its tragic. i have half a mind to drive up to newcastle, punch keegan in the face and then show him why we can do it. Sam Allardyce, would have been content, to stay in the shadow of the top 4, play his mediocre brand of football, settle for mid table zzzzzzzzzzzzzz That is why he is not the type of manager I want at Newcastle. Keegan, is not happy in the shadow of the top4, That is why he is the type of manager I want at Newcastle. Repeating that line over and over again doesn't make it more right. I think it needs repeating to some of the thick heeds on here Remember why Keegan left the first time? Because the club was floated, and his share option wasnt what he thought it would be. I believe. That after, 1st, 3rd, 6th, 2nd, 2nd, ... you gonna complain about those league finishes? Ahh, I remember you're quite difficult I'm making the point that Keegan's ambition could always go the other way and be a bad thing for us. If he feels that the club cannot match his ambition, he'll walk.

Allardyce left Bolton because they wouldn't give him the money to take them any further so that's bollocks. So you would prefer SA as toon manager? Read that 4 times now and still can't see where he said that.

Nice one, you just saved Jol the trouble of ever posting again. Good work. Delete his account now seeing as he has no need to post.

Hes just p!ssed off, cos he saw on monday what he is up against, and Mort hasnt given him enough money. This is the type of manager, I want at newcastle,----- one isnt happy, that we are way behind the likes of Chelsea. Didn't we offer £16 million for a player even though the season hasn't finished yet? If Keegan thought he was going to come in here and be given enough money to compete with Chelsea straight away then he's a bigger idiot than I ever imagined. You preferred Allardyce's patter? You certainly did. Over Keegan? You're imagining things mate, go and waste a few hours finding a quote to back that up. I was alarmed at the direction the club was taking, thought it was a risk, nothing more. You complained about Allardyce being full of shit, all Keegan has done is say it as he sees it. You want to make a paypal bet on the top 4 next season? I'll have the current 4, which ones do you want? Are you, and many other posters, missing the point here? We all know that the current top 4 will once again be top 4 next season, but for a manager of Newcastle United to come out and say that we'll not play Champions League football during his time here is completely the wrong message to send out to potential signings. Baggio isn't saying that Keegan should claim we will win the league. If anything, Keegan should say nothing at all, and I can't for the life of me see a reason for his outburst.

Bolton's been shit this season. I don't think Diouf has looked any worse than a good but disillusioned player showing up in a side he doesn't want to be in. He's been absolutely awful this season. One of the reasons why Bolton have been shit.

Or maybe, just maybe, this is true for once?

I would agree with that, as long as he does something about it other than moan to the press.

was he an idiot when he went 7 games unbeaten, He hadn't made them at the time so obviously not, he wasn't an idiot when we got bummed by the decent teams either before you start. keegan knows what he is doing, we went through all this in 1992, then, 1st, 3rd, 6th, 2nd 2nd. Means nowt though, does it? I reckon he'll do well here but he'll be bucking the trend of managers going back to old clubs if he does. Walter Smith's doing alright like. Is he? You knew what I meant though. Past achievements at a club guarentee very little 2nd time round. Who says going back should not be done ? I dont get the reasons for that statement. If you repeat this never go back idea enough times do you think it will start to sound true. Where is the evidence to back it up. As i see it going back to somewhere familiar should give a better chance of success than going somewhere that you have no experience of. but perhaps I am missing the point. Just saying dont go back is not enough on its own no matter how many times it is repeated. Who says going back should not be done Graham Taylor, Howard Kendall, Alan Ball, Hector Cuper, Claudio Ranieri, Mick Buxton etc etc etc etc

It means, ---what motivated Keegans speech on sky sports, He will not settle for being an also ran, never did as a player , never did here as a manager. He wont settle for being an also ran Now, at least not without a fight. For me, This is exactly the type of Man I want as Newcastle manager. Not happy with being an also ran. Unless he realises that he'll always be an also ran with us?

Still, at least we know now not to get excited about any "big-name" signings in summer.

You seriously think that? The fact that Man United/Chelsea/Arsenal dominate the league doesn't stop me watching other football. I do think it's fair to say the public are probably very near to the limit of what they're prepared to pay on a monthly basis for the coverage. Especially as it's easier and easier to get it via 'other' means. I don't think that's down to the monopoly though, more down to the stupid prices and free coverage on the net.

That's probably the worst idea I've read about how to change football. I assume from your name that you're American? Clubs in this country should be enhancing their academies, not getting rid of them.

I expect we'll finish 9th - 11th. I think we should be aiming for top 7 though.

Sorry, 8. I'll find the quote from Mort regarding talking to Owen in summer in a bit.

You've clearly never watched either Jimmy Bullard or league football. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Not saying we should get in but we can do alot worse than him, at least his set pieces beats the first man Oh course we could do a lot worse than him. We could do a lot worse than Andy Reid too, but should we sign him? We need players to improve the team, not give us half a dozen squad players.

Women have their own trophies otherwise they have no chance of winning. You might claim "if they're good enough, why not?", well it's because they're not good enough. There isn't a woman on this planet in the history of Wimbledon who could have won the mens title. Same goes with football. Men and women aren't equal, no matter how many people claim they are.

Keegan asked Ashley 6 weeks ago to sort Owen's contract out. They haven't approached him yet and will be doing it once the season is over. By all accounts Owen wants to sign.

Our shape was OK until Smith came on but most of our players were guilty of giving the ball away far too easily and it's something we've done all season. Geremi, Butt and Barton are probably the main ones for that but most were guilty today, even Baye who is normally OK. I think Chelsea bullied us today and we couldn't cope. I know it doesn't really matter, but you do it every time you mention him. It's BEYE, not Baye.

He'd have about 5 if you take away all the deflections and the ones that go in off his arse and balls (Ronaldo that is). Oh God, here we go. Exactly the same line used against Lampard. Seems if people don't like a player, it's impossible for him to score "good" goals.

They've had 7 manager in the last year. Hardly his fault.

Look HTT, we clearly know better than you. Do you want advice on anything else whilst we're here? Aye, how would I go about telling someone they are a cunt, without getting myself banned? Do it on Toontastic. It's HTT though, so we'd probably ban him. Yeah, fair point.
