Dr. TC Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I know we already have a 10th rate journalism thread, but I thought this needed to be pointed out: http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2008/01/11/harry-s-game-72703-20339253/ "Many Pompey fans are distraught at the prospect of losing Redknapp, but on the other hand he is experienced enough to know that he will have to win over a considerable number of Newcastle supporters. And sources close to him told me today that he will do that by winning football matches." I can't believe even he wrote that to be honest. His sources must really know their stuff.

Guest nufcfan76 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 And how does he plan to do that? By playing the wonderfully attacking style of football at SJP which hasn't seen his side score at home since September? Get ready, we'll be the laughing stock of the universe 6 months from now.

Dr. TC Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 er... the point was more that he required a 'source close to him' to make this statement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Saggy twitchface can't win matches though, not at home at least, not recently. Did they have the third or fourth best home record last season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 To be fair to Anal I assume that's meant to mean that Redknapp will be positive in going for wins rather then trying for draws and hoping we might just nick a goal to win a game. That's how I read it at the time anyway, maybe I'm giving him too much credit.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilligaf Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 'The Fratton Park club confirmed that United had made an approach for their 60-year-old manager as a replacement for Sam Allardyce' have they? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooneyToonArmy Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 from the chron ============================ WHEN Graeme Souness was put out of his misery exactly two years ago I was convinced Sam Allardyce wasn’t the man for the Newcastle United job. I was right. However, when Glenn Roeder departed in May I felt Big Sam was just the man to sort United out. I was wrong. For I believe Newcastle United was too big for the man who came within a whisker of managing England. I lost count of the number times the words “this ain’t Bolton Wanderers” came up in conversations about Allardyce’s situation at St James’s Park. He knew the whole world was watching whether United would play the “ugly football” BBC’s Alan Green accused Bolton of doing. And what did we get? Dull, boring, football. But most of all I found Allardyce’s negativity hard to stomach. Right to the end. When I interviewed him at the Britannia Stadium after Sunday’s lucky draw with Stoke City in the FA Cup and brought up the subject of today’s match at Manchester United his response left me wondering whether to bother making the journey to Old Trafford. Allardyce inherited some good players at United. He made some bad signings. He managed to upset some of those good players. And was badly let down by one who has hardly had a good game in a black-and-white shirt. Joey Barton. Allardyce only had eight months in one of the hottest seats in football. Looking back on his time at St James’s Park his aim always seemed to be to win ugly. Yet all he succeeded in doing was to lose ugly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
