Well maybe on both counts. But if you look at the Villa squad, I don't think it's better than ours. O'Neill just has the ability to get an extra 10% out of all his players. The sign of a good manager is someone who can overachieve on the resources that are available to him. I don't think Keegan has ever shown that. When it comes to over-selling himself, he's up there with the best though. When has Keegan ever over-sold himself like? Our performance at Man U was the utter antithesis of what you said, inferior players outplaying superior opposition. You seem to imply that he only does well with resources available - his first game as manager against Bristol City 3-0 just completely shatters that argument, players who looked utterly piss poor and heading for the old third division suddenly believed in themselves and Newcastle United, and they continued playing for their manager as he dragged us out of the shit that season. What happened next wasn't bought, it was built on the enthusiasm, drive and belief of the best manager we have ever had. As has been said before, none of us know what actually happened, yet people still choose to believe that Keegan has 'flounced off' and dropped us in it. I believe he loves this club, I believe he knows what is best for the club more than anyone and I would give anything to have him back.

I agree with everything Scott Parker's 60's Haircut's said so far, he seems to have a good understanding on the whole concept, and speaks a great deal of sense.

It's nice to know he knows it is something he has to cut out. It totally eliminates any chance of an offside when he does that as well.

I would take him at the moment. Bruce or Dalglish??

I was comparing him to Curbishley there like. Ah, OK. Would agree O'Leary over Curbishley, but what a choice to have to make

Eh? He has done better with big money, but actually he hasn't as he has done just as well with little money?

Ashley may not get his price and we might not be sold. We could end up with an owner who is only thinking about selling, a board who know their time is up and a manager who knows he is a stop-gap appointment only. Not exactly an ideal recipe for success. If this continues for any length of time, we are going down

His 'coming of age' happened before he knacked himself. We are now just waiting for his 'coming of transfer'. Shola however, there's someone who has yet to come of age. I blame god, tbh.

This thread is about waving scarves

I had a car stereo like this. The 'up' volume worked but the 'down' didn't. Every so often some clever bastard would turn the radio on, try to turn it down from its ear bleeding levels, then, when it didn't get any quieter, turn it up a little bit for some bizarre reason. You quite literally couldn't turn it down.

Pity the crack team were depending on getting rid of Barton before trying to replace him, I guess they can be forgiven when you look at how much the crack team spent. I think all of them need to lay off the crack pipe.

What is the largest land mammal?

I'm surprised you can type

I do that when I am talking to foreigners tbh. Talk like a foreigner talking english.

What are the Premier League rules on names on shirts? Can it be anything? I don't think swear words like 'fuck' and 'cunt' are allowed

Can't see that like. He's been abysmal for us under two different managers, both in midfield and up front. Moyes is a good manager, but you can't polish a turd It is possible to polish a turd, it just makes a bit of a stinking mess.

Admirable.

Aye. Hope you didn't bet too much. Maybe 10 years ago we would have out-sold them

You want your cake and eat it too, yes? What else are you going to do with your cake other than eat it?

Hardly. You own the rights to your own pictures, and the FA can go f*** themselves. The problem is twofold: The "performers" (that's Nicky Butt et al) have the right to consent unless the recording (photo/video) is for private/domestic use (meaning you don't actually have the right to publish); also the FA can claim copyright for whatever they want and have the site shut down without having to prove a damn thing. They still don't own the rights to your pictures, though, they just happen to have far stronger legal protection, and much more money, than any common citizen. I think that's a good reason for not pretending they have more rights than they do have. does that mean i can go to the local odeon with my digital camera,film what i watch then replay it at home for my own personal use ? As long as no-one catches you it's fine.

Lucky he put that tin hat on....

The whores of football.

I think it was him who completely bum raped Liverpool at the Mestalla a few years ago. Was quality in the match they dominated at Anfield as well. He sadly peaked around that time, despite being only 24 or so. I'm not sure why he's lost his way, but if there's a manager you trust to restore self-belief in a player.. to help him believe that he's awesome.. to bring the best out in a player.. you know.. we all know who that is Christian Gross?

I don't think we will sign anyone today like..

Fucking hell!
