Some sort of break in the time space continuum. Rivers of blood, plagues of locusts, the whole deal. I'm afraid so.

Or, what if Ashley actually cared to hire a quality Managing Director? Dropped that stupid board? Dropped that stupid transfer policy? Dropped Wonga? Cared for the club, the fans and the city? What would happen?

With everything being totally pointless, the one thing I will actually give McClaren is the fact he is laughing and smiling during all the interviews. I'd like to think it is because in his mind he is like "hahaha, can you f***ing believe this. They were on their knees to get me. Despite me being so s***. They put me on the board for f*** sake. And then, and then... haha... they let me spent a s*** load of money on players too. And now, haha, they can't afford to sack me. Clueless c***s".

Conceded 52 in 2015. The defence remains dreadful and prone to collapsing far too often imo. Been the same whether the manager has been Pardew, Carver or McClaren. None of them are good managers but that says it all about the mentality of the club. We're programmed to not compete. Despite what Ashley and his dickhead MD may say or think, you can't just turn that around overnight by spending a few quid for a change. This has been coming for years, and it's exactly what they deserve. Absolutely. I was just pointing out the fact that he's failed to organise a back four and we look no better for him taking over. Some managers walk into a club and can make them organised and disciplined within a few weeks, it happens loads. He walks into the club in June and we don't look any better and have the worst GD in the division. Yes the problems were there but he's failed to solve them. Not at Newcastle with the current regime. Nobody can. The policy from the guys on top (not to mention who these guys are) has absolutely nothing to do with building a football club. Nothing.

I would never have hired him in the first place. This is too big of a task for him, and he has not proved anything to suggest he is cut out for PL football. Also, he makes a total ass of himself by trying to hide behind sayings like "things can turn fast in football" "This team needs time to gel" blah blah blah. He said that shit a couple of game ago in a post-match interview. Got damn it, to even accept letting words like that enter your ear is a crime. Everything from top to bottom at this club stinks amature!

I think you are wrong. I'm fairly confident Newcastle cannot beat anyone in this league.

46 points... Aguero got me 44 of them

Do we need any other thread than this?

I've just seen the Man City line-up. Silva is back too. I'm thinking:

And he is too old. No re-sale value

I've got the answer, I put two of their players in my fantasy team. So did I

Considering to skip this match. Very likely to ruin the rest of my evening.

Shit. Forgot to make changes ahead of this round. Got an injured Benteke as captain

I think you can up that a little bit. Have you seen us this year? We fold like a cardhouse from 75 mins and out. We have already folded.

Haha, f*** you Would have liked to keep Abeid. Colback can go to ....

Nooooooo?

This has already paid off for me!

I don't know what their wages are like, so I can't comment on that. However if there is unrest/dispute/poisoned mood amongst the likes of Tiote, Cisse and Sissoko, and I believe it is, it just adds to the other things that are discussed in numerous threads here. This could probably been avoided had this cancerous club been operated differently. I mean, if you setup a club to run on profit like Mike Ashley does, and in the process make sure to p*ss of the fans and continuously and repeatedly make the same disastrous decisions, then you are bound to fail and crash hard. I bet they have sold the "stepping stone"-argument to every f***er (apart from Colback and Williamson ) on the pitch. The strategy is clear: buy young players to make a profit on sales later. When said players are not being sold fast enough after making an exellent/good/decent impact they eventually get p*ssed. Tiote, Cisse and Sissoko should have been sold a long time ago. After all, all we care about is cash and maximize profit.... Basically, Newcastle needs to shift players faster to defend the "stepping stone"-argument. Under the current setup, players only come here to move to bigger clubs. Newcastle are in no way trying to be competitive. It's a sad, sad situation. The current group of players is unbalanced and in no way setup to play together.

I believe something like this can be true. I have seen teams play shit before, but nothing like the shit that has been served since the league started. Why this has not been taken care of before is beyond me. But at least they can have them play in the reserves, and fine them for unprofessional behaviour until they fuck off in January.

No. Newcastle would have absolutely destroyed his talent.

I've seen enough. f***ing clueless. Every week baffling substitutions. Our worst start since we went down in 87. In the last four seasons we have won a total of 20 home league games. 20 in over four years. I can't think of a single worse way to waste f***ing money than going to watch us. Beyond motivating people for a bit, Sherwood is useless. Tactically, he's the worst manager I've seen at our place (see last week's horror show, for which he reckons his subs weren't to blame, for an example). You obviously haven't seen Newcastle yet...

The main problem has always been Mike Ashley and it always will be. McClaren will take this club down. Sadly for the fans... Fucking awesome, because it gives Mike Ashley exactly what he deserves. To see he blew a lot of money to get this in return, is also beautiful.

Doing good or playing badly?

Decided to accept a huge point deduction ahead of this round in a desperate attempt to turn my ultra shit scores around.
