oh i thought it was the 'dont sign anyone from a club with a better team than ours' rule. i think this needs clarification just so we're all sure.

haway lads man get rid of that

in other news, a man has invented a wheel bollocks isnt it, thats the nature of the beast, pointless moaning about it. recently i've seen lots of people saying 'ok, i was too quick to judge keegan/owen and i hold my hands up'. thats totally admirable imo and to be applauded, and much better than a stubborn denial to change your mind given evidence, thats how you end up like allardyce.

in other news, a man has invented a wheel

chances of him being in charge of bolton in the championship next season?

atmosphere was exactly what it needed to be imo, encouraging and supportive

Not sure if Owen was too chuffed with this that'll be the headline tomorrow 'crisis in toon as owen wants out - "no-one picks me up", says england star' he had a big grin on his face when beye put him down, then proceeded to give him a big cuddle, i dont think he gave a fuck

would be nice to hear him get his name sung at home, maybe next season once everyone's forgotten they wrote him off and they can blame it on each other

i'm sorry? an oba PEN!?

i thought viana was gonna be class for us i thought souness would do a good job of getting the so solid crew north east chapter in line

hot dog, charles n zog, alberrrrrrt luque?

but thats incredibly blinkered, he's had to do it with very limited resources, he had to turn an awful team into a decent team, and he has, maybe more. all people are saying is that if kev's given ample resources, we'll do much, much better than we have under souness, roeder or allardyce. is that hard to understand? or do you just disagree? and to answer your first question, i dont actually think the reaction will be TOO bad if we lose, even though i slag the booing cunts to high heaven, because i think people will recognise that we've turned a corner in the last few weeks We will do well, because Keegan plays the game in the correct way. He allows talented players to perfom to their talent, by passing, moving, running, mixing their game and playing with desire, character ........ personal traits he looks for when assessing players. This is how you play and approach the game if you are a top team, not simply buying a defender or two because you have let in too many goals, its far more complex than that....or rather it isn't its just people who don't understand the game properly. Positive attitude and an offensive approach and the belief that you can win by outpassing the opposition and dictating the pace of the game are the way to success THIS is what we have not done since Solano, Bellamy, Shearer and Robert shot us into the top positions, because THESE are the players who dictated our game and took the initiative over our opponents. indeed

i think this is the most positive the forum has been since i started reading it, crackin stuff

Didn't Mort say that the clause no longer existed? not sure, thats why im asking i'm 99% sure he did, although it this point i dont really think it matters, having a year left on your contract may aswell be a release clause anyway. of course there is always the likelihood he'll ask for one to be put in a new contract

my bets gonna be us to win 3-1 and barton to score

i wasnt sure which thread to put this in but i had to post it somewhere haha, it seems keegans message IS finally getting across to the players

He's not a Geordie, so he'd be lying if he sang all of it if he gives kev enough money in the summer i'll consider him officially initiated

hahaha, excellent

in his first game home game (blackburn?) i remember thinking he looked very influential, always on the side line shouting instructions etc, cant be all coincidence that his arrival came at the same time as our up turn in form imo

was thinking about this last night, it'd be nice for us to show our support for him at the minute, especially with him having been dropped to the bench by capello. whatever has happened in the past, right now he's newcastles michael owen and he's proving it on the pitch. we should show him we appreciate it, after all, if he goes to a premiership rival he'll keep scoring and we'll be more than a little disapointed we didnt try to do our bit to keep him here imo

come next season being proficient at playing a few different formations will be a massive boost. wouldnt surprise me if we got 4-4-2 against the better teams and 4-3-3 against the easier targets, who knows, i suppose it massively depends on which players we can get

haha, what the hell is going in here?
