Steve McClaren says that Newcastle United are like a boxer who keeps getting knocked down by the first punch and not getting back up…

With 100% of those who stayed chanting “you’re not fit to wear the shirt”, Captain Colo came over and raised his hand in an apologetic manner, before swiftly moving on.

The Match of The Day running order for Saturday night has been announced, including Crystal Palace v Newcastle United.

Steve McClaren: “It is not about systems, it is about attitude, about fight, about running backwards as quickly as you run forwards…”

Where we go from here is a scary thought….In the short-term, Steve McClaren has got to go.

Crystal Palace 5 Newcastle 1 – Instant reaction from fans/writers.
