Mole_Toonfan Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 They have been running on Irish leprechaun luck ever since MONg arrived hopefully its finally running out and its not like his expertise's in the transfer market will save them 18.5m for Reo Coker and Curtis Davies ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 They have been running on Irish leprechaun luck ever since MONg arrived hopefully its finally running out and its not like his expertise's in the transfer market will save them 18.5m for Reo Coker and Curtis Davies ffs I for one will be green with envy should they spend that sort of money on those two players this summer. I would be even greener with envy should they replace Sessegnon with Heskey. Please do not do this, MON. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 MoN is an above average manager ? That remains to be seen. Nothing I've seen so far in his career would suggest that. what? what do you class as an average manager then? MON is just an Irish KK. Above average motivator, lacking in the other skills needed to be a decent manager. This is wrong. Fixed for you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Newcastle have been fined £40,000 and Sunderland £20,000 after both clubs accepted misconduct charges following their bad-tempered derby on 4 March. *mackems celebrating picture* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think playing some of the best and most exciting football the PL has seen makes him just decent then you're wrong. He created fluid football, gave players confidence to do what they wanted to do and played people in their best roles. I don't wish to bring up another KK debate but I'm not going to stand for anyone calling him just a decent manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Could someone please tell me what O'Neill has done for him to have the status many give him ? It's not even as if his teams play stuff that's good to watch. good talker in interviews- gets lapped up- lifts his profile- end of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Are the rumours true that Pennywell is hosting Classtonbury this year? Aye, the fears that there may be a lack of portaloos because of the Olympics are unfounded, as Pennywell is actually one big shithole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Being a sunderland fan from when he was young usually gets you a MBE in Sunderland. It's also the easiest of football clubs to be a "legend" at. You can be the most average of players but simply write FTM somewhere or kiss the badge and it's lifetime legendary status guaranteed.

Eesh, it was said firmly tongue in cheek but Keegan was never pulling up trees tactically, he brought in flair players and gave them the confidence to perform at their maximum. Arguably, Pards has more tactical nous. [/controversial] O'Neill is similar to Keegan in that way, the vast majority of his results are due to the confidence and belief he instills in the players.

Yeah, but this intial phase of success of sunderland is because they where so low, mentally. HE came in they all got excited, he raised to morale of the players, itll all trail off again and for sunderland to be succesful with him next season, he'll need and also demand a shit load of money.

You could argue that Pardew has more tactical nous than Keegan but you could make the same argument for Sam Allardyce. Whether it's tactical nous or just impressive sounding sales patter we'll know as things pan out. Keegan's biggest drawback for me was his lack of appetite for working within a budget which pretty much meant he was doomed here once the big spending days were over. But tactics or no tactics he got his team to practise what he preached and it was great to watch. Let's see how we finish this season before we start handing out plaudits for Pardew's football knowledge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp40 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Its fucking great watching the mackems get ahead of themselves, and announce they've arrived on the world stage, so often. and see it all crumble before thier eyes. happens time and again, and yet they still go through the same process. Its like a fucking disease on Wearside . Watch next as they realise they havent won the cup even tho they are already planning the European trips.

Dr Venkman Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 It's where they go after O'Neill that I'm looking forward to, he has his strengths and weaknesses but one thing's for sure, they won't have a manager as good as him for a long, long time after he's gone.
