McClaren to get the sack at Newcastle.

Benitez, Moyes, Paerson or Rodgers.
Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Kevin Garnett, Toni Kroos, Pep Guardiola, Ernst Happel, Joachim Löw.

Newcastle never learn from their mistakes. Unbelievable, such a great club with amazing fans that deserves better.

Really hope the Wally with the Brolly in still in charge for at least another week.

Teams always play more inspired for a game or two after a manager sacking.
I remember when the Dolphins were perennial contenders

Joke of a manager.

It would be fun to revisit those matchups after the season. :devil:

Rodgers would do a lot of good for them. They're going to buy crap no matter what, so Rodgers' biggest weakness won't put them at a disadvantage relative to his rivals for the job. As a coach he's actually pretty competent.

Football is great. Just had a look at the table and fixtures. 6th is ours!


Honestly dreading playing you lot at Anfield, fully expecting more antics like we saw today. Plus we've been sh*te there for years now.

Good thing Newcastle are doing everything in their power to stop this by ensuring that they play in the second tier of english football next season...

Rafa goes from managing Real to Newcastle. Sad.

Okazaki is proving to be a pretty nifty player, nice technique for the bicycle kick finish even if he scuffed it

I'd like to see Leicester take the title. But, it's good to see Spurs challenge. It really is a 2 team race now. Refreshing to not have Chelsea, United, or City run away with it. :D

It's looking difficult unless Newcastle can do something here. Still have to play Chelsea and Liverpool away, tough fixtures.
