Not having a go at all, but why do you think this? To me it's made me sway much more away from trying to see reason in the Club's actions - seems they were a complete shambles right throughout this episode.

Gross assumption there and quite a big difference between not being 100% in favour and explicitly stating that he wanted nothing to do with the player and the club still insisting on signing him anyway. Yes, he could have just ignored the situation and ignored the player and carried on regardless but would Keegan have been acting in the club's and the fans best interests by accepting any player foisted on him, letting the owner's lie to the press and not saying a word? I for one think what he did was in the best interest of the fans as well as himself. Now we can all see that Keegan loved the club, didn't want to leave and got royally f***ed over by those in charge. I really don't see any logic in the 'it happens elsewhere so he should have just got on with it'. It's like saying someone who works in finance and quits and goes to the authorities because his company has people insider trading should have just put their head down and got on with their job as it happens in plenty of places. Absolute bollocks, if you have principles you should stick to them and if they're honourable principles you should be applauded for doing so. Thanks for the memories Mr Keegan, you didn't deserve any of this. Nah, don't get me wrong, that's a good point. All I'm saying that these are legal arguments and court representations - not necessarily reflecting the many shades of grey in whether or not it was really the 'last straw'. Totally agree the club are in the wrong here... it's a lot easier to accept that now we have some actual information about what happened.

Also raises the interesting possibility that KK could return again under a new owner, no?

Does this not happen quite often though, a player is bought or sold without the manager being 100% in favour? I would think it does. I agree KK was right to be annoyed and object to it, but not whether it really amounts to constructive dismissal. Farcical behaviour from the club though obviously, seems like even they didn't know what they had said about who would have final say on transfers. If this really did happen to keep agents happy then it's unforgivable.

Thing is, you could equally say that any number of our other players can't cross, pass, or score. And another load of them can't even run. I know Jonas doesn't get assists or goals, but I still think what he gives to the team with energy and keeping the pressure on the opposition makes up for that. Yes, Nolan as contributed so far, but that's the exception for him, not the norm.

I kind of agree, on the 'to replace' list Jonas would be right down the bottom, surely. Other than Enrique who I believe is definitely good enough for the Prem.

If getting her to think of the future worked she obviosuly wasn't a Hull fan.

Maybe, after we've replaced the other 5 or 6 useless midfielders though.

The camera adds two stone apparently.

Thats all a bit wishy washy to be honest. Its not as if we are celebrating him snapping both legs in half rendering him unable to walk for the rest of his life. The guy has sustained yet another niggly little injury in the circumstances which appear to be similar to those that made NUFC fans cynical of the little shithead in the first place. He deserves nothing less than total contempt from us - balances out for the total contempt that he holds for us. You think he didnt laugh when Blackpool beat us last week ? I don't think it's 'wishy washy' at all, whatever you mean by that. I just think it['s a bit sad to be looking out for injuries to a player who should just be forgotten about, and even enjoying them. I doubt he even looks at Newcastle results TBH.

Fair enough, just saying I don't want to celebrate someone getting injured. He's not our player anymore, forget about him.

I don't want to see any professional footballer injured... it's a stupid thing to celebrate. Yes, it makes us feel smug as we knew it would happen eventually - makes us look a bit pathetic though IMO.

I said this a while ago, it's against my nature to be too confident about Newcastle but there's only so long we can hold onto this false fear and modesty about upcoming games. We've played the 'best teams in the league' and haven't had many major problems... we have every reason to be confident.

He's right though Roger, obviously if other teams were better we wouldn't be doing so well... but they aren't.

I just bought a new home top the other week. Also would like to know exactly how much is going to the foundation.

Similar thing but no postage and packaging. sign up its free and great fun. Sounds good, but I'm already in two fantasy leagues and online Pro Evo. Might be time to stop joining any more games!

I used to play in a play-by-mail league where you filled in a team and tactics on a sheet and posted it off. It was fun!

Really? Never come across this phrase in my life, either spoken or in print, from anyone ever! Is that the best he can do? As windups go it's a desperate effort. That's what I thought, I've never heard it used by anyone ever.

I've never read or heard anyone referring to us as blubbers before, or mentioning crying in any way related to NUFC or its fans. Seems this has just come out of nowhere and is total bollocks. Far too many opinion pieces online in recent times.

One of a few clubs that is not named after geographical location. Erm, they are actually, Queens Park in North West London.

I watched 'Just Call Me Bobby' on DVD last night, can't stress enough what an amazing man he was. Got the feeling he could have gone on forever...

I would like us to keep Simpson (maybe), Harewood isn't premiership quality and not sure about K-dog yet.

Sorry.

I am from south of the tyne, got to admit.

I'm not one of those by the way, I just think the song is stupid. While you're on your crusade you should remind people that the "Blaydon" Races were actually at Stella Haugh and stopped in 1916, so unless they're over 93 they are lying when they say they went there, and unless they are 147+ certainly didn't go on 9/6/1862. Not sure what point you're trying to make here. I'm not arguing that every football song needs to be ratified and fact-checked. All I'm saying is that everyone knows Ashley isn't a cockney (he isn't even a Londoner), so in my opinion singing that song does us no favours and I'd rather we didn't. I don't see why that's such a bad thing to say.
