It's a fair point, but he was crap before the foot injury aswell... Nope, he was playing intermitently alongside a forward line that didn't suit his assets.

Damien Duff. His problems have all been physical and mental, and I think that Keegan can work wonders in those areas.

What the haters forget about Duff is the injury he has come back from. His foot injury was three times worse than a broken foot, and it takes players with a broken metertarsal months to find form. For me, Duff's problems have all been mental and physical, not technical, and if a preseason under KK can sort this out, we could yet have a very good player in our hands.

Writing is on the wall with Forster getting in the team today.

.com say Harper and Owen miss out.

Here we go. http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/7832/tantrumoj4.gif I'm not at all in tantrum mode. In fact I'm perfectly placid. From my perspective, it is you who is having the tantrum, and whom is attempting your usual bully boy tactics of trying to belittle anyone saying anything you don't want to hear. Doesn't work with me I'm afraid. No doubt you will want to have the last word with another belittling comment as you always do, but I will now stop this for tonight, as this forum is not about your ego, or my ego or anyones ego but about Newcastle United FC. Good day.

I can safely say that Mike Ashley has never tried to tap a player or manager up via the media.

You don't have a problem but you throw tantrums once you've had a drink. Once in a blue moon. Your last two posts pretty much sum you up though, someone says something you don't like, and you start resorting to personal attacks.

Football Manager 2008 thread is in another forum, mate. My comments were actually based on a similar deal Man Utd have on Pique.

That was just Allardyce in a huff over his transfer budget. Was Smith signed before or after?

Bollocks, someone else has read the side column of .com today.

Marcel Desailly has scored one goal against Newcastle. When?

If you've got a problem then do something about it, I posted a comment that had nothing to do with him and he passed comment so I asked him to prove what he was saying just like in the other thread when he told lies so it isn't every thread and it wasn't only two in this one if you check. I hope this isn't going to end up with you throwing another tantrum. How come you never comment about anybody else or when he does it to others? You have a problem and you need to sort it out. Me? A problem? As far as I can see, there are two people whose gripe has for years not been about the football. It has been personal. Perhaps on this occasion he baited you, but on other occassions you've baited him. Regardless, after a while doesn't it become easier to ignore people? That is certainly what I do to avoid getting in fights with people. As far as I know, there are no arguments beween others that are so personal, so I've had no need to comment. You can be guaranteed that there will be no tantrum this time around, as I'm stone sober. Wait until later.

Stop it you two. Every bloody thread has to turn into a bloody flame war.

If we sell, we should perhaps stick a £4m buy back option and a 50% sell-on clause into the deal.

Now it is clear that we are trying to play a stronger team: Given Beye Taylor Cacapa Enrique/Tozer Gutierrez Milner Guthrie N'Zogbia Duff Martins

Smith Guthrie Milner Edgar Gutierrez N'Zogbia Enrique Duff Beye Butt Cacapa Ameobi Forster Taylor Martins Given All the above are visible either on Getty, or the training video.

Nope, he wasn't on the training video either.

Oliver says that Enrique has had problems this week. That could be another player missing out.

No idea, Keegan said three additional players would miss Hartlepool, one has a bad back, the other two he didn't say. All short term things, but no point putting them out against Hartlepool.

Judging from the pre-season training photos and Keegan's interview, I'm guessing that Owen may be one of the players missing tomorrow as a precaution.

Interview with him on .cock English is fairly good. Should settle fairly quickly. Is better weather to play football here than it is in Majorca.

You've quoted all three videos Dave. The 442 implication is mainly down to Keegan saying that the thing that caught his eye with Gutierrez was his supply line from the wing for Guiza last season. Said Shola and Smith up front (no lie) will love him. Is Spidey playing for the reserves next season then? He said Owen and Viduka too, but I thought I'd ought to emphasise Keegan's implication that everybody's two favourite players will be here next season.
