Colos Short and Curlies

Brilliant attitude to have. I envy our next owner. Seriously, are these people engaging their brains before they come out with this drivel? Actually I'm now warming to the 'open letter' to Mike Ashley - the one which they have yet to decide what to put into it - I want to see how much more of a collective idot they can become

Interim chairman Malcolm Shiels said: “In the long term we would like to have some representation at board level. We want to be able to give the fans a collective voice.” I thought they didn't claim to represent Newcastle United Fans?

I would seriously suggest that any letter to Mike Ashley is not made through the press. If the Boycott club have any intention of looking into the possibility of a reconciliation then try and establish contact privately first. If you go public you will have 2 effects: (1) Ailienate sections of supporters further by appearing to speak publically for all supporters (2) Leave yourself with no scope to change your views at a later date without looking foolish No body would like being 'called out' through the media, which effectively is what you would be doing. If however you are hell bent on ensuring that the club remains in limbo until an unknown investor comes in for us then by all means make a fool of yourselves once more in public.

Doesn't Bobby say that he expected this to be the case in his autobiography?

Yup Agreed with his blueprint of building from youth at the time The signings of Colo and Jonas in particular showed promise in the scouting system. But... He would need to improve the level of managerial staff. Derek Llambias is a buffoon of the highest order. Some clarity on the exact roles of certain personell wouldn't go amis either.

Aye, just realised my own mistake there. Still he's got experience in English football and has worked his way up. Wouldn't shock me if Phil Brown was our manager at some point in the future. Swansea is his first managerial job

No. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes Yes ?

All about showing continued improvement in performance for me. If Villa turn up then they will win, going forward they have a lot of potency. If we turn up and match their workrate then I think we can be happy and go into the next couple of games with confidence, if Villa have an off day then we can make hay. Its not the frame of mind I would like to have, but thats just where we are at the moment

I would, I don't think he gave a shit who he sold the club to, but at least he managed to have it up for sale for 2 years without as much disruption to the team. To be fair though, no-one can really know what the intentions of a new owner actually are, they all come out with the same bollocks about moving the club forwards. You can only guess their motives from their previous exploits, and try to see through the spin and look at what they actually do. Technically it was up for sale from 1997

Muppett on Talk Sport claiming that Taylors performance and confidence is suffering this season playing alongside Colo! Unfortunate slip yesterday, but everyone has one of those once in a while, even Rio had a rubbish 10 minutes on Saturday where he looked like Anton's less talented brother

Newcastle (from): ....... Ranger. Fire with Fire man!

Taylor or Given as captain tonight!

Was waiting for that. Seriously though, who else would there be if we ignored the foreign contingent altogether? The return of Big Sam!

nope. It certainly is. There's far too much emphasis on having this type of player as well as an AM, what's wrong with having two box to box players together? Like Gerrard and Lampard? They're both not box to box though. I reckon they are. Who is then if they aren't? Lee Clarke and Rob Lee.

He missed with a swinger didn't he?

Good news = no news

Aye Ferguson is a right c*** too. So was Brian Clough. That Roeder is a nice fellow though. If you look through history a lot of players change their approach once they step into management - look at Keane and Hughes for recent examples. Who's to say that Shearer the manager = Shearer the player in terms of personal style. He's had, as mentors, the likes of Dalglish, Robson, Keegan, Gullitt, Venables, Hoddle, Souness. All big personalities, all with a distinct style. If he hasn't picked up from those what works and what doesn't then he really is as thick as pig s*** Souness was a c*** a so called hard man, we all know how that went.. KK not a hard man, SBR not a hard man, it takes more than fear to get things working well.

It makes him much, much more qualified than Shearer. Without doubt, but there are probably Sunday League managers who are more qualified than Shearer. But qualified enough to take this job? What about Shearer's role in Roeders caretaker stint. About as much relevance as Ketsbaia's experience imo

I'm sorry but there is nowhere where Shearer could 'prove' himself for this job. If you are getting in a Shearer or Keegan then it becomes more than just management. Dalglish, Gullit, Souness, Allardyce. All to a degree proved themselves elsewhere and either won trophies or got teams playing above themselves. All failed here. Keegan, unproven but worked. The exception is of course SBR, but there is not another Bobby waiting around the corner

Yes, But..... Only if he puts together the following backroom team. Rob Lee Les Ferdinand Phillipe Albert David Ginola Peter Beardsley Tino Asprilla (we need to replace Terry Mac)

They'll probably use an audit firm rather than a legal firm

Didn't a certain Alan Shearer set up at least one of Fentons goals? I'll always remember Gillespie admitting to diving after that game. - as a side note how much of a cunt is it that Phil Neville cost us the league by injuring Gillespie at OT in the December. Fucking Phil Neville of all people!

Euro 92 vs Sweden. Gary Lineker being substituted, England desperately needing a goal. On the bench is Alan Smith (The lanky Original) and Alan Shearer. Who does Turnip bring on? Alan Fucking Smith!

Cisse has the tools to be an awesome player, just never quite clicked together for him (and he's made out of cheap glass)
