It's all so brilliant right now, and things can still improve. Thank you Keegan, and thank you Mike Ashley for bringing him back.

Everyone, quickly go on to the BBC player ratings and give Beye a 10, his average is so shit.

FUCKING YES!!!!!!!

Kel's pretty good too tbf. His over-reliance on orange soda will be our downfall. Wait, who loves orange soda? Kel in Keenan & Kel

I think 433 can get a little overrun at times by a 442 formation at times, but individually our players have all put in very good performances. Harper has been our worst player courtesy of not being forced into pulling off any very good saves. The full backs have been our best, Beye in particular.

YES!

As things stand, we are only two points behind Spurs.

Whereas I think our 433 stands up against the 433s and 451s seen at other sides, I have this feeling that it is inferior against 442.

What a f****** joke - 'impartial' my arse, why do they dislike us so? Ditch the persecution complex. It makes you sound simple. Just enjoy the football, if you can. Just thought it was amusing rather than insulting to us to be fair. Would have been just as insulting to Reading.

What a fucking joke - 'impartial' my arse, why do they dislike us so? It was the truth man. what do they expect after 18 minutes...5 amazing moves by each sets of forwards? Bollocks. Neither team were producing much at that point. They were talking about both team you know. At that stage it was looking like a 0-0 snorefest.

What a fucking joke - 'impartial' my arse, why do they dislike us so? It was the truth man.

1518 was an accurate summary.

YES!!!

It's not as bad as it sounds according to Keegan in the Journal. Players were training aggressively within the laws of the game, but Keegan wanted it so that the only knocks a player picks up are within competitive matches.

The player has since retired, so it isn't any of our lot.

I've never been wrong, just been times where I haven't been proved right....yet. See Geremi/Given for examples of vindication

According to wikipedia, yes he was.

I've updated the list to take out five players who never played for NUFC: Diatta, Pinas, Gudjonssen, Perez and Troisi, added Luque who was missing, and a recount shows sixty players. I think we should compile a list of Irish players, then add them all to the main list later. Off the top of my head, I can think of: Stephen Carr Jimmy Crawford Damien Duff Shay Given Alan O'Brien Andy O'Brien Liam O'Brien

If Hodgson is on the list, you've also got to mention Gary Johnson of Bristol City - We even have top international managers in the Championship

It isn't complicated as this is post Premier League - many years after Ireland gained complete independence from the UK. Michael Collins didn't fight in the Irish Civil War so that Irish players weren't considered foreign players in the UK 85 years later.

Ireland is foreign.
