You forgot to mention that Birmingham and Wigan lost and gained no points last night ! Fck me man. Because they were playing other teams in the bottom half. You happy with 4th from bottom? For this season? Yes. Next? No. This shows how far we have fallen - all of you who said "give Souness more time, give Roeder time, ALlardyce will fix us" should be f****** ashamed of yourselves. We should be railing against being in the bottom 5 or 6 (a genuine threat to us now), we should be making SJP not just a bad place to come to for away teams, but a place where players KNOW they have to play well for us. Anyone who accepts s**** like Geremi, Smith, Ameobi, Rozenhal, and even TRIES to make excuses for them should bow their heads in abject shame. he's right. in the past few years we should only have signed proven quality world class players. simple really No, we shoudl have signed better players than we did. And not pretended that players who are at best average are top class. Simple, really. not top class but possibly as good as we could have got at the time. you should be a football manager,you make it sound so easy

meaning he knew it was happening but thought it wouldn't be straight away ?

interesting that spuds seem to be completly ovehauling there back 4 when i always put there defensive weaknesses came from a weak as ace lager midfield ?

aye as i said earlier Spurs ITK reckons we will now sign Chimbonda i was quite happy with the way beye was playing (after initial slow start)

Reckon we will try and get a deal eventually rising to 6 million 4 million plus add ons if true i wonder who is conducting the deal ? do you mean you wonder if keegan wants him?? no i mean if mort or jiminez is doing the negotiations ? (rumours are that mort is out of the country)

"nothing wrong with mickey mouse...he done very well for walt disney"---ally fraser

i work in a business which occasionally hits the front pages and when i read them i think "thats wrong,thats wrong,thats impossible,wrong,wrong,right but not in that sense etc" more through journalists having a short time to get to grips with a subject they basically know nowt about than through malisciousness. football journalism is different. they will lie to fill copy and carry on there personal feuds.

Interesting. Yeah I like the idea of bringing in a lot of young talents... But still we could use an offensive midfielder very soon.... joey barton not offensive enough ?

you'll have to name names as i'm a bit slow

to me it means they will help in the assessing and acquisition of players with keegan. to be fair you could take it either way, depending on if your positive or negative about the idea. more based on i couldnt see keegan stopping more than 1 day if he wasn't the main yes or no in bringing in players

to me it means they will help in the assessing and acquisition of players with keegan.

interesting thatat such a busy time mort is "away". possible new face in ?

where is he quoed as saying he had no idea ? sure he says to ask mort when he returns on weds or thurs.

more speculation. i read he'd be able to split his time between tyneside and buckinghamshire. you don't really needto be on tyneside to check on a player in france.

There isn't time remember. KK has to vet all players individually which will take the best part of the next decade. We don't need to be rash etc..yada yada.. lol Yes no point in signing players now and taking a gamble, we might as well wait 5 years to get people in, do with what we've got as they are great. KK needs to have a Czech season ticket and attended at least 50 of their games to figure out if this guy is a good player first. We might get him in before he retires with a bit of luck. or maybe they are trying to get him and others but they don't really like going to the press day after day telling about players we couldn't get. do you think we find ot evrything that is happening ? do you thik it is good for the club to be so public about it's targets and failed attemopts ?

Winter is NOT anti-NUFC as a matter of course - he was very pro-us in the 90s and I have no doubt that he made the comments about the new off-field set-up because they were his genuine thoughts on the matter. I actually share some of his reservations although I think its too soon to say it will end in tears - nevertheless, the potential for that is there as most people can see..... pro us in the 90's ? as were most of the press. do you think if we were in the top 4 this would be seen in the same light ?

at meadow lane if our record with young euro talent is anything to go by

What is strange is that KK said he would back by thurs. natch....last day of the month is pay day

in the short term if we avoid relegation and the play gets better keegan will be safe. in the longer term,given the resources results will come more in to play. as for mourinho,at porto he had arguably that nations biggest club at the time,at chelsea he could buy almost whomever he wanted. i'm still not convinced about his talent. if he takes the valencia job as rumoured and he doesn't have the world to spend we'll find out a lot more about him.

when he said "certainties" he meant as in they are certainties to fit straight in if we can get them, not we are certainties to sign them.

How do you know? probably a stag doo
