I don't understand what's going on at all. Having seen every minute of every game bar the Man U draw, something happened at West Ham that's just sucked away any progress that had been made. There was tangible progress, we looked more confident, the crowd was behind the team. Last night was awful to watch in the ground. Everybody was just nervous from the first minute. I think he's tried to set us up to sit and not press too much, but we're just way beyond the pace. Even the pace of a second string championship side. We're still playing the same shite formation, the only difference being Anita coming to split the centre halves when we don't have the ball. McClaren worried me for the first time last night. He looked visibly exasperated and panicked at half time, wasted two changes doing something he should've done before the game started and then he had no way of changing things after the goal went in. Just like the Watford game, Wednesday weren't even playing well. We didn't give them anything to deal with. I think he might walk sooner rather than later. Just a mad situation to be in. We didn't even get the new manager bounce.

Worst of the new signings so far. Utterly anonymous. Seems to be getting away with it too.

That was was one of the worst Newcastle performances I've ever seen. I think I've probably said that a lot over the last two years, but that one really was dreadful. It's a good job Watford are shite because we would've been crucified against a decent side. Plenty of criticism all round, but Winjaldum's disappearing act seems to be so good that he escapes scrutiny. Absolute shite. Shite shite shite.

Great song 'The Chain'. Sorry, just something about the way you're written that is very Partridge.

Hello all, First post here, but I had submitted an article to the Mag the other day that got quite a bit of readership, so I thought I'd leave it here and see what you lot thought. http://www.themag.co.uk/the-mag-articles/charmer-alan-pardew-will-able-nudge-wink-way-one/
