LionOfGosforth Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 On 08/07/2023 at 16:57, Jonas said: There's a bit in Beresford's interview where he says Dalglish bollocked him and threatened to take him off if he went over the halfway line again against PSV. Shocking in a "I knew it" kind of way. Made worse by Beresford probably being our second top scorer at the time too. We lost 1-0, game was absolutely shit and I'll bet Dalglish was quite satisfied. Dalglish was a weird one. I never understood his philosophy at all when he came to Newcastle. His Liverpool teams in the second half of the 80s, especially the 87/88 team, were fantastic free-flowing teams that scored at will. When he came to Newcastle, I pictured us playing like those teams, even though with hindsight, his Blackburn team were pragmatic to say the least. Just a standard 4-4-2, with good wingers and a brilliant front two, but that would have been great as well. He comes to us (granted it was 10 years later), sold all our best flair players and turned us into an ageing, miserable to watch outfit that could barely score a goal. You'd think that managing us for the second half of 96/97 with brilliant players that he inherited from Keegan and getting to second place would have given him some insight into taking us forward. Maybe some time between managing Blackburn and us, the game moved in a direction he couldn't understand or adapt to. Still one of the biggest disappointments of my supporting life.

Especially given the last 4.5 months of 1996-97 with Keegan's team he on the face of it did quite well; we only lost 2 league matches under him and took us to the only other CL spot in the league at the time. He then proceeds to tear that side apart. I know Ginola asked to leave in March and the club floating as a PLC may have had a role but don't think I'll ever understand it.

I've watched about a minute of his vlog videos and was bored so turned off. Not my thing. But loads of younger people than me like this work of thing so fair play. The haters are way sadder in my eyes than what he is doing. Ever so often he does do a video that really makes me laugh. I cant tell if it's deliberate or not.

Scoot Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) Anyone seen his latest video of him arriving in America and apparently he says he got stopped and searched at one of the airports and "touched up the arse" I'm sure he said.

I get he’s a bit a marmite, but at the end of the day he’s young, he’s making some money by doing what he loves, he doesn’t take himself seriously, he isn’t a pick of bother and most importantly of all he seems happy. Good luck to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
