I have always found Spurs fans incredibly annoying, which has placed them above Arsenal in the hate league. In fact it's only in recent years that Chelsea have overtaken them in that respect.

With that in mind I can't stomach the thought of Spurs winning the league, so by default I'm rooting for Leicester I guess.

I hope Benitez does keep Newcastle up though.

Oh, I'd obviously prefer Leicester to the league

Interesting. Is a residual affection for Benitez enough to colour opinion about the team he manages? I suppose that question is rather dictated by how much affection you have for Benitez, measured against how much you hate the team he manages.

For example, I wished him no success at all at Chelsea, while still being slightly annoyed at how their moronic fans treated him. And I wasn't averse to see him succeed at Real, despite my antipathy towards Ronaldo, their fans and the club in general, but that's largely because I hate Barcelona even more.

But Newcastle? I mean, they're annoying and amusing in equal deluded amounts, but they're largely an irrelevance. They've never been a genuine threat to us, or our goals for 20 years, and even when they were flirting with title challenges, we still beat them anyway.

Yeah, Ashley is a total twat.....but I dunno. It's difficult really. I still like Benitez and wouldn't want him to get relegated....but it's Newcastle and it would be funny.

But not as funny as Fat Sam going down instead. There. Mind made up.

I think I'm with you Josemi.
 
I have a bit of a soft spot for the Toon. I'll be tuning in tonight and hoping Rafa twats those Leicester upstarts. I'm not sure it will happen though. Maybe Jonjo can scythe down that racist cunt Vardy 🙂
 
Rafa love the club as much as we do, he is one of us fans and will be for the rest of his life. He isn't fake about his love and saying that he love us to please us fans. He is the real deal. No fake or plastic. Rafa will always be Rafa. He will fight his corner the honest way. Cheating isn't something for him.

He is like Klopp. A honest great manager.

So weird seeing Benitez on the touch line making notes about .....Newcastle

Picked a decent ish side, given his options.

Still incredible to think Leicester are top of the league
 
They have some awful footballers in that starting 11.
Janmaat and Perez have been horrible.

I'd have Wijnaldum before him myself. Captained PSV and he's a better player.

That's why rafa took the job, so he can get them relegated & then sell him to us.

I jest, obv, but should that happen I bet there's some daft cunts on rawk that peddle that shite.
 
I saw something about Rafa brokering the Shelvey to Newcastle move. I have no idea how the hell that's supposed to work.
 
Can anyone explain to me why Sissoko gets stuck on the wing all the time. He looks like the perfect box to box player to me. I couldn't for the life of me understand why Sissoko was on the wing and Wijnaldum in CM.

In addition, Townsend is so shit its unreal. And lazy, and shit.

Kante is so impressive.
