Much of the focus has indeed been on Leicester in the build up to the game, which is the price you pay for being so high in the league I guess, and especially on Jamie Vardy who will be seeking to equal a Premier League record today. You can use this Bet 365 Bonus Code to enhance your odds if you’re backing Vardy to make history today.
For the part of Steve McClaren and United it is entirely up the them to stop Leicester in their tracks. However they will need to be careful should they go into the lead as we’ve seen so many times that this Leicester side just does not give up.
The match preview went live last night and can be viewed here. It features news of injury updates for both sides, a look at the history of the fixture, some on my thoughts and some handy stats and facts to wash it all down with.
In terms of actual team news you can find it at the bottom of this article a little under one hour before kick-off and you’re looking for a stream I’m sure our regulars will post a link or two in the ‘comments’ section below.
Events in Paris will be marked at every Premier League ground today but with the largest French contingent in the Premier League on our books it may perhaps be more raw within St James’ Park than at other grounds.
But as tragic as those events were it is a fact that things move on, and that applies to NUFC too! For we must move on and start putting points on the board.
Howay the lads!

Well Diem says he’s fit and has been all season. Schteve needs to recognize that his current charges are not producing. He needs to man up and make some tough decisions – dropping ‘big’ players. We are playing with no direction or desire and our best players are not performing at all ) so what’s the harm in trying some of the fringe players? Lascelles for Colo, De Jong for Sissoko, Gouffy or Thauvin on the wing. Mbabu etc. Give then a chance.
Shamrock(Quote)
If nothing else, dropping certain players for 2 or 3 games might fire a rocket up their respective behinds and make them perform more consistently for the remainder of the season.

Kim we are a poor side in a top league and we have escaped relegation a few times and lessons haven’t been learnt or taken seriously. To me we might as well have kept the 50 million in the bank for all the good its done the team. At least the fat slug could relegate us and sell to an owner for a more reasonable price.
Stem(Quote)
Stem, yeah but he won’t mate, if we drop he’ll just increase the loan, he’s too stupid to bail out or admit he’s ****** up yet again.
kimtoon(Quote)
Kim I agree with you there mate. He will add a debt on even though its his own fault. His such a scum bag. I was just wondering would he still want the club if they didn’t get promoted at the first time of asking. Look at our under 21 for example there terrible. Can we count on them in the championship ? I doubt it. Are best player’s will be off. The fan’s will probably decrease at the stadium and no free advertising either. He will never get his money back so just cut your loses sort of thing.
Stem(Quote)
stem, we can only hope mate.
kimtoon(Quote)
Stem – Jabba will be thinking he could have spent nothing and be where we are now so he will see £50m as a complete waste. I can only hope he realises this soon enough and decides to make a change in manager and actually get someone who is actually proven to improve his ‘investments’ and increase their values like he wants.
Stuart79(Quote)
Staurt79 I hope Lee Charnley and Graham Carr are shitting themselves right now. They’ve just waisted 50 million of the clubs money and we should be better off for it. We all know he doesn’t like paying out compensation money but this could really backfire on him. I wont be to gutted if we do go down. It will hurt his pocket not mine. This is what doing nothing gets you.
Stem(Quote)
I see Mick Quinn has now come out with the new mantra that Mitrovic is “sluggish and slow”. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t think we bought him because of his pace? I thought he would be a battering ram, good in the air and willing to have a pop at goal. It is OK to give him a kick up the **** but dropping him would be stupid. I think Steve will mix it up, but who do we really have to do that?
MBabu – played 2 games
Gouffran – was talked about as a loan last week and now considered to be played out of position.
De Jong – is he fit, let’s find out?
Thauvin – needs to come into a winning team to give him more space
Cisse – never really been part of a team formation, more instinctive, but could be an impact sub
Lascelles – his involvement would mean Colo being moved to CM
Haidara – we already have Janmaat going walkabout upfield. Do we need another winger masquerading as a full back? Maybe, but we need confidence first.
Did anybody else notice that whenever Thauvin or Perez got the ball on Saturday there were 2 or even 3 Leicester players on them? It seemed like they had 13 men on the pitch sometimes. There was no transition play and this was highlighted further by Elliot having nobody to throw to for a quick break.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
I might be beating a dead horse here but how can it now be accepted wisdom that Mitro is sluggish and slow and overweight? He doesn’t look overweight to me, and wasn’t it only a couple of weeks ago that he was told to rein in his aggression. It smacks of scapegoating and bandwagon jumping after one of his Serbian teammates, who did not cover themsevles in glory either, had a pop at him.
It might be time to change things up a bit but I can name 9 or 10 others who didn’t show up against Leicester and Bournemouth. The only player who can really say they are not to blame for those Carveresque games is Elliot.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
I mean, he comes to us with a reputation for being intense, getting a lot of cautions and putting pressure on his opponents. He is told to tone it down by McClaren. How does that jive with being sluggish and fat? It doesn’t. They need someone to blame. I want to see what de Jong can do but not at Mitro’s expense and de Jong isn’t exactly pacy either.
The real problem is that the main goalscoring burden has been put on the shoulders of a 21-year-old. They are paying the price for not getting him a partner or support (Charlie Austin?). I like Perez but I doubt if he is more than a 10-12 goal a year striker and Sissoko is more miss than hit.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
And another thing… what choice did McClaren have if he wanted to bring on Cisse? Perez is high tempo and we definitely needed that because we were being overrun. Thauvin had come on as a sub but was having little impact. You couldn’t take him off though as his confidence would then be shot. Wij was switched to the middle and Sissoko is the golden boy.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
And furthermore… some are criticising him for running off the field too fast. Perhaps he realised he wasn’t having his best game and wanted to give his replacement time to have an impact. We were still (barely) in the game at that point and time was of the essence. What, do his detractors want him to put his head down and walk down the tunnel to show his discontent? Maybe, but you cant win if you are criticised for how you leave the pitch after being subbed FFS.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
I am sorry, but it just amazes me that these pundits and writers cannot think for themselves and cannot see simple logic. They just trot out cliche’s or dial it in. Worst of all, they say something stupid just to be controversial and get clicks.
I will use the example of Ryder again since he hasn’t written anything original since 1991. He said that Woodman would be an “able deputy” in the event he was called upon. He had no evidence of this as Woodman is 18 years old and had played 12 games in the 4th division. The most number of games are decided by one goal so that makes the goalie the most important member of the team as they are your last defense. One mistake can mean the difference between winning and losing, success and failure, staying up or relegation. And Ryder thinks we would be in good hands with an untried kid.
I know the pundits have played the game but they do not think about the game. And Ryder, there is no excuse for his stupidity after 25 years of writing about football.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
What we need is an instruction booklet to tell players how fast to get off the pitch. Too slow and you are time wasting and don’t care about the team. Too fast and all you want to do is get back to the bench and don’t care about the team!!! They need to do a military march so there is no doubt in the Punditory’s mind that they are going at exactly the right tempo to be like it was in their day when birds sang, it was always wet and windy in Stoke on a Tuesday and men were men. How about a North Korean Army high step to add a bit of entertainment as they get subbed.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
Rant over 🙂
Eric Sykes(Quote)
Not quite !!! They get a 20 year old kid from Anderlect and expect him to be Alan Shearer, age 25. The saviour, the talisman, the goal machine! I had only ever seen him once against Arsenal in the Champion’s League and no wonder because he was only fckin 20.
So, he comes in and has a rush of blood and is (wrongly) sent off. Now he is a psycho and to blame for our poor start because he is not in the team when we need him. He goes away on international duty and a teammate we don’t give a **** about slurs him as fat and slow. Now every pundit takes up that baton and runs with it and says he doesn’t deserve his place.
There is something wrong here. I am not saying Mitrovic is the second coming of Shearer because I haven’t seen enough of him and neither has anybody else. They just seem very willing to blame him for our current predicament.

The 25 YEAR OLD Shane Ferguson scores 2 for Millwall after God knows how long in the wilderness of Brum, Rangers (didn’t play a single game) and Millwall and suddenly Ryder thinks he might be the saviour of our season. YCMIU

Eric Sykes(Quote)
Next we will be having Kinnear back and asking if we can sign Ferguson from Brum 🙂 Ryder says Ferguson is “rejuvenated” ‘coz he scores a couple of goals. I wonder how many other Millwall games this joke of a journalist has watched to base his opinions on? How many games has Fergy played for Millwall this season?
Eric Sykes(Quote)
Here are some stats for the idiot Ryder on Ferguson:
Starts for Millwall this season: 9
Subs: 7
Goals: 2, a brace in the last but one game after which Ryder decided Fergy was now the answer.
Career goals per game: 0.04
Eric Sykes(Quote)
I hope Ferguson is the second coming of Jamie Vardy but I doubt it somehow. Ryder quotes Fergy as saying he has been working hard on his finishing:
Number of games played: 16
Number of games scored in: 1
Career record of goals per game: 0.04
Please somebody send Ryder to report on the Juniors.

Nobody hopes fergy is another Vardy more than fat Mike.

This is last no-chance saloon for Ferguson, Sammy and Vuckic and still Ryder writes about them as if they will ever see the NUFC first team again. The Whiskey bottle is drained, Mongo has punched their horses and Wyatt Earp is waiting for them at the okey dokey corral.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
The Mitrovic situation is just ridiculous! He has had nothing to feed off apart from aimless hoofs up the pitch. His strengths are in the air and in the box so why aren’t we getting crosses into the box for him to get on the end of? Would also suit Gini too but I guess that’s too much like common sense.
Stuart79(Quote)
STUART Ime sick of saying there is just no type of wing play to help any front line striker no matter who it is but its the striker that gets the stick for not scoring imo we don’t play to any of our players strengths,surely it doesn’t take a great coach to see it
icedog(Quote)
Stu/Ice – the thing is, Mitrovics situation is no different to that of Luuk De Jong when he was with us – he was written off as being ****. We didn’t play to his strengths either and let him go – he’s now at PSV and has scored 31 goals in 44 games … oh what can be achieved when you play to a players strengths 🙄
Sharpy17(Quote)
What’s also ridiculous is we pinning our hopes on Mitrovic 21 and Perez 22 and that’s a lot of weight for young shoulders. How do we resolve that? – well according to the papers this morning we bring Armstrong 18 back from Coventry 🙄 – or if you want to believe the crazy story of the weekend, we spend £22m on the Belgium lad 22 from Marsielle … never going to happen!!
Sharpy17(Quote)
Who would supply the bullets though? We have 2 dedicated wingers – Aaron’s ( always injured and never lasts 90 mins)and Thauvin who has not adapted. The balance of the squad is all wrong. We are overburdened in CM and severely lack cover at full back. I agree Mitro is being unfairly targeted but who do we use to supply him from the wing?
Shamrock(Quote)
Sham – exactly mate. The reality is that Sammy or Fergie could probably provide better service to Mitrovic than anyone else currently in our squad 🙄
That’s why for me he has to stop with this stupid 4-4-2 formation. I want to see Sissoko & Gini in a 3 man midfield with 3 up front in some way. He has Mitrovic, Perez, Cisse, De Jong, Gouffran and Thauvin to use. Between those 6 players there is a trio combo that has to provide a great goal threat and return than what we are getting now.
Sharpy17(Quote)
We have many centre midfielers but all are pretty average. Oh to have Cabaye – he would have been perfect for us, but then again we wouldn’t have got much money back for him when we sold him. Folly!
Stuart79(Quote)
@406 and 407 – agreed. Cabaye would have been perfect to spray the passes around and send balls over the top whilst Gini did the box to box role and Tiote or Colback held the fort. The difficulty there is Janmaat in particular would have to be more positionally disciplined.
Shamrock(Quote)
Stu – I agree with you re Cabaye. But I just think he’s getting it so wrong with Gini & Sissoko. You don’t buy Gini to play him on the left wing IMO. When he’s been in the middle he’s looked so much better. Sissokos strength it picking the ball up and running at people, not beating a full back and crossing the ball into the box. We will always miss Cabaye if we have Anita in there instead, but I think Gini would be far more effective.
If we used Tiote, Colback or even Colo as a holding midfielder, with Sissoko right and Gini left of that 3 man midfield, I think we would immediately look better.
Sharpy17(Quote)
Selling Abeid and Keman look silly now too. They just didn’t like the idea of paying wages to squad players… So short sighted its crazy.
Stuart79(Quote)
Stu – not for me mate. Neither were pulling up trees, Abied was floating round the first team without really putting in a challenge of nailing a spot – and looking what’s ahead of him!, Kemen I don’t think ever featured in the first team squad. Letting them go I don’t have a problem with – not seeing Dele Ali was worth the £5m fee … Now there’s a **** up!!.
Sharpy17(Quote)
I wouldn’t totally rule out Gouffy being picked as a defensive mid. Why else would they try it in the U21s? Their reasoning would be that he wouldn’t have to face Aguero every week. My reasoning for not doing it is that they wanted to loan him out last week 🙂 Desperate times call for desperate measures, but Colo in mid-field makes much more sense if you ask me.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
Looking at what’s ahead of Abeid… Well Anita, Colback, Tiote and ?? We are now in a position where we have to play Gouffran in centre midfield. I can’t believe Abeid isn’t better than him. He played quite well when he got the chance.
The fact remains we seem to have many centre midfielders but none of them are actually any good! None of them can protect the defence and none of them can assist in attack. That’s the main reason we are so **** in my opinion.
Stuart79(Quote)
Stu – and Abied and Kemen weren’t that good either mate. We had s similar conversation when Santon & MYM left. My point is I’m more bothered at the fact we haven’t replaced these players with better rather than letting them go.
To use Spuds as an example, they allowed Paulinho to go in the summer, but had Dele Ali coming in. They let a fringe player go to bring in a first teamer. We should have let Abied & Kemen go and brought Cabaye in for example.
Sharpy17(Quote)
I will probably get shouted down for this but I think it is a no-brainer to bring Armstrong back unless we get Charlie Austin or someone of similar skill and experience. We have so few options that we should possibly sacrifice Armstrong’s long term development for our short term need. In any case, it isn’t a given that playing in the 3rd division is better than training with our first team and getting minutes off the bench. God knows, if he scored a couple he might even start.
I could name a hundred next big things who were loaned out and never pushed on so a loan is no guarantee of success.
In the meantime, we test Seim de Jong to see if he is up for it. I am not that hopeful about Riviere as he only scored one scuffed goal last year.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
Every single thing that happens reminds Mick Quinn of something that happened to him and just so we know he will tell us about it:
http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jamie-vardys-form-certainly-no-10496120?
I think it might be a fluke that Vardy is on this scoring tear. He scored 6 in 36 last year, but good luck to him. The fact that Quinn also had similar runs tells me it is probably a fluke 🙂
Next week Mick reminisces on when the tea lady retired at Coventry City and that caused him to score against Norwich just like Wij did when NUFC’s own tea lady Kath retired.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
And after that Mick Quinn justifies bringing back Nolan for Liverpool because he is scouse and you have to pick horses for courses. And, as Mick will let us all know he knows horses because he trains them.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
I don’t mind Quinn at all I just find it funny that every article he writes has 2 paragraphs on the subject and then 6 about something in his career.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
That’s kind of my point, Sharpy. It is just ridiculous that we let these players go without replacing them. It weakens the squad. Same with Santon and Mbiwa – it nearly got us relegated and it’s happening again. Just incredible negligence.
Stuart79(Quote)
Eric – I honestly think that if the clubs answer in Jan is to bring Armstrong back that will be the straw that breaks my following this shower of shower any longer under this regime like.
Sharpy17(Quote)
Having young, inexperienced players is exactly why we are in this situation.
It goes back to my earlier comments. Why does Ashley insist on buying young potential but then employs an expert in failure to coach them? Surely he would want a top class coach to get the best out of the players and improve them… I suppose it’s like buying a fool by Frankel and the best dam in the world but then asking your local farmer to train it… I really don’t understand his thinking. He isn’t that thick surely…
Stuart79(Quote)
11 games and 17 years since Palace have beaten us, and they’ve just lost to the scum. We absolutely need 3 points against them to get some confidence back.
Newkie(Quote)
Stu – thing is Mbemba and Perez have been our best players this year, and they’re also pretty much our youngest. We’re being let down by “seasoned” pros like Colo, Daryl and Sissoko imo.
Newkie(Quote)
What do people think of the job Peter Beardsley’s doing at under 21 level ?
Stem(Quote)
Stem – poor, but at the same time I think our entire coaching structure is poor, not just beardo’s fault that none of our youngsters ever make the grade these days
Newkie(Quote)
Stem – I understand what you mean by that question, but I think it’s more that just Pedro. The problem you have is the quality of player fed through the academy, and then how the club manage the progression of those young players in terms of loan deals and routes through to the first team squad. Pedro is just the coach of the U21, to my knowledge he doesn’t talent scout or recruit and he has no say in loan deals or influence over the younger lads getting promoted to the senior squad.

Absolutely ridiculous that this saga rumbles on when the club he actually owns is in such ****!!!. Where the **** does this blokes priority lie?!.
Sharpy17(Quote)
Got to admit that was cowardice by Carver really, going against a player he knew the fans disliked when there were plenty of other players playing just as badly. Worse for them because we know Willo is just a poor player, good players playing poorly is a different thing totally.
Klopp has started to settle and has just battered the best team in the league at their fortress, although some were questioning him not long after he arrived 😳
I still hope we get someone new in before the transfer window, but I don’t see it now. We’ll probably stick, get some more bodies in but still hang around the bottom. Then Ashley might throw the dice and get Moyes…….
Newkie(Quote)
Sharpy-sadly his priorities lie with making money, he’s not fussed where it comes from really.
Newkie(Quote)
Newkie – you’re right there mate, but if the fat plank doesn’t tune in to NUFC he’ll find himself loosing a lot more money through us than he’ll make chasing Rangers.
Sharpy17(Quote)
Let’s get a couple of experienced defenders in either from the PL or Bundesliga and see exactly how strong McClaren’s allegiance to Colo is.
I also see that a lot of people are saying put MBabu at left back. He was drafted in as emergency cover and had a week’s intensive training with Simpson for that role. That he performed it well is a miracle. He is our right back cover and maybe we should be calling for him to replace Janmaat and have Daryl play on the wing? Just a thought.
I think it is a better suggestion than Ryder’s idea of bringing in Ferguson to solve all of our problems 🙂
Eric Sykes(Quote)
I am suggesting that Daryl plays on the wing because he does anyway, whatever you call it 🙂
Eric Sykes(Quote)
When Ulloa had 10 yards of space for Leicester’s second goal where was Janmaat? I think he has gone off the boil and needs reminding that he has to defend if he is to keep his place. MBabu only has 2 starts so as usual we have no depth.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
So the coaches and McClaren have had “heated exchanges” with senior players at training. About fucking time! Drop the wankers! Sissoko, Tiote, Colo and Cisse. We couldn’t possibly be any worse but we would certainly have more effort and desire which is a start!
Stuart79(Quote)
Sharpy – very true mate, I’m not sure why he doesn’t cut his losses there, he’s already made money anyway so he should just focus on the bigger picture. But he doesn’t seem like someone who let’s go easily.
Eric – might be an idea, he’s about the only player in our squad who can cross, so leave defending to someone else and maybe mitro will get some decent service. Shame that Mbemba is probably the best right back replacement, he can’t be allowed away from CB because he’s also our best in that position 😆
Newkie(Quote)
Stuart: Schteve getting angry reminds me of what Dennis Healy said about former Chancellor Geoffrey Howe getting angry – “it was like being mauled by a dead sheep”.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
I did read about the big bust up at training ground SM laying into some players for not putting effort in and not caring about club we fans can see that will it help,cannot do any harm imo a few need a toe up the backside,my only thoughts is how true is it as the report is by Edwards
icedog(Quote)
Eric – I bet none of the senior players had the balls to square up to Steve Black though mate. As old as he is now, he’d still bang heads together I reckon.
Sharpy17(Quote)
Ice – it’s certainly what the club would want the fans to hear now isn’t it. A lot of comments on a lot of blogs will have posters writing they doubt McClaren has the minerals – a timely article saying Mc had a go at the players in training is never a bad idea now is it?! 😉
Sharpy17(Quote)
I am not sure it will work Icedog. I am sure they have seen Pards and Carvs go apoplectic and that didn’t help. Saying Steve is a dead sheep in comparison to those two candidates for anger management is an understatement.
Eric Sykes(Quote)
Sharpy @441 – exactly. All well and good saying that, as if he’s being professional and it’s behind closed doors. Why does he constantly look like someone has poured **** into his cornflakes rather than milk in the match though? Sitting there glum when he should be laying into the players then and there, as far as I’m concerned. If you don’t have the stones to do it yourself you need a captain who will do it for you.
Colo isn’t that type of captain. Which again, was Schteve’s call.
Newkie(Quote)
Newkie: who else apart from Colo is guaranteed their place and could be captain? Last year you would have said Janmaat, but not so far this year. There are no other candidates except a newcomer – Wij. Would you follow Sissoko into battle?
Eric Sykes(Quote)
regarding the winger issue, we have tried it all before, we’ve had HBA, Cabella, Thauvin, the permanently injured Aarons and Obertan, we’ve occasionaly had Sammy, and Haidara bombing up the wings, and until he got a major attack of the ****-its Janmaat could be relied on to get down the line. Sissoko is also useful at running at players from wide positions. Doesn’t really sound like a dearth of talent, or not for the want of trying. we have Mitrovic in the middle, but apparently “we’re not playing to his strengths”. our problem is a absolutely gash midfield, and a distinct lack of leadership and effort from the same midfield positions…
Munich Mag(Quote)
SHARPY/ERIC well something somewhere has to be done things just cannot go on in a couldn’t give a **** aittude,or maybe they think well if jabba doesn’t give a **** why bother
icedog(Quote)
Eric – Calrain for me would be Gini. Janmaat needs to hmlearn how to defend as I honestly think we have only 1 good defender from the 4 that started on Saturday. That’s shameful and it won’t get much better as we need two fullbacks and another centre half.
Stuart79(Quote)
But I have said this before, I think this club needs a big name manager who has success to his name. The players seem to be totally lacking in respect for the last three coaches and is it coincidence that none of them are successful? But then again I also believe the players see the manager here as someone who is weak and just toes the party line. How can they discipline a player when the player knows the manager will have no input into whether he stays or goes at the end of the day.
Just so many things wrong – I truly have no idea how this can be resolved quickly. We may have to suffer more pain and that means relegation.
Stuart79(Quote)
Munich – of the players you mention obviously Benny stands out as being the only one with any real quality – or should I say had any real impact (that sounds fairer doesn’t it). But that was more as a right sided forward with Cisse and Ba rather than a ‘winger’
Actually I would only say that Obertan & Sammy would be what you would call wingers. It’s been a long time that we’ve had any real quality in that position IMO.
Sharpy17(Quote)
mail reporting were in for Townsend. Would be perfect in my opinion.
