Wonder if McClaren can get the best from Sissoko, potential definitely there.

That's Sissoko undroppable.

Aarons has earned his start from his promising performances pre-season, and last pre-season and pretty much every time hes played. I understand not playing him 90+ minutes every single game and caning the life out of him but he would honestly be my first name on the team sheet, if he doesn't start its madness. Gives him a confidence boost starting the first game too.

With Sports Direct bags full of Donnay clothing.

Moron this bloke.

No more signings, working with defence we have, Coloccini captain, another long hard season awaits, and proves nothing has changed with Ashley, few signings to get the season ticket sales back up probably with Sissoko away in Jan if he has a good first half to the season. Aarons will "eventually" be a first team regular, Obertan to start the season? Fair assessment?

In other words, I'm starting the season with Obertan while using Aarons as a sub....

Sign a fucking 9.5 million CB then daft cunt.

Fuck off man. Long hard season awaits.

Cop out answer.

Eh? He's not on. Didn't say he was

Terrific question.

Hope someone mentions the small flood in the gallowgate end. Still losing sleep over that.

Fuck Off Mick Lowes.

Of course he does. Cabella is one that was always goign to need time. But a lot of his struggles in the league can be attributed to himself imo. Was dropped twice after starting to find significant form throughout last season, another victim of the Pardew regime like Mbiwa.

3 million, 2 year deal, would have him back and start him every single game.

Desperately want him to have a stormer for us this season, such a likable bloke.

He's such a passenger at times its unreal, speaking strictly defensively he either stays out of the way when the other side is on the attack (hes an expert at this) or goes in half hearted and clips whoever breezes past him like hes not there. In terms of his actual passing its decent and crisp enough when its backwards or sidewards but he neither has the vision nor the passing range to execute anything resembling a cutting through ball or an inventive cross field pass etc... You will notice whenever he does execute a decent through ball its usually a deflection, a bobble or just sheer luck that takes it through to the forward man, every now and then he does pop up with a decent ball though, and his long range shooting is one of the best in the squad, which is more of a damning statement of how poor 90% of our team is at shooting in general. He is so popular at the club and the average fan loves him mainly because he never makes any glaring mistakes and the perceived geordie passion that he has, both can be explained by the fact that he never attempts anything remotely out of the ordinary to risk making a mistake and personally I don't see this "passion" everyone speaks of, has the occasional moan at the ref, but apart from that what does he do but back keep out of the way and lay the ball off? I don't pretend to be any kind of expert on football but that's how I see it, and generally when you ask anyone what's good about him, they can't give you a straight answer other than hes "solid" or "tidy" or "got good work rate" Fuck that.

If Cisse starts on Sunday it will be the most disappointing thing to happen since McClarens appointment.

Fuck this ginger fucking cunt.

Honestly reckon McClaren might play this: Krul Janmaat Taylor Williamson Haidara Colback Wijnaldum Sissoko De Jong Obertan Cisse

Looked class before that injury he got, then since he came back he hasn't looked good at all, but a good run would probably sort that out, think if we let him go it will be a huge mistake.

I actually feel sick that I'm going to this game. My stance of not going back until something changes straight out the window when offered a cheap ticket from a friend. Might as well go and buy a wonga strip from sports direct on the way to the ground.

2-1 loss.
