That was poor but Spurs could change it from the bench. We're basically stuck with the XI we've got out there.

Expect a leveller in the second half..

Brian Marwood. Born in Seaham. 100% Mackem.

Get up man you soft twat.

16749 Fact? No. I think I mis-counted.

16749

That's exactly what I was thinking. Duff could always come off the bench and use his explosive pace and clinical finishing...

You'd have to be crackers to go and put about £100 on a manager getting a certain job. Based solely on a rumour anyway.

Not a big fan of his, I assume?

Wonder if the Boro fans are saying he should be banned for 10 or 12 games?

Nice footage of the Heddlu 'restoring order' at Swansea tonight. Dear me.

No, thanks.

Good stuff. Always backed Sheff U since this all began. West Ham stayed up purely because of a player who had no right to be playing. The system works, yet again.

Cos no-one reads stickies...

we'd have a discontented manager who has been undermined by a board that will spend no money, working with a squad he's not happy with. What we'd have is us looking forward to this situation blowing up in the future rather than having had it already happen. It was going to happen sooner or later, regardless of the manager, so we may as well have gotten it out the way. it may be that Keegan would've refused to co-operate with his coworkers, became deliberately intransigent and held on a matter of months for the sack in order to get his £2m. But he's not that sort of character, which is why what has happened was always going to happen when the system started becoming more important than the manager. There's an awful lot of assumptions as to what would have happened in there but fair enough. Keegan has a track-record of leaving people he supposedly cares about in the shit rather than try to find a solution. He's done it to us twice, Fulham and England. But he's Kevin Keegan so it's fine. He's right and his actions are beyond reproach. We disagree but I'm not falling out with anyone over it. I think I'll take a bit of a break from this place too tbh.

I'm disappointed with him walking out but I can totally understand why he did it. I also can't see how he's in the wrong in any way despite the desperation of some to paint him as the bad guy. I reckon the state of the squad speaks for itself tbh. Keegan was being asked to work miracles with his head, not Dennis Wise's, on the block. Really? I think the squad, when fully fit, is stronger now than last season too. I can understand him walking out but not on September 2nd. If he wasn't happy with the set-up, he should have walked straight away imo. Just my opinion btw and if people don't agree then that's fine with me.

Wonder where we'd be if Keegan had soldiered on and not walked out three weeks ago? The amount of people who freely admit to not knowing what happened this summer, but back Keegan 100% regardless is frightening. They have already decided he is right simply because of who he is.

How on earth did Man U end up with 7 yellow cards.

Poor goalkeeping. Should be dealing with balls in like that.

I'd like to revise my prediction from 3-2 to 5-2.

I think it'll be quite open. Quite a few goals but I think they'll win. 3-2.

Nothing wrong with his comments. Can't see any reason why Ashley would buy us and try to fail on purpose. Clearly it hasn't worked out but I think he wanted to make a go of the club.

Haven't we been through this already?

I'd like to know as I would then owe one of them an apology as I've blamed then both at times, the best result for me would be for me to be able to blame both. Amen.
