Was a racist murder, wasn't it?

He's always talked a good game.

Hard to tell. They might just be shite.

Why just Hibs, why not Hearts and Aberdeen too? Well, exactly.

What's the chances of Hibs asking for a PL place, too? I mean, if you're going to let the Glasgow teams in, why not other SPL clubs?

You'd need to go on that Stormforce forum where they've got a formula for working out who is and who is not black, or something.

Again, you've missed the point. There are almost no black managers at any level of the game. Nothing to do with PL. But where's the evidence that it's linked to racism? It could be a number of factors. Lack of ability, lack of ambition to become manager or coach etc. - the colour of their skin is irrelevant. According to who? The fact is that, currently, about a quarter of players in the Football League are black, but there are very, very few black managers. I'm not saying it's racism, necessarily, but statistics would suggest there ought to be a larger number of black managers. FOR SOME REASON, black players do not tend to go on to become coaches or managers. A quarter now, and maybe we will see more in the future, but how many was there back 10-20 years ago, at the right age now to step in to management? And don't include foreign based as they possibly will fuk off back home or to another league where they've played before rather than just stay in a Country they played in for a couple of years. Fact is there are more failed white British footballers out there who have the drive to go in to management than there is black, and maybe the former black players who have made it just find that chilling out living the dream off their well earned money is more appealing than the stress and strains of management? I appreciate that there were fewer black players in the past, and that obviously has a bearing. But the younger managers in the game now come from an era when they had several black team-mates. If the percentages don't start to tally soon, I think it's only right to ask questions. (I'm not saying it's racism, btw: there are many possible explanations)

Racist. Huh? 'Luc' is rhyming slang for sp@de. Of course.

I think you might've hit this nail direct on't head.

Racist. Huh?

Barnes is actually kicking racism into football, he's that bad a manager.

Is that the award for drinking more Lucozade than any other player in the league?

So, middle of next week, then?

These two people are right, obviously.

I saw Joey Barton in Newcastle Airport when he first signed for us, and his leg was in a cast then. Seems like he's either been in jail, unfit, banned or injured for the majority of his Newcastle career. Rubbish signing, but what's worse is that we've had the opportunity to move him on a few times.

Had we conceded once against Cardiff, Leicester, Sheff Wed and Brom, we'd be in 7th place right now. We're not in a position to blood a keeper at the expense of goals man. Buy some strikers then instead of relying on shite kids and nobodies. Aye, you fucking cheapskate.

Hold on. Did I see your van the other day?

Probably Ashleys last sick joke, he'll hand him a 10 year contract at 5 million a year a week before he slinks off to the sunset. He'd just have to be dealt with then. I tried slinking off into the sunset once, but then I realised I'd just walked into Phil Brown's face.

He's fallen foul of Martin's Inexplcable Law of Full Backs which states that the most bizarre selection decisions he makes - and there are lots - will ALWAYS involve a dedicated full back losing ghis place to someone else. Waste of a good player, tbh. But I rate Cuellar.

And, since you're here, what's up with Beye?

Milner will be in trouble when Downing gets fit that's for sure. Unless MON decides to play Downing through the middle alongside Petrov, which he might do I guess. Ashley Young is the one who will be in trouble, before Milner. He hasn't had a good game for us since he got sent off at Sunderland last season. What was with his hobbling the other day? Stood about looking like he taken a bullet to the shin and then would sprint at full whack for a minute before repeating.

and Krul has looked an absolute fucking liability in the 2 games he's played this season. Which do you choose? Honestly, what absolute nonsense. Keeping isn't a problem and wont be in the short to medium term. This.

Thank God he wasn't Ashington-born.
