Would be a good move for us. Lets hope we can get an early bid in and stop other competition mounting a challange for his signature.

Superb effort. Well done.

Fuking spot on taylor son.

Very good performance, don't mind getting beat if we play like that.

Same here, fuking hell.

In a perfect world you would be right. It a perfect world the fans would take this poor form on the chin and not shout at the manager or boo his every decision. We don't live in that world, and to say that all is well with the above is beyond naive.

Its been shit all season, we were very lucky to get early point on the board, we are actually in a false position, we should be lower, so yes, tough times considering the fans are shouting at the manager, there is player unrest, board twitching etc... I suppose its just normal for NUFC, but it is in fact tough times right now.

I'm all for giving SA time, but if Capello wants the job, then we must go for him. I very much doubt he would though, but we can dream through these tough times, no harm in that.

Its like 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and no doubt 2008 around here sometimes. PS: Yes i am.

I'd still rather have any of the others midfields. But as Andy gray says....." Games arn't won on paper " No. Our bad midfield on paper is even worse in real life. Tragic.

Fair enough, but King on the bench? I don't think the lad has played since the last time this kind of thread has been done.

Could we not dig up one of the other 5 million threads this has been done in? No offense like mate, just it really is like Groundhog day around here sometimes.

Who said he's on that? You and your Boro mates to soften the blow of losing your best striker for nowt to your bitter rivals who couldn't give a fuk about you? That really does sum it up doesn't it? mackems.gif

I think we all know the players have had an easy fuking ride for the last several seasons. God forbid they'd actually be put out for their silly money. Total cunts the lot of them. Sell the moaners, even if its Given, Taylor, Zoggy or Martins and find someone who appreciates playing football for a living, a very fuking handsome living to boot. Twats.

Get them all in a small room and then suddenly without warning shoot one in the head at point blank range (ideally Carr) so the blood spatter hits the others. Then discuss the christmas team schedule after. Half way there. Then give them survival packs with a random weapon in each, only the last 11 survive and play over xmas. (Carr lies dead, give his pack with the egg whisk in to Babayaro)

Dont think he turned up for the two games prior to the weekend. Has just been acting like a dick tbh. Edmilson said something about him not training hard and he took offence, cant remember the whole story. "In our group of 23-25 players and coaches we are like a family and on many occasions the family has a black sheep." "The world in which footballers live is different because money, success, fame, women and getting things easily means they lose the true values in life. "Sometimes our job takes second place and players say 'I've got a meeting or an advertising commitment so I'm going to train quickly." http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/european/article3191555.ece Thats the one, don't think he turned up to the next game after that was said. Well if you are gonna piss on probably the worlds great football club in any kind of manner, there is only one way you are going to head. Ronaldo & Kluivert wasted the end of their careers due to problems such as this, i really hope Ronnie doesn't do that same, but this: "The world in which footballers live is different because money, success, fame, women and getting things easily means they lose the true values in life. " really does ring bells.

No, Gullit bought him as Shearer's potential replacement. Gullit bought Dunc as Shearer's partner, he's said so himself so many times since leaving the club that Shearer worked better with a big man next to him, ala Ferdy-Shearer combo. Countless times i've hear Ruud Mullet on SS's talking about this.

5 or 6 nil to Arsenal; would be a mercy if we can manage to keep the scoreline as low as that. As long as its not double figures by half time i will be relieved.

Whats going on with him? Why are Barca supposed to be willing to sell, and he is supposedly wanting to leave? This is not the first time he's been linked away, i though he was playing for them and more importantly scoring for them as well?? If they are willing to sell, we should go for it. Ashley can afford to take that kind hit in the pocket, i doubt Boro can with their 15k average attendance paying his wages.

"A foreign coach with proven ability yet not in Premier League i.e: Capello" For the threads sake. But really, if our only choice was to sack SA for £6-7m and replace him with Shearer, would people really be happy with that? I for one hope SA gets the rest of the season, my opinion won't change after recent results, there are people who want him to fail, everyone at the club needs to make sure that doesn't happen. If this form happened this time next season, then i'd be very much in favour of sacking him, but right now, there is no Capello or even a Dechamps waiting to take us over, there is Shearer, and i think right now we've got a better manager in charge and all that will happen with Shearer is an up turn in results, but nothing ever changing, a quick fix. SA needs to be allowed to make the big moves behind the scenes, and complete them, when thats done, Shearer can have a play about, until then, the club is far too unstable for an unproven manager to test himself with, the club is in that shit a state, even worldclass managers will have their work cut out, and most would be in the eyes of the fans, failing just as much as the current man.

I'm just glad we welcomed him back in a great manner when he 1st returned with Citeh. Was a feel good moment.

We should stick Owen in front of Sven's nose while we nip in for Crouch. I'd be made up if we could straight swap them in this current market.

After Arsenal it will be something like 1pt out of 18, thats a sackable offense imo. Hope we don't though.

How come it is like this with some managers? Every fan and pundit can see something, but the manager just can't? So frustrating! Shit thing is, i thought those days were behind us when we got sam in. is big sam over-thinking it? and then rationalising his cumbersome gameplan? e.g. zoggy plays left back for his country etc... I think he's stoned when making team decisions. Its the only answer imo.
