Fuck you, smith.

Doubt that very much. Really!?

Keegan to adopt a 3-5-2 with an all-Senegal back line. You heard it here first.

haaaaaaahahahahahhaaha how shit do you have to be.

If it's Smith I might just fucking snap.

Taylor in goal, I've seen it all now.

7, draw with liverpool

Rather than make a new thread I'd ask this thread; what's the consensus on Duff? Should he start in place of milner, zog or not at all? I think he's looked like a better player the past few, but didn't vote for him. Would have him on the bench though.

I think Cacapa would make fewer mistakes, but not happy with either choice tbh.

the hell it would. I can assure you that even now they are warming up the phrases "papering over the cracks" and "false dawn."

17 shots (9 on target) 14 corners.

Thread title change to Post Match suicide watch from page 20 please. feeling very ill right now.

Please let this be the end of Smith.

Dear Santa Let me hit F5 on this thread again and be greeted with 40 new replies of "GEEEEETTTTT IIIINNNNNNNN" Love, Me.

Holy wall of text. Still, nice to hear it even if it won't shut others up.

I know we're short in numbers and quality but I don't think this is the answer. From 04-08 he's played 67 games. That's a grand total of 7 more than Woodgate has. So he's either been forced out of action from injury or not being good enough. I wouldn't be happy taking on a player under either of those circumstances.

I don't know, 5 sounds about right really, when/if you consider that top drawer players bring out the best in those around them.

These are the dumbest 3 pages I have ever read, no question about it.

The bottom line is we need a lot of quality improvements in a lot of areas if we're seriously thinking about challenging for Europe again any time soon. While developing homegrown talent that will be "good enough" one day is great and all (edit: and trust me, I really, really would love seeing this) it doesn't address the immediate issue, so spending "big" AND "well" on known talent is a must. There's no way around it.

Worse? I seem to recall him at least scoring the odd goal or two.

The mistake was starting him there in the first place.

The phrase "you can't polish a turd" springs to mind. What I see out there is largely shite players playing to their best under keegan -- it was never going to be good enough.

fucking hell.

Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast!

I wonder why Shepherd would agree to that Chairing Newcastle to the average 5th best league finish over the last 10 years was reward enough I suppose.
