1 min: Newcastle United 0-0 Nottm Forest Kick-off! We’re under way at St James’ Park and, most likely, in the other three games as well.

The moment is near for the action. The sports network are displaying all four fixtures on a single screen, a initial for their English top flight broadcasts, but it’s a bit overwhelming and it's hard to follow, so we'll likely toggle between the games.

This date in 1997 … Patrick Berger gets a three goals against the coach's Chelsea.

“Intriguing to see that the team's training gear are tan, a indication perhaps of their bland displays and outcomes since ‘Large’ Ange took the helm,” says a fan. “But honestly, what was he considering, accepting the owner's offer? Or did he take it by accident?”

It was perplexing, because he must have known it would take time to establish such a major transformation of approach. Maybe he was keen to FURB Spurs.

Newcastle United against Nottingham Forest

“Honestly, mate, I wouldn't say Forest have been bad under Postecoglou,” states a viewer. “The results are a little misleading: having observed a few of their matches, they’ve either been really hard done by, missed chances or had all their players (including their keeper), along with substitutes, all the coaching team, the team bus driver, the club mascot and the tea lady all advanced for a (near) corner in the final moments of a match.

“I’m not Ange’s biggest fan for a several factors*, but I’m truly concerned of Forest’s offensive strength (including on their substitutes). There may be a few twists and turns in this one.

* He declined my ‘connection request’ on LinkedIn.”

I don't understand the manager being under so much pressure. He's only been in charge less one month. The single justifiable explanation for sacking him at this point would be if he slagging off Brian Clough’s trademark attire, and in that case a open statement would likely be enough.

The Toffees against Crystal Palace

“A beautiful day at this beautiful venue for two respectable sides playing,” comments a reporter. “Talking to some Crystal Palace fans on the way up, they were predicting a difficult fixture, but concurred with me that JP Mateta is the difference.

“However, reassuring to feel anticipation rather than dread... for now.”
