Varadi

Pretty much sums it up http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3522699/Newcastle-left-late-club-failed-act-early-sleepwalking-Championship.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490

If the last relegation is any barometer the next manager will be Cathro.

They're much, much better than us. We'll lose comfortably and some other shit things will probably happen as well - Mitro red card and Darlow injury I reckon.

Not a chance he stays imo - he'll have seen enough behind the scenes already to know that the club is absolutely rotten to the core.

I just can't see any cause for optimism, the one positive is that for us expat fans living abroad there is very little coverage of the Championship so I won't have to put up with this shower of shite ruining my weekends.

They're much, much better equipped for the Championship than us, if we both go down I know which team I would be backing to get back up the quickest.

If he can see the big picture why would he stay? The big picture is fucking terrible

Which is strange because I assumed one of the reasons we were desperate to sign him and Shelvey was to provide some British grit which was lacking in the French tarts we've been sending back over the border at huge discounts. Whoever thought signing English players would solve our team issues needs sending to a North Korea detainment camp. tbf signing English players might actually have solved our problems if they were strikers or fucking defenders.

At 2-1 down I had decided that if we lost I wasn't going to bother putting myself through watching any more games this season, then when we equalised I realised I was actually just a little bit disappointed. Says it all really.

He would still be starting at left back, centre mid or even wide left ahead of this bunch of useless cunts.

He'll probably be OK in the Championship.

Really missed him today, when's he due back?

Clearly not comfortable playing on the left side. Got rattled early on and didn't recover. Horrible performance.

He was poor today but I don't think he was even our worst central defender, Mbemba had an absolute mare.

Looks like he seriously underestimated how poor this squad is. In some ways it's reassuring to know that even a world class manager couldn't save us, we really are just that shite.

Useless cunt was put in a position he's nowhere near qualified for. And that was when he was just handing in the team sheets. Blame the owner I reckon.

We were second best in every department to a Norwich side that is the 4th worst team in the league. Twice we somehow conjured undeserved equalisers and it took them precisely 2 minutes to put us back in our fucking place. Shameful.

We've won 7 of our last 42 league games and now need to win at least 4 from 7. We're done. Finished. It's over. Won't even be close, we'll be at least 6 points adrift by the end of the season.

Just think he doesn't want everything pinned on this one game, just adds extra pressure on the players and we know how good they are at coping with that...

Villa are so very, very bad - Chelsea strolling this.

De Jong ahead of Cisse and I think that's what I would go for. I like that for the first time in what feels like forever we could have a really physically imposing lineup - 8 of that 11 are 6ft-plus and Tiote is no shrinking violet. Norwich are quite a lightweight side, especially in midfield, we should be looking to dominate them from the start I reckon.

Nah, looks like it's legit: http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/newcastle-united/latest-nufc-news/injury-hit-newcastle-defender-set-to-be-fit-for-norwich-clash-1-7826708

Is Janmaat definitely out for this?

Pardew in "lying piece of shit" shocker.

He obviously let the nerves get to him against West Brom so if they can get his head right he should be a lot better than we've seen - quite a big if though.
