madras

decent game, the whinging and rolling about from 70mins on was annoying but it was tight with a high tempo. better spectacle than a slow slow quick slow slow. also a better game than these 2 have served up domestically.

i'm in profit

aye he was here,sheff wed and eire but not at boro

funny how money changes your desires. i'd took ronaldo & 1-0 so when tevea got his toe to rooneys cross i sighed with relief as it went wide.......now it's 1-1 and i also have man utd to lift the trophy so now i wish they'd scored.

ronaldo 1-0 (23) man utd to lift trophy (1.86) ronaldo to score in 90mins (3.1)

all managers have missed targets. sure allardyce said that was the reason but he was well known for using excuses to hide his defficiencies. mort naivety may well have been the reason but i guess we'll never know for sure.

the stories were in both cases we offered higher transfer fees and better personal terms.

couldn't argue with him about it...he was there.

Low door frames at the training ground, I hear. nah, bobby said we had the best door frames in the league he meant goal posts. you know what he was like

good riddance i wont if you wont

devious old bugger but i cracked his code. :lol: well done btw, takes a fair bit of balls to say things like that. he's known of me long enough to know the way in which it was meant. or do you mean i may get letter bombs from womblemaster ?

NE5 if you stop so will i.....but if you could pop over to general chat and have a word with haswell.......................

have to agree.

2 month to run concurrently is my guess. sees him out in july.

nose clean...out in 2 months just in time for pre-season (if not sacked)

real madrid now i think. don't know if he gets a game.

quite impressive what Ince has done mind. I was only fairly impressed up until I actually saw MK Dons play and I was stunned because they actually play some very good football and they got away with it and indeed dominated with it in the rough and tumble world of the lower leagues. That guy has serious potential. He's not just a shouter and motivator by any means, which is probably what I expected him to be due to his personality when he played. I've seen very few people have such an impact. Ferguson, Clough, Shankly etc all did.....giants of the managerial game, very early days to put him in that bracket, but one to watch for sure. As everyone will be doing. If they play pass and move football, then that is the type to play at the highest levels. What about Mowbray ? Has done it at a higher level than Ince, also successful with Hibs and has done it by playing attacking football.. Would rather have him to replace KK in 3 years' time(he will be 47 then)than Ince and I reckon he will have made his mark with WBA before then ; as a NE born lad, he would be a better bet as NUFC manager. lets see how ince and mowbray and others are doing when we need a new manager. not now.

has drenthe pushed on to getting a regular place or has he burnt out ? He hasn't made the squad. looked so good a little while ago.like heitinga. starts so well then dies off (i know heitinga is still making the national squad but he doesn't look near to what he was a couple of years back)

can't happen (i think) due to the way the draw has worked out. I thought all combos could happen (not sure like) because the half of the draw you would go into is affected by whether you come 1st or 2nd. They're both s**** like, which could get in the way. git your wall chart out. You're reet, they can't meet (in the final). told you so,i'm in the know. it's why i've backed germany (easiest group and hopefully czech rep in the quarters then lay them off for a guarnteed profit)

should have a poll

has midds checked to see if we canpost these fixture

going off what i've read (only seen him play once and he never stood out) he is the full package. technique,pace,strength. acn go alone and bring others in and feed off. good in the air and on the deck.
