The man knew his stuff
:clap: :clap: 
What happened to him by the way ?
sobered up?
He's probably only 12.

I think this is a good move by Shearer, pure common sense really. The players seemed to be doing whatever the hell they wanted under Kinnear and Hughton.
If only! They seemed more like they didn't know what the hell to do. On the pitch, that is.

That wasn't very long, HTT.

Stop making fun of Dowie. He's here to make Peter Beardsley look good.
-
Why not? Hughton press conferences are a joke anyway.
That avatar
:lol: Googling for 'ian dowie' from my location gives me 'Image results for ian dowie' as the top result, with three versions of that picture and a fourth in which he has the exact same expression but a different shirt on.
Edit: in fact, he looks like that in all the pictures of him, except the ones that are of other people.

Executive Director Dennis Wise’s future on Tyneside is shrouded in doubt and it is believed that the Londoner has become frustrated with his own position.
The little Cockney is understood to have had a series of disagreements with key members of staff at St James’s and tempers flared over the signing of Peter Lovenkrands.
Wise is thought to have felt the Dane’s best days were behind him, but Kinnear wanted Lovenkrands
– who has bagged twice for the Toon – to aid Newcastle’s survival bid.
Wise is being ignored because Kinnear knows better.......after letting Keegan walk in preference of Wise?
Mother fucking genius.
It doesn't seem rational, but it also seems unlikely. Why would Wise be enraged due to a free signing of a potentially useful player on a short term contract? It's not like it's much of a gamble, like signing a £10M defender playing for Deportivo, or a waste of money, like giving Ameobi and Nicky Butt new contracts.

people are fond of quoting these statistics yet dont take into account the fact that his record for us is less than 1 in 2 if you take away penalties and goals are all he gives the team anyway.
He isn' the same the league as an Inzaghi as a poacher and at somewhere like Man City he's a long way behind Bellamy as a footballer. He'll do ok for a mid-table club next season perhaps but he wont excel at the top level again.
Correct, he isn't much of a poacher any more. But what Keegan did was that he made Owen play deeper so that he could direct the play and make better use of his undoubted vision and anticipation than he can when being marked out of the game in front of a clueless midfield, which seems more in line with Allardyce's tactics. The way we played under Keegan tried to got the best out of the attackers and the midfield, the way we play now expose every weakness we have while not making use of any of the qualities we have.
-
he's finished as a premiership footballer imo, he's had too many injuries and can't adapt his game
he'll be lucky to be earning 50k a week next season, not the 125k he's on here
Bollocks. 9 goals under Keegan last season, in something like 17 games. He's a very clever player, but useless if he doesn't get to take part in the game.
-
Alan Smith. His injuries may still save us from relegation.
-
Highly respected among journalists, probably. Banning him from the ground because of an article is a pretty cuntish decision regardless.
-
How many more stupid threads do we have to put up with dicussing relegation as a preferred option,
Insanity.
It's not like we'll have a choice in the matter. People are just looking for a silver lining.
-
Not "still". We're that club again.
-
I disagree.
The total lack of football seen in the second half on Saturday was down to the players and the coaching staff alone. We were playing some great football up until half time and despite getting back into the game, we crumbled on a massive scale. No 'pick me ups', man management, encouragement etc etc etc was evident despite 25 minutes still to be played of the game. And the sad thing is this game was not alone in a 2nd half crumble. If we go down, it is down to the spinless players and coaching staff that can only last half a game.
The squad we have now includes more promising players than anytime within recent years and although there is many carriers, the squad should easily be enough to be above Fulham, Wigan and West Ham.
Blame is everywhere and it is easy to target the big man but hes not the one who can score, concede, give fouls away, change the game, motivate the players, give inspiring team talks . . . . .
Mike Ashley did say the squad needed reinforcements in depth as well as in quality before last summer's transfer window. Too bad the management structure he put in place couldn't follow up on his plans. Too bad they replaced one excellent and one decent player with two mediocre and one poor player in January. Too bad Mike Ashley failed to replace Kevin Keegan with a competent and healthy manager when he no longer wanted to be part of his shenanigans.
But yes, really, it's the players' and manager's fault.
No, it's the players' fault when we lose a game we should have won. It's the manager's fault when we consistently do so. It's the owner's fault when we have no manager.
-
Coloccini defends like N'Zogbia did: out of position and uninterested in getting back into it when caught out. Probably doesn't want to be here.
-
I'm defending him any way but none of the goals actually came from his mistakes(thanks to S.Taylor)
But what an awful performance from a 10million signing...
He was out of position and jogged along as if he couldn't be arsed for both the second and the third goal. At fault for both. And those weren't his only mistakes today.
-
I thought he was just the player we needed when he signed, but he's useless.
-
Lost us the game today; at fault for both Arsenal's goals after the equaliser.
-
We've been decent. Best I've seen from us, attacking-wise, in a long time. Should have had a couple of goals. Even Duff has been good. Raylor is shit, though.
-
He means he prefers the word 'delicate'.
-
I can't believe there are only two mackems on this forum.
-
Yes, but only because it never will happen. Basically, I'm the kind of guy who'd do anything and everything I never will do.
-
No, he had a shot on target for us as well.
-
OK, 8, more realistically.

Coloccini worse than Ryan Taylor? No. Coloccini did OK except for a couple of costly mistakes, but Ryan Taylor was shit in absolutely everything else as well as costing us a goal.
