To be honest I think the players know Pearson will be gone fairly soon and will give 2 less shits than usual. That's assuming it's Sam and he brings his staff with him. I can't see Pearson being assistant to anybody, that's for sure.

For the first time in a long time, I don't care even slightly about a Newcastle fixture. Usually we can say "at least if we lose, so and so will lose his job" but that's already happened. We can climb one league position and drop one league position. Pearson was in charge of the under 21's yes? That was entertaining, so I'll say 2-2 here. I reckon Pearson will go: Harper, Solano, Ramage, Carr, Bramble, Milner, Parker, Dyer, Butt, Owen, Shola Subs: Martins, Zog, Pav, Gooch (if fit), Carroll

4 Eriksson threads in an hour = 9/10 on the coronary scale

Dave's just had a coronary

Not all bad news then

He won 5 trophies in a calendar year and you're laughing

If true: I'm fairly happy. I'm looking forward to being organised and efficient and having good backroom staff. Also all the other "pro's" HTT raised. Worried about a 4-3-3 long ball system which I can't be doing with. But as I raised elsewhere, Allardyce was a cat's pube away from the England job and I doubt Allardyce would: a) Have used the "Bolton system" with England b) Omitted Michael Owen like many are suspecting/worried about. I also worry about random squad players from all corners of the globe being brought in, altough I suppose if they're better than the home grown boys then we shouldn't complain. I just think it'll rob the club of some identity. So to sum up: Pleased as long as the likes of Martins, Owen, Taylor and Milner are still part of the plan, and the shit is shipped out. And we don't play long bastard ball!

For those assuming Allardyce will not accomodate Owen, would you be saying the same if Allardyce had got the England job?

You know that random increase in share price a few weeks ago?

Glenn: "Freddy....am I meant to be at a meeting?" Fred: I wouldn't bother if I were you. Here's the gist...

Robson?

I think the most shocking news to come out of this is that Freddy works on a Sunday.

Server crashed on me before trying to exit the other "Roeder sacked" thread, ended up in deleted thread archive and then the inevitable "CONNECTION PROBLEM" white page.

Why the fook does Richard Keys know but no fucker else does!!!

I hate it when this happens. I'm going out shortly and I'm going to get in and this thread will still be going, most will have settled for finding out in the morning but others will be listening to 5 live until the early hours. Then nothing will happen until next week and people will get more and more impatient, we'll be linked with 400 different managers and by the time he's sacked people will no longer be shocked.

If he's not gone today he'll be gone soon, no smoke without fire and all that shite.

.com just updated 10 minutes ago and said nout. They usually know first.

It's inconvenient Man Utd winning the league today it's getting in the way of any important news

How many bloody pens to the Gooners get?

Phil Neville Correct :thup: Jesus wept

Like he's just lost 2-0 at home to Blackburn Rovers whilst his favourite club have just qualified for the Champions League final

I was reading the BBC match report and it had a link to "Glenn Roeder news conference: Watch now" in the middle and had high hopes he'd called a press conference or soemthing. Instead it's the interview of him "laughing off" the Allardyce link.

Where are all the mods today? Mod training course? Annual team bonding day out paintballing? At the match? Post match thoughts: End the season now. Sack Roeder. Bring in anybody. Most of the deadwood know they're leaving: Bramble, Gooch, Carr?, Dyer?, Moore, Baba, Luque and Pav and then probably others like Zog. Bring in talented, hard working players.

1652: FULL-TIME Newcastle 0-2 Blackburn Is that Glenn Roeder's final game in charge of Newcastle at St James' Park. 1650: Chants of 'Sack the board' at Newcastle as time ticks down to the final whistle on Tyneside.

"Ladies and Gentleman please stay in your seats.." "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" This could get ugly
