....Wise..... Rather him than Keegan tbh

I always thought he would fail, but I pray to God this doesn't get worse. It feels like the whole cycle is starting again. Keegan out at the end of the season and another man in.

That's the Villa fans

Butt's inability to pass is costing us dear. Fucks sake.

Still the same - very disappointed. I was more excited when Wise's arrival was announced. The game has changed, the opposition are more tactically astute and technically capable. Keegan will be found wanting IMO, just as he was with England.

I see the times have re-submitted last years 'Racist slurs of Newcastle fans fuels Mido' article on Newsnow.co.uk. Wankers.

I see the Telegraph's business editor had a dig yesterday It was a short piece on how you can bet on "the joke known as Newcastle United FC" total Premiership spoint count against the value of Northern Rock shares.

I lived there for a year, and can confirm it's a total sh*thole. The only upside was the strip club ST1 in Hanley.

Today seems almost like a desperate and reluctant acceptance that this club cannot compete regularly at the highest level. So let's just put our fingers in our ears and pretend instead.

See!

From another thread... And... Maybe I don't spend enough time on here to truly gauge the thoughts and opinions of the NO regulars. But doesn't this appointment go against everything we've clamoured for and criticised? We've clamoured for a tactically astute, and preferably foreign (through lack of English?) manager with the reputation to attract players from across the continent, someone capable of rising above the pressure and taking on the likes of Fergie and Wenger. Think Hitzfield, or Dechamps even. Then we've criticized Oliver for 'miss-representing' the fans in his calls for a manager with an understanding of the Geordie culture, or the kids you see screaming on SSN supposedly embarrassing the club. I can't help but feel we're being blinded by sentiment. Keegan had his time here and this is another step back IMO.

I'm shocked to see so many on this forum supporting this move. I honestly expected this opposite. To me, the return of Keegan reinforces the outside perception that this club is currently shackled by sentiment and delusion - that only those with an 'understanding' and 'feel' for the Geordie Nation need apply, as the despicable Alan Oliver often reminds us. Keegan had his time and failed. He rode the crest of wave then came crashing back down, unable to deal with the pressure. He was soon found wanting (tactically) at international level. But I naturally wish him well and hope that he does turn us around.

You've really got to question the judgement of Mort and Ashley. Seems they've caved into fan sentiment. Other clubs fans must be pissing themselves laughing at this.

F****** hell. Absolutely devastated. If this is what the majority of fans want, then perhaps we are a bunch of deluded muppets after all. He's had his time here. (my Mam's now on the phone. It's a "f****** joke" apparently )

He keeps the home... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_midlands/7184182.stm

Stupid fucker. If he doesn't start to perform (that's assuming we have him on the pitch and not in jail), he should be dumped ASAP.

I'm torn. We're without a doubt an established mid-table (or slightly lower) team now, but then the playing staff we've had these past few years should suggest otherwise. Have we really picked three dud managers in a row? We no longer have the reputation to attract high calibre managers like Mourinho, so sacking Allardyce now could do more harm than good. I'd give him the season.

new thread title

I'm bored with the football. This is now officially the MONORAIL CAT TRIBUTE THREAD http://paulturnbull.co.uk/Emote/banana.gif http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2007/02/11714107741.gif http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2007/01/2001808227952005328_rs.jpg

Anyone else noticed that Shearer speaks broader Geordie when he's angry?

How the fuck did Gerrard last the entire 90 minutes? He was fucking awful and should have been subbed. Bit gutted that Ashley might lose revenue, but other than that, England can get fucked (Beckham apart).

Same old, same old. I wonder if he'll slate the players on Football on Sunday tomorrow, just like he did last time? Shocking that he did that.

If we get beat today, and Allardyce plays ultra-defensive at Sunderland and we get beat again... he can f**k right off. Already pissed with the fella for not speaking to Radio Newcastle.

lol

Sam is a tw*t for not speaking to Radio Newcastle. We shouldn't be surprised with results like this when the manager starts with the priority of not losing.
