It's pathetic that in all this turmoil the managing director has yet to say a word about it publicly, or speak on anything at all for that matter.

Really? Apart from Guthrie I wouldn't have thought any of the others were Keegan signings, he perhaps agreed to them but that if he hadn't then who knows whether the board would have listened to him.

Who really knows? It's all conjecture at this point. Though from what we do know it is more likely that Keegan was being undermined all summer rather than just the last couple of days of the transfer window.

Keegan turned him down, he must of thought Edgar was good enough or he was already planning to walk by then. Zayatte looked solid against Arsenal on Saturday too. Did he? You know this for a fact? Stop pretending like you know. Of course he turned him down, why do you think he ended up at Hull on loan of all places? Similar to Bassong, he came in and trained with the club before Keegan saying he'd make a decision on his future, he said he wanted to tell Wise and Jimenez first before saying anymore in the press conference. Bullshit. If anything all of this has proven that Keegan had no say in who the club signed, anything else you tried to sell as fact is laughable and it's bad enough reading the spuds clowns posts without you trying to out do him. edit: Wolfie will you stop posting me replies before me! (Congrats by the way.) So players were brought into the club on trial for Keegan to have a look at but he had no say on if he wanted them at the club or not? What would be the point in them having a trial then? Unfortunately I don't think that the club hierarchy were thinking quite as logically as that.

The bit in bold worries me. Well it's better than 'Newcastle star Stephen Carr'.

are you the loser off N-O that doesn't seem to like keegan for some strange reason? triggy shoots, he scores! By the way Baggio, if Keegan can take 8m out of the pocket of that cunt Ashley along the way, then more power to the messiah I say. Except the civil action would be against against NUFC and not Ashley, so any money he gets will come out of the club accounts. Which would then be taken off the price that any buyer will pay I would've thought, provided that it is settled in time, if not then there is an accounting system of dealing with pending civil actions (iirc).

Which I wasn't either, thank you. Do you ever have anything positive to say or are you just a contrary whining sack of shit? I'm being contrary for pointing out the hypocrisy of football fans? Campbell loves cock - Sickening Mido's got a bomb - Banter I wasn't one of them.

There's booing, there's banter and then there are pathetic sick jibes like the song your fans sing.

Apart from the moving to local rivals bit isn't that pretty much what Owen did at Liverpool? Yet you don't hear them harping on about it, then again the fact that they're not so insecure about their place in English and European football as Spurs may have something to do with it. Yeah that small detail. At least they got some wedge for him. One of the best CBs in the country at the time, walked out on a free. If that hadn't happened I am pretty sure Defoe would still be a spur too. The point I'm making is that you haven't gotten over it because you haven't moved on as a club. Spurs were a mid-table club when he left, Spurs are a mid-table club now - if you had any significant success in the period in between I don't think your fans would be half as bothered about Sol Campbell. It proved that Arsenal were, are and will remain for the foreseeable future the bigger club. They Spurs fans continue to prove it with their behaviour That's pretty much what it is, he went to Arsenal where he won league titles and FA Cups, as you say, Spurs fans are just bitter that they're local rivals have been so much more successful and that Campbell played an integral part in that success.

Two masters of subtleness.

Tbh there's no way that Mike Ashley is one of the most hated men in football, at Newcastle perhaps but the rest of the country sees him as a source of amusement.

No Lee Bowyer?

What a damning indictment of Wise & co.'s transfer policy that would be.

Now that wasn't so hard was it?

The question is then, why did Ramos, Commoli and Levy not see it? I am sure they did. Given the choice I am sure they would have kept the two players or got in decent replacements. Levy haggling over a couple of mil for Arshavin has shot us in the foot and the unfortunate timing of defoes departure. Defoe left in January, Keane left at the start of July and the Berbatov transfer was hardly a shock. Spurs had loads of time to find replacements yet didn't, if anyone is to blame for you having no strikers then it's the three men mentioned above. Defoe had to be sold because he refused to sign a new contract. At that time we had the most successful strike partnership in the country so he couldnt break inot the team. We had an adequate 3rd striker in Bent so there was no issue. Keane was completely out of the blue and I believe Pav was supposed to be Berbas replacement. There was no way we couyld hang onto these players as after they got tapped up they became disruptive and had to be sold. We should have bought Arshavin, Pav and Militio with the money to give us a good mix of forwards. Instead we are left with two big men in Pav and Bent and a young loanee. That's what ewerk just said. Pretty much aye. Danny, I'll put this very simply, who at your club do you blame for not replacing the strikers sold?

I'd be starting to get a little concerned with that consortium if I was a Sunderland fan, it's made up of pub owners and property developers - two groups who are bound to have seen their wealth decline in recent times.

Along with MvB he's one of the great heroes of our time.

I'm far from a film buff and maybe it was because I watched it with some decent headphones on but I did think that the use of sound was top class.

Pi - Not good, not bad, interesting.

I've only been in Birmingham a week and while the city centre isn't too bad, I have to say I have never been in a city with more scrounging pikey bastards. Every time I walk up the street there's some tramp looking money or a fag or giving me some sob story and looking to 'borrow' the taxi fare home, it's getting to the point where it's a hassle to actually walk the streets.
