Ronaldo

I don't think McClaren deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Roy Hodgson, like.

Only time I recall him ever criticising our transfer policy during his tenure was behind closed doors at a talk-in when he mentioned the Adam Lallana situation.

Within 10 seconds of Lowes asking him about the obvious need for a CF he was mumbling on about 'the attitude of the players'.

Yes.

I'd forgotten how utterly laced with creativity QPR were last season, like.

Begs the question why he's only being introduced when one of Anita or Colback is unavailable when neither should be playing whenever Cheick is fit to play. Probably because he's been god awful every time he's played for about 4 years. Exactly. A proper midfielder is Speed, Lee, Dyer or Cabaye. Not Cheick fucking Tiote.

That's a silly post, mind.

Pretty sure Paul Merson just said (in reference to Rooney's goal) 'come in the hour, come in the man'.

Charlie Austin would have at least 10 goals for us now. It's sickening.

I just don't understand this unlucky shit. We don't score goals, we don't deserve a thing from these games.

Don't hate him, but he's a fucking pussy. Him and Coloccini probably borrow each other's lingerie.

Rubbish, man. You make your own luck. We're relying on two kids from 2nd/3rd rate leagues to score goals for us instead of spending money on proven ability.

Yep. It's like pissing into a sieve and hoping not to make the floor wet.

Ronaldo will be mortified. Indeed. Gutted one of our players is justifying his paycheque for the first time in years.

They do try, they're just too shit and bereft of ideas to break sides down and make it count - ie with goals, the whole point of playing football.

A blind man saw this coming like: sit deep, break when possible, nothing too ambitious in possession. Unfortunately these games don't keep you up. Consistently beating those around you in the table does that.

If it ain't broke, why fix....umm.. Newcastle 0-1 Everton Newcastle United manager Steve McClaren pleased despite Everton loss "That kind of performance, that bodes well for the future" Possession Newcastle 41% - 59% Everton Shots on Target Newcastle 1 - 7 Everton "If we carry on like this - performances, attitude, the way we fight for things - we'll have a better second half (to the season) than the first." In all fairness our chances were headers and are not classed as shot on target. Shots on target is a misleading stat, keep hitting them from 35 yards out and it's classed as a shot on target when the keeper gathers it. We were much better in the 2nd half in that game, the first half was terrible. Which fucking headers did we get on target anyway?

He isn't.

What the fuck do you expect, leadership?

Oh, talent, yeah. Not a legend, though.

Michael Owen a PL legend ffs. Aye, right.

Well, that tends to happen when you refuse to pay money for them.

If it's actually you, let me just say I've missed you and this represents a very good start to 2016.

You're all gorgeous, with few exceptions. Happy new year! x

Best of luck to him if true. Terrible defender who should never have played Premier League football but tried his best and also tried to get the best out of those around him.
