No KK at half time, excellent I'll see im when I can get there on Saturday

Reds are instantaneous I believe. Not if you appeal

He got bailed again, so I'm assuming he'd be allowed to play. There is talk of 'conditions'. Even if allowed he's not ready for first team football his mind will be all over the place. I'd get shot of him.

Best way to defend is to attack, it's been said so many times. If the ball isn't in our half they can't score, very simple.

Is cacapa going to be our new Philippe Albert

CACAPA Wahooo Is Cacapa our new Albert

Firstly lets be honest has our defence been any good in the last 10 years from Dalglish to Big Sam ? No is the answer. Now stop believing the press, we conceded 2 goals more than Man U in the season when we finished 2nd, that's hardly the sign of a bad defence.

I'm assuming the guy is currently suspended from work without pay while this is all going on ? Or is that asking to much........

I'd heard he had been trying to push through the press for Ashley to try and take him on while he was on holiday. Looks like that may be true.

I've have no problem with the "dream team" it would certainly be entertaining if nothing else and KK has always done well with pots of cash at his disposal.

I've updated the prediction league with yesterdays results and added Stoke and Bolton. Can't add past that until we know whether we have beaten Stoke or not. http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcpredictionleague/

Why ?

It'll be getting the set ready for the show at 12 for this afternoons matches.

Why is everyone expecting him to come up here, chances are Mort will be in Manchester ready for tomorrows game they will probably meet there

A Portsmouth fan has posted this on the Rivals boards "There is the usual media briefing at the training ground today ahead of Sundays clash with sunlun. IT IS NOT a special conferance called by Arry or for him to announce anything...it merely is the usual media meeting that would normally be held on Thursday. ...Arry was at the training ground at 0830am sharp today and saw Roger Johnson from Solent."

Could one of the reasons we may have gone for him be to keep Owen. Taken from another forum "Speaking before Redknapp's Portsmouth thrashed Newcastle 4-1 at St James' Park in November, Owen said: "Harry has done a fantastic job building a strong squad. "He is a very good manager who has done fantastically well at lots of clubs. "He's had to wheel and deal and been very successful at it. "But I'm sure that if you gave him a lot of money, he'd spend it wisely as well. Some people have got that knack."

You don't like someone's opinion of what will happen so you resort to calling them a tit, and yet you question other peoples IQ

That's simply bollocks though. Newcastle fans like most fans at Premiership clubs had a go at the team and manager after a massive defeat (in fact it was two big defeats in two straight games). The press picked up on it and made a massive point saying we wanted shot of the manager. Games went on and Sam was actually being chanted for, away fans sang sacked in the morning, Shearer etc and the press said it was the Newcastle fans who were very unhappy to be honest the majority of Newcastle fans although they hated the crap football didn't mind to much if we got success in the future and were willing to wait at the very least until the end of the season alot were saying next season to see how things improved. The owner then sacked him. Fine sack the manager at this time of year if you have a great replacement lined up to take over straight away. Unfortunatly by the sounds of things we don't. We have Harry Redknapp, a manager who has won nothing in 25 years of football and is currently on bail with allegations of taking bungs for players. This is not the sort of manager we want and who the hell would want that type of manager ? I'm not daft enough to say get shot of the board but at the minute he's doing very similar things to the last inept chairman so hopefully that will change. As for who would take over the job, there are plenty of managers we just need to look outside of the UK. Look at Wenger he was relatively unknown before he joined us surely we can find someone out there in the big wild world other to take over the club and work it from the bottom up with a long term plan. Great examples of the media making something out of Newcastle fans when there is nothing there http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=48738.msg546491#new

To be honest there seems to be that many people who apparently know something is happening with him that it would seem very unlikely he wasn't the target. Granted we may not get him but I still believe he is the one we are trying to get that many papers and news teams don't get it that wrong most of the time.

For example £50m and Souness

Surely though there are better managers in the world than him who would sign for us ?!?

Hasn't Redknapp actually achieved less than Sam as he's not won a trophy at all ?

He'll not go in the summer because most teams when they are taken over by new management go on a run of a few wins (like Roeder) the fans then get excited and predict top 4 finish the next season, we then falter and end up mid table, fans get on back and the manager gets sacked. Cycle begins again.

Again another naive view. Stats don't tell the whole story. Portsmouth are excellent going forward but teams now know that when they play at Fratton Park if they try to attack they will lose. 11 men behind the ball for 90 minutes is all teams are doing when they go to Portsmouth. When Portsmouth play away and teams attack them they tear them apart. Your now telling me Harry is tactically inept that he can't work a way round a team who chooses to defend for 90 mins christ even Sam could manage that one the majority of games.
