I think Lawrie Sanchez would have me crying like a baby if he was given the job

have just been thinking today in the light of the fact that we didnt have, as was the initial assumption, a ready-to-replacement, has it been disscussed anywhere in the papers or on the TV, as to why Allardyce has been sacked as what appears to be a bad time. Have any of the media or fans of other clubs considered the fact that Sam might have been sacked for reasons that we will probably never hear of. People get sacked all the time for incidents at work; perhaps something happened that is totally unrelated to everything else that has been discussed. Perhaps he clumped someone ?

I wasnt sure which thread in which to ask this question but as I havent read all of the various interviews today; has it been mentioned at all how long Mike and Chris are going to take to appoint ?

Cant see him leaving there. Settled in the North West ready and waiting for the Man U job when it comes up. Plus, doing good steady, if unspectacular, job at Blackburn. dont think he is that stupid or arrogant to leave to come here Out of the running I would say

0-1 Given Own Goal

Newcastle gifted Sunderland that win after all the unsettling this week. Topped this weekend off lovely really Edit.... Sorry. Bolton winning would top of the weekend lovely. Are these 2 managers losing deliberately so we cool our interest in them ?

Cant for the life of me think where you find the optimism

Or we uneccessarily unsettle 2 teams who lose to 2 of our relegation rivals, leaving us further in the shite

He's is getting ready to tell KK what has been gong on the last 10 years

Absolutely. A trophy yes. I have watched Keegans football and yes it was great. It still leaves us however, with a tag in the media of "but what did they win" so I am desperate for us to win one. I can watch videos and dvd's of the keegan era etc but at the end I just think about how we didnt end up with the ultimate joy of winning something It may be vain but I am fucking fed up of the media and other fans having a pop at us so winning a cup clears up a whole group of thing for us. Plus... how can we not want to see a player in a black and white shirt lifting a cup aloft ?

Why do all these people on telly say "Newcastle fans werent happy with the style of football Sam played". For me thats bullshit (in part) - it wasnt JUST the style of football played. They always omit to mention the baffling team selections and playing of players in the wrong positions. I think if his style had been effective, he would still have had a job and a fair percentage of fans would be behind him. So do these pundits deliberately choose not to mention these facts or is it just that old myth being bought by them all ?

Depends on his transfer activity. Entirely on that. I'm just impressed that he can do so much with a tiny squad, with some positions lacking in quality and others lacking in, well, anyone. There in lies the proof that a good manager can get any squad of premiership players playing to a decent level.

I've got to agree unfortunately. The media have it into thier heads that is all that we want, and wanted last summer, have plenty of footage to show it to be true and have brodcast that 'fact' so much it must be true that any decent manager will not touch us with a fifty foot disinfected barge pole. If this story is true then it really is a sad indictment of Ashley and Mort and their decision making

Right there is the opening chant for wednesday

What did he say exactly Just said on MOTD that Shearer told him it's highly unlikely. Pity as I think it would probably save us from this shit tip of a season

Not MORE desperate journalism. When will we understand that these papers just fill their pages full of any old shit - especially where we are concerned

Whats he said about Arsenal

I found that a most interesting comment too. Looks very much like a case of the players werent behnd him. Is that Sams or the players fault though ?

That desire for utter perfection in his teams performances. Wish our managers and players had that

The Austrian training camp were good days... seems a fuckin million miles away now

So your advice is to put money on Man U to win the Champion League ?

Fair to say that this has gone as bad as we possibly thought it could of tonight. Hope Ashley and Mort are going to enjoy their Saturday night cos if they dont sort this out soon then I think the fans are going to be voicing comments inn their direction.

Even that Bellend Portsmouth supporter is on SSN slagging us off for being fickle. Have a look at yourself you cunt

What's wrong with that? I mean, we can really move on when the "Blind Shearer Worship" stuff is really finished. And there is also the slight possibility tht Shearer might be a success. We are assuming Shearer will be shit but the great thing about this sport that we love is that we just have no way of knowing whats around the corner. Could Shearer be the one to really get Owen playing again ?
