Benitez had the chance to get rid of Mitrovic, Perez and Gayle ....but he bought Joselu to add to the group of inadequate strikers.

He only bought Joselu so he could hold him up as an example of 'this was all we could afford' and exonerate himself from any blame of them being shit.

And people still say he isn't a tactical genius.

I read somewhere 9 of the starting line up against Watford were Benitez signings. Can you confirm ?
I know you got beat 0 3 so this is obviously Mike Ashleys fault anyway.

9 were Benitez signings. But there's the problem, so many of you want the headlines, without any further context. I cannot for the life of me understand why.

... :lol:

I suppose whipping your keks off during the game is standard behaviour then?

Can't speak for them, but if you freinds genuinely believed we'd be top ten, no problem, I'd say your friends are daft and not representative of the expectations of the wider fanbase.

Arsenal have arsenal fan TV for to do that.

And that youtube channel is a source of great embarrassment for loads of Arsenal fans.

Because it's not an accurate representation of them as a whole.

Which is pretty obvious, isn't it?

He's averaging 10/1 for the next manager to be sacked in the top flight, I thought he's odds would have been very short.

Not a chance he will be sacked, not even the slightest.
It's all Ashleys fault that's he's wasted millions on Murphy, Joselu, Manquillo, Lejeune and Merino at a total outlay of approx 35 million.

"wasted" is a bit harsh for most of them, they've not even had half a season yet.
 
I get the feeling some people on this board genuinely believe Rafa wanted to buy the likes of Joselu and that he wasn’t totally hamstrung by the money Ashley was prepared to give him.

You said recently that he was performing miracles to have Newcastle 9th.

As they've now dropped to 15th, and 5 points from a relegation place, is he not doing as well now?

Well, I'm sure to take your judgement as gospel. After all, your decades as a football scout, the amount you've watched them, and of course your unquestionable objectivity when it comes to anything Newcastle United related...

:lol: ya daft Mackem.

I've said before Pardew worked under the same owner with the same financial restrictions. Where was his sympathy

Will just make the inevitable meltdown even funnier when it happens.

Little fishy probably has a 10 page word document prepared in rafas defence with a PowerPoint presentation showing bollocks stats to prove that it's all Ashley's fault :lol:

I have to say I find these threads strangely fascinating.

It would appear that the Mags who post on this form of social media believe they're more representative, of the Newcastle supporters, than those who post on their own Mag chat forums. They're meth-heads or idiots, apparently, and not to be taken seriously unlike those who seek out a Sunderland forum to post on ..... then they claim they believe it's unfair that people see them as deluded:lol:
