QFT. Ridiculous. Any f***ing thing I can do to stop this from turning into another Keegan fight. I think it's sad you had to though, but fair enough. We all know what Keegan has meant to the club and he has been shown a lot of love and appreciation in numerous other threads. Considering all the abuse the recruitment team have got, it was cool to have an honest thread that recognised the very good work they have done. But still people just couldn't quite bring themselves to just respect that, instead they start crying for Keegan to be included too. I just think it's really silly.

Can't believe Keegan's name has been forced into the title of the thread. So pathetic.

Bingo!

Let's all just hope that part of the reason we went with Kinnear, is because he is close to Wise and is happy to work with the system of recruitment. If so january could be really good for us.

Benitez is definitely funny upstairs. Spends £20 million on Keane and has started antagonising the dude already. Doesn't bring him on against Hull at home even though they are chasing a winning goal. Spends £10 million on Kuyt and then plays him on the right wing, where I know he does a decent job, but he's all graft there and can't really stretch teams. It's all the more bizarre when you consider he has the £10 million Babel on the bench who he never plays anymore. I'll tell you what, once I heard that Rafa rated Milner I knew for a fact that Milner was a horrible player for definite.

I think most managers disagree with you. Yeah...there was an absolute flood of managers after him when he wanted to go wasn't there ? Aston Villa and....and...er... Wasn`t Everton interested? At least more interest in Milner than Zog. I really hope for your sake you are taking the mickey. If you really are an actual Milner fanboy then you might need urgent medical attention.

Is Capello demented? He still hasn't given Ashley Young a game and here he is bigging up James freakin' Milner! Mental. Milner is crap and his ceiling for improvement is low. He pretty much has zero potential.

I would like to see him stay but you guys really need to get a grip! So according to the both of you if Owen comes in demanding £200,000 a week for the next 5 years that's okay? Great negotiating skills. Just stop it.

The thing is I would understand if we were looking to buy someone to compete with him for the position, I mean that's fair enough. But the idea of selling him is a stupid one. He's only young and has very good potential.

Everton being linked with Owen, but I don't see it myself. I could see them coming in for Shola though, as he would be much more affordable. Hope we try to flog them Viduka instead though, or even Smith. Damn! If only Smithy was fit in time for the window.

Or that period when Shola was starting and we just hoofed it long all the time. Or the last home game. Don't get me wrong we do go long sometimes but we're not Stoke or Bolton. We're no worse than the likes of Everton tbh.

Quite bizzare!

He's giving Enrique a run of games. He's stopped with the subbing of Jonas too early. He looks like he will be stopping with the subbing of Martins too early. He's sticking with players who have come in and are performing. All very key. He's getting there. Good to see he can at least acknowledge his errors and look to eradicate them.

I think Joes philosophy is right for our current team. Our attacking players don't need as much work as our defenders I don't think, as they are a pretty talented bunch and are a threat to score goals and create enough opportunities. We are actually playing some decent football a good amount of the time under Kinnear and are looking to pass the ball about, well until Butt gets involved anyway, but still it's not like we've got all men behind the ball with hefty lumps forward whenever we get posession.

Stuck with Bassong and appears to be sticking with Zoggy. Could be huge for our season those two decisions. Good job.

3 year extension please.

Still trying hard not to give Martins any credit, laughable.

So if we pretend we beat Stoke 3 - 0 last week and drew with Popmey 2 -2 today. Not so bad right?

As long as Bassong and Zoggy stay in the team, we have every reason to be optimistic the rest of this season. Taylor and Duff have been exposed and their time of playing first team football should be up.

Viduka needs to be released in the summer. The Shola under Kinnear looks to be more useful than the ever declining and expanding Viduka, who will cost a lot more money too. Agreed Viduka out.

So with no injury in midfield today JK pulls it off. I will be the first to give him some credit as he got so much abuse when things went sour last week. Well done sir. You seem to be at least learning from your mistakes. Well done.

Joe Kinnear is evolving right before our eyes!

Shola what a class ball. Have that Viduka.

Enrique might be man of the match for me. Outstanding game.

We've held the ball for at least 10 mins.
