I judge him for all what he has done in nearly one year at Newcastle. That is excluding signing players. You don't need great manager skills to sign players, you need the skill to coach them and use them in the right way. Souness can't do it as he has proven game after game. 24365[/snapback] How can you exclude signing players?!! That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard today! See if you can find anything about Emre's opinion of Souness. Still, I'm sure a professional footballer from Inter Milan's knowledge of football pales into insignificance compared to the sporting sages on this forum.

I don't dispute that the fans and Shearer played a huge part, but the money they were able to play and the tactics of the deal came from the board. Yes some of it is the fans money, but there are lots of clubs with lots of fans and they can't do deals like we were able to yesterday.

I'm making a perfectly fair point, why have you got to spoil it? 24311[/snapback] Aah, the little boy who cried wolf. 24317[/snapback] You are just as bad. I'm taking crap off a lot of people here because I stood up for the board. Now everyone's happy because they bought Owen. What's even more sad is the deluded view that the "fans" made it happen. That's sadder than sad. That's gay. 24322[/snapback] Cunt off you cockring 24323[/snapback] You're really winning the argument with efforts like that Well done. 24333[/snapback] Should I have referred to your post as sad or gay instead? 24338[/snapback] I think you should just get back to work. If you don't think I'm right that's fine. I started a normal thread.

A homophobe to boot, shame. 24342[/snapback] No I'm not. But congrats on your lifestyle choices.

Bring out the whips, more self-flagellation is needed! 24331[/snapback] No, the fans who shout and cheer and get behind the team are part of the reason Owen came here. I never said anything bad about them. I am pissed off with the professional whingers who change their minds depending on a few results or a good signing. Give Souness a fair chance this season. You'd think Robert and Bellamy never got a slagging by the fans the way some people go on about them here. Souness stood up to the wankers at the club. Judge him at the end of the season.

That's class!

...and Jenas!

No, just trying to illustrate that I don't work for the club.

Neither do I, nor do I believe the fans were in any way to blame for the bad start to the season, which was my point really KM. 24168[/snapback] No, I'm with you...we have played poorly. The West Ham game being the most depressing. I have seen us get tonked off ManU before and for a while we gave them a decent game. Same with Arsenal, and sooner or later we're going to have to accept that Bolton are a difficult side to get points against especially there. The next few games will shape our season. I'm optimistic that in 2 months time, we'll be at the right end of the table.

Well that post just cost the club another hour's fee. What are you getting 100 quid per hour or are you charging by the word? 24155[/snapback] Why does someone positive necessarily have to work for the club? By that logic, you can only be a fan if you are negative towards the board. I'm not because they have managed to make Newcastle a top 5 club when others have fallen by the wayside. Yes the fans are a factor, but they were not as plentiful when we were being managed by Ossie Ardilles. I have supported Newcastle since I was a boy, when my Geordie father told me in no uncertain terms that I would be supporting them. This was the 70's and Liverpool were cleaning up. I did not grow up in Newcastle, I didn't even grow up in the north east, but I supported them all the same even when my mates thought I was mad. I remember Keegan signing as a player and the buzz he created. I remember that poor bloke Sky used to show on the terraces when we lost out to ManU. I remember Shearer coming home. I have learned that to support Newcastle is to be an eternal optimist. I have said all along that I think as unfashionable as he is, GS is the man to win us the Worthington Cup and break our duck. After that, we'll see. Winning the league though is unlikely to happen until Abramovich leaves Chelsea which I can't see happening soon.

I don't believe the board "magicked" £17m out of thin air due to some disgruntled fans at Bolton. I believe they've been watching several targets all summer but were patient enough NOT to capitulate and held their nerve to land Owen. We could have had Anelka if FS hadn't held his nerve. Not that he would have necessarily been a bad signing, but he's got more baggage than Louis Vuitton. Whatever anyway...I am happy as Larry!

I'm staggered that people think that the board only got Owen to appease the fans. I get wound up on here because of the pack mentality against someone who just thinks the board should be given a break. I'm saying it nicely because I'm in a good mood today. I understand people are frustrated with where we are in the league, believe me, I'm no different, I just think rattling on about how crap our board are is a joke. Apart from ManU, Arse, Chelsea and Liverpool, we are the biggest club in the country and we haven't even won anything for 36 years. Do you think the board had nothing to do with that fact? I don't work for the club, but I do stick up for what I think, even if it goes against popular opinion. BTW, I changed my avatar in case you all started having bad feelings for Brian Cant. I AM IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH BRIAN CANT.

100 nil to us.

Sir Les

I couldn't agree more!

Another exciting conclusion to your dreary 9-5 existence! Maybe you'll just check back here though before your nightly wank.... Thought so!

Do you know the answer or are you just being a smart arse still? 23623[/snapback] Still being a smart arse. None of us know, but the point is that he will be signing tomorrow so why does it really matter? 23628[/snapback] It matters because until he signs he isn't our player. I'm asking in case I missed something. 23675[/snapback] Only puberty. 23681[/snapback] You absolute knob. I bet you think Hawksbee and Jacobs are funny don't you. A nice bit o' banter with the lads. Magic. 23689[/snapback] And I quote: I'll put a wink next time to save you taking the huff. 23692[/snapback] And puberty gags make you superior how?! 23699[/snapback] It's not the puberty gags that do it. 23700[/snapback] What is it then.....the dull posts......the reluctance to do anything interesting......the time you're wasting trying to get the last word in with an unloved forum member? You are as much of a doughnut as me for wasting your time on this crap.

You're a prick. BTW what's with the "we"? Can't you speak for yourself?
