Keegan obviously did the right thing, then, as Thompson turned into a model pro and has had a good career. He was only 19, wouldn't read too much into it.

He's a billionaire you nutter His personal fortune was over £2 billion before he took over.. £1800 million when he took over, £1200 million now. That is 33% of his wealth lost since coming here. Only two years left at this rate "The only way to become a millionaire by running a football club is to start off as a billionaire". I don't know who said that.

Tony Mowbray can speak English but with a strangely mangled diction. Maybe he could be your halfway house? Thats just a good Boro accent! Surely Mowbray has also suffered some kind of head trauma to sound like that though? I've got mates of the Boro persuasion, and he sounds like they would if they'd spent 3 months in intensive care or had a stroke.

I know it is easy for me to say this, but I think people need to chill out a bit. Lots of journalists wringing sensational headlines out of nothing, people on the internet getting themselves in a tither. All over what is almost certainly nothing. This summer, when the last kick of the season has finished, that's it for me. No football web sites over the summer, no frantic checking for transfer gossip, no worrying about transfer budgets. Things are only going to get more stressful.

Absolute stroke of genius. Think back to England making (nearly) the same mistake two years ago, then make it yourself. What an idiot.

What nonsense. Stephen Carr seems right choice for O'Neill 7/05/2008 Martin O'Neill has turned to Newcastle's Stephen Carr to fill Aston Villa's vacancy at right-back after being priced out of a move for Jose Boswinga. O'Neill was quoted £16.5million for Porto's Portugal international, but Carr, 31, is available on a free this summer. The Villa boss is desperate for at least one new right-back as Olof Mellberg is joining Juventus, while Nigel Reo-Coker and Craig Gardner have had to play there in emergencies this season I'm not accusing you of nonsense, I'm accusing the Daily Mirror. And I'm trying to get you to bite. The words "Stephen", "Carr" and "Villa" in close proximity make me shiver. In a bad shiver way.

He's not afraid to. 9.65 on Young 9-10 on Curtis Davies 8.5 on NRC.

Come on Newcastle, do us a fucking favour and turn them over.

I agree with the sentiment, but that phrase always makes me laugh - "look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself a few questions". *looks self in mirror* "Did i look better when I had hair?" "When did i start puting all this weight on?" "Is my third chin immediately obvious?" "What is that weird hair growing out of my right nostril?"

Fair play to the bloke. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article3876373.ece

Surely our ambition extends beyond signing these sort of players Steven Davis is step up attacking wise to most of our midfielders. Johnson I am not sure of. Steven Davis isn't good enough for top level football, sadly.

He's being paid by us at the moment. He should be keeping quiet and not saying anything at all to the press.

The thing about letting loads of players go at once, is that you then have to replace them all pretty quickly. Regardless of whether or not a club has the money, it is actually quite hard to sign good players these days. We've also got the European Championships this summer, nothing much will be happening whilst they are on, I imagine. I'd expect evolution rather than revolution if I were you.

I remember that ugly cunt Stubbs telling Rooney to go to United. I wonder if Berger is in an agents pocket too? Berger is an absolute wanker for that. Refused to play for the reserves last season, so MON sent him on loan to Stoke. Comes back a reformed character, plays about three times due to injury, wangles himself a final one year contract which is just about to end, then comes out with this shit. Wanker.

Unlike that hairy handed Coventry cocksucker Richard Keys "David, you played abroad, what is that period of adaption like?" David Platt. He's another former hero of mine I now can't stand. He's also such an ugly bastard. His face looks like a normal person's face as viewed in the reflection on the back of a dessert spoon

Blimey. Torres has learned English quickly.

5th is still yours to lose, though. If only we hadn't turned in our worst performance of the season yesterday

Fucking GET IN Arsenal. About time.

Mellberg, Sorensen and Moore are going. I think we need GK RB x 2 LB RM Striker. At least. You should sign Boruc, or weren't you linked with him the other day? We're always getting linked with Celtic players, but yes, he would be a good shout. I can't believe how much Carson has gone downhill. Flaps aimlessly, positioning is hopeless, confidence is shot. He never seems to "make saves", stupid though that sounds.

Nah. I was too het up and upset, to be honest. I can't stand the sight of Steve Bruce doing well. Valencia. He's some player. As is Palacios. No wonder Taggart wants them. I've got a ticket for West Ham away next week. I'm going to have sleepless nights this week, that match will define our season. We could finish 9th or we could finish 5th (well, depending on Everton's result tomorrow). Incidentally, watching Barry today reminded me that he's had at best half a season. Liverpool can have him for 15m. Or we'll take Carson plus 20 million. Still been a good season though all things considered surely? Oh god, yes, it has been excellent. Just like Villa to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory like we did today, though. I'm just worried about how much we've got to do in the summer window, the squad is so small and getting smaller. Titus was effective today, incidentally.

If you beat West Ham and we return the favour against Everton then we're both benefitting, it sounds like a plan. Sounds a winner to me!
