biggs

That sort of quote worrys me as i can see it being used as an excuse if he is the only player through the door that he can play in various positions and that will do .GOD I AM SO PISSED OFF AT THE MINUTE IM READING SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING :-[

Beye and Taylor where s**** today with the zog chasing them for the bellend award for mediocrity .Beye for mewas s*** against Coventry too ,Taylor ball watching and pointing and arms swinging about like an arse was embarrassing and the Zog was s*** and got worse as the game went on.

Stop wearing pink pants is your best bet

I will stay calm until the transfer has ended and if we are in the same position more or less as we are now than i will go ape shit but i have faith that we will come out smelling of roses

Fuck off Milner ,drop us in the shit just before the transfer window ends .Get as much cash as possible and spend it on better quality if we have time .

No, no it could'nt. Imagine if we did Spuds would be gutted ;Another thought if he is desperate to leave Zenit is it not possible he could end up the WOW signing if we could strike a deal without getting shafted on the transfer fee and the player wants a clean break with no one else coming in for him .

I feel deeply hurt

Frustrated for winning a football match god help us when we loose a few

fook me hope your mates dont read this s*** ,they would take the piss for weeks ,write what you know about football on the back of a postage stamp and hand it out when you get back to school

What a refreshing change to see us go at Manure with no fear and still trying to win it till the end ,KK and the boys thanks for making me feel proud again .I know we did not win but at least the scum bags in the national papers will have to reprint there back pages .

Keegan out cannot even beat Manure reserves

Fantastic result today ,must admit thought of a twanking but we can hold our heads up high and say hey we could have won that .This will give us such a lift and make us fear nobody ,Jonas was outstanding on his premier debut and was constant thorn in there sides .I think everyone worked workerd hard for each other and the future looks bright if we can get a play maker in

Fantastic performance today i think we will have lots of fun watching him play for us,tracking back not afraid to take a player on and fast as fook .

Hardly a doommonger but stating facts that its hardly the best start for our first game ,i highlighted my words to show that things could change so there

If we have the players who are available now minus owen out as rumoured and the 2 argys not having papers and signed it will be even more of a up hill battle and have no confidence in us getting a point knowing our history down there but things may change but atm i feel fookin annoyed that we go into our first game of the season in such a mess :-[

If we were to get a better replacement in straight away i would not be bothered but to sell and be left short will be criminal in our current bare bones squad .

YOU BASTARD DONT SPOIL IT

More sticking in of the boot here from a chick with a dick probably ,at every opportunity and from every angle comes a hack with a axe to grind . Newcastle leave Keegan in the dark over new signings * Louise Taylor * The Guardian, * Monday August 11 2008 For a club boasting a state-of-the-art telephone system, numerous private meeting rooms and high-speed internal email there seems a peculiar lack of frank communication at Newcastle United. Kevin Keegan may be the team's manager but he appears in the dark about certain important issues. Although Fabricio Coloccini watched this flattering 2-1 win over Valencia from the main stand and Mike Ashley, the club's owner, wore a replica shirt emblazoned with the Argentinian defender's name, Keegan appeared remarkably ill-informed about the progress of his £10m transfer from Deportivo La Coruña. "There's nothing official," he said. "I can't tell you anything at the moment, I don't think. He was here, that's for sure. I like his haircut - it's like mine and Terry Mac's were in the 70s. I can't say any more than that at the moment." Then there is Jonás Gutiérrez, an Argentinian winger who upset his former employers, Real Mallorca, by buying out his contract to join Newcastle. The La Liga club are appealing to Fifa for extra compensation and, while Gutiérrez is free to play in friendlies, Newcastle have yet to receive the registration papers from Mallorca that will enable him to play in the Premier League. Asked if this issue would be resolved in time for Sunday's trip to Manchester United, Keegan merely said: "I don't know, I hope so." There was less elaboration about Arthur Cox's sudden departure from the club. On returning to St James' Park in January one of Keegan's first acts was to hire his mentor to a backroom scouting role. Cox, though, is believed to have become disillusioned by the amount of power devolved to Dennis Wise, Newcastle's executive director (football). "Arthur Cox?" said Keegan. "Yeah, he's left the club. That's it." Any explanation? "No. He's left the club." Newcastle's manager does, for the moment, appear to have succeeded in preventing Alan Smith's proposed sale to Everton. While Ashley proved keen to see Smith's £60,000-a-week salary removed from the payroll and David Moyes, Everton's manager, was eager to sign the former Leeds and Manchester United forward, Keegan dug his heels in. With Wise proving an ally and agreeing that Smith should stay, this is one battle the manager might just have won. "Alan Smith is a Newcastle player, no doubt about that," said Keegan, who had late goals from Damien Duff and James Milner to thank for Saturday's victory. While Smith's versatility is important in a shallow squad his Newcastle career has so far lacked guile and goals and Keegan, who hopes for "two more" signings post Coloccini, admitted: "I definitely think there's a lot more to come from Alan. He knows that. "Alan's a player who wants to be successful. He's got a lot of desire. If he didn't have any desire, I'd say 'you're wasting your time'. I've known lots of players turn themselves around, I know Alan will. Alan may not always be the best player on the pitch but no one tries harder." Similarly no one is sure whether Michael Owen will be involved at Old Trafford. The England striker has not played a single pre-season game but should start a full-scale training ground practice match on Thursday. "It'll be Michael himself deciding whether he's fit enough," said Keegan. "Even then we may just decide it's not the right thing to do." Emile Heskey has a thigh injury after limping out of Wigan's 2-0 win against Utrecht in Holland. The England striker lasted just 19 minutes of Wigan's final pre-season warm-up game yesterday before being substituted by Steve Bruce. But the Wigan manager insists that Heskey should be fit to face West Ham in the Premier League on Saturday. Toon's hair apparent Pressed for insight on his new signing Fabricio Coloccini, Kevin Keegan homed in on what really matters: his haircut, which recalls the bubble-permed monstrosities of Newcastle's past sported by such as Terry McDermott and Keegan himself. Indeed, the Newcastle manager was, in the late Seventies and early Eighties, the bubble-perm poster boy, with McDermott an eager copyist in playing spells at Liverpool and on Tyneside. Coloccini's arrival promises a new era of big-haired folly in a Premier League largely dulled by cropped orthodoxy since the departure of Abel Xavier.

Mirrortastic hot off the press not one bit of evidence that i can make ot that he has spoken to them Exclusive: Mike Ashley says he is not selling Newcastle By Simon Bird 8/08/2008 Mike Ashley (PA) Mike Ashley (PA) Mike Ashley has broken his silence to insist Newcastle United is not for sale - and set Kevin Keegan a top-four target. The billionaire owner has bowed to pressure from fans and declared he has fallen in love with the club - and will not be selling his entire stake. Ashley has reacted to growing frustration over his lack of communication with supporters by producing a message aimed at giving the club stability ahead of the new season. He says the club's finances were a mess before he took charge with claims it could have collapsed like a pack of cards. He wants Keegan, who has a three-year contract, to take the club back into the top four, and is determined to break the club's trophy drought. Ashley has also defended appointing Dennis Wise (left) as director of football above Keegan, saying that they need experts to do transfer business and take that pressure off the boss. Advertisement - article continues below » The reclusive 45-year-old also attempts to end claims he will walk away from Newcastle with a profit on his £200million purchase. He told MirrorSport: "I'm really looking forward to the season. I'm excited by Kevin, seeing the team play, all of it. We're going to have fun." Ashley is in talks with the Profitable Group, but only to promote the club in the Far East. Ex-Liverpool star Steve McMahon said: "I am not involved in buying the club."

Among the last of a rare breed a gentleman and we be a great loss to football and our club ,hope you dont suffer Bobby .

I reckon we could do with a few more centre backs. We could of his standard , fuck Taylor and Faye .

yep, I’m up for the Metro one it’s free and looks better than the official one which looks a pain to do. Yeah me too see if anyone else is up for this one then could start a N-O League Me too

Here goes Daily Mails rant for the start of the week........ scumbags dont you know Newcastle look close to changing hands again and Hatchet Man cannot wait to bid good riddance to owner Mike Ashley. His reign at St James' Park has been a disaster from the start and if billionaire Anil Ambani is really prepared to buy him out and can strike a deal, it is hard to see how he could do more damage to the Toon. Ashley Comedy classic: Ashley has presided over the Keegan PR stunt and the Wise appointment Ashley's tenure has made that of predecessor Freddy Shepherd look like a period of commonsense. Sam Allardyce was treated badly; Kevin Keegan's appointment as manager in his place still looks like little more than a PR stunt and bringing in Dennis Wise to lurk in the background has never made much sense. All that in just over a year - and that is not the worst of it. Newcastle's handling of Joey Barton has been a punch in the face for those in the game who still care about ethics. Some say Ashley and Keegan disagreed on whether to give the midfielder another chance to prove his days of thuggery are over, but whose club is it? The owner sets the tone and the idea of Respect - towards referees or anybody else - does not appear to mean anything to a club whose main response to a player who has smashed up a team-mate and member of the public has been to try to save money by cutting his wages.

Fantastic signing and hope there is more quality to follow
