Poor old Rafa 06:05 - Feb 2 with 3201 views | johnhoop | Most of the Grauniad's match report of last night's game is devoted to telling us how hard done by Benitez feels because he was only allowed to spend £45 million of the £75 million they raised from selling players last summer and how he felt he needed a few more expensive acquisitions to make automatic promotion a certainty. You'll have to excuse me if I'm not feeling overly sympathetic to his "plight". | | | | |
Poor old Rafa on 06:29 - Feb 2 with 3153 views | 2Thomas2Bowles | From the BBC Think stinking badges Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez: "We had a lot of chances but we didn't take our chances and we conceded with an own goal which is the worst thing that can happen. "We didn't take the chances that we had. We needed to score the third goal but we didn't do it. | |

Poor old Rafa on 06:54 - Feb 2 with 3095 views | davman | FFS they didn't even lose! Financial FAIR play shouldn't be linked to income in any way whatsoever. How can it be FAIR to allow 1 club to spend £100m and another 1000 times less than that because they get more people through the gate? It's even more flawed for teams coming down from the Prem as we well know, but that too is FUNDAMENTALLY flawed simply because of the cash discrepancy between that cash cow and football in 5 his country. You HAVE to pay stoopid fees and wages to compete, you've got to honour those contracts when you have placed them and then you have to offload players (whilst not losing too much) if you get relegated. The only way through this is to let these investors pay whatever they want to to any club, but finding a way to get them to pay in advance, with their own "investment" money to ensure that they will pay tater 5hat saddle a club up with debt Is the goal of FFP to protect little clubs from going bust, or big clubs from losing their right to the cash cow? I think we know the answer there.., | |

Anyone see the clips of home fans sat staring into space ten minutes after the game ended?? Anyone would think they were in a relegation scrap FFS. | | | |

The sodding commentators kept referring to "these people", and what they want, deserve, etc, as if they were some special race who'd been through some hardship and were a credit to themselves, rather than simply being a group of quiet Geordies with severe case of self entitlement. The media are a joke when it comes to Newcastle fans. All you could hear all game was Rangers. Even after they'd scored after 38 sodding seconds. | | | |

Poor old Rafa on 09:09 - Feb 2 with 2681 views | BrianMcCarthy | Don't know who posted on the Fred that the Geordies came across as a pathetic crowd, bawling and bitching and wanting every decision their way even after Shelvey escaped the red card. Whoever said it was dead right. They got outplayed last night, but they didn't lose and they're second in the table. And they booed their team off. They're a middling club. They should get used to it. | |

And 'these people' tried to get at our fans on leaving the ground (according to my mate). Sky probably turned the cameras off at that point. | | | | Login to get fewer ads
Poor old Rafa on 10:15 - Feb 2 with 2478 views | paulparker | The Geezer has spent 45 million in this league and still wants more seriously they should be 20 points clear by now , everywhere that fat ponce has been there has been an open chq book when Liverpool sussed him out for wasting the money on Aquillani , Babel & Keane he was lost and sulked , you watch him do one to the Chinese league in the not to distant when Newcastle get beat in the play off final | |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Give them to the Jocks when they get their independence, close enough for nobody to notice. Then they might win a trophy competing against Celtic, Rangers and Arbroath. Maybe not. | |

My dad always referred to them as Scotsmen with their brains kicked out. | |
