Rocker Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 For those who don't have World, there are two interviews (one with Tayls and one with Owen), and they are very open about the negative football we played under Allardyce. Owen saying, 'at five foot nothing, I shouldn't have to be flicking the ball onto anyone. Players like Viduka, myself and Shola , need the ball along the ground' Owen also said that the players had actually lost confidence in their footballing ability, and says Kevin is bringing that back to them. Both Taylor and Owen said they have been doing some 'high intensity' training too. Regarding the Arsenal match, they both said they need to go there and go forward, and said under the previous regime it may have been the case of shutting up shop. Nothing suprising here, just enjoyed the digs tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I like KK when he get the question about the transferwindow=) "Close to bring in new player" Keegan: "NO" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I read Sam Allardyce's football page in 'Zoo' or 'Nuts' (whichever he writes for) and he said "Unfortunately I can't talk about Newcastle but I know I am a good manager". You may think that Sam but the Newcastle players, fans, owner and chairman don't agree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrette Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 "At five foot nothing" I've not watched his interview yet but did he really say that? Sounds like he's developed a sense of humour since Kevin came back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 It is interesting how both Owen and Taylor do mention the Big Sam style of play ad not in a good way positive way, getting the feeling that the squad were not to happy with Big Sam, Keegan but be like a breath of fresh air.

Dave Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Problem is most clubs have their own website now, and may announce it before we do anyway. Like Enrique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Owen also said that the players had actually lost confidence in their footballing ability You could see that increasingly in every performance they had under BSA. I've never been a fan of sacking managers mid-season but in this case everything points to the right decision. Not least that it gives Keegan so much time to plan for next year rather than just a summer close season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 World interviews make me cringe. Craig Hope's like that tit on Big Brother, trying to make his "Geordie" accent as pronounced as possible and just ends up sounding like a right plank. They're all as bad like, my mate's got Boro World, it's like journalism done by a nursery school. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ridzuan Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Glad to see Owen being honest and open about his views.If Big Sam was still here,I think Owen would have gone by now at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always the same questions being asked ("How have you settled on Tyneside, Mark?" "Was the fans a big motivator for you tonight, Oba?") and never allowing the players to actually say anything interesting. Edit: I haven't watched these two yet though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
