madras

do you want him to have a go at players he may have to try and get the best out of for a little while yet. remember what all his ex players about him giving them confidence and how often do you hear him have a go at anyone in the press ?

i'm panicing slightly. the press will have a field day if we get turned over. who will he play in centre midfield alongside n'zogbia....barton, rozenhal ? is there anyone else....kazenga ? i'm looking forward to the boro game more than this.

Good journo. He's from up here as well. it's not positive press,it's just press,now we aren't on our uppers they'll be up our arses again. d'you think ashley would have got slagged off for sitting with the fans and wearing the stripes if we were top of the league and spending wads ? no! he'd a been a "charcater" . i hope he remembers and fucks the press off big style at some point.

wonder if keegan burger's will come back

does he still know the game ? he was always prone to hyperbole so the idea that he hasn't watched a game in 3 years could fall in to this. does he know who is good retc ? as above the football that is the norm ? would deschapmps know ? is boltons or arsenal the norm for this league. ? pass and move with good players will win more than lose and be entertaining does he know the transfer market ? £5mill for chopra. £18mill for bent...who the fuck does know the market. new ideas ? in my view, he got swept up by the whole managership thing,trying to be too tactical instead of doing the basics.

Why the heck did you post my internet details for? They're not yours. It's an IP range. And why did you post an IP range? To show people the effort you go to every time you log in. bastards....just spat out beer laughing at that exchange

loads of geordies in singapore (i know 2 working out there)

Same, haha. I'm checking footy sites daily for any news at the mo and its wearing me down. Whomever is chosen is going to get backed by Mike but it looks as if there'll be no new players in this window so I guess its summer spending only. chill man. ride it out. we've been here before and been let down. hopefully this time is different. but it's pointless getting too worked up over every bit of speculation

Yeah,but one thing stays the same,both of them taste rubbish like.

How anyone can say the sacking of a manager who persuaded his chairman to part with 6 million for a player with an upcoming criminal trial, who is then s**t on the pitch and gets himself arrested again is 'a bit unfair' is beyond me. Sam took a massive risk with Barton and it predictably backfired. That alone should've been good enough reason to dismiss him. not forgetting the "not infear of relegation" bit .......6 points and dropping

the way robson tells it the successes were his buys,the flops were someone elses. who'd a thought it. and if true none of them had the bottle to stand up (for this reason i find it hard to believe)

Brilliant! You could have saved yourself a lot of typing though mate and just used this smilie -> you're going to marry that smiley. you love it

McDermott - "Hey Mark, look at this - If you mix the yellow pen with the red, it goes orange!" Viduka - "That's dynamite Terry, must dash." substitute it with "must amble about"

yes i can confirm you've just had a text saying keegan was at St James's now.

hilarious...we spend pages and pages slagging off the press as know nothing rumour mongers, then spend more pages and pages earnestly discussing their rumours.

I must be honest, I really don't know how to answer a question like this. Particularly as Arsenal have been more successful than Chelsea in the last decade. OK ne5 you pick the time frame you want . did he say the last decade...no.. he said recently and we all know the timeframe he means

On what basis? The shares at purchase were £140m and are now I guess not quoted. The club is worth whatever figure he wants to sell it for. If someone wants to pay £250m then fair enough but I can't see it happening which is why he has to expand it by being successful. If we were bought for £140m, and has absolved £100m of debts, wouldnt that be added to the value of the club? A high percentage of that £100m was for stadium debts, which now belongs to us outright, so wouldnt that asset be added to the value? yes and no..... now the only value is what someone else will pay for it

lets slag off terry mac because we dont know what he does. sense should tell you slag off someone when you know what they do

what have klinsman been doing the last couple of years ? but him now going to manage munich bayern

only words though It's only words, but words are all he has, to take our hearts away. put that to music and you'd have a hit

only words though................as yet

How can you be quite so spell-bindingly naiive? why cant we all be somewhere inbetween....like me ? (thats about the footy argument...no sexual inuendos please~)
