to have High possession stats when in the Prem. but a lot of it was in their own half.I remember beating them 2-0 at their place and they had 65 per cent possession.

Bit hypocritical to pull posters up when they give their opinions isnt it.Or are you the only one that can say what they want.Didnt take you long to change your tune to the tune of Ashley and Bruce did it.
