Exactly my thoughts, or hightower

We gonna destroy them, woooooooooooooooooo!

I've been pulled on too. C'mon Kev!

How long was this appointment planned then? Maybe Sam saw the "love it" mug on Mort's desk and did a runner

He is a metalhead IIRC.

Nice to see.

Exactly HTT nail on head.

Was reading Bobby's book the other day. Remarkable story Mourinho, no doubt.

Agree. Would be a good idea.

Beye. Please.

I think Roz could make a good defensive mid. He lacks a bit of discipline and confidence but he is certainly mobile enough, pretty good on the ball and a presence. If we could get him to work on his positional sense he could do a good job there.

He is hardly shit though is he? Good right back and can cover centerback. No problem in my book if we bring him in.

He must shake like a shitting puppy when it comes to buying right backs, Keef, as he still hasn't managed to pluck up the courage to do it in a year now. To be fair, he probably scares half the potential signings by talking them to death

Even Anelka has been bumming him.

Born 87 in the midlands, the offspring of an exiled geordie and a softy southerner. Thankfully my gran got me into the toon, early 90's I'd say. I'd admit I haven't been much, but when I have it's been amazing. Just need to get myself through this uni course and I can look at moving up to newcastle and getting a job (and a season ticket of course!)

DM DM Milner Zog Duff ST or DM Milner Zog Duff ST ST IF the kid had pace he would be a top quality player. Still a great option in the squad, good with both feet.

I've always had a bit of a "soft spot," I suppose, for Newcastle United -- sorry if that bothers you for some reason. I used to have a lot of respect for the fans there, and still do for the most part (there are obnoxious asses in every club's stands -- Liverpool at least as many as any other, I admit). I've been a fan of Owen since he was 17, so yes, I take more notice of Newcastle now that he is a player for your club. Oddly, PegasusBridge, I was rather agreeing with your earlier post -- that Owen played well and if he continues to do so, I don't understand the "f***ing sh** c***, f*** off" posts from this thread. Owen can be frustrating, he's very streaky and even when not battling serious injuries he tends to minor strains and the like. He's still mint, IMO. And as I said, it's been 7-8 years since the events described in his book. Both men have changed, and thus it may not be a problem at all. No one has ever said that a manager needs to be best mates with his players. They just need to respect one another. He is damaged goods, simple as.

He is a shit little cunt. Never liked him.

Well at least we had sense 3 weeks ago. Good luck to him but this is a step back. (Though I hope he does well!)

Hopefully we will get some classic quotes such as this: 'Shaun Wright-Phillips has got a big heart. It's as big as him, which isn't very big, but it's bigger' That is mental.

How dare you not agree with the charvas? You post a lot of sense mate. Keep it up. I hope he is a success, I just don't like the reasoning behind this. A chance for a change goes begging, with so many good names in the ring we get nostalgia. I just don't want to have to say I told you so if it all goes tits up.

Er... Good luck to him, I'll get behind him. But this kinda backwards attitude isn't good for the club.

I don't have an opinion on Deschamps tbh. Not seen enough of his teams, and Juve were miles above the other teams when he got them promoted. Still if he is the man I won't complain.
