    Yes, finishing 7th made it easier. Odd that they'd sack Kenny for backing Suarez and not move Suarez on for being a 'racist' as you put it.
    Personally I don't believe Suarez is a racist.

    So you would have been happy for City to have scored from the same thing happening in the reverse? Pep was fuming with it.
    Like when the foul should have been given on Origi against Utd last season? I cant imagine you would have been okay with it. None of us would but that's the fickle nature of football fans.

    Just making the point we have benefitted from VAR aswell as falling foul of it. Every team has.
    The first goal yesterday was always goingvto be a free kick. He plays for it absolutely but we fell into the trap and it ended up being costly.

    Rightly or wrongly he served a ban for it. We have not suffered as a team without him.
    If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.

    We suffered after he left, the club goes on.

    I'm just saying that it's a bit odd to suggest they sacked Kenny for backing Suarez a 'racist' yet stubbornly refused to offload him to arsenal and when he left for barca it wasn't exactly because they wanted to sell him.
    Suarez got a stay of execution as he was producing in football terms.

    In the end he left rather than being forced out.

    I suppose a 12 year old living in the woods wouldn't have time for fighting windmills.

    That was the trouble with Benitez, he was quite happy to finish in the top 4. He rested first choice players in many league games only to bring them back for a CL game. We had one good season in the league under him, the other 5 we were nowhere. Should have kicked on after 2009 instead of finishing 7th.

    But seemingly plenty of it to waste on trying all manner of ways to prove that black is in fact a light shade of grey.

    Gazing out on the woods - if trees actually grow there? The logic goes that our manager actually seeks out the chance to spend as little as is possible. Happy to pile the workload onto the few... Preferring to miss out on titles and trophies over winning fewer but doing so while spending less than Sheffield United..!
