Aye, i bet he smashed his TV over his head when the result came though on Sky Sports.

I think with so many team fighting not to get the last spot (i think Derby & Fulham are certain now) i reckon something as low as 34-36pts would see you clear of relegation. I also reckon 18pts out of our remaining fixtures is what we will get.

Milner & Owen are fast...if they were in a slug race, on the pitch playing football, neither lack any real place i'm afraid, and one of them's entire career was built around that and its gone.

Nah, just rested. Should play on Thursday. Not what I'm hearing. 'A few weeks on the sidelines'. Itk's are full of rubbish tbh. Well said (especially spuds ones)

I think there are a lot of myths surrounding KK and his NUFC sides and being tactically inept is one of the biggest myths. As you said, you don't get to be 12 points clear of the Premiership in your 4th season in management if you don't understand football. Keegan does, perhaps better than people are willing to give him credit for. He just doesn't really care much for tactics or puts much faith in them and with good reason. People trump up the likes of Mourinho as a tactical mastermind yet once those players cross that white line, tactics can go straight out of the window in one split second. Remember Mourinho putting on 3 subs against us in the FA Cup only to go down to 10 men due to injury? That's the split second I'm referring too. Look at Benitez, regarded as a superb tactician yet he constantly fucks up on a regular basis hence Liverpool's inconsistency. In football good players coached right in the right kind of environment on a consistent basis will win the day far more than tactics ever will or can. Tactics are important don't get me wrong and Keegan isn't too hot in this area compared to others, but tactics are side issues and always will be over more important criterias. Anyway, the two best managers in the country, Fergie and Wenger, are not master tacticians and neither was Sir Bobby Robson. We'll be OK and I can't think of a safer pair of hands to place our club into than Keegan's. We all just have to be a little patient and trusting. I think KK would not harm himself if he employed and up and coming tactician from the continent just to bounce some ideas off and suggest things he would not think of. I worry about this a lot about KK, like it or not the prem is becoming more like Serie A every year that passes due to foreign influence, but that doesn't mean we can't strike a decent balance between both styles of football.

Black people are simply better athletes than white people. Faster, more agile and generally just more explosive on the whole. No real point deluding ourselves and trying to be PC about it, it's a stonewall fact. Conversely, white folks are, by and large, better equiped at the cerebral side of sports (i.e reading what is going on around them and making decisions) You need only look at american football to see this. In the positions where speed and athleticism are crucial, like running-back, reciever or cornerback, you will do well to find a white person in the entire league. You get some wide-recievers, admittedly, but most of these are "slot recievers" who generally are expected to work the middle of the field and spot open space in zone coverages (which further illustrates my point) rather than be big playmakers. On the other hand pretty much all the elite QB's, for my money the most mentally challenging position is sport, are white guys. There are exceptions to the rule of course, but this is the way it generally goes. Japanese girls are hot.

I think you'll end up disappointed. I think so too. Yet again.

Getting a bit desperate now. Window's almost closed, we need some action or this season is going to get a lot worse.

Billy Sharp is a fine player as well.

Citeh have so many class youngsters.

Our what?

Fair enough like

Newcastle United boss Kevin Keegan's honeymoon is already over after their FA Cup elimination against Arsenal yesterday. The News of the World says some players were dismayed at new Newcastle boss Keegan's tactical team meeting ahead of yesterday's 3-0 FA Cup fourth round drubbing at Arsenal. A Toon insider said: "The players were waiting for Kevin to give his instructions but all he said was: 'Arsenal are a great passing team. We must make sure we pass the ball better than them.' "That was it. There were no specific tactics, no work on set pieces...the players were stunned." Newcastle have failed to score in both games since Keegan took over.

TBF Woodgate passing a medical will make it on CNN never mind SSN I was thinking more Fortean Times.

Hes got a lot more to prove then to score a couple of goals in the league to be a proven legend, just wait til he gets on a bad form streak. You wont be screaming to loud then. oooooo touchee Hes not just a goal scorer, if you watched italian football or even knew about it, you'd also see he creats goals and works hard, not every 19 year old keeps Gilardino out of the starting 11 just by scoring goals. now go and do your research before making another silly post. Just that you rate gilardino at all proves you are just plain stupid. shut up and move on Clearly an inter follower we have here. The Fact Gilardino finished 2nd top scorer in Seria A 2 seasons in a row speaks for itself. Maybe things are different where you come from but if a 19 year old keeps out the countrys second top scorer out of the starting 11 then clearly the guy has talent. I think after the comment you just made, to call anyone stupid is beyond belief. I wont bother responding to anymore of your silly nonsense. but will state again. do your research before making anymore "stupid" posts. complete and utter waste of space and time mackems.gif Such venom! Ouch!

Still can't put my finger on why the attendances are so low in Italy.

Dave has four pairs of hands, its not fair tbh.

Somehow i doubt logic enters Woodgates head too often, if it does i'm sure he'll smash it out quickly enough with a glass or two.

Canny film, although i thought the ending was a tad weak, worth a watch though

Has a relegation release clause for around the same price they paid for him. Theu'll have no choice but to sell him and who to sell him too.

it fuking works for me

OK, gonna tell myself he failed a medical, that will do me fine cheers.

Side note, our link to the boro forum seems out of date (the forum that is, i think its dead)
