Still....waiting til my birthday to sack McClaren is awfully accommodating of them.

(awaits McClaren staying statement on nufc.co.uk)

It gives us a chance. No more.

Facts remain the same. We're 19th, can't score away, struggle to break down teams at home, players don't seem to give a fuck and we're the team everyone wants to play. If he can motivate them a bit then it may change but I'll not be holding my breath. He's an excellent manager imo but he needs others to follow him and he's not enough on his own.

Next week, do you reckon we should go for your shit defence or sit back and look for breaks and set pieces if you can't break teams down?
 
With a new man in they will be fired up for the derby, but we will expect it and be ready, it's up to our players to make themselves Heroes if they want it enough

Re Rafa, good move for the skunks and one which we would have approved of if it had come our way

You should go for the jugular from the first whistle. We'll be brittle and simply can't withstand any pace and movement in the first 15 minutes.

If you sit back and allow us to have a bit of the ball then we'll grow a bit in confidence and be a bit more of a threat. If you score early then history says we'll crumble.

We couldn't attract that kind of manager, ever.

Benitez is a good manager but I doubt he's managed at this level before. You can't put lipstick on a pig .

Rafa Benitez is 10x the manager that useless tufty kernt is so anyone who says they aren't more concerned now is talking shite frankly. Tufty was / is taking them down. Parachuting in Rafa can only have an upside. The downside would be no worse than their current situation. Plus some wedge worse off maybe but assume the fat cockney can afford it

@Dredd
Tell that smellymag wanker this is a lot more convincing than his pathetic 'I am. ftm' yesterday. We can tell this lad hates the bastards.

What you advise us to do is not Allardyce-esque though. I bet we are cagey. The first goal next week is huge.
