I think if we go down, as is likely, Shearer will be back on MOTD and Kinnear will return. I don't think we'd go straight back up with our shower of shite so it'd take years to recover from. I also don't think Ashley will sell up, whatever happens. We can't afford to go down.

His principle of walking away from any job when the going gets tough. How many jobs have Keegan walked out on? Considerably less than Hoddle's been sacked from

Well said. Throughout this season there's only been one person with the power to change the fundamentals of the club and that's the owner. That'd be the grinning fat guy at the back, doing nowt and letting other people take the heat.

Parky loves a bit of drama

Did she come back? Deary me. You'd better off sticking to cheap shots and wummery, humour isn't your strong point.

I dislike Brand intensely for all sorts of reasons. This article isn't one of them.

It wouldn't be his fault though. Nothing ever is.

Despite the wind and piss about 5 year plans I think they make it up as they go along. As much as it pains me, I honestly believe they think Kinnear is good enough despite all evidence to the contrary. And to the extent Shearer leaves and Kinnear is unable to continue, I expect there'll be no back up plan whatsoever and we'll start from scratch, probably wasting the entire pre-season in the process.

A million miles better than Kinnear. But I expect he'd would want adequate transfer funds (assuming we survive), so probably no point in talking to Butthole Still.

Maybe it's a case of if we stay up shearer stays, if we go down kinnear returns

Only if he doesnt get the move he wants

Good morning sir, have you arrived here from Victorian times?

Shearer = sheet metal worker's son Kinnear = shite mental wanker No? I'll get me coat....

Be interesting to see if he puts Owen on the bench for Chelsea

You are demoted and forced to accept a pay cut because you have no employment alternatives, your wife/gf/partner that you really love leaves you and your great neighbours move only to be replaced by the most annoying, tight arse cunts the world has seen. Or you just become danny b.

*Shudder*

It'd be worth it just to see Shearer's reaction. I picture him picking up Wise and throwing him against the wall, with Wise sticking there upside down, in the manner of a pub dwarf throwing competition

Terry Mac. Put the cones out , Terry

I can deal with despair, it's the hope I can't stand

You may not have heard that the club has appointed A Toon Insider as our official spokesman.

Surely not even he's that stupid enough to play that card twice? You couldn't rule it out on past evidence

Destiny calls. We cannot fail now

The Beeb is reporting it as breaking news, 'understands' appointment till the end of the season. I think this is fantastic (if *ahem* selected), it gives us a chance. I hope they make it a permanent appointment too, God knows who they'd get otherwise and would also mean little Dennis is on his way.

So basically none of what's happened to Tandy is his fault. Bollocks to that, I can't stand that bloody attitude. No doubt represented by an ambulance chasing lawyer too.

I couldn't see us spending 4m on another keeper. Hell, I can't see us spending 4m on another player. My guess would be his agent is trying to drum up a move to the prem, and has planted this story as a 'come and get me' ploy. He's probably feeling the sectarian heat, wants to get the hell out and fancies clamping his greedy snout on the EPL cash tit in the process.
