Newcastle have lost 2-0 against Man United today putting pressure on boss Graeme Souness. Newcastle have got of to a terrible start to the new season and already people are predicting that Souness will get the sack. Goals from Wayne Rooney and Ruud Van Nistelrooy sunk Newcastle and new striker Albert Luque who they signed during the week for £10million failed to make an impact. Man United maintained their 100% record for the season as they look to win back the title from Chelsea, Charlton also maintained their 100% record for the season with a 3-0 win away from home against Middlesborough who played terrible.

Souness to be sacked?

I think Souness is definitly one of the favourites to be the first Premiership manager to get the sack along with Portsmouth manager Alain Perrin. I saw during the week in the paper that Souness is 5/4 to be the first Premiership manager to get the sack, having said all that this is a good win for United and I'm sure Sir Alex will be delighted that both of his strikers were on the scoresheet. Charlton are looking good so far this season and boss Alan Curbishley will be looking for it to carry on as they go in search of Europe.
