got to add paste this comment from under Louise Taylor article:

Another day, another "trouble at Newcastle" story by Louise Taylor.

 

For a while back there those of us who can't stand LT thought she had finally been stopped from pursuing her Toon vendetta.

 

Turns out, because we were having quite a succesful run at the time, there were no scabs for Ms Taylor to pick at.

 

Now, with the slighest suggestion of a little bit of friction and here she is again.

 

In the meantime, her idol, Roy Keane has also had a go at his chairman, also asked for more money (a whopping £200m).

 

This year Keane has wasted £50m (Louise plays this down as refers to this as "around £40m" - surprisingly sub editors let her get away with it) and he has finished below Newcastle who spent considerably less.

 

So where are the negative Sunderland stories? Where are the stories questioning Keane's ability? They aren't there. Go on - try to find them.

 

Ms Taylor, who has admitted to being a Sunderland follower in print, appears to have a real crush on Keane. If you don't believe me then check out the quotes below. Are these really the view points of a non-biased (non smitten?) journalist?

 

Louise loves Roy Quotes?

 

"..(Roy is) immaculately turned out but never flashy."

 

***

 

"(Roy is) generous to a fault towards those within his inner circle."

 

***

 

"Keane is simply refreshingly honest."

 

***

 

"(Roy's) Touchline style (is) glowering, prowling, brooding, jaw-clenching - but always immaculately turned out."

 

***

 

"Sunderland's manager (Roy Keane) - fast proving almost as snappy a dresser as the Portuguese (refers to Jose Mourinho)"

 

***

 

"One of Roy Keane's most attractive qualities is his honesty"

 

***

 

"Sunderland's eloquent manager (Roy Keane)"

 

***

 

"..his (Roy Keane's) invariably cliche- and platitude-free musings are always worth hearing and delivered in flowing, eloquent sentences that never seem to descend into grammatical black holes."

 

***

 

"Not the type to rely on notes or props, Sunderland's manager (Roy Keane)invariably ad libs his team talks. By all accounts they are frequently transfixing and sometimes quirky but the Irishman's speech during Saturday's interval was his most powerful yet. "The gaffer was as passionate as I've ever seen him," said Kieran Richardson, a one-time Manchester United team-mate of Keane's. "He gave us a history lesson at half-time. He's a great manager." "

 

***

 

"Roy Keane remains full of surprises but it is hardly startling to learn that Sunderland's manager regards himself as "a dylanologist". A bit like Bob Dylan himself, Keane can be seen as enigmatic and self-mythologising but one thing the former Manchester United captain most certainly is not is conceited."

Oh and this is very funny - I wish I had been responsible:

Please - no more Newcastle United coverage from Louise Taylor.

 

Maybe it's just me but I imagine that the biggest readers of Newcastle stories are Newcastle fans. So why provide them by a journalist who is universally loathed by them?

who the f*** is SHAUN CUSTIS?  time to grovel!?  unkindly f*** off, butt-munch!  :angry:

someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he from somewhere in the north-east?

 

For public consumption he claims to be a Newcastle fan, in reality is probably a devious mackem cunt trying to undermine the toon from the inside.

Get the feeling they have toned down the crisis talks. They are now putting the "arse kicking" slant on the whole thing.

 

Makes me sick but exactly what you would expect.

[someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he from somewhere in the north-east?

He is, but nothing more than a Mirror Glove Puppet.

An ars*hole nothing more.

Put the turd in the same bag as other plastic geordies that dance to other tunes like Stevie Bruce and Bryan Robson (Man U fifth columnists both - just wait and see if Bruce changes his team for the worse to assist Man U like Robson did with Middlesbro' on THAT day)
