Exactly. Guaranteed titles and praise at Lyon, or taking the flak for a bad signing at Newcastle...hmmm. he would have given up the guaranteed titles and praise at lyon for our managers job, i know that for a fact, whether he does it for our dof however, i very much doubt

agreed

i would love to see houillier in as dof cant see him leaving lyon for that job however, but i am reading gerrads book at the moment and the bloke sounds first rate. i guess his trophy haul at liverpool would back that up

great news

so i have been told. about time.

well the evening chronicle that i read today certainly mentioned the chanting of shepherds name, and also hints at a crisis with 'i dont know where newcastle united go from here'.

.com dont usually get things wrong, or post rumours up for no reason.... could be some legs in this i reckon (sorry)

i would be fucking gutted if we got curbs. big sam or mark hughes for me. or even houllier or venables ahead of fucking curbs.

after we just signed Martins and Duff ffs, get a grip And Sibierski and Bernard. And been rebuffed for Lucas Neill. Lucas fucking Neill. We remain small time. Even more so if we go for Viduka again. is that the same lucas fucking neill that the 5 times european champs and current f.c cup olders were rebuffed for???

totally and utterly disgusted

what are they saying ???? thats what im asking blueeek.gif

can anyone confirm what the later editions of the chron are saying on this???

best post in this thread

Good! The last thing we need is another stop-gap, expecially one that can't even get into the Boro side (a Boro side that lost 4-0 at home to Portsmouth three nights ago). Use the money to fund for new defenders. for the record, he played against pompey (not that it matters like!)

lovejoy 8 lease AF cheers mate

That's what I was thinking. Plenty of good managers make shite pundits. We get a host of them. Here's two managers for example that were absolute dogshit: http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Palms/6687/keggy.html http://www.england2006.co.uk/bobbyrobson.htm Glad we never had those two. im not on about making the odd 'bobby-ism', i am on about rabbling on as if you are delirious, the bloke doesnt talk any footballing sense whatsoever And yet he picked France to win the tournament, while the others all picked teams that went to the QFs at best. What exactly do you mean by footballing sense? I agree with you he's a shite pundit. So are a lot of people, including two of Newcastle's greatest managers (and one of England's :wink:). so he was wrong as well then? Better to be wrong on the matter of one missed penalty then pick teams who went out two rounds before them tbh. Has he been a pundit in the past, I don't remember that? i think you have to accept that he was only 'right' out of himself and hansen, as if shearer, wright and leanardo are going to go for anyone else other than their home countries

Has he been a pundit in the past, I don't remember that? aye he has been on the beeb before, it might have been the last world cup or euro 2004? i always got the impression him and hansen didnt like each other but they seemed ok in this tournament?

im not particulary on about tonight, i am on about teh whole of the tiurnament, at times i have just burst out laughing at him, he just goes off on tangents that are not at all related to the topic. if you watch, lineker kind of swerves him in certain situtions as well. i.e when something seriosu needs to be talked about he ALWAYS asks the two alans to analise it, and i dont blame him! Didn't you buy his book, Lovejoy? I seem to remember you forming a far different impression of him from that. i did! i liked what i read a lot! it was a biography though and not an autobiography, if it was an auto biography i would still be on it now because the fucker would have gone off on one in every page! bluebiggrin.gif

im just stunned that the bloke doesnt seem to have a clue what he is on about! i have never heard ANYONE rabble on so much about complete and utter bullshit, at times, he doesnt seem as if he is all there!

i have to say ne5, i agree, i was a big supporter of us getting o'neill, and i have been very disappointed with his punditry. to put it bluntly, the bloke talks bollocks 99% of the time

my mate archie won it for us! archie was the keeper at west allotment, the benfield and he played aginst our young'uns in the cup final for blyth. spoke to him before and he was at the after party at the copthorne! lucky bastard! bluebiggrin.gif and a headline on nufc.com to boot! well done my son!

based on what i have seen over the last 5 years, i would take henry over kuyt anysay.
