Why's everyone jumping on a random story in The Sun about Best? Sounds like they're putting 2 and 2 together without realising the paucity of our striking options. He's cheap, he's decent, he's no bother, won't mind sitting on the bench at times. Doesn't add up for me, this one.

Shame if true. But yeah: too injured; too often.

I'm at a Christening in Wales on the Saturday and staying the whole weekend, so I'm kind of hoping for Swansea away and for it to get switched to the Sunday.

The guy's a fucking cretin.

Weird isn't it, you'd think he'd scored 30 goals for us from centre midfield in the last 2 seasons or something. Tell me about it, still you can't stop your best players leaving when the top clubs come in for them. It was only natural that he would be in such demand after scoring so many goals. Such a WUM. You were confused as to why he's so highly regarded amongst our support, I gave you 1 reason.

We came back from 2 down at home to Wigan. and were shite on the day. Well yeah. We got a last-gasp result out of it though and the point was about team spirit. Actually I'm not sure what the point was since the only one of those games Nolan didn't feature in is Wigan.

Oh yeah, that'll be it.

What had Kevin Keegan done when he was appointed Newcastle manager the first time around? Sometimes it's worth the risk. Appoint someone like Billy Davies and there's every chance they'll continue to tread water as they have done for years on end. They need someone with a point to prove that will change the club from top to bottom. They'll also need investment.

Well that's frankly even more ludicrous than Wullie's comment. Spiteful enough?

There's a tinge of spite towards him within a lot of comments on here. I'm not sure I can be arsed to dig them up. It's rarely "I suspect he won't make it as a manager based on _______ but good luck to him", and generally more "clueless" this and "got us relegated" that.

Hope he does well. I'd given up all hope of him doing this tbh. Far better than him taking over us when we're at another low ebb, let's see what he can offer at another club and good luck to him. Cardiff are a state atm but they're still a fairly big draw in that league and I think this will only improve matters on that score. Some of the disrespectful comments towards him on here make me cringe. It's one of them things that makes you realise that this forum is far from representative of our fanbase, i.e. there's a far bigger proportion of bi-polar, attention-seeking knobheads on this forum than among our support. I'll be fucked if I judge him after 8 games. But even if you do. Say he's a shite manager. Doesn't justify some of the spite towards him on here. Get a grip.

Assuming Enrique wants to see that the club is going forwards, is it not fair enough for him to hang on for a month or 2 to see who we get in?

Just got back in so I didn't see the match but I saw Pearce's interview and he said "if we had as much possession as they did tonight then we'd have won about 4 or 5 nil. So fair play to us for staying in the game". I know what he's saying but they were never going to dominate possession tonight, were they?

Have Villa targeted Hughes then? If not, why not?

http://www.skybet.com/betting/football/transfer-specials/t10003041.html A few interesting ones there, for example we're 6/4 favourites to sign Berbatov and Liverpool are favourites (evens) to sign N'Zogbia while we're 2/1. We're also favourites to sign Ba and that man Carlton Cole. If you have a read through then much of it seems to be based on the well-known transfer tittle tattle though tbh, plus a leaning towards teams that are known to have a few quid in their pocket and / or have gaping holes in certain positions. Bit like the tabloid press really.

Insightful stuff.

No, I meant are you really making that joke actually.

Really, mate?

"Labelled" ffs, like he did it with a post-it note or something. Tabloid-speak is great (shite). http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/9320/insomnia.png Uploaded with ImageShack.us
