If we appoint Benitez then does it mean that everyone who said we shouldn't sack Pardew because there wasn't a hope in hell we could attract a decent manager was, you know, talking absolute shite?

Can we start calling him Benitez pls, thx

On the plus side, if he reads these boards he's probably read that 4 or 5 times now and might be getting slowly used to the idea

Hurry the fuck up man, we've bored him rigid already

Mad cunt must have watched Goal 2 before watching Goal 1.

"Local man wins award"

The irony being that he's the luckiest bastard going.

I heard he rarely drives anywhere himself. Has his own driver for most the time according to a lad who ferries one of the players all over Daft cunt thinks he's Mr Big in Wayne's World.

That's what she said.

ok They had 2 weeks plus without a fixture. Absolute morons.

The interview's great like, he was spoiling for a fight then made himself look an utter prat. Think he was seconds away from saying "Are you trying to mug me off?"

12 games without a win, man Bolasie's back as well although I did notice him getting his excuses in pre-match re Wickham. Tbf it is rotten bad luck having one player out, medical science is against him.

The takeaway bit Like that, creative criticism.

"Oh brilliant, it's fucking sunny AGAIN. So predictable. Fuck my life".

It's quite incredible that Doumbia got no chance at all today when he was the only player to show anything going forward in midweek. McClaren really doesn't appear to watch our matches.

He was fucking terrible. Only guy trying to take any responsibility was Shelvey, even if a lot of it didn't come off.

Surely anybody who has watched a handful of football matches knows that you can't do that.

"Look at that bloke messing about before posting his letter. JUST GET IT IN THE BOX"

It'll be an hour of that Bishop cunt's time at his weekend rate. Petty arseholes.

As if the players did that of their own accord. An hour before a match as well, mental timing.

Riviere had twice as long on the pitch as UB the other night and was nowhere near as effective. Team sheet makes zero sense.

It's not even forced on him either, he has 2 better options for each position sat on the bench. What a moron.

It's a bit disconcerting that the manager and players seem to think we played well the other night, think we'll make one change max. If it was me I'd make 3 or 4 changes with Saivet, Doumbia and Perez coming into the side and perhaps Townsend if he's fit. Gouffran starts again and I'll be bemused, given our options.

Most players have nonce-related get-out clauses in their contracts iirc, there'll be an exodus. Only Lee Cattermole will remain.
