Straight through the wall.

Class.

Excellent play, should have been 2 from Barton.

That's the way I see it so far, we've been quite good passing but it's just that last pass we're missing, Viduka would be the player I'd take off as he'd doing very little, when the ball comes to him up front he just plays it away from the Spurs goal, he hasn't even tried to turn anybosy so far. Having said that, Viduka will probably score the winner now.

We look thin in midfield and Vidika is doing nothing to justify his place in the team today, Owen has done nothing up front but he's doing well in his deeper role.

I think we've had the best chances so far, Beye was so unlucky not to have got the first.

59% possession to us.

Right into the corner and on half time.

He also said he was taking over the best squad of players he'd ever taken over, or words to that effect.

You can really argue with it, a shit manager took the team from 5th to 14th while spending £50 million, 30,000 had every right to have a go at the useless bastard, the sad thing is that it took so long for them to complain and it wasn't 52,000 doing it.

I've seen it now, thanks.

What's up with the quotes?

Souness effectively ended his career, Robert helped but the manager once again put his massive bastard ego before the good of the club.

It'll be the same for us with N'Zogbia, despite what Keegan says, if a player wants a move he'll get it.

I'd love to see him go for Carrick, I doubt we'd get him but you never know, if he's home sick then we'd have a chance. I've lived away 3 times and wanted to come back the day after I left, I wasn't earning £millions to soften the blow which is slightly different.

Allardyce might end up with the distinction of being the only manager to pick a losing 11 against the worst team in Premiership history.

I can't wait to see what Keegan does in the summer, I really can't. I think he probably will look to boost the midfield with a couple of quality players, I wouldn't be surprised to see him going for a right winger or a centre back. I'm not sure he'll do anything up front unless he's going to lose one of the three we have, I think he likes Viduka but I wouldn't be surprise if he got rid of him because of his injuries.

2-1 to us.

6 or 7 new players would be way over the top and would create problems with too many players trying to settle in, 3 or 4 is about right for one window, especially if they are good quality, Keegan will be in a much better position to adjust at Christmas.

That's frightening.

I couldn't give a shit about finishing above the mackems unless they finish one place below a trophy or qualifying place for something. I want to beat them home and away on the rare occasion we're in the same league. Other than that, I think it means more to them that they finish above us than it does the other way around, they're just a small minded set of fans from Durham.

To be fair to the players, they might donate offline to keep it quiet, at least I hope that is what they are doing. Dyer owes Bobby millions so that b****** better cough up, he was partially responsible for him losing his job here. I can think of a few other people who have come into large amounts of money recently, I also hope they donate, even if we never know they’ve done it.

Not yourself, myself. Anyway, I'm just trying to bump the thread.

Agreed, On another note, the only name I recognise is Paul Hayward, obviously I recognise Dave, GM and myself.
