Because we are looking at improving our youth setup, I'd be against Lippi while other candidates are available because he smokes, and I believe that the person at the top needs to be setting good examples of health and fitness.

I'd say it was a good idea if we had the right coloured seats, but I dont think there is enough contrast for a decent Bobby face on our seats.

Personally, although I wont oppose the idea of naming a stand after him, I think it is too grand a gesture for someone so modest and humble. At Exeter City, one of their stands is named after their most famous players, Cliff Bastin. Bastin played 17 games scored six goals for Exeter City before joining Arsenal. Naturally this is ridiculed. I doubt a stand named after Robson would ever be ridiculed, but in reality, for Robson, Newcastle are really a footnote of his career, and although he will be forever popular with us, his time at NUFC will become dimmed in the future by the role of future heroes. I think to get a really huge long term gesture at any club, you have had to achieve something, and although he has had a great career, I dont think he quite achieved enough at Newcastle. Personally, I think there should be some gesture in the near future, probably a friendly or even a Robson Trophy that would start out as a tournament involving Robsons past clubs, but then become a regular pre-season tournament similar to the Amsterdam one, and of course Robson would be the guest and get to present the trophy. And then when he passes away, we could create some sort of memorial, not a statue, but maybe a mural on a wall, or a large quality photo of Robson being the last thing the players see before running out of the tunnel, or my own favourite idea, having a seat in the stadium (either in the dugout or in one of the stands) kept permanently empty apart from a small park bench style plaque and a black and white scarf.

To be fair, I think he was on Match of the Day duty.

These are the sort of transfers that happen in January: 1) Young prospects that haven't properly broken through at their current club. 2) Good players from the smaller European Leagues, ie Scandinavia, Belgium, Eastern Europe and Russia 3) Good Players from clubs with money troubles. 4) Average, overpriced players 5) Players that get in a huff if their club rejects a move from a larger club. 1 and 2 require a good scouting network, there aren't really any 3s about, and we should avoid number 4s, while 5 doesnt really apply for us.

Too many injury problems, although we definitely did play a lot better with him than we did without him.

I cried. I'm glad the BBC arranged for all these people to say thankyou to Sir Bobby, but also that they gave the ever humble gentleman a chance to thank all of those that have played an important part in his life.

Same here, but I didn't really want to say it.

Was Robert getting dropped a retaliation though, or was it part of the game plan anyway? After all, we had the lead, and perhaps Souness just wanted the team to defend and hit Lisbon on the break with Dyer's pace.

Was that really worth the reaction he got from Souness? No.

Ashley has paid off £100m in debt, so he's spent about £240m on the club including transfers as well. It was predicted yesterday that with a win, the press would try a different negative angle, and today our owner is out for a quick profit, and we are in trouble over not fully providing information on transfers.

Get rid of Lawrenson first.

Fuck off Lawrenson

Better. Removes the fact that Allardyce is hovering in the air while trying to strangle Mark Taylor

His best position is right back, but we've got Habib Beye.

love you too

Pure perfection

Nothing more satisfying than a last minute victory.

Beye Beye, I love yooooooou!

I'm being completely honest as well, I saw a Getty pic of Beye waiting for Martins to take his penalty, and I thought, 'he's up for it, I reckon he'll score the winner'
