He'll have been in mind from day one without a doubt, and was clearly the back-up option in case Beckford & Moses failed. Good to see the club actually have an insurance policy for once in that respect. certainly hope so. Tbh I reckon Moses was more an opportunistic target as a result of Palace going into admin rather than being a target whom we'd scouted for any length of time.

From what I've read he's pretty immobile. I think people just assume he has pace because he's a black guy. The key question is whether or not he's any better than Harewood, because that's who we'd have gone back to. Very true. In which case I hope he's just able to be in the right place at the right time. Will probably help having a little more creativity on the right wing - here's hoping.

Looking forward to seeing this guy for myself tbh. No good bashing the guy before he's even pulled on a Toon shirt. At the end of the day as long as he's got a bit of pace he'll be another option if Loven is out - at the moment he is our only forward with pace and, you never know, he might just step up to the plate if he's got the opportunity. We'll see I suppose. Better than nee fucker at all.

Is Vaughn any good? I reckon the other team poss. in for him could be Derby - I remember Clough saying he'd like to take I'm back after he had to finish his loan there early due to injury

if that is a genuine reason, I cant blame the kid to be honest. Martinez has always struck me as an articulate, young and ambitious manager keen to play football the right way. In contrast, Hughton. I wonder what he said?

Do you think the fact that playing in front of 40,000 rather than 20,000 fans will be a bit more of a lure? Also, has he got any links here with other players other than Ranger?

Has Hughton actually picked a team without a DM in it this season?

How much would Moses be available for? - i.e. is he likely to be out of our price range anyway. Tbh, if I was fat Ash I'd be thinking, 'young talent, with the promise to get better with right coaching etc. buy him cheap now and sell for a profit in a year/year and a half or so'.

To be honest I'm hoping that the West Brom game and the results tonight will have been enough to give them a kick up the arse. God knows they've needed it.

Fucking West Brom. How many points are we ahead of them now?

If Shearer does go and we go down my undoubted favourite would be Steve Coppell.

Im based in Norwich and owing to the ridiculous train costs (and hassle) it's been difficult to get to any games this year.

Get that utter fucking clueless cretin of a manager out of this club and things will look rosier. Under his stewardship I cannot feasibly see us getting a win anytime soon - even away to Brom. Cannot put into words how frustrated, disappointed and angry I am with the situation at the moment. Have tried to feel apathetic about us and football in general recently, just to stop the constant frustration but time and time again I'm drawn back. Nolan's signing gave me real hope only for it to be dashed once again today.

If Smith saves our season I'll eat the biggest hat you can find. Actually you can fill the biggest hat you can find with shit and I'll eat that. That's how certain I am that it'll never happen. Odds on more bookings than goals again for Smith this season? mackems.gif That's better, nothing like a bit of Smith bashing to cheer up a fucking awful day!

To be fair, with a complete cretin in charge there is no way we were ever going to buy foreigners with potential and promise - Kinnear's a more 'good old English clogger' type of manager. The fact Xisco has barely been given a chance shows this. Despite the speculation I'm not sure that Donadel or Veloso are JFK type signings

One good signing would have done, like. Agree. Would have done wonders for morale - could have given players and fans a real impetus for the forthcoming run-in. We were promised so much but, once again, we are let down. What a fucking joke - I guarantee fat Ash will regret this.

I highly doubt that. Exactly, we would have added a talented, young midfielder to our squad which would have seen us improve no end. I think the real damage that has been done in this window is in terms of morale. Even one more player, in a position that we needed bodies i.e. CM, would have done the world of good to morale around the place and may have given players and fans that extra impetus needed for forthcoming games. With the situation as it is, we better start getting some form together and start praying!

Spurs won't sell? Redknapp compared his finishing with that of his wife's in public! Not whilst Defoe is on the sidelines. If they can bring in Keane the wobbly cunt might sell but even then I don't think they'll take less than £12-15 million - money that I can't see Ashley spending on one player alone at the mo.

We're dreaming if we think Bent is coming up here. Spuds won't sell and if he had a choice between us and the Mackems I don't think he'd come here.

Kinnear out.

One of Kinnear's problems is that, rather like Roeder, he seems 'starstruck' by 'big name' players. Therefore, rather than substitute the 'big name' players such as Owen, Butt and Duff, he'd much rather take off others to the detriment of the team. Wanker.

I refuse to believe that Kinnear is the only man for the job at this time. I thought this club had sunk to new depths with Roeder but this really does beggar belief. Not even a Championship manager. Why the fuck did Ashley decide to make him permanent until the end of the season? He could have given him until the Chelsea game, by which time the KK animosity had settled down somewhat and some results had gone our way, and then found a more competent manager - I'm certain that there would have been better prospects that JFK. After a few decent results and a move up the table Ashley might even have begun to win back some credibility. If only things were this fucking simple.

I cannot believe for one second that only Kinnear wants this job at the moment. I'm just gutted that Ashley has decided not to put up a bit of fight and win back some respect by employing a competent manager.

What a fucking disgrace. Clueless cunt Kinnear at it again - too regular to be a coincidence 2-2 against Man Shitty, courtesy of a late goal, 2-2 against Wigan, courtesy of a late goal and now against fucking Stoke. If we've got any hope of pulling ourselves clear of the zone Kinnear needs a fucking lesson in holding a lead. Cunt.

Kinnear, you fucking clown - I feel fucking sick Does anyone think Ashley will get rid if we're in the bottom three by Jan?
