Carr is driving me nuts.

Does this mean we won't be signing Kevin Nolan?

They've played it at the end of games-- after wins.

You know, Shola may benefit from Keegan's management. Allardyce had him all boxed up and he couldn't play his game.

Sorry, but for how long as "Coming Home- Local Hero" been played before games at St. James'? I think the movie came out in the early 80s-- '83 or so.

So was Roeder a "great coach" or a "big name"?

He deserves Los Angeles. And Los Angeles deserves him. [/native San Franciscan magpie]

@HTT If the club had brought in anyone other than Keegan, this would've quieted down pretty quickly. There were weeks of media speculation about Spurs prior to Jol's sacking and it all stopped when he was replaced. Same would've been true with Newcastle had the club brought in, say, Deschamps. But it's Keegan. It is different. I don't think that any story would play as big as Keegan returning to Newcastle United. Keegan to Fulham? No story. Deschamps to NUFC? No story. Keegan to NUFC. BIG STORY.

Well, bringing back Keegan isn't exactly realistic is it. He's the anti-Allardyce!

It's a general principle. Goes without saying.

From what I've seen over the Internet, it all seems way over the top. But I'm enjoying it. Three, four, five, even six articles about NUFC on every news site. Could there be another managerial appointment that would get this much press? Edit: Oh, ten on the BBC. Nice.

Boy, you guys are going to be disappointed when our only signing in this window is..... Antoine Sibierski!

My initial response was disappointment. I had convinced myself that Deschamps was the answer. Really.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_3052902,00.html I've googled, and I haven't found anything to the contrary. Please correct me if I am wrong. If he's available, he's got to start IMO.

Does anyone think Barton will play? Got a feeling he will.

Expect Barton to do well. Smith, as well-- in his new role coming in off the bench.

We're 10 points off 8th and 13 points off 4th and the Champions League. If 7th is achievable, maybe 4th is as well. Anyway, let's see who Kevin brings in.

Yeah, but UV's response is classic. Well, I laughed anyway.

That would be in line with the whole fairy tale theme...

Who wants sane and realistic?

Given Carr Taylor Cacapa Enrique Milner Barton N'Zogbia Duff Viduka Owen

Duff as well. We'll see what he's really worth.

Actually, think Coleman would be a good call.

One. Creative. Playmaker.
