How does that compare to the mackems?

Is he still our player?

It seems we argue a case for starting whichever DM is currently not playing. They are all absolutely shite.

Is that Grealish at the end?

Wonder how he feels about the "wont sign a player over 26" when he is in his mid 30's. Must be a bit alienating. Not to excuse how shit he has been.

I'm not sure if this is serious or not, either way it's believable.

Good article from Shearer. Spot on.

I can't see anyone being able to turn this around really, unless we have a top quality centre mid coming in on Jan 1st.

Who is a guaranteed starter for Pool?

5 number 10's 6 defensive midfielders?

I turned this off, so are we playing 5-4-1?

I dont want to go down, imagine Carr and Charnley trying to sign players for a championship promotion push. We would raid Lique 2 looking for bargains, sign about 20 number 10's.

We are shit with him, shit without him. He's not the problem, the problem is we don't have a player that can dictate a game, have propper wingers, a decent centre back, any decent full backs, any leaders, a decent manager. Which all stems from having a good recruitment policy, which is down to the MD who the owner appoints. We are fucked.

Despite him being not good enough, he hasn't been given the tools to do the job correctly. We don't even have a true centre mid, or true wingers at the club. We just have a bunch of below average defensive midfielders and an abundance of number 10's.

That bit of play deserved a goal from Leicester. Summed up all of our problems aimless passing, half arsed tackles.

Seems like a propper Geordie Neville, instead of a plastic fan.

Based on what?

maybe but even still I doubt he'd come here Who else is interested though? Can't see them selling to Spurs after the summers dealings - unless its at something like 50% above market rate. Sometimes players are that desperate to move that they'll take a sub-optimal option if its the only one on the table Michael Owen MKII

3-0 to Leicester. A team with pace, determination, confidence and a player that can unlock a defence in Mahrez. This is the type of game where we would roll over under Pardew. Could be very similar to the West Ham game.

Wouldn't touch Berahino, he will be a nobody in 3 years.

If he was to come back to England, nailed on to get boo'd by our fans.

Good news for us, he's a good player.

Cisse is as good as gone in January like, no chance he will get an opportunity here, nor does he deserve one.

Looks like someone had to remind him it was also Lascelles birthday today along with Gini's.

Same with us though.
