Did they have the bottom tier, or did the club just not sell tickets there as Stoke fans are scum that would coin the good Geordie stock below. From my position high up in the gallowgate I couldn't see the upper upper tier where the away fans normally are, so couldn't tell if there were any stoke fans there or not, didn't look to be too many coaches. Of course you could'nt hear any chants from them either. There were one or two people dotted about the lower corner, which makes me think it was given to stoke. Someone near me also mentioned an FA Cup rule about giving a certain percentage to away fans too. You have to offer them a 1/4 of the capacity as an allocation for FA Cup games iirc. Been that way as long as I can remember. Don't know what the situation is if they don't take that allocation though as there isn't much time to re-sell returned tickets when it's a replay. 15% isn't it?

Is he going to convert him to Islam like?

I'd certainly have him here, though I reckon it'd be difficult to tempt him away from City when they're starting to look like they're going places.

I notice he said he was told last week that he wouldn't be getting the job, obviously couldn't get his 'friends' to leak that news to the press and appeared to prefer having his name continue to be linked with the job for another few days.

Not sure how much better Keegan is than Redknapp, tbh. At other clubs perhaps but Keegan has a special effect at Newcastle and vice-versa, getting a buzz among the fans, the players and the media counts for an awful lot, something Redknapp would've had a hard time doing. He's a much better choice for us than 'Arry, that's for sure.

Well done Emre you fucking prick, just when we're down to the bare bones in midfield you go and get yourself sent off, cheers you ill-tempered little wanker. By the sounds of things Owen is doing more in this game than he has all season, says a lot about how well Allardyce did at motivating the players.

Hopefully this means we can start using 4-4-2 and wingers!

Keegan is probably the only person big enough at NUFC to be able to have Shearer as his No.2 without the constant threat of the fans turning on him and Shearer taking his job. First time I've been really excited about the club for a long time.

Pleasantly surprised due to the thought of how close we got to Redknapp. Now for Ashley to back him to the hilt with cash.

Fucking get some revision done Where is Akabusi when you need him It's a her isn't it?

god, i don't. Not to worry. .Com says "Nicky Butt and Alan Smith are suspended, Barton remains unavailable and Beye, Faye, Martins and Geremi are on African Nations Cup duty." By my reckoning that means our available midfielders are... Emre Duff Zoggy Milner If this goes to extra time we're going to get raped. Will be a joy to watch some attacking mids this season after watching the defensive approach. Its a good midfield IMo? Well with Emre and Duff having not played a lot lately I'd be wary about their fitness given that we've another game three days later.

Oh it was you.

Which poster the other day called Shearer 'self-serving'? They weren't far wrong and neither is this guy, even if he is a bit over the top with it.

Aye, and I see the deal for that young Hungarian also appears to have fallen through since the Sam's dismissal, makes the timing of this all appear even more foolish.

yes Is it their proven track record of managing big clubs and winning things that puts you off?

So he did want to sign for us? A managerless, bottom half of the table club? Quelle surprise.

You'd be happy with Hughes yet not with Van Gaal or Hitzfeld?

That is why I'm still surprised he hasn't bought in one or two senior football figures as advisors or non-executive board members. Ashley has Kelmsley. Harry Redknapp indeed.

Fuck off. Please. If you're blinkered enough to think that managerial experience isn't a factor then allow me to do you a favour and knock some sense into your skull. Experience guarantees fuck all. I think thats the point he was making. Yup but it gives a much clearer indication of how things could go than no experience.

May I remind everyone that this is only the internet FFS.

A sensible approach from the club and good to hear that Shearer hasn't ruled himself out of a role within the new coaching set up should he be asked.

Can we expect any of what he says to be the truth?

Read this. http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?...amp;hl=Hitzfeld You will get the picture. Got as far as TaylorIQ27's opening gambit and collapsed in a fit of laughter But PP pissed on their hopes and dreams man!

Not a single comment from him of course.

Reason for your banning is apparently: More than a bit harsh imo.
