looking smart

Did he seriously just say Kinnear will be back in the Summer?!

yes  :rant:

Llambias saying Kinnear will return as manager in the summer

Llambias is a cock - fuck off and let Wor Al speak

Its sorted now - the camera angle is fine

There is visual/audio via .co.uk BUT the camera angle is indeed wonky

is this on MancTV?

Yes - Coverage starts at half 6

If drinking was allowed in the stands then i would never go to matches so i like it the way it currently is

Unless ofcourse they want to implement a drinking section - which i would avoid BUT it will allow those who want a drink to do so

Hughton is average BUT he is better than Kinnear

Does anyone have a link to that left footed goal he scored from range?

YOU FECKIN BEAUTY   :celb:

C'mon

will man city be challenging for trophies in the future? very likely.

 

will given be on the bench when said challenges are happening? very likely.

 

Doubt it - brilliant keeper, amongst the best in the world so why would city bench him?

 

he's very replaceable. the richest club in the world will think nothing of benching a £6 million player if a better alternative comes along (and yes, there are better keepers around if you have the money).

In terms of keeper they have a class one - I cant see them targetting the Buffons, Cassilas etc

Its the outfield players that they will target to make themselves a top team

It's sad how many people have turned against Given. I know he didn't leave under the best of circumstances but he was the one player who on a regular basis has called for Newcastle to invest in the squad (from my recollections he's done it before pretty much every transfer window for the last few years). I guess he finally had enough of not being listened to, or perhaps of being lied to, and has gone.  Sadly none of our other players will have the guts to come out and criticise the regime.

 

Perhaps he could have stayed till the end of the season, but he had the chance to get in on the ground floor at a club who are clearly on the up and he took it. I can't resent him for that.

He signed a contract on the basis that as a club we will be looking to progress and try to challenge the top teams - as you say we have done absolutely nowt to show that in the transfer window. Infact we made a profit in this transfer window and im sure we broke even during last summer if not a profit

How do you think the fans who pay a hell of a lot of money to watch Newcastle feel Ahmed?

Obviously they feel bad BUT you cant compare the situations

Fair enough, he wants to challenge for silverware and that, but f***ing hell, City are just as likely to win something this year as we are. He could have waited til the summer.

 

Agree with this. I think that the club would have responded better had he waited until the summer. It would have shown more loyalty to have stayed and fought with us to keep us up. I think the money swayed it to be honest. Had he gone to Arsenal I could have bought his "moving for a chance of success" line, however Man Citeh are no better than we are, as the result at Stoke showed.

 

He was here for 12 years - thats pretty damn loyal, do you want him to get NUFC tatooed on his arse to reinforce it?

 

He has left us cos he knows we are deep in it - he wants to get out while he can and i dont blame him for that.

 

As for moving to Citeh - they are a million times more ambitious than us and thats why he joined them

 

He was paid a hell of a lot of money by Newcastle for 12 years too. Yes I would have expected him to stay and help us get out of the s***, but the money was far more tempting at Citeh.

 

If you believe it was all about money then you need some help lad

 

Its no wonder we are a fuckin mess when legends like Shay Given are being slated - we should be thanking him for 12 years of BRILLIANT service, sticking with us when he could have easily gotten himself a move to a bigger club to earn bigger money

 

I hope he gets a standing ovation the next time he comes to SJP - although the way its going its most likely to happen in a Cup fixture

 

If you think I am a lad then you need some help lad!

 

He spat his dummy out when he was dropped from the team a couple of years ago and wanted to leave. He got straight back into the team when he was fit despite Harper doing a perfectly fine job standing in for him. He should have stayed until the summer.

 

Lad, mate, uncle - whatever the point remains.

 

Given is a legend and has been brilliant for us - Im certainly not going to forget all his years of service and start discrediting him

 

Try another gender Ahmed

 

Whatever you say sonna. But don't forget that he deserted us when we needed him.

Ooops - sorry  

I dont think we 'need' him as Harper is a more than capable keeper. Our problems are not the Goalkeeping area

It says a lot about the state of the club that the loyalist player we have had in the past 20 years (the older posters amongst us can go back further) has decided enough is enough

Something some of you seem to forget is one of the most importent things, motivation. It was clear already after the loss against Liverpool, which Given branded the lowest point in his career, that he didn't had the motivation anymore to fight day in and out with a team that only went downhill. Also when he joined City he said that he was really looking forward to the training on monday, like he had not done that for awhile in Newcastle.

 

Based on this I think he left in just the right time. I rather have an eager Harper that now has the chance to show he can fill the void from Given, then having an unmotivated goalkeeper, that just wished he played in a better team.

Exactly - I felt so sorry for him during that Liverpool game, You could see the pain on his face and that rant at the ref of his revealed his frustrations

He was sick of it - He stuck with us through many lows BUT this was one kick too many

you're a ray of sunshine today aren't you Geordie Ahmed?

Im stuck at Uni reviewing articles - its bloody boring

Oh and its pretty painful being a newcastle supporter right now

I mean we were quite angry as soon as KK left BUT Ashley didnt even flinch

 

Eh?

 

From where I'm standing it looked like he absolutely s*** his pants and threw away all his plans for club. In fact that's the biggest mistake he made.

 

I wish he had the balls not to flinch, then we wouldn't be in this f***ing horrible situation now.

 

There were no plans for the club - he is a fat lying b******, you simply have to look at how much we have spent on transfers and all the lying he has done to realise that.

 

 

That's just plainly wrong though, he came in and instituted a review of the club led by Chris Mort that revealed our true situation, and put in place a recruitment/back room system that he thought would help us get by on limited funds - the very system that supposedly led to Keegan's departure.

 

Don't know where you get the idea he never had a plan, the problem is that he couldn't stick to it through the hard times.

Hmmm let me guess, the fact that we are up shit creek without a paddle

Keegan left because he was being undermined and promises were broken

Just been on SSN;

 

"I felt Newcastle could have dealt with it a little bit better, to be honest,"

 

"I spent nearly 12 years of my life there, and that's a long time. I want to thank the fans for the support they've given me over the years. They're absolutely phenomenal.

 

"But this is a new challenge, and a new set of supporters to try and impress.

 

"I'd been there nearly 12 years, and with the service I'd given the club, I felt the regime could have dealt with it a little better.

 

"I was disappointed with the way the regime handled it.

 

"It's a difficult time for Newcastle. They're going through a difficult period, and the fans deserve better. They're extremely loyal supporters up there.

 

"They want the club to be firing up the league, and I wish them well.

 

"The Liverpool game was a real kick in the teeth. It was a low point in my career, and a low point for everyone.

 

"I wasn't very comfortable with the way the club was - I wanted to be challenging for silverware, but I didn't know if I was going to leave the club.

 

"I'll be forever grateful for what (the fans) have done for me in my career, but I felt the regime were very unhelpful."

What a legend - dont blame him for leaving, he was well aware of the damage Ashley and Co are doing to this club.

Shay is a Geordie and im sure he will return in some capacity one day (Well providing the fat cunt is finally gone)

He is obviously gonna answer the questions like a politician so really its a waste of time
