    :smug:

     

    Good manager. Possesses vast knowledge as a true student of the game.

     

    Yes from me

     

    He has also been mentored by the Dalai Lama, is fluent in 24 languages including Swahili and Esperanto and is a registered Jedi Knight.

     

    He's Nile Ranger? ???

     

    Banned for blasphemy.

     

    See ya  :pow:

    Xisco joins Deportivo on loan until the end of the season

    I could understand Xisco not getting a game ahead of Owen, Martins, Viduka, and the relatively more experienced Ameobi.

     

    I cannot for the life of me understand why he won't get a game ahead of Carroll, or at least come on as a sub for him in a 0-0 FA Cup tie??

     

    It's quite clear he has been singled out, and I'm personally not very happy about it.

    Danny Guthrie signed from Liverpool on 4 year deal

    He seems to have a rather deceptive turn of pace at times too, and is capable of wriggling out of tight spots with his fleet-footedness, which is really impressive and something that Scott Parker used to excel at as well.

     

    Given more experience the lad could develop into a very, very good player for us. At the minute he's above average, easily, but there's surely no reason from an ability/age perspective why he shouldn't push on and keep improving.

     

    Let's not get carried away with him though and make him another victim of hype at SJP.

     

    The thing is, for me personally, he's already shown a great deal more than Jenas showed in his time here. Jenas had the technique and vision, but hardly ever applied himself. IMO Guthrie is the real deal in terms of application, and long may it continue to improve. The key is for the player not to believe his own hype and just get on with things.

    The Wise/Jimenez/Vetere AND KEVIN KEEGAN appreciation thread

    Said from day one Wise is not to blame.

     

    So that's obviously why Keegan by the end couldn't stand his guts?

    So? Just because Keegan doesn't like him equates to what? He was ruining the club, the fact the fella walked out showed we are not first in his mind. I fail to see what Wise has done bar stop us getting over-rated trophy signings and securing some good young talent.

     

    Don't talk sense mate! If you don't dream of sucking on Keegan's nads every night in your sleep then you need your head checked

    The most important part of football?

    The difference is that attacking can be done with improvisation, flair and individual ability. Defending requires discipline, training and a lot of organisation. That's why we're right to concentrate on working on the defence at the moment, the rest will look after itself with the players we have.

     

    Exactly. You build attacks from the back, and defend from the front. I have noticed our forwards doing a very good job of defending from the front, and dropping back to help. And with Martins' pace he can afford to do that.

     

    We're not going to win the title or get into the CL this season or next. We might as well establish a solid and stable back 4, to go with good organisation that will last beyond Kinnear, and hopefully spill over into the new manager's reign. I see no reason why the current back 4 along with Taylor shouldn't serve us for a good few years yet.

    He's back?

    Regarding Ashley there isn't a thing that he could do to convince me he was genuine, sincere and whole hearted with his intentions for NUFC. He is a complete fake and a snide b****** to go with it. If he were in the mafia he'd be a rat. We'd be mugs to welcome him back. By all means come back Ashley but stay the f*** in the background and do what you have to do to get things in order.

     

    If a chairman who slagged off Shearer as being boring, and Newcastle women can put things right (which I think Shepherd did to be fair), then why can't Ashley be given a second chance?

     

    I couldn't give a damn about that particular argument, I have no real feelings on the issue other than he will not get another chance with me and there is no chance in hell I would ever welcome his being at Newcastle United regardless. If others want to give him a second chance, knock yourselves out.

     

    You're as fickle as they come. You just admitted you slightly changed your mind about Shepherd. If things start going right, you'll change your mind too

    Stephen Carr

    Not many good memories for old motor carr bar a few crunching challenges and his goal at St. Mary's.

     

    Nowhere near the cult hero he could've become if he'd recovered any of his Spurs form.
