I didn't say I took it to heart, I said they were taking the piss.

You've defended the Souness and Roeder appointments in this thread. http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=39176.msg804592#msg804592 Baggio said: Both Souness and Roeder are easily two of the worst managers in the Premiership and both came with a history of failure, Gibson appointing Southgate is nothing like us appointing Roeder. You said: on what basis are they two of the worst appointments ? There have been dozens, maybe even a hundred or two s**** appointments.

I'll take your word for it, I'll not be around to see it, I'll be in the pub by then.

No point in turning up on Saturday then, we've got an injury.

Maybe what's changed is this http://icnewcastle.icnetwork.co.uk/newcastleunited/news/tm_method=full%26objectid=17192042%26siteid=50081-name_page.html I remember Roeder saying we needed defenders a week or two before that article.

Duncan Ferguson broke his hand on a burglars head if my memory is any good.

It will around me, I'm going to turn around and shout f*****g hell, look at that." All the nosey ba*****s will have to turn around.

The highlighted bit was pre-Souness. Employment law is a jungle these days. If we offerred a mill out of court they are more than likely to take it. It would probably be the best £million we'd spend this year.

True, they should just stand and clap like a load of performing seals.

We still need crosses but they need to go between the keeper and defenders so that Owen and Martins can run at goal.

A few of my mates were talking about turning away from the pitch at kick off.

We should give them a standing ovation While booing the f*** out of them and throwing beer at them.. I wouldn't waste my beer.

F*** Off.

I really hope the highlighted bit is bullshit but I wouldn't be surprised.

You can put you life on it that I go back at them although going back at the Sheff Wed fan wasn't easy. I couldn't remember much until Sir Bobby came to mind, it did shut him up when I muttered the score.

The new shirt is horrible, I can't remember a worse Newcastle home shirt than that, it's almost as bad as that horrible blue denim thing a few years ago.

Or Roeder. I don't know how much stick people away from Newcastle are getting but I'm getting quite a bit. I do. I live in Birmingham and people think we are a joke at the minute I spend a bit of time near you and have had stick off Villa, Birmingham, Wolves, Derby, Man U and Liverpool fans, the worst though was a Sheff Wed fan taking the piss on Monday night in the pub.

I can't comment on the reaction to Wilkinson getting the mackem job as I wasn't away from home at the time. People are taking the piss out of the Roeder appointment and not mentioning badges.

How far will you go to defend Shepherd? He appointed managers who had won things and it didn't work so he thought he'd appoint s**** as that might work. bluelaugh.gif bluelaugh.gif That really is one of the best laughs I've had in ages, thanks. on the contrary, what is most laughable is people - like you - who think anything other than anti Shepherd/board comments is "defending them". I'm not defending anybody. I'm just looking at both sides of the coin, and trying to be balanced about it. Other clubs have made far worse appointments, and whats more you know it. Unless you are foolish enough to think that every club should appoint managers who are successful. mackems.gif I expect you will say next that when I say that only 4 clubs have qualified for europe more than us in the past decade, and we finished in the top 5 for 3 consecutive years for the first time in half a century to be "defending the board" ? BTW, your comment isn't what I said at all....not that I expected people like you to misinterpret it or be daft enough not to understand I don't claim to give a balanced view of Shepherd, that's not possible when his record of under-achievement is so one sided. You don't give a balanced view as you see no wrong in him, you even excuse his last two appointments, it's laughable.

I'm no fan of Allardyce but he pisses all over Roeder, I agree about going beyond the CV.

How far will you go to defend Shepherd? He appointed managers who had won things and it didn't work so he thought he'd appoint shite as that might work. bluelaugh.gif bluelaugh.gif That really is one of the best laughs I've had in ages, thanks.

OK, name them.
