I want Lippi

I think it's more along the lines of that sam was never ashley's man but he couldn't sack him when he'd been boss for about a month or whatever it was, needed some shit results etc before he could

+1, it'll either work great or get the "everything will be ok once shearer is manager" stupidity out of everyone's system and let us get on with sorting the club out

You can't get good ones over here

With the chips?

I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask for a source

depends entirely on your position, up front and out wide pace is much more important than in the middle

Don't even remember it, I ask my mum why/when I started supporting newcastle and she just shrugs and says "you just always have done"

They're not retiring AC milan I didn't say they were. I know it's just I don't think retiring a number implies a man is bigger than the team in any way

They're not retiring AC milan

I think capello's favoured style of football could work well for us, I'm all for it

the music on that one is just superb

that's got to be the nonest none-story I've ever seen

me too, I was expecting the joke to be something along the lines of "he's over there"*points and nobby in exec box*

remember when we made a bid for Rooney? Pretty different. We made a bid which Everton were ready to accept. He chose not to come here when Man Utd got involved. Still though, we had as much chance of actually signing Rooney as Boro do signing Ronaldinho. are you kidding or just being stupid?

heard about this yesterday but had no sources to post

I Concur. me too

Because? Cause above everything we need organising and a re-vamp of the set up. Something he knows a thing or two about from his time at Bolton. His attention to detail and empahsis on player development and motivation and his overall psychological approach (something that some of our player sorely need). IMO Sam will put this background structure in place (and it wil take 2 seasons at least to start showing) and this will be the platform to his legacy. It is exactly what we need. For now the system of play and purchases and other 'on field' stuff although important ( and will be communicated to the side) is not quite as critical as making the base right to take us forward. That is why I feel at this moment he is a godsend. Yeah, but it took him some time. As I say, he finished 16th and 17th in the league. The "Geordie faithful" won't stand for that. We'll have him booed out of the job by Christmas. Damn it hurts. It hurts to be THIS right! that was one hell of a bump

You'll forgive my ignorance, but is it just me or are those tickets extraordinarily cheap? thats blackburn for you

shearer=owen

please let it be

good old fifa, always on the important issues forget the lack of stadia in south africa just get annoyed that there's a brazilian in the croatia team just how many brazilians play for national sides that aren't brazil? i can actually only think of 2, deco and eduardo

lippi, it'll never happen but... mourinho won't take it he's said before he only wants to manage portugal at international level

as much as people say owen is englands man, there is no one alive who can't love the sound of 500000 people cheering when you score that said im pretty drunk so perhaps im talking shit

villa to tottenham yeh ok
