@ Gol's "any update?"s.

Are you not pleased we kept him? I know he's injured constantly, but I think if (huge if) we can get him playing regularly he's a big player for us. We look a totally different team when he's on song.

Doesn't the manager tell or recommend to his chairman who he wants to keep, sell, or buy ? 99879[/snapback] Aye then the chairman negotiates the contract. Incidentally, do you think Dyer wouldn't have got a new contract under Robson? 99882[/snapback] He wouldn't have got it under me 99896[/snapback] No room - Bellamy/Shepherd manwich tbh.

HTTO.

and Scottish, and Irish 99857[/snapback] On a (slightly) more serious note didn't MON win the Chronicle readers poll for who they wanted to be the next manager? Yet the N-O campaign speaks for the majority of Toon fans 99859[/snapback] LOOK AT HIS CV!!!

Where's the "Marty, not Otto" option??

The banner at the top needs changing. I don't think "The forum that brought you Martin O'Neill" would be overstating things.

Whole separate World Wide Web required in all honesty.

If it turns out to be a shit appointment, I might say it's "another shit appointment" like. Hindsight, baby.

Marty's reaction on hearing of our campaign.

By the way, don't get drawn into debates about Martin O'Neill or whether he is the right man to manage Newcastle United. We in the "O'N I'n" campaign KNOW about the man and don't need to even involve ourselves with those who aren't educated in the ways of Marty. By the way, Marty is how I expect you all to refer to him from now on. O'Neill is too formal, and having read Alex's dossier I feel like I know the man personally. Here's a tip as well: if anyone questions the campaign, type "Look at his CV!". Only do it with CAPS LOCK on, and use as many exclamation marks as you feel are necessary to ward off the moron that is questioning you.

I put £20 on O'Neill last week like, and I might up my bid. I'm crazy like that.

Give him a curly perm wig and a shellsuit and you'd be leading the chants tbh.

First one to get Mick Lowes to say "lunatic minge" gets a Soopafan cheque book and pen.

We need a Martin O'Neill Campaign Forum to celebrate in when he's appointed, and I think you'll agree that it would look better on all of us if this forum was set up BEFORE the club actually announce it.

If Luque was a Scouser, Renton would be loving him. FACT.

Sorry Alex, that's bitter manc bollocks actually. Obviously a lot of scousers have had to move from Liverpool, the same as have had to move from all northern cities including Newcastle and Manchester. 99699[/snapback] I believe of all English cities Liverpool has had the highest rates of people moving away from it since the 1960's. 99704[/snapback] Might be true although I doubt it is much worse than here. If so the reasons would be the same - unemployment and industrial decline forcing people out. Also iirc Liverpool was the only northern city with a growing population at the last census. Actually, while were on the subject of distasteful football chants, can I just say it pisses me off when we sing "you'll never get a job" etc. I wouldn't mind it once but it gets ridiculous when it's repeated 30 times at away matches. Newcastle has historically had near identical problems. Freedom of speech, banter, and all that but sometimes people should think more about what they are singing. More offensive than the alleged Alan Smith chant to me tbh. 99707[/snapback] Does the Mayor of Liverpool have pictures of you with a goat or something?

Renton's looking for a long-haired lover from Liverpool tbh.

Brazil was out of order this morning by the way, saying of Dyer that "sometimes when you're not the model pro, you deserve injuries" Didn't heavy drinker Brazil retire in his late 20s himself (I'm pretty sure he did, but not certain)? I wonder if he thought he deserved that.

Aye, fingers crossed. I just want to know who the next manager is and to be able to breathe a sigh of relief that it's not someone crap.

Ed Zachary! What goes around comes around.

Aye, apparently the paramedics have confirmed it as well. Nice.

Great listening to Mourinho complain about play acting on the radio: "...and he jump...and roll and roll and roll and roll." Aye Jose, I'm sure there's a few Celtic fans could tell you about "roll and roll and roll". Deco anyone? Tosser.

Just wondering....am I allowed to mention today's reports that a gang of scouse idiots attacked with bottles and stones the ambulance carrying Alan Smith to hospital? Or will that offend certain people's sensibilities? Just to make it perfectly clear in advance, yes I DO know that they applauded him off the pitch, and I WOULD post this story if it had happened in Newcastle.

Be fair. He did take a nasty bang on the head.
