Houghton with Money, simple as that.

You won't win matches with Shola, but neither will you with this midfield. You can't play the midfield so narrow together because Edgar wont go forward. I don't understand why we didn't play a simplre 4-4-2. Given Edgar Taylor Colo Bassong Geremi Butt Guth N'zogbia Xisco Owen would have been so much safer.

could see Ameobi and Smithy getting a start tbh.

Couple of times, not many though hard to comment on him after just a few apperances ive seen of him. One i saw though he scored twice and looked composed upfront holding the ball well. Then again ive seen Ronaldo fair few times live, and talked to him and it doesn't matter how much it hurts to say it but he's past it. He still scores no doubt, but at higher pace of game it will be hard for him. He might get minutes here but i can't see a manager playing him just because of his name. Have you ever seen Xisco play? I may be wrong but in my opinion you talk s***, you aren't brazilian and you make stuff up as you go along. Just my opinion. Ya alright i aint brazilian. I could give you a life story if you want to. I can tell you that my mom is from a part called Moema in Sao Paulo and my father from outside the city of Sao Paulo in a city called Sorocaba. I was born in Sweden and have therefore been alot at our swedish supporter site before called magpies.nu (that doesnt exist anymore). You send me a PM ill send you my life story ill send picture ill send whatever you ask for, if you're young enough to have facebook ill even give you my name so you could add me, even your mail. (Sorry for the off-topic, but hell i just can't stand there taking this shit GTFO)

Given Edgar Colo Taylor Zoggy Geremi Guth Butt Duff Xisco Owen will be the probable line up...we wont create much!

it`s 4am in Brasil, you`re up late What did you think of Brasil`s latest performance? Living in Belgium for now, and not much to say about the performance. Like i've said for a long time Dunga is not the man for the job, he keeps playing with two holding midfielders and the team won't score. Josue and Gilberto arn't players who should be near the team, this is a team with great number of stars but you also need to balance it in the right way. They should try to play a attacking team with Ronaldinho - Luis Fabiano - Robinho. And behind Kaka, Elano/Anderson/Diego/Hernanes or even Julio Baptista as the holding midfielder. This would make the team much more attack minded and not the defensive minded football Dunga hs made us play. -------------------------Baptista -------------------Kaka------------Diego/Elano/Hernanes -Ronaldinho/Thiago Ne----------------------------Robinho -------------------------L.Fabiano---------------

Give up, Ronaldo is past his, and i am a brazilian telling this. I've always loved him, but unfortunately i doubt he would get minutes here with Xisco, Owen and Martins + his wage demands are too high. Ciao

GET OUT! I don't want to hear from you ever again! Pointless piece of S*** is what i read in that post of your, for real if you believe he's better then Zico go follow Sunday League.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2008/apr/06/football.comment good read

I'm not waiting, sorry but i believe this to be our genuine chance to get back the football we all love, the entertaining one. Zico will get the best out of our players and give them confidence something that we have lacked ever since SBR. I mean we got potentially a good squad and can easily reach a top 6 if we get the best of our players. Keegan would have done that, Riijkaard, Mancini would never. Zico will if he gets this job trust me when i say this have difficulties in the beginning but as soon as he adapts 5-10 matches we will be on a rool, the confidence boost will be massive and for once St James will once again stand for ovations after the matches. And we might actually for once since SBR be decent at set pieces that is a massive advantage in todays football.

Did anyone see Zico's Fenerbache? Because honestly they were immense, and were unlucky last season. They went far in the Champions League thanks to him. I mean come on! Im tired of this s*** you guys rather see O'Leary? Mancini? RIIIKJAAARD? Please, Mancini plays the most boring football ever and can't even beat Liverpool, Riijkaard doesn't have Ronaldinho to save his ass! Please give me a break guys!

If we get him, I'm going to be delighted, its time we get a manager who can play attacking football. I think he's the one to take us back to winning ways! Him or Terim would delight me.

Zico

Get Anil and then get Zico in, he's a great manager and one who will get us scoring!

Yes you are, f*** hes been doing a good job, but a part of this job is to buy players. Hes the one who wakes up every morning and goes out training with them its his players not the board whos the economical support. I mean its like working and McDonalds and not being allowed to give out hamburgers only the fries. (I thought of that example myself ). This system might work but the fact that a billionaire comes into the club and spends less money than his fat counterpart Freddy is ridiculous. I'll wait and see but i think Keegan deserves a title under us!

And having the media and rival fans taking the piss out of you is more important than showing who WE the fans are and what we want?

No i don't doubt for a minute that he could be the next thing but then again whoever Keegan wanted to bring in could also. I don't really care, Keegan was the manager and it should've been his job to sign the players he wanted, Wise job is to for f*** sakes give him reports of players and if Keegan said no so be it, if then Keegan would be wrong it was for him to take the consequences. I mean this is not a way to run a club I'm sorry, its wrong in all matters!

How about boycotting it, really this would me the most devastating for the board realising that this is a huge mistake, imagine SJP with only between 10-15 000 supporters there. It would be a cracking idea, the sit down protest is also good but the consequences might be many such as they won't care and or they won't come. Best of all would now be to just boycott the home matches until we get an honest answer from our ''CHAIRMAN'',''OWNER'' and wise ''Director of Football''. I wouldn't be good against the players playing infront of an empty stadium but it would really do the players ask the question, because they have also been betrayed.

Im just gutted been out on the Belgian coast last two days and got a phone call from a mate, telling me about keegan. Im just thoroughly heart broken by these events i just cant believe it. Only thing that would make me happy was if we could just Ashley could just F**** off and we could get a new owner and keegan with shearer at the helm! Im just gutted so really only person i would consider to take this position right now is Shearer but wouldn't be dissapointed with either Laudrup or Dechamps

I can see us playing Given Beye Colo Taylor Zoggy Guti Guth Butt Gonz Owen Xisco/Martins

to be fair spainish is quite similar to portugese and hes bein in spain for a few years Fack off, no its not! Only educated people in brazil understand spanish!

I would never like to sell, but it looks like Big Mike is doing a fool of himself and if keegan leaves I wouldn't care i would love us have a rich man and buy all the players we want to. But lets get the keegan rumours sorted before we make our mind of what we like.

Lets wait and see how this develops, i mean many said the same about Citeh when the Thai took over, what if these investors just die and give all their heritage to newcastle for the sake off it! Wow this is bad!
