That link title in the OP. They are right about not being able to win on the pitch.

10% - 90% :oops:

I think the "Barcelona of the North" tactics blueprint must be too complicated for Rafa. You're supposed to have the 90% you nugget.

The mags have a massive dilemma on their hands. Do they keep supporting the manager and his teams and tactics, that Tony Pulis would be ashamed of, or just suffer and hope for survival, but obviously not in silence. Thought they made more noise in Northumberland st. than at the ground yesterday.

Anything less than the title would be the worst finish in your history so I think that has to be par imo.



As am I so not sure how that holds any water at all tbf.

I’m just trying to indicate why he’d have nothing to gain by telling me that if it was untrue. I shouldn’t have bothered really.

Not really. It's not like we'd sack him for getting us promoted :lol: promotion will be seen as a success, no matter how it's achieved.

The mags look as though they're down. Unrest in the camp, poor football, fans are moaning about absolutely everything. I just can't see them recovering. They're all pulling in different directions.

way to early for that unfortunately ...and to be fair although Rafas tactics were awful, the players carried them out 100%. That doesnt sound like they are not playing for him. They could have quite easily taken 4 points from the last two games. It will be all about stopping up for them and they should be just good enough to do that. Chances are there will be 3 worse teams than them anyway as Cardiff , Huddersfield and Southampton already look very vulnerable

Bizarre tic tacs, this is ostensibly a better team that finished 10th and battered Chelski 3-0.........So not sure why you'd drop ya best defender for questioning your tic tacs, roll over and take one up the hoop at herm......Unless ya just a shoite manager

What's the point in losing faith with him. The inevitable return of Fat Sham or Pardew would be far worse.

Bsa got slated by you lot for playing defensively as it isn’t how Newcastle play, yet if Rafa does it hes a great manager. Make your f***ing minds up

Bsa would be doing better with your current squad imo, and wouldn't have had only 19% possession yesterday. Pardew would probably be doing just as well (or badly) as Rafa too imo

Huddersfield are better than the mags. It's close between them and Cardiff. Cardiff looked the better side last week. The mags were very lucky to escape with a point.

Promoted teams usually start ok then get found out.....like Huddersfield last season. Cardiff havnt even scored yet and have had on paper 3 fairly easy fixtures

You're probably correct, if we finished second or went up through play offs then i'd give Ross the benefit of the doubt but yes we really should be looking at winning the league.

If Rafa takes you down would you place any of the blame at his feet?
