15 Things We Learned From Newcastle Vs. Portland Timbers 2

9. United Can Stoop To The Lowest Of Lows

Yoan Gouffran, a man that hasn't warranted a place in United's match-day squad never mind its first team for well over a year-and-a-half now, was handed the captain's armband during the second half on Wednesday morning. Does it get any worse than that? For those of you who didn't see the game live just picture the sight of the most ineffective, dull, sub-standard and downright pointless player of Newcastle's recent history with the armband. It was a sickening sight and something The Magpies' fans simply cannot afford to get used to.
