I hope Cheryl rips him a new arsehole... I'm sure Jenas wouldn't mind that!

Just been taken off at half time against Mali. No sign of any injury.

She's fuckin' rank tbh.

Just below his knee if you watch the replay again.

No elbow involved. It was the studs just below the lads knee that got him sent off, and rightly so.

Is the commentator a mackem? Or just another sad London bastard? If we had appointed someone who everyone wasn't as happy with and some people were complaining then the press would be coming out with the usual fickle Geordie shite again.... Tosser.

Everyone just get behind the club and not expect instant glory, it's gonna take time and of course money but Ashley has made his choice now and we just gotta stick with it!

SSN breaking news.

mackems 2-0 pompey at half time! Well avoided!

Was thinking yesterday that he hasn't been mentioned a lot but he still lingers near the top in the bookies favourites... Wouldn't be a bad choice imo. His Spurs team always played decent football and he surely would be interested in the job.

NUFC Official Statement Official Newcastle United statement from Chairman Chris Mort: "In the process of appointing a new manager at Newcastle United, we have identified and spoken to a number of potential candidates. "This is a very important appointment - our first since taking control of the Club - and we will take as long as required to make sure we bring the right person. "That person will be someone we believe will be able to deliver successful results and performances to accompany that. "We can confirm that Harry Redknapp is one of the people the Club has spoken to. However, Harry made it clear he is happy with life on the South Coast and we wish him well for the future. "We will continue to devote our time to the very important task of selecting the right person to manage Newcastle United and we will make a further announcement when appropriate."

He also said he never spoke to the owner. He obviously got the jist of what Ashley was offering though.

Redknapp just quoted on SSN... "the Newcastle owner is the most ambitious man you'll ever meet in football."

Relief in a way tbh.

FYP.

Breaking news

thread was locked, then unlocked.... ooooh politics!

Exactly the same here. You get the impression that if Redknapp starts off badly, you'd get people chanting for Shearer straight away... No one will get a fair crack at it until Shearer has his go.

Shearer over Redknapp any day tbh.

Can he brink Utaka and Muntari with him?

The 4-1 spanking at home has obviously convinced Ashley...

Odds shortening for Keegan now... 8/1 at places.

So because of this you think he should take the job even if he really doesn't want it?

Shearer rules out Newcastle job Sources close to Alan Shearer have confirmed to the BBC this evening that he is extremely unlikely to be the next manager of Newcastle. Shearer says he is currently very happy with his job on Match of the Day. The former England captain, who played for the Magpies for nearly 10 years and ended his career at St James' Park, had been strongly linked with the post. Newcastle are beginning the hunt for their seventh manager in 11 years after the departure of Sam Allardyce. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ted/7180147.stm
