Worst side in the league... freedom of the park.

Nothing wrong with a back 5, it's how its deployed which is the problem. We looked shite in 442, 451 and every other formation he has tried. We also played our best football in 541 with Rafa. The problem isnt the formation. Its Bruce.

Gouffran was twice the player.

Hes better than Lewis and Richie.

As Morphy says, we just need the balance between results and style of play. I think our style and results are balanced pretty perfectly.

Remember that Brucies idea of fitness isnt quite athlete standard.

Selling our shit players isnt a problem. It's the, not buying suitable replacements, which causes the harm.

Unless MBS is willing to go through an owners and directors test, I really dont see how we are any further forward. The takeover stalled because the people trying to buy us arent willing to be honest about who is in charge of the club. I doubt TV rights had much of a baring on the PL decision.

Be back to 442 after a couple of defeats. Then back again.

I really like Clark but it doesnt say anything about our ambition to keep handing out contracts to players we should be moving on from.

Thought he was our first choice RB now Have to make space for Elmo.

This guy will turn to shit the second we let Dubravka go. That's just how it works. Neither will want to play second fiddle.

Yes but I'd rather all my centre backs didnt have to do so much last ditch defending. In a 3, he should be given licence to bring the ball out of defence and pick out passes. (Not necessarily against Liverpool)

There was a moment in the second half when he was surrounded and he turned around but he had no pass on, instead of booting it down the field like Shelvey would have, he held on to it a little longer, shifted it between his feet and bought his team mates time to move. It's those little moments which tell you which players can make it. If you have the balls to keep the ball under pressure against one of the best sides in the world that's a great place to start.

You clearly have something to do with this. Why else would you keep mentioning it.

I'm not watching this like. Not having it ruin a perfectly good boxing day.

Newcastle just dont play the same sport.

Escape to Defeat.

Raging Bullshit. Fattoon.

Mingin in the rain.

Some beltas. Shite Club and One flew over the Midfielders head, are classics of the genre.

Grease.

Liar Liar.

Love the "who is worse" debate. Saw a load of "even pardew was better", crap the other day too. We've had Keegan, SBR, Keegan again, Hughton and Rafa who were good since the PL began. The rest have been a mixture of AIDS, Cancer and being stabbed by sharp objects. It doesn't matter what rank they find themselves, they were all equally harmful to us. What is most hurtful is that we went FROM AIDS to Cancer, flirted with a cure and said "no fuck it, bring on the sharp objects too." The manager is shite, the club is rotten and it's being like that 90% of the last 15 years.

We cant be expected to compete with Brentford.
