Big Sam not big enough for Newcastle, apparently

Sam Allardyce has just been sacked as Newcastle manager. Apparently they have a time limit on how long someone can serve as manager of Newcastle, and it is roundabout 2 seconds.

Which is a shame, because I feel Big Sam is a solid manager who obviously needed more than 2 second to turn around that clown house which is Newcastle. So, to all you Geordies out there, you deserve a team that sucks as bad as it does. Long may you continue to be shit.

Happily however, United (there is only ONE UNITED, Manchester United) will be playing Newcastle at Old Trafford. And I've just been mentioning to HF how United have yet to annihilate a team this season and Newcastle so happens to be a perfect candidate. Big Sam also happens to be a personal friend of Sir Alex, so I'm sure he'll have some extra motivation to stuff the Barcodes properly. We're just getting back into form, Rooney is back so it looks like I may get my wish.

Remember this?

How bout something a little more recent?

The Thunderbolt from Rooney

Or when United won the FA Cup during the historic Treble season, I'm sure the Barcodes were glad to play their part in history.

Look at Utd, SAF is the best example to any clubs in Premier League. His first few years in Utd was not impressed at all. But now, Utd is the best in Premier League. 9 Premier League Titles, FA Cup, ECL......
Manager need time to settle down. Sacked a manager who just worked for 8 months not going to help.
