Kinnear has done an astonishing job.

England job?

ian, i suppose the "absolute worst" is in fact that out of work pardew used his influence as a mate of llamblias to plant seeds in the guys mind that he could do a better job than hughton etc. etc. not saying this happened by the way but it's far from the realms of possibility, much in the same way that people "believe" kinnear was getting pissed in the pub with ashley and talked himself back into a role at the club, and believed his undermining of pardew and return to the managers seat was inevitable Well it's possible I suppose, but it's a big leap to just assume that it's what happened. Anyway, everyone uses their connections to try and get work. It's up to the regime who they give the jobs to. similar leap to assume didn't, no? Well I don't think so, but like I said, it doesn't really matter either way. If he used his connections to get a job then fair enough, that's what you're supposed to do in life. If he actually personally attacked and belittled Hughton then that's obviously bad behaviour, but there's another level of assumption again. You both seem to accept that Pardew and Llambias were friends from before their time here. You're probably right, but can't find out when it was this established? Got an interview or something I can look at. Cheers.

On probably being told that some people, even players like Cabaye and Remy, are now seeing this team as good enough to get into the Champions League. This - “This is Newcastle, we like to raise our expectations, way beyond the realism of where we are at times. It is great at the moment though and I hope our fans are enjoying this, I’m sure they are.” Has caused this. Fucking hell. Amazing. :lol:

Thoughts? He only said last week that we had enough players to field 2 teams. Also, last season we did change most of the team between games more often than not so what difference would a day make. Especially when he complained that players who were dropped for the UEFA were rusty for a league game. Edit. He's full of shit. Bollocks. He has only had two arguements against the Euro league, otherwise he has taken it seriously and despite the toss spaffed on here would clearly be chuffed to see success enough to make it there again. 1. The extended league format is bullshit for the clubs who struggle hard to get there. 2. Our squad was clearly not strong enough to comfortably deal with the added games (hint hint Mr Ashley, though the rewards financially are admittedly fuck all incentive for a chairmal to gamble significantly). Despite much gnashing of teeth, I still haven't found a reasonable argument against either point.

Good grief.

Good goal? Showed on Goals on Sunday it was a deflection. Average goal.

Anita will drop a clanger and it will be the start of a hiding. 3 - 0.

I feel much better after reading that, thanks. Aye that chant must have been grating on you. I'll be surprised if that doesn't come back to bite them on the arse tbh. They were chanting it during the worse points this season and last as well which riled a fair few on here. Rather than biting them in the arse, maybe their patient support could be seen as credible, even admirable?

dunno wba are a good side and its only their 2nd loss away from home (which includes trips to old trafford and stamford bridge) so not sure we should just be killing them off. Its a very good win It's not as if we didn't have chances to put it to bed either. Fkn ref didn't help like.

Reckon you're right, there was certainly a delay. Ben Arfa never made it on, and was cracking up over it. /as was Cisse to be fair to him.

Love him. Showing a real desire and in great form at the moment.

'Free transfers'.

Yup, would be surprised if we were back in for him.

Agreed. We were knocking it around with confidence for long stretches as well. Great to see.

Who?

I thought I was playing FM for a second. I just hope that this won't serve as an excuse for them to stop investing on the first team. It will take money from the clubs coffers, so to be fair it's bound to have an impact on spending elsewhere. Doubt they'd do it if it meant fucking up the first team though.

Still strikes me more as a club ambassador or a Terry Mac type to have around, but would love that to happen too to be honest.

He does it because apparently he's very good at it, but it's a bonus, we don't fall apart without his pre match huddle. Not really all that concerning to exploit one of his strengths as long as he's here/in the team. Love Colo, but he doesn't strike me as much of an orator tbh.

Ambition.

Mad? No. I have a lot of great memories of Shay, but I'm not going to defend him against people who feel let down by his actions. Tbh it's arguably more mad that you seem to show more loyalty to a player who demanded a transfer at a godawful time for us (and not for the first time), and whatever the other factors, almost certainly helped seal our fate that season. Nor does it matter much to many people (I'd suspect) that you think he went to a better club. alreet mate. When did I say it mattered to other people about city? Also at the present time and that time they were/are more aspirational. It's a discussion board, merely putting my point across. Calm down Heh, sorry. Just my opinion like.
