Come off it. If TM came out and said "Raya is brilliant and we are lucky to have him. He's going nowhere while I'm here" you would back him to the hilt!! And you still don't know the difference between a fact and an opinion though I've done my best!

That would be suicidal so I'm pretty certain a new keeper will come in.

Rothwell?

I don't mind what opinions you hold, just don't pass them off as FACT. And you were right about the Johnson deal and nobody has ever said you weren't, but that doesn't mean you are right about everything else does it?

No, its a FACT that you said "most"!!!

Hang on! Most of what's written on here is opinion and should be! But there are facts and fiction nevertheless. "most seemed desperate to get him out after each time he made a mistake" is NOT a fact and you ARE rewriting history to have your usual dig at those whose views you usually find baffling. Unless you can dig up those posts to show what you are saying is true, I'll dismiss it as the usual hyperbole I associate with you. What you've written does not match my recollection of the debate. Most,however, thought he made mistakes during the season which cost us points, particularly after that injury v West Brom. Personally I think he has brilliant reflexes but makes poor decisions at times. Not helped by the state of the defence that's true imo. Good coaching, an elder mentor to learn off and I think he could be the goods. It seems Tony doesn't think that so it looks like he's off. Whether we live to regret that only time will tell.

I really don't get it. The weaknesses in defence stick out like a sore thumb. We all know it, even the manager saw it towards the end of last season. Now he seems to think it was all Raya's fault and that will be solved by signing Newcastle's 4th choice.! Repeat---I don't get it.

Classy booze shop as well!

PVN Ha! Sorry---too late!

Nice spot Bretherton! Prefer Croston myself!

Plenty of 20 year olds will get better with more game time. Who's saying otherwise? Have you always been so extreme?

Same. Advancing at glacier speed to the Premier League holds no attraction for me!

So true. How there is any dependency on Brereton coming good mystifies me. There's as much chance of Brexit coming good as that. Nothing to get people's hopes up at all.

Johnson would know that, at 32, no other club would guarantee him a long career.

Bit early for that. "statically"?!! On reflection........!!!

God almighty. I never thought he was that good anyway. "A replacement for Maguire"----bloody joke. Manu losing its marbles. What did we get ----£2m? Didn't do a good job there did we?

But where have we moved to?

Yep, I've still got that one. My all-time favourite is still the one we wore in our first year in the Premiership though. A lot of controversy at the time about the position of the crest on the Umbro as I remember. Never been in the middle since.

I can't believe that picture of the "lighter shirt" is accurate. Its almost green.

So you were negative last season then?

10 of them

"START"? LOL

That seems to have gone quiet though. I agree he's just what we need on the field.

He'll ease his self-restraint once his kids have finished uni!

Exactly. Either you try to the control of events or they take control of you. You have to exploit every chance in football in case it never comes again.
