I cant see them terminating a deal especially for Sports Direct. Maybe if it expired but not like this.

Admit it - you only started the thread this early so you could do that awesome title, didnt you? I think we'll raise our game and play well, whilst losing.

We're meant to enjoy this? Since when?

They made up their mind on AVB very quickly and decided to force his departure. Hopefully it wont be for a while because I'm a fan of his but it's inevitable.

You know this, I know this, we all know this. But Pardew still won't play him there from the start, for some reason.

Pardew's tactics contradict the players we have and he persists with it. He has a lot of goodwill from last year but we need to stop dwelling on the past and look at reality. Our performances are consistently dire.

Have a guess.

Definitely a day for strikers. Apart from Jelavic, Ba, Crouch, Suarez and Fletcher, nobody did well.

Abysmal performance, its horrible being outplayed by the worst team in the league. The tactics were poor and the playera didnt seem up for it, although the subs were good. After that 2nd half against Everton I thought it'd finally get us going. It didnt.

Yeah thats turned out alright did he assist the Osman goal too?

We're making the worst side in the league look alright. We need Ben Arfa playing central. Disappointing first half.

Cuellar isnt starting so McAuley should come in. Hope that Maloney destroys them!

Theyre playing that Wisdom kid instead of Jose today. It must be all over for him.

Especially when he'd have probably started for us today!

Happy with that team, its more than good enough to beat them.

This is turning into a fantastic match.

One of the worst kick-offs I've ever seen

Thinking about bringing in Cazorla for Hazard soon.

Well known tune? Check. Very few words? Check. Doesn't sound girly? Check. ....it really should've caught on by now.

Gone for Baines myself. I ended up going with Jelavic because I hate putting captaincy on defenders. Put Lambert and McAuley on the bench.

On 'The Fantasy Football Show', Jose put Glen 'Johson' at right back in his teammates best XI

Can't decide who to captain out of Baines, Jellyfish, Van Persie and Ben Arfa Also need to bench two out of Lambert, Yaya, Michu and McAuley.

I bet that includes the postponed Sunderland vs Reading though. Add imminent home wins against Reading and Wigan to their 4 points and he's not far off. Not only did he overrate Wolves, he's vastly underrated their rivals West Brom though.

This Kean thing is hilarious....is this how other fans used to see us? Now i understand why

It's definitely a good idea to swim the Tyne near the winter
