#288153 2015/16 Barclays Premier League Thread
Number 1
So the only 4 mangers to lose a competitive game to us in 2015 so far are him, Tim Sherwood, Steve Bruce and Chris Wilder. A real motley crue if there ever was one.
He's also bringing in Phil Brown as assistant manager, apparently. Presumably having a man with an axe to grind against us and a guy who grew up supporting the Mackems would kick them up the arse, assuming they can lure him from Southend.

Great. As if he wasn't smug enough when he beat us with Blackburn.

FIFA have just suspended Blatter, Platini & Valcke for 90 days, subject to appeal.

... more than likely.
Guess we may have to settle for suspension, assuming they're actually bold enough to go through with the provisional ban.

He'd be lucky to make the reserve team of a CL side on current form.

Relatively small stakes in comparison with most contemporary sci-fi, but quite offbeat and pretty entertaining. Plus Damon is pretty cool and I also liked Jeff Daniels' grouchy administrator in the background.

Ok.
Young at RB? Seems even odder than his LB role today.

Apparently Marseille are already getting buyer's remorse over Remy Cabella, who has been largely poor for them since joining, and are rumoured to be avoiding playing him so they don't have to buy him for £6million. Which means it doesn't seem like anyone has benefited from the deal that bought us Thauvin.

Also, speaking of left-backs, kudos to the MUFC fan who Tweeted "Luke Shaw didn't die for this" when Arsenal's third went in. Bravo.

Will say the Merseyside game was pretty anonymous enlivened by some appalling defending for both goals, but blimey nora, Arsenal have started on fire.

Yeah I bet Swansea-Spurs will be the most entertaining of these three games because its the one not on TV.

Looks like they're trying their "replace manager two games before the derby and bank on a lift in that game" trick again.
I do agree we've been given a proper arsehat of a fixture list, which at least is more understanding than our run of no wins from a comparatively easy opening 8 last season. But we're at a major disadvantage already, and if we don't get wins sharpish, we're in the shit. It is perhaps a bit easy to wonder if the club has an inbuilt losing mentality, but surely we can be better than the shite currently being produced.

But its a bit uneasy that after Aguero got one, he was soon pretty much granted free rein to get another four on top of that, and via some hideous defending. Although in fairness his third and fourth goals were excellent finishes. Also felt De Bruyne got such an easy opportunity, even with an unconventional and artistic finish.
Much as NUFC fans are happy to wail about the familiar scapegoats (Coloccini, Sissoko, Anita, Janmaat, Gouffran - although he will agree he's not a DM), there's a lot that needs to be done. I do agree there's been some positives of the last pair - should've beaten Chelsea and better for the first part today - but if we don't beat Norwich next time out, then a desperate relegation battle looms. So, no pressure.
Its not a comfortable scene because McClaren said "Judge me after 10 games"... we have ten in all competitions and our only conquest so far is the side currently 9th in League Two. Not ideal.

As for Newcastle, missed the game but it sounds like after the opening 35, it all fell to shit.
#287173 Newcastle Thread

Seeing as Man City will apparently be without Kompany, Toure, Silva, Nasri and more tomorrow, I reckon we do have a legitimate shot at getting more than our usual thumping. Might mean being more positive than the MUFC game and kicking Sissoko up the arse though.

So have Visa and Budweiser.
So there's a sponsor revolt potentially in progress - what many have said would get SB out - and he's still staying put. At this rate its going to take something properly extreme to get him out before February, and I bet he still won't go then.
Which means John Oliver drank a Bud Light Lime in vain. For shame.

Tbf it was at least an improvement on the hideous double against Watford and Sheffield Wednesday reserves. Although I've only seen MOTD highlights.

Nottingham Forest gave McClaren 2 months before realising he was relegating them... anyone willing to hazard a guess we might end up doing the same?

There's an increasing number disappointed we didn't sell him. Dunno if I'm one but he's not playing very well. Then again, he's not the only one - Cisse is really getting it in the neck from everybody and it increasingly seems like he doesn't want to be here, while Coloccini has continued to be terrible.
Interesting to see a panelist on Sky's Sunday Supplement publicly name Tiote as "poisonous" in the dressing room, and say he's not the only one. Bit of a bold step that, but wouldn't surprise me there are players who don't want to be at the club and couldn't be shifted causing shit. Anyone else willing to bet who the other unshiftable "bad eggs" are?

2013/14 entirely rested on a hot streak in November/December, fuelled by Cabaye playing well (or playing for a move) and Remy's goals. We were inconsistent before then and largely appalling afterwards. A few results differently in those two months would've given that campaign a less rosy picture.
