Thing is, they just print whatever will sell at the time, during the first Keegan era they were loving us.

I'm a much better player now (25) than I was at 18 or 19!

Bit of a stupid stance to take. If they are good enough to improve our team's league position, we get benefit from it, and it is irrelevant if we are helping Arsenal, as they aren't in our league. You've got a point, but it's a bit more complicated than that. He'll be keeping out one of our players (e.g. Lua Lua), who we should be developing, and then he'll return to Arsenal... leaving the real issue of our lack of quality still unsolved. Don't think it's worth it to make the difference between finishing 13th and 11th, for example.

Don't agree with us giving a rival club's players premiership experience. If Wenger wants Walcott to play down the middle, he should put him in the team.

Especially if you make a habit of hitting the fullback with them. Touche

Also, crosses into the box are less likely to be accurate than central defenders knocking it between themselves.

He might be right, but if we had had a manager Diarra might well have joined us anyway.

Not sure, I would think KK would be likely to hang on to Martins as he provides pace and a direct threat... and no reason to let Owen go really as he's just getting some games under his belt and might be useful again soon. No need to choose between the two... keep them both, maybe even play them both.

Particularly badly-timed suggestion since both Zoggy and Duff are looking better than ever at the moment. To get rid of either to make room for Milner would be a bad move IMO. The bigger question is who we are going to bring in to provide an equal threat on the right?

Can we tighten the new thread rules again?

I really don't get this 'expectations' stuff... what do we expect? Only to be positive and committed... nothing else IMO.

I think you're right HTT, they basically resent the fact that we think of ourselves as 'different' or 'special'. Worse still, we might have a point.

I went to training years ago at Maiden Castle and was late catching Kev to get him to sign my shirt. Even though he was already in the car he got back out and signed it for me, true gent!

What is this, fucking Heat magazine?

I've never watched a 15 minute press conference all the way through, but with Kev I couldn't turn it off. The guy is a genius the way he inspires people, the last couple of minutes especially amazing. Can't wait to see how this all works out.

I'm off down the 'dockside' for a pint now! I honestly don't care about this stuff though, nobody else understands what it's like

You're over-thinking it. He needs to be shot. That's all. That was the answer I had in mind

Is the video serious though, or has Olly just got an amazing sense of post-modern irony and comedic genius?

Loving the random USE of capitals! Doubt the lads would use any words like "astute" though

Exactly, at least we won't be shrugging our shoulders anymore, apathy was in real danger of setting in with a succession of underwhelming appointments. Redknapp or Hughes would have just been a continuation of that.

I think from what we heard from Shearer he respects KK and would not pose a threat to him as number two. Based on that I would love him to come in...

I want to be cynical, but the mood at the moment means I agree with this!

Yep Tears and other bodily fluids...

Well fasten your setabelt for the next KK era then!

Aye, gettinthere!!!!
