Awww it is nice hearing a Rafa song  :)
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

I just remembered Newcastle came fifth a few years back, completely forgot about that little spell.
They had a good team that season, Cabaye, Demba Ba, Cisse, Krul, etc.

I still remember when Pepe Reina got sent off in the game at St James' Park and Enrique became the goalie. Earlier, in the game at Anfield, we were drawing 1-1 only for Stevie to come on and change the fixture completely.

The following season we drew 1-1 with them at Anfield them beat them 6-0 at their place.

Good achievement by Rafa that, especially when you see how Villa and Norwich have done. Incredibly hard to bounce straight back, especially when the manager doesn't know the league.

I thought it was too much of a risk when he carried on after relegation but fair play to him, Newcastle are lucky to have him.

Yeah, I was thinking the other day that teams that go down tend to struggle to come straight back up, especially if they've been in the Premier League for a while. No doubt, Newcastle not being promoted this season would have been a failure but they've navigated it pretty comfortably, save for a little wobble these last few weeks.

A fine victory to guarantee promotion today though.

Hope we don't see them in the Premier league for a very long time.

Congrats Newcastle  :wave Now let's hope that Ashley the tit doesn't mess Rafa around. If he thinks the Toon Army dislike him now, he won't know what hit him if his bullshit causes Rafa to leave. Hopefully the fat stooge realises that Rafa is not a 'cling on to survival for years on end' kind of manager. He is a 'we can win stuff if you back me' kind of guy; basically an anti-Moyes.

Never forget the time he scored at the kop then apologised for scoring past us and held his hands up.

Still, calling Ferguson a grass will always have him in my good books

Pretty mad when you look at the league table.

Newcastle +40 GD

Huddersfield +2 GD

Would have been absolutely crazy if either of them scraped above Newcastle
