Howay

Aye the bloke is an out and out arsehole. Allegedly said “the Llorente sub really went well for you” to Poch before he went mental, which tbh I can see being the case as I can’t see Poch reacting to that extent to just the decisions. Followed that up the following week by doing that pathetic hiding the match ball from Aguero after Aguero had equaled Shearers hat trick record. He’s always got to be centre stage, total fucking arsehole.

Tbf his deliveries were appalling. That finish was phenomenal mind. I like that Ritchie does keep grafting though, even when he’s clearly off on the day and some would switch off a bit or show frustration.

This is why they need to stop giving these pitch invading arseholes any coverage btw. Two dickheads trying to run on after we scored, no doubt egged on by all the coverage of the fat brummy, and the bellend Arsenal fan.

Absolutely mental that btw, what is Deans possible reasoning? Does he think Mepham intended to score an own goal? Otherwise it’s about as clear a back pass as you’ll ever see

I always said Ritchie should stay on the pitch

Yet another foul by Lerma, that is surely accumulation of fouls now man.

Ritchie is having a fucking stinker

Diame also following the ball like a moth to a flame, if he went back to the area the runner from midfield came in King wouldn’t have got onto that. Sloppy from Fernandez to turn it over as well

Fuck sake.

The commentators showing a good understanding of football, ref points to the halfway line “the ref has given the goal!” Now yelling there was no foul, there were maybe 3 in there.

Get Ritchie and Diame off tbh.

The rubbish on the pitch man it’s like playing at the stadium of shite.

Another shot by a bloke that shouldn’t be on the pitch. Borderline yellow/red followed closely by a clear yellow card challenge in the first half. You know Refs are crap when this utter cunt of a bloke is seen as the best in England.

Ritchie’s delivery has been absolutely shocking so far. I’d like to see Ritchie come off, when he come off last week Almiron seemed to get on the ball a lot more which is a positive.

Big Dean missing a clear penalty for a slight pull on Rondon in the box (if being consistent). Followed up by completely ignoring another clear foul outside the area.

It’s also always annoyed me when they give pens for “fouls” on players that have no chance whatsoever of ever getting a chance on the ball, violent conduct aside. It just seems incredibly harsh to me. The worst I’ve seen was the on given against Coloccini or Williamson against Sunderland for a pull on a shirt, the ball was about 20 meters above everyone’s head as it sailed right out.

Really harsh, you could give that on every free kick or corner. He also had no chance whatsoever of getting that ball

Agreed he stitched Ibe right up tbh, as he kept within Ibes reach the whole way, which gave Ibe the impression he’d catch him so he held off until he clocked on he wasn’t getting to him

For that entire run I knew that cunt was going to foul Almiron. Fucking quality free kick and well deserved after that bellend cynically fouled Almiron, cheers for waiting until we were within shooting range stupid cunt, if you’re going to do that do it near the halfway line he was never catching Almiron ffs.

Think that was a red really. Over the ball and studs up. We’ve started canny enough tbh

Aye, anyone that ever expects any different from fat boy is always going to be disappointed sadly. He’s proven time and time again that he simply never learns from his mistakes, if he give Benitez a moderate budget, let him spend it as he wants, and doesn’t interfere, Rafa would keep the club in the PL. Instead he’s going to gamble it all again on whatever bellend manager dickhead Zahavi or whoever chooses and it’ll inevitably end in relegation so Ashley can lump another £30m on his “loan” to NUFC (which is never going down despite how many years in the PL we have nor how much profit we make in transfers). Rinse and repeat until the wanksplat either keels over or sells up.

Why don’t they just give the bloke a fucking budget, however many or few players that gets him is up to him, and he gets a percentage of money from player sales to re-invest and bolster his set budget. I honestly think that is all Rafa would want, he’s not a bloke who needs a fortune but he needs to be given a clear and honest budget that he controls. Instead this bunch of morons will offer a chance of signing one ‘marquee’ signing and expect that’s enough, they’ll then act like they’ve been fucked over when he turns the offer down.

The best people, wonder if they ended the night with spewing into a fireplace.

Least goals conceded outside the top 7, so it is an accurate assessment imo. You can point criticism at the side but we don’t concede much.

He’s a good focus of the attack, what I’ve noticed recently and was very clear in the Everton game is he likes to get goal side of his man and back into them halting their run before accelerating onto the ball. I know he’s ‘only’ had 8 goals but he has struggled for fitness for a lot of the season and we’re a side that generally doesn’t score many, the ones he has scored have generally won us points since we are so solid at the back. I agree the front 3 of Rondon with Perez and Almiron playing off him has potential. It’ll all disappear at the end of the season when bitch tits messes Benitez about further then penny pinches WBA so we end with no Rafa and no Rondon.
