What more do you want him to do? He's won the UEFA Cup and Champions League with Porto on a limited budget, I don't care if it's easier to win tournaments than leagues, it was a remarkable effort, he then went to Chelsea with a huge amount of money at his disposal of course, he was up against Arsenal and Manchester United who had top sides as it is and won the league twice in consecutive years along with the Carling Cup (Twice) and the F.A Cup. I don't think he could have done any better. To be called the best manager in the world, I think he does have to prove more.
-
Well Porto also won their league with him too lol. Not sure what else you want him to prove really. He's proven he can win on the biggest stages with small or large budgets. That's why I consider him the best maanager in the world. The Portuguese League? Forgive me if I don't sent him a congratulatory telegram. This is what I don't get. Best manager in the world for winning the Premiership with £300m? Oh yes, and the Champions League against Monaco, clearly better than Wenger. We've gone slightly off on a tangent mind.
-
Ah the old Porto argument. How many times have we seen it's much easier to win a tournament than a league? Why don't we get that bloke who won the European Championships with Greece? If Paul Scholes' perfectly legit goal against Porto had counted, they'd have been out. Not saying Mourinho's not a top class manager or anything, cos he quite clearly is and I'd love him at NUFC, but the way some people go on, you'd think he was untouchable. He's not on Wenger's planet for example, or Fergie's for that matter.
-
Money helps. We've got money. Funny how no-one ever says that about Mourinho though isn't it?
-
Kevin Keegan had us leading the Premiership from day one for 35 games. I fail to see how that tallies with some "Geordie Nation" tripe as if he's some no-hoper whose only credential is some tenuous link to the club. Tbh I know it's not really a good idea, but I hardly think he's a worse bet than, for example, Mark Hughes. What's he done, got his team to 7th or something? Whoopee.
-
Didn't you say something similar when Pav came back? Probably. Would have worked too if Kevin Nolan hadn't shoved Ramage in the back and sent everyone into hysterics.
-
Say what you like about Keegan being finished and being shit with England, but he's never ever failed in club football. Left every club a much better state than he found it. I might go for a cold shower or something.
-
I know it's wrong. But it just feels right. I think I'm going mad.
-
Said it before, I'll say it again: take their press passes away.
-
I'd fucking wet myself. Can't see it.
-
I did agree with Gavin Peacock to an extent - Shearer and/or Keegan would get the confidence and the excitement going again, which is half the battle. Don't think they should be first choice by any means but I'd rather them than anyone else with a British passport.
-
great isnt it. i also love being told im happier losing 4-3. they havnt got a clue man. I'm really gonna have to start having a notepad when I watch TV. So let me get this straight: - We demand instant success - Want all out, champagne football - We want Shearer as manager - We'd rather lose 4-3 than win 1-0 - We'd rather win the FA Cup than the league Always had a shit defence.
-
We're still clamouring for Shearer. I love being told what I think.
-
His strength is yet to be seen? Players were bouncing off him yesterday.
-
In the rules bit? I caught our name, what did it say? "Newcastle fans must always be under the impression that theirs is the biggest club in the world." Boring cliched fucking arseholes.
-
Anyone notice that pathetic snipe at us on MOTD2?
-
Yep just look at this inspirational video... http://www.soccercircus.com/

How easy it must be to slag off the fans who actually go and watch the dross every week.
-
Impressive Wrexham - Swansea - Newcastle No doubt that he's got the Swans playing good stuff, the fans love him down here, but he is to them what Keegan was to us - former player makes glorious return as manager. Wrexham were no great shakes under him. He's never managed Wrexham.
-
I want to know why so many people think it was 6-1. Most people who mention it to me appear to believe that was the scoreline. Was I the only one left in the ground when Shola scored?
-
Custis is a proper twat. I agree you wouldn't know he's a Newcastle fan from the amount of shit he stirs.
-
It's not one or the other really though. As mentioned, Arsenal win plenty and Keegan would have too if he'd stayed on imo.
-
Arsenal went through a whole season without losing a game. That's pretty clinical if you ask me. If Arsene had the money that the Chelsea managers had at their disposal, they would be unstoppable. The man is a total footballing genius.
