    MLS 2010

    Been following toronto since i moved over to canada. will shamelessly defect to the whitecaps next year though, cant wait.
  2. how the hell did pancakes miss at the end. Should have been a Lovenkrands hatrick too, great day though. 9 more wins and we are there. Tough game at the smogs next.
  3. Then put the table on the right wing for a laugh.
  4. put all the gobby people on the bellamy table, with a sign stating that the chairs are attached to the floor.
  5. Thats all very well, but lets look at that average this time next year. Keegans must have been belting after the first full year.
  6. He (saylor) has always been suprisingly effective coming forward at rb imo. i think it limits alot of his pressured rash challenges and decisions. if we go up we will bring in another cb so the argument is maybe for another day. saylor, williamson, colo, enrique would be stable in the prem, what we have in reserve not so much.
  7. Best and Carroll are far to similar to be playing together, it wasnt working again today, one of them needs to be doing something different, I hope Hughton and Calderwood are on this.
  8. Hope we jump on Arteta, fantastic player. Would be a great addition to the England squad. Dont see it happening though.
  9. Shepherd tried to hire him twice. exactly.
  10. Thats some high class panic, its close to here at times. Bruce was always going to need at least a year before he made things how he wanted he was the same at wigan. As classic as it would be, Bruce has shown he can manage to turn things around from the verge of being sacked to saftey at Birmingham. Deserves everything he gets mind.
  11. player improves from the raw 18 year old he was when he was there shock horror It is a bloody shock horror seeing a young player improve here!
  12. You know hiring bruce is exactly the kind of thing ashley would think was a smart and popular decision.
  13. wouldnt mind taking Kevin-Prince Boateng off their hands.
  14. Granted Barton has been dissapointing at best, not even close to his City days but he has demonstrated some class vision and passes, he has shown he has the ability, just not the consistency. I still think Barton is miles better at picking out a pass. That said If I remove my head from my ass a little Guthrie has picked out a fair few decent crosses this year.
  15. Didn't Keegan say that was his best position when he signed? I would agree with that tbh. I think he'd have more time on the ball to do his stuff and he can definitely set up the play from there. Not sure he'll be able to stand up to a battering away from home though. I dont know that he is good enough defensively for that? Provided we have players around him with legs they can use effectively for 90+ minutes, then it could work. His vision and some of his long passing was promising last year, Barton is miles better though.
  16. Wait a minute, just realised we are playing at home today, HOWAY! Hope Best is working himself up on the bench!
  17. And our free flowing attacking football and blistering performances do merit to be above west brom?
  18. Going to say McLoven. Although I think it could be the making of Carroll if he manages to get another over the next couple of games. I think he will take the momentum more than Loven, who will naturally score given the chances.
  19. Alan Carr's dad is our new chief scout. As if we werent the butt of all jokes already. That said, seems like he is quite highly rated and the more the merrier. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1249131/Graham-Carr-father-comedian-Alan-announced-Newcastle-chief-scout.html?ITO=1490 Graham Carr, father of comedian Alan, to be announced as Newcastle chief scout By Sportsmail Reporter Graham Carr, the father of TV comedian Alan Carr, will be announced as the new chief scout at Newcastle United this week. Carr, 65, has been taken on by owner Mike Ashley to boost the club’s scouting network following the tarnished regime of previous director of football Dennis Wise. Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley New recruit: Mike Ashley (pictured) is to hireGraham Carr as his new chief scout It emerged at a tribunal which awarded ex-boss Kevin Keegan £2 million that Newcastle had signed an unknown Uruguayan as ‘a favour’ to two South American agents. Carr’s last role was as part of Sven Goran Eriksson’s scouting team at Notts County.
  20. Dont look back, just look forward! Bloody terrible appointment mind.
  21. God, makes me feel old, bitter and twisted about the youth of today!
  22. At least he could have been humiliated here in front of a big crowd. Bugger that, if all is to be believed he will probably be signed by Manure/Arsenal or Real over the summer. Just a quick stepping stone to the big boys, IF he shines.
