I fucking bet they were. Tbh if they were hiding in the treatment room I'd have told them to do one.

What did Le Tiss say? Something along the lines of "no I don't they're expectations are too high Jeff. Last week they all expected to be relegated, this week some of them expect to stay up. Given the calibre of the man they've brought in that seems reasonable enough to me"

Discussing our change of manager, Jeff Stelling just spouted "are Newcastle fans expectations too high?" To be fair Le Tiss shot him down.

It's so tempting. The atmosphere is going to be incredible. It's my wife's birthday next weekend. Probably a terrible idea. $3,500 to get myself from Atlanta (where I'll be for work on Friday) to Newcastle by way of Detroit, Amsterdam. Would land in Newcastle in the morning, assume I'd drink all day and go nuts. Next day is the match. Fly out Monday morning. Too f***ing expensive Did not count hotel, food, drinking, tickets. Nee chance this is happening. But was fun to look it up. If you do it I'll throw in your match ticket for free.

Can we use the scousers Rafa song or do we need our own?

He'll need a dustbin lid!

If Rafa can't turn this club around, and I don't mean trophies, just a club that competes. Back to the days of Sir Bobby. Then there really is no hope, we may as well fold. Bring it on though Rafa, buzzing for Sunderland game now!

Haven't felt like this since archie gemmill scored against Holland in 1978.

Why wouldn't we like 4231?

If Rafa comes in, which I still can't accept will actually happen, we'll win every remaining game. This will send the suits at the premier league giddy and they'll award us 150 points for being super awesome and we'll be champions.

I'm not having this like, where's the catch? We get Rafa til the end of the season but fat boy hammers a crayon up rafas nose? It's not possible.

Any reaction on rtg? If I go on there I'll be up all night and I'm up for work at five.

Anyone remember Liverpool fans carrying that massive framed painting of him to an away game? Means fuck all but it looked funny.

Get away to fuck!

Are Barca adding seats, levelling it up so it isn't slightly wedge shaped any more?

They'll ruin it with the roof. Stade Velodrome looks shite now for the same reason.

And I suppose we're close ish to the Wirral, but he'd want his head looked at coming here.

If he sacks McClaren, who's he gonna bring in with the ten bob available?

Still here eh? Well i'll be dipped in shit!

Absolutely zero chance that Rafa the gaffer is coming here.

A year maybe.

John Hall man, asking Mike Ashley to tackle the situation he himself did all those years ago. Ambition, dreams, aye gan on then John.

Shola on a keep us up deal is as believable as Mourinho.

I think there's more chance of Palace sacking Pardew, tbh. Which isn't much.

Would somebody get some palace fan quotes please?
