God I'm bored with the close season... it's not bad enough that England haven't been in the Euros, we have to wait for the poxy tournament to finish before players start getting signed (at least I'm hoping that's what the hold up is).

The Pablo Aimar rumour's suffacing on SSN again today, that'd be nice.

From SSN: If only it was us he was talking about

I love everyone... except Torres, but he doesn't count.

Sad but true, it almost makes me wonder if it would be within the bounds of imagination that a chairman/owner could grease the palm of an apropriate person to be given the opportunity to remove a manager that he doesn't want by making sure said manager had a crap start to the season... consipracy-theory-tastic!

I guess it should be a good gauge on whether the club progresses at all this summer. I'm not a defeatist but as things currently stand I'm not looking forward to it.

Great start for us then... http://www.nufc.com/

I'd sell him if he wants to go, give Harps the number one shirt and make Krul second choice keeper.

No it's not...

Spot on, there's only one place I ever want to see him go and that's to us in many years time when Keegan moves upstairs after a long and successful second spell as manager

Now this is the sort of report I wanted to read (apart from the Smith bit), if only it could be made bigger news by the national press - of course they'd only report our stuff if it was negative though.

The saddest thing is we'll lose out on the money we paid for him just for some other club to snatch him up on a free as soon as he's out of our door.

I'm a little concerned that people think that EVERY player that joins us should be instantly a first team regular of very high quality. Larsson might not fit in to everyone's idea of what we need but I think people are forgetting how small and frail our squad is, we NEED decent squad players and Larsson would certainly fit in to that category. We need padding out with some serious depth, we've had a thin squad for so long now it just seems to get smaller by the year or just about break even with a few years back when we ditched a fair number of our players and didn't replace them. I'd be happy with signing Larsson, I don't see why so many players transfers to us are written off so quickly because a good few of them could probably do a job for us.

To be honest we need some squad players, Seb Larsson would fit in to that while pushing for a first team spot. He might not be a top end player but every team needs some half decent squad players and he's really not 'that' bad.

Aye from Newcastle's point of view it is ideal. He either does well or ok and then maybe can take the Newcastle job, or he does terribly and finally it can be laid to rest. I don't think it would be laid to rest though, if he did badly at Blackburn it could be down to him not being as enthusiastic about the job as he would for us. It might not be professional to do so but if you were in his shoes would you perform as well as you would for the club you love? I just don't see it being a good move for him or us.

I don't, I think it was the influence of Tommy Craig. No, I agree with T-Keith on this, Shearer certainly seemed to have more of an influencial presence over the results we got. I'd be gutted if he went elsewhere and was a success, the other thing is if he did go somewhere else and didn't put his all in to it like he would here then it could damage any future possibility of him being our manager. It's a no win situation for him imo.

The flip side to that is he makes his beginners errors elsewhere. It does seem to me though that the majority of people think he'll fail, maybe even want him to fail, I don't know.

Aye, wouldn't suprise me, shit-stirring tossers

Fucking media piss me off with there constant 'Ashley needs to get rid of Keegan' and 'Keegan to walk', wankers.

Think I must be a rarity in that I only want to see Shearer here as manager. It worries me that if he goes somewhere else he might use up his enthusiasm and any contacts he's made prior to any future appointment with us.

Annoyingly shite ginger twat

I got Czech Republic... not sure whether to be happy or not tbh.

Claims being made that Eidur would only consider Wist Am if it was a choice between them or us due to him having friends and family in London... shocker "yawn".

So you wipe one way and are left holding a ball of loo roll with a warm, moist turd island at worst, a stinky skidmark at best. And rather than fold it over or discard it, you wipe that shitty rag back over your ring? The sitters go from bad to worse. No, no, no - "Front to back cleans the crack", never wipe backwards and forwards using the same stroke.
