    Genuinely, that's the WORST Newcastle side I've possibly ever seen. I mean even Pardew got ridiculed for three RB's on the pitch, but 2 RB's and 4 LB's - SIX ****ING FULLBACKS - is the weirdest **** ever.

    It might as well be. I don't reslly think the shape will matter with that team.

    This smells like a Southgate type moment.

    EH - "Well, I rested them ahead of big games against Dortmund and Arsenal".
    Press - "Ok, but you've since gone on to lose both of those games as well?"

    I suggested that, but EH has NEVER played anything other than 4-3-3 (well, maybe one or two 4-4-2's, but that's about it). I genuinely think he'll just cram these square pegs in however he can.

    I have to say doing this in the cups was a reason the fans went after managers and Mike Ashley.

    It'll be OK though now because the fans will say that was different.

    The opportunity is there to take man united fans souls if they can hold out until half time.

    Unfortunately it'll be our souls as usual.

    That side is bonkers. No idea what it's actually going to look like on the pitch.

    I'm sorry but a club that's not won a domestic trophy for 67 years just not even trying to is very upsetting.

    No money in it.

    I'm off to take an extra large ****. Hopefully by the time I'm done the game will be too.

    The quality and experience certainly isn’t there but the players in the position I posted isn’t strange really.

    He must have had it 'suggested' to him that he should throw this one. He must know that if we loose the press will be all over it. He's probably gone in with Sandro on this.
