Well since they expressed an interest in taking charge of us yes I do. That's all I'm basing it on, the fact that these managers came out and said they'd like to have a go.

So he's proud of having us teetering 2 points off the relegation zone by New Year, with a squad boasting genuine quality like Michael Owen, Martins, Beye, Given, Nicky Butt, Jonas. The guy's a f***ing clown. How anyone can't be thoroughly f***ing sick of this utter muppet taking our team forward is beyond me. Makes me vom, the idea that this is the guy who is our current pioneer. He's a knob. And i know there's no one better and he's better than Hughton, blah blah blah, but i mean someone on here summed it up earlier on. "I think he's done a better job than any of us could." Oh right, that's alright then, thank f*** we didn't appoint a total amateur from an internet message board with no footballing experience whatsoever. We'd really be in the s*** then. Funny thing is Keegan had a similar record at the end of last season and most seen it as being great. Spot on baggio. Can't see why everyone is being so f***ing ungrateful. Ungrateful? So who else would have come to save us? f***ing superman? f*** no. Fact is kinnear had the bollocks to go for the job, where as many, many c***s turned it down. He was what, 17th choice? What else do you f***ing expect? How about Descamps & Zico who both expressed an interest. Oh yeah.. and that Turkish coach, what was his name? Kinnear owes us if anything. Without us what other club would have brought him back into management? We may be in the shits now and over the last few seasons but not too long ago who used to be a massive club in the champions league, UEFA and we've consistently had world class players over the last 10-15 years. He'll never get the chance to manage a club as big as this again, even if we are looking an absolute state right now.

It's more than just a quality keeper we'll miss, it's a member of the dressing room that's seen 11 years at this club. He's as much a part of Newcastle as the stadium, the atmosphere and the constant up and downs. Losing him would be a massive sign of where this club is heading and will be nothing other than detrimental.

Off-field problems apparently.

We haven't been able to cope with injuries for years, as soon as we have any our complete lack of depth becomes apparent.

Still out? b******. I thought he'd have made this one with Kinnear saying he was about 50/50 to play in the Wigan game. “Beye’s on crutches and you’d think he’s going to be out at least three weeks. “Viduka’s got a torn groin muscle, and I’d think he would be at least three weeks as well. “Oba Martins will be at least two weeks minimum. “We already know Joey Barton is down, and with Nicky Butt going down against Liverpool, who knows what the team will be at Hull? “I can’t see any of the injured players coming back. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2008/12/29/newcastle-set-for-hectic-transfer-window-kinnear-72703-22566437/ Hadn't seen that, cheers. Given Taylor - Coloccini - Bassong - N'Zogbia Jonas - Geremi - Guthrie - Duff Xisco - Owen Subs: Harper, Edgar, Kadar, Doninger, Lua Lua, Carroll, Ameobi Why people continue to pick Xisco in their starting line up ahead of Carroll, Ameobi ( Late fitness test ) or anyone is beyond me. He has played a few times and has been worse than Rossi was from what I have seen. Its strongly rumored he was so rubbish its part of the reason Keegan went mental and left. Kinnear obviously doesn`t rate him either. Carroll and Ameobi have at least been average this season. I reckon at a guess Ranger would be more worthy of a place in the team than Xisco So because you've only seen him a few times and in your opinion is worse than Rossi, again based on seeing him a few times, he shouldn't be given a chance? I'll base my opinion of him and the reason for putting him in the starting line up on more than a few games. It's the FA cup aswell.. we don't have the squad depth to play our best possible XI week in week out as just a few injuries have shown us. Plus it'd give him a chance to prove himself worthy of some kind of first team place. He's a decent player from what I saw from his last season in La Liga. I highly doubt the reason that Keegan walked out was because he was 'so rubbish' Yeah sorry he is the next Raul with his 1 goal to 2 games ratio in the Canary Islands 2nd divsion when he was 20 yrs old. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1052723/Xisco-Dont-blame-Keegan-farce--I-just-want-score-Newcastle.html Xisco's signing is believed to have been a major factor in Keegan's resignation after Newcastle's director of football Dennis Wise and his assistant Tony Jimenez organised the deal for the striker. http://icnewcastle.icnetwork.co.uk/newcastleunited/sundaysun/2008/09/05/the-reasons-why-kevin-keegan-resigned-72703-21681798/ He certainly made it clear that he was not interested in the signing of Spanish Under-21 international Xisco. How many times has Jk used him since he was back from injury too ? I stick by what I said, My opinion is not based just on what little we have all seen of him but by that, 2 managers opinions and what I have read about him stats etc I feel Carroll and Ameobi are better suited to the Prem. The FA Cup is more physical too. Ok then.. you've given me two articles as your evidence. Fair enough. Neither have any actual quotes from either manager writing off Xisco so could be complete conjecture and I see one is written by Alan Oliver, the oracle of NUFC truth. Have a word. And also saying that I think that a player who impressed in his La Liga games (I've underlined that, since you ignored that the first time) scoring 5 goals in his first two games following his loan and proving a promising target man who although isn't filled with goals, will help provide them and work for the team looks better than Shola "Got a brand new hip" Ameobi and Andy Carroll is hardly the same as saying that he's the next Raul. Grow up. Also I wouldn't base footballing opinion on what Kinnear says, the man rates Duff highly and it took an injury for N'Zogbia to get in the team. I wouldn't be surprised if Xisco being left out was more personal reasons, like Roeder and Luque but we'll never know.

Can birds fly? hehe hes faster then Martins imo I'd like to see that race I reckon Martins is faster. I'd say so aswell Martins doesn't use his pace well though. For someone so quick, how many times do you see him running clear of the last defender? Thats true, i wonder why that is. He's also a slow dribbler because he takes too many touches, Henry would kick it in front of him and catch up with the ball, Martins needs to learn to do that if he's as quick as we think he is. Because he lacks that intelligence that's the difference between a good footballer and a great footballer. He has the pace and power, but he'll never know how to really use it.

Martins is faster, he just hardly ever uses it.

Naughton would be a good signing as backup to Beye, he's a good player. If we could get him for just a few million that'd be good business. Only 20 as well.

Linked with Spurs.

;DItalian communication? I've just realised, I can't think of many Italian players in the premiership at all.

We have the means to bring in 5 players? Like.. we have the money to, or we're trying to bring 5 in?

Million dollar baby, mean machine was alright, gridiron gang was watchable. There's some half decent ones about, like.

Not to mention that Deco offers a threat on goal, scoring from outside the box and from deadball situations - both of which we lack.

Sounds like something Real would do to be honest. Crackers.

Yeah but he speaks in Spanish so it's harder to criticize him really haha.

Shearer did better than Beckham I reckon in the film.

I definitely would not cash in on Given in January. What'd be the point?

Correct. Isnt there a blooper with the Kluivert goal v Chelsea as well Think so, like the yellow ball turns white when they celebrate. Not 100% sure but isn't the signing of that other striker like a month before the end of the season.. Yeah it's something daft like that. The timeline in it is really muddled up. It's watchable though, they're meant to be making a third one where he plays for Argentina, or are, or have, or whatever. Mexico? Aye, Mexico even. I read somewhere ages ago it'd be Argentina I'm sure.. ahh well. Wonder if Sven'll be in it again

2010. Cheers Does that mean the next home kit will only be for one season then, or will they just changed the sponsor?

Surely the Northern Rock sponsorship is nearly up? How much longer are we stuck with them?

Some of our current players would get destroyed in masters football.

You're probably getting at this and I'm being dense but Robson said we should go for Steve Bruce a few times in the last year or so..
