Who was expecting us to get a result here? The only unexpected thing for me really was the scoreline, and to be honest, the only points I really expected us to pick up was a win v Watford (and Sheff Wed). Season starts now. Biggest game we've had since last game of last season after the international break.

'Pellegrini was our best player today, taking Aguero off.'

7 points from 57.

Completely agree.

Didn't the sacking of Willie McFaul turn out to be a fantastic decision?

In all seriousness though, I seriously think we're going down if we don't beat Norwich at home after the break. I don't care how it's done, even if it's a 1-0 in the worst match in Premier League history, we need those points. The 3 points v Norwich are probably going to be the biggest 3 points this season. If we get them, I think we can kick on from there as on paper, all of our coming fixtures are very winnable (Norwich h, mackems a, Stoke h, Bournemouth a, Leicester h, Palace a). And I believe the derby is going to be the 10th games where McClaren asked us to judge him. If we lose to Norwich and lose/draw with the mackems, he's gone imo. Ashley will do anything to keep us getting that PL TV money.

Well Luke Edwards and the other stattos chat shite.

0 points after 8 games in 1896. Stattos on the old Twitter

Heard that this is the worst start to season for us since 1896?

Anyone else counting how it's going to take for Makom to come out of the shadows and spout his anti-fan wannabe philosophical bollocks?

Going to order a curry, lock myself in my room and watch this.

Our fans. They're either completely nuts or they've been on the piss since 8am. Probably both.

At least the spineless bastards can't ruin our weekend next week.

*starts to cry*

Sick of this club me like. Feel like vomiting.

Wow

What the hell

I wonder what was said at half time. Then again, this was the result expected.

It was good while it lasted.

Mitrovic on Sky Sports: 'Goals are like drugs. You score one, you want a lot.'

Cheers for all the sentiment lads. First game was the Robert free kick vs Liverpool 2005. First season ticket was 07-08. What a depressing season that was.

That Pardew blip was probably the best. Yes, Pardew. My best NUFC memory is from that absolute clown.
