Fairly comprehensive pasting that. Not entirely unexpected but you can't handwave away a 7-0. Need a result against arsenal on Saturday or I'd be concerned about going into the January window when we clearly need experienced players to fill in the gaping holes in the squad (and a replacement for raphinha who is clearly going as soon as a bid comes in) and bielsa just will not sign them

I mean, then I'll remember to laugh at Leeds and also loudly discuss if it's worth putting in a bid for various players at 10% of their real value

but before that

I mean it's already a Big Sam squad - a bunch of blokes who all run very fast in all directions to no apparent benefit plus one talented midfielder/forward who looks all the better for being surrounded by cloggers.

In fact has anyone seen Bielsa and Allardyce in the same room at the same time? Has anyone checked if that "Spanish" he's supposedly speaking isn't actually just Brummie with some extra vowels added at the end?

big sam shoveling buckets of cash to his agent mates while newcastle get relegated would be the funniest outcome and thus the best outcome

Don't even know who we'd get in if they sacked bielsa. We have sensible owners now rather than petty small business tyrants so I know they'd at least think about it but I can't shake the dread that id wake up and it'd be loving aitor karanka or something

Leeds only have like 3 good players, Bielsa getting them to play as well as he has is a small miracle but like all his teams they've burned out eventually and reverted to the norm. Bielsa should stay and get them promoted again next season even if they get relegated, imo

It doesn’t specify the breakdown between “illness” and COVID though, so I’m assuming the PL doesn’t give a gently caress unless there’s a certain number of COVID cases

I don't get it really, Fabregas through Koscielny were all good captains. If you post United's over the same time, would it look better?

They all left the season after they were given the armband with the exception of the strippers.

The PL are going to have to come down quite hard on clubs trying to game the system, either they've got a youth team/reserve squad for a reason or they forfeit.

To be fair most of them were loved by the fans, even Kaboul was pretty popular.

It gets worse of you go back further though, Sol Campbell and Jamie Redknapp dor example
