I mean, could he? Not deciding the players, just negotiating for them?

Dont want Keegan anywhere near footballing decisions when Rafa Benitez is here thank you very much.

I think a lot of people who write about football forget that doesnt make their opinion on footballing matters more Valid.

Waddle's a mackem, course he loves Ashley.

People thinking that's Tino and not Wraith.

Apperantly investors are aware we're a yoyo club. We are now seen as a fucking Yo-yo club ffs that man should just keel over and die.

The statement is for the supporters. Those that signed NDA's will have known full well the Club is up for sale for a while tbh.

Installments. Like Sissoko's deal to Spurs.

Just don't overcharge for it. Don't f*** up the interest from those already having NDA's signed. I don't even care if we have to have an SD sponsorship deal for a while out of it, just as long as he's not controlling our football.

Ah, I see the "we're not spending in january" message is out early.

I'll take a midfielder trying to create things anyday. I've had more than enough of the Colbacks and Anita's to last me a lifetime.

Was just thinking the other day, this season under Rafa is how I reckon the 08/09 season under Keegan would have panned out had he stayed. Obviously we'd have got the results in a different way, but I think he'd have got that group performing like he showed end of the previous season and first two games of the relegation season. That team shouldn't have gone down. The league was weak back then, our players just couldn't be bothered.

He won't be ahead of Mitrovic now. He'll be out for a while, most likely. If Mitrovic doesn't get suspended he'll stay in the 18.

Is it just me or was he playing the furthest forward of the 3 central midfielders for a while?

Lovenkrands was never this ineffective for long periods.

I don't mind him - I would have rather Persisted with Darlow as I thought he wasn't as bad as made out either. I'd also like to see Woodman in goal. The mackem down the road didn't have his career ruined by being thrown in - There's never going to be a better Newcastle back 4 to make your debut behind than the one we have now.

He got bailed out of a howler by Clark against West Ham mind which would have made it 1-1 Then he returned the favour to Clark vs Liverpool which would have lost us the game.

He's a bit like Merino. Except obviously Merino plays for us so he's much more lovable.

oui oui

Or maybe he's only come on for a few minutes most of the time when we aren't in the ascendancy. He's had nowhere near enough time to make a judgement on. Has he even had a minute of PL football at St James' yet?

good of him to at least stay out and try I suppose.

I swear Perez has scored that first shot stopped- straight back to him tap early on in each of the last 3 seasons now.

He played well today

Yeah, he seemed to favour us a bit, which was a nice change, Yedlin really should have gone. He was lenient with cards but not with giving free kicks.

I think I likened him to a poor man's Jerome Boateng in pre season. I like this one too.
