My mate had a fiver on 4-0, if mackem twat Liam Lawrence is found deed today then it was him what done it He also had Duff first scorer each way, so if Duff had scored one of the first 3 he would have collected on that as well, poor bloke

Not bothered really, I don't think it'll have much bearing on our sucess under KK - long term though he's going to be the big cheese one day and as I don't think he's going to have a stab at the lower leagues first he might as well get some experience under Kev. Also hopefully it will mean our next managerial appointment will be a smooth transition of power with king Kev abdicating and Al taking the reigns without the usual clusterfuck circus playing havoc on everyone's blood pressure

Owen's first goal in 3 months!

So Bolton the league debut for two of our managers within the same season. Sure that's going to be a trivia question one day.

4-3.

I'm off down the pub any rate.

All these fucking post Keegan bandwagon jumpers still queuing for tickets.

Game delayed by 15 mins

that would be class Halftime at the Stoke game, KK rides a helicopter into St. James Park. He walks on to the pitch, fans start going mental, KK starts speaking and suddenly after a dramatic pause... somebody shouts "Look! Up in the sky!" A second helicopter is slowly making its way onto the pitch, and KK speaks into the mic "Let me take a moment to introduce my new backroom staff, starting with my assistant manager. You might have met him before..." Yes ladies and gentlemen - Terry! Mac! Dermmooooottttt!

If we win though he's only, what, four games away from a trophy?

Sounds like a fucking brilliant way to prepare to come back to us lot

I was on an early shift today and fell straight in bed, only to be woken up two hours later by a phone call saying "I'm on the metro, is it Keegan? Just heard from someone it's gonna be Keegan" Didn't read too much into it because usually about 12 hours after, say, the Houlier story broke then faded this guy would text me saying "Just heard it's gonna be Houlier!" So I replied "Dunno, heard rumours about him being up here for talks but heard loads of rumours today." Hung up and saw I had 4 messages. Uh-oh, Spaghetti O's. That might partially explain my reaction, which was pretty much this - Now it could be worse, some of the names I'd heard would have given me a reaction more akin to or It does reek of a safe, mong-pleasing appointment (maybe a bit like the appointment of Roeder in that respect) and while I'm disappointed after Houlier and Deschamps have been linked I'm more excited by it than I would be with Hughes or Redknapp. That said, it does have more of a possibility of going cataclysmically wrong than those two. Fuck it, we've got to get behind him and lets hope we can reignite some of that spark. It does though feel a lot like we're romantically living the past and it's doomed to disappointment.

Perfect time to announce it like, there's going to be charvas getting Keegan tops printed as we speak (probably paid for by SSN)

Tell him they can go to Shiremoor school in a thick geordie accent. Chez moi? C'est bon. When can I start zis job?

For some reason I read the topic like Snap's 1990 number one "The Power"

Maybe we are, but none of them are willing to come and wrestle with this car crash of a club at the moment? We may well have to settle with someone who has enough of a hunger to manage a team like us in this league that they're willing to take on the huge baggage that comes with this job and out of those we could do much worse than Houllier with Al as his assistant.

Souness, Gullit and Dalglish won trophies. None of them lasted long. It would be funny if we appointed a manager who was sacked by Liverpool for almost exactly the same reasons Sam was. In spite of what the media would have you believe, our expectations are not nearly as high at the moment as the Scousers were then.

Never mind Ashley, I reckon you need to get your cheque book out and back us in the transfer market if he comes.

Well the fans were still split on Sam when we were losing while conceeding about 2 or 3 every game.

First apparent progress on an appointment I'd be happy with. There's certainly other managers I'd be more excited by but at the moment I'd take Shoulier now rather than gambling for what's in the box.

I'd be very fucking happy with a GH/AS combo, considering some of the other options we could end up with. Certainly take it above Redknapp, Hughes, Jol, Keegan or a lone Shearer appointment.

"We're all having a great time with this on Sky Sports News". Fuck off David Craig.

Talking about Houlier on SSN now. GH's reps have confirmed they would welcome contact from Ashley. AO says Shearer has said he would like to work with GH. GH's people indicate he would like to work with Shearer. GH apparently in "informal discussions" now.

Right, if that's true and we end up with some British plank then Ashley wants shot with shit.
