>Pellegrino used to work under Rafa as both a player and a coach
NARRATIVE

>trigger the obligation to buy
>bench him the very next game

>no davis
>no ward-prowse

Sad!

I want Newcastle to finish above Liverpool for the memes in the context of Rafa vs Klopp. But I don't want Liverpool to realise that they should bring him back to the club.

super sunday

>poocastle finishing out of the relegation zone

lmaoing

They're married to Jurgen "kult motivator Kloppo" Klopp, regardless of results

...

>huge club senpai

Once again all the CL teams play on the Saturday before a CL week. Is this an unofficial new policy?

not that new

fuck poocastle look really well organised

>tfw no gf

Give it time

time for comfy newcastle thread

It wasn't the case last season. It's been the case in all CL weeks so far this season. I think the PL is finally moving to help its CL teams a bit.

The state of forster man

HAYDENNNNNNNNNNNN

Tooooooooooon!

BASED HAYDEN

Hayden you fucking GOAT

Without cheating, name an English goalkeeper

Rafa suits smaller teams.

>liverpool
>small team

...

really like these reverse Ajax shirts Soton are wearing

Karl Darlow

Is it time for

at Saints?

>losing to tranny and tumblr

>Rafa
>suiting Liverpool

They were crap for years. He took a Houllier team and added some Spaniards initially then they just slowly turned to sludge.

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

so explain the title challenge in 08/09

Liverpool are a small team in the context of some of the clubs Rafa has managed.

why are newcastle wearing this blue shite instead of the sexy black and charcoal

inb4 triggered scousers reply with 5 TIMES LA

Probably something to do with the opposition side wearing black shorts, sweetie.

All this money and teams other than the top 6 are absolute dogshit and a chore to watch.

5 TIMES LA

>black and charcoal

5 times la

you mean other than city and spurs

>that free kick """routine"""
top kek

love when a 'clever' free kick routine goes totally wrong ngl

They never challenged that year. Man Utd pissed the league.

ok m8

Liverpool and watford are fun to watch.

>both of newcastle's full backs joined immediately after spending a year at sunderland
>the tyne-wear """"""derby"""""

>Sunderland are second from bottom and are playing like complete shit

That's an improvement on last year.. By one place

Could Rafa still get a job at a top club once he's done with Newcastle?

B-B-B-B-BUT 6 TIMES IN A ROW

Gabbiadini and long are a problem for soton.

They need someone in the hole and they are both standing on the 18 yard line getting marked out of the game.

No. Too negative.

Lol

Don't know if he'll get the opportunity again but he'd improve Arse instantly.

Chelsea when Conte sacked

Milan and Roma will gladly accept him.

Shearer puts his PL goal count as the first thing in his twitter description.

Shelvey may be a bellend but I'd still pick him for England over henderson

Still don't get why Austin isn't starting every game for them.

I would too desu

forgot about colback too lmao

glass legs

It is his foremost professional achievement.

newcastle look amazing compared to two years ago lmao sign of judgement day??

I have to go to work but half time BA

well that is what alan shearer is known for

You're fucking clueless.

Almost anything would look amazing compared to Newcastle when they had Schetve 'managing'

That's just like you're opinion man
England are already shit, and henderson has never offered anything significant. May as well try a wildcard

Go to bed, Jordan.

Shay Given

How about not playing Henderson like some kind playmaker when he's not? The reality is that don't have a single good number 10.
