Oh dear... The "former England international" is apparently Joey Barton https://twitter.com/T_Clements/status/407513655102947328/photo/1/large
Barton's response: "Me to 5under1and? Somehow I just don't think so. I value the time I spent at NUFC." "I value the relationship I have with the Toon army to this day. I could never play for the mackems. It wouldn't be right."
So he has 8 points from 24. I can't really see them getting more than 3 points from the next four games which would be 11 points from 36. Surely thats sacking calibre!
9 from a possible 30 now. Only two wins - us and Man City . Next two games away to Everton and Cardiff - can't see them getting any points there
Boring now, not going to rub it in too much. We might have to get relegated just to get a derby worth turning up for. Hope you sort it all out soon.
