Robster

This puzzles me, because as far as I know he's back from injury and apart from 45 minutes, hasn't even figured for the reserves. I wonder whether JK is keeping him under wraps, because he'll turn 18 this week and presumably the club will seek to tie him to a full professional contract. Maybe he's worried that the likes of Wenger will steal him from under our noses. Just a thought. Judging by yesterday, I dont think he is that astute

Is he on glue ?

I havent got SS1. Keep us up to date please mate

Yep. Yet another example how the fan in the stand can see what the manager cant. It scares me to think how many times this can happen between now and May.

The worry is that no matter how well we play, everyone will be expecting Joe to do something to fuck it up. He is going to wreak havoc with our confidence

Isnt Joe Kinnear on Goals on Sunday tomorrow ? If I have remembered correctly... THAT should be interesting

As Kinnear made the effort to put down the previous management's training regime, I can see exactly why he isnt prepared to adopt that same regimes team formation. Stubborn fool

It was like Roeder all over again, we played well when the team picked itself, it turned to shit through intervention from the manager who couldn't get it right. Actually, it was a mixture of Souness and Roeder.

Thats exactly it. Part and parcel of an ex players make up.

I am intrigued by his thinking. If your team has had a great 45 and you find yourself with an injured player, isnt one of your first thoughts to try to keep any changes to an absolute minimum - and if possible just replace like for like. Just cant workout why he would think such a movement of personnel in one hit would be a good idea.

I think this is very possible - very quickly. If all the people on this board could see the mistakes he made, it certain they will as well.

Sadly, I wonder if he just "assumed" that Stoke wouldnt improve

Its the manner of the result that is the most disappointing. I always thought this might be a stiff test due to their physical approach, long ball, long throw tactics. Had it been a ding-dong game and ended 2-2, I would have been disppointed but maybe not massively surprised. I am not sure it was the most winnable home game of the season. Plus Stoke havent done too badly for themselves so far this season However, to capitulate in a game in which we were in such complete and utter control for 45 minutes is like a sucker-punch to the stomach.

For me he simply side-stepped the opportunity to go with the 3 up front and come out for the 2nd half with an attacking mentality

Doesnt bother me. Just another footballer scoring against a former side. To be expected. Just a proof of lack of class - expected from most footballers these days

I am sticking with my 7

Didnt you say earlier that God must love NUFC ?

GET IN !!!!

Arsenal 1-0 up on Wigan Chelsea 2 nil up at Bolton now. Record on its way

Looking forward to seeing that already

Not the 1st time thats been said this season

a Video for just one game. Fucking hell :lol: EDIT : Was right behind the goal when Liam's goal went in. Fucking mint.

very risky to hire him in the first place.. done nowt to deserve a PL job Well, he did reasonably well at Macclesfield and MK Dons did he not? Did excellent jobs at both places. I liked the idea that he had done stints in a lower league

I think Y-G, that the reaction of the lads and lasses on here when he took Oba off, confirm that most people, if not everyone, would agree with you. It does seem like he just didnt have the guts to take Michael.

See on SSN web site, Curbishley has thrown his hat into the ring for the Makems job. I think he is more the type of person who would get on with Quinn. May mean that Sam's best bet is Blackburn
