The cunt needs sacked asap. He's genuinely fucking clueless.

The only time I see people saying we play good football is a few days or week from our last result and after the fallout from another hapless, calamitous performance that was turned in. We've been largely shit this season man, stop kidding yourselves, I can't stress just how fucking shit and turgid we have been in games. Just pack it in saying we play better football when it hasn't. It's been average at best and that's without the likes of Williamson and Gouffran punting it long or just running into opposition.

Rooney should be dropped for his form over the past couple seasons but instead we'll see our most in-form players benched and/or shoe horned into a team around him. Eliminated in the quarters.

Imagine being known as the "boominator" man ffs! They make the True Geordie seem less of a knacker in comparison

I think it's a combination of pretty much all of those things. Imo English/British managers will only get you so far in the premier league, relegated or just avoiding it. Many live off just avoiding relegation season after season (See Pulis, Allardyce etc). You see "pundits" slating West Ham at the end of last year for getting rid of allardyce and daring to get a more progressive manager in because Allardyce guarantees safety. However look what has happened to them this season, they've progressed because of that change. We've bought some poor players and some good ones but we haven't had a good manager yet to get the best out of them because they have all been very limited. 80 million is a huge amount of money, I know we went backwards when we didn't spend but with the players we've bought we should be way ahead of where we are. If we were to pick a starting 11 of players from teams in the bottom 6, the majority would be our players.

Even the likes of Norwich, Bournemouth, Watford etc? I'd understand if it was mid table to the European places but not the relegation places and teams coming up from the championship.

80 million is a massive amount for the position we were in at the end of last season and in comparison to what the teams around us spent. No team around us spent that amount and we're lagging behind those teams which shouldn't be the case. Look at West Ham, they spent a canny bit and got a new manager in and they've flew up the league, we haven't and it's mostly due to the manager imo.

If we'd have gave him the final 3 games of last season the fucker would have took us down.

I love their fan denials

We need 9 points from the first 3 as there the teams around us and we can't afford to drop points against them. That would take us to 33 points and needing at least another 7 from the other 9 games.

Ive missed these insights

This is brilliant.

At least we aren't as bad as Villa. Only by a little bit.

Exactly, we play some alright stuff at an average of about every one half in every 3 games so that makes it alright in the end.

We need 6 points against Sunderland and Bournemouth. We need to take points away from teams around us to even have a chance.

Not surprised, just tired of tuning in to watch this shower of shite every weekend for the past 5 year or so. Feels so long ago that I'd hate to miss going to a game.

Resign pls.

Colback the game changer.

75 million spent to be 3-0 down after 17 minutes.

Don't worry, we play good football sometimes so it's alright.

If Elliott had of stayed on his line it was an easy stop.

The King's men are 1-0 down vs Watford too.

West Brom winning at Everton. It's going to be a bad weekend for us this I reckon.

Aye expect plenty more of that in the coming months with the Euro's coming up. Everything will be about Rooney despite him being absolutely shite for the past 18 months.
