agreed. But it was opened by a Cockney geezer and makes us the butt of everyones jokes again 81045[/snapback] To be fair Souness and Fat Fred make us the butt of everyones jokes, this bloke (like other people) just take advantage of the opportunity provided!

How good was it when Rob Lee's (totally fair) tackle on Cantona sent him cartwheeling just afterwards? Better than drugs that match. 81225[/snapback] Great memories! Understandably its forgotten/not cared about because we won 5-0 but the ref in that game should have given Cantona a red and 2 yellows in that match but as usual its manu so did fuck all and other players on their team could have walked as their spoilt bastard antics at being caned turned to shockign tackles. As for Beardo, he is definitely my alltime favourite toon player, just edging Shearer out, he could do everything and provided more great moments than any other toon player has.

Certainly could be something in that and as Gemmil said some truth in Owen not being happy. And lets be honest unless you're clinically insane how could you possibly be happy at NUFC with what Souness is doing here. Whatever the truth of these matters. Erikson is a disgrace and the FA should have sacked him more than once by now both for footballing and non footballing matters. How any of the players can want to play for him after he shafted them like that i have no idea.

Very likely knowing Anelka...of course it could just be because he's suddenly seen some footage of Souness' team in action!

Its definitely time for an effigy! Get somebody to make up a Souness doll and we can burn or hang it at St. James on matchday! Mind you when people say there's been no protest or action at all there sort of was in a way. Think back to the Crystal Palace match and the whole ground basically saying to Fat Fred, we'd rather twat each other with paper aeroplanes than watch the abject shite Souness is churing out on the pitch. Whilst that day was funny, i thought it summed everything up perfectly about what Souness has done to the club, and Fat Fred should have taken the hint back then.

Since nobody has put themselves forward, i'll be manager: I can say now, I'll only allow "proper" players in my team, i'll fall out with both the left winger and one of the strikers, i'll be playing long balls up to the strikers (the ones i don't hate), i'll be expecting at least 3 to drop out with hamstring injuries and i'll sign Amady Faye!

I would always (and still do) back the signing of Owen, if you can get a player of that standard you do it. However, it should have been done by the new maanger who had taken over from the sacked Fuckwitt Souness at the start of this season as Fat Fred had finally woken up and kicked the bastard out on his arse. Imagine starting this season with a good manager, some signings, less players kicked out the squad needlessley and then adding Owen to a team already going well and building on it.

Its money combined with that arrogance of many managers that they are right and we are all idiots to dare question them. If he's seriously proud of ruinign a great club having spent more money than other managers dream of getting then he's an even bigger prick than i thought. And totally agree about this "nice bloke" thing. When he was at Blackburn everybody on here (and fans of most clubs) thought he was a prick, and couldn't stand him. One reason being his pathetic whingeing and excuses in interviews after every Blackburn defeat! His behaviour here has confirmed he's a prick, from Bellamy and Robert to his interviews, his bullshit and lies, he's not a nice bloke, he's a complete arsehole.

Excellent article from Cascarino and it mirrors completely that of Graham Taylor, who have both pointed out we are a joke. His mates and arse kissers in the media won't say it, but people who are neutral to him and the club will, and these people are pointing out that we have no structure, no coaching, no tactics, no clue, no creativity, no ideas, no hope and anythign else you care to name. Its embarassing, but hopefully more and more will come out and start saying it instead of the usual bullshit where the toon fans are blamed for being critical.

I've heard Brydon & Coogan interviewed twice about this film and they were canny funny. Seen as though they are basically playing themselves in it and a lot of it is unscripted banter it should be good. 79603[/snapback] It does sound good, using the "Extras" style of people playing slightly warped versions of themselves.

Don't worry by the end of the season my angry posts will have got him sacked! Theres not much you can do when others won't join in and think for soem reason that he's doing a good job. If you start a chant its ignored and gets nowhere. But i can say i was calling him every name under the sun at full volume on a regular basis (not that he'd hear sadly!) and tellign anyone who'd listen (and some who didn't want to!) all the things being ruined, mistakes, idiocy and the like to try and get people to wake up. Anyway my problem is even when i agree with their cause/argument, i have to be honest protestors generally get on my tits and its just not me, though if i'd ever by chance bumped into Fat fred i would have certainly passed on my opinion of what he should be doing. 79597[/snapback] I appreciate the honest response - which if you don't mind me paraphrasing, boils down to "not a lot really". Basically! As one person there is fuck all you can do really, football needs the majority of fans to be strongly vocal and united on an issue before its even worth starting anything and it was always clear to me that we never got to that stage, much as i couldn't believe it. I did the only thing i could do, which was in any discussion of the toon with anybody i know and many i didn't i would point out everything wrong and the reasons he has to go etc. in a vain attempt to get them to think and see whats happening rather than swallow Souness' and Anal Oliver's bullshit every week. Sadly thats a very slow process, but i did see quite a few people sitting around me at the match change their opinions quite quickly

I love statements like that though, so why didnt you? hes fairly easy to find, for starters you could head up to the ground a couple of hours before the game and hang round or on an evening, just hang round by his car. Any basic bit of investigation would get you his home address and you could even just ring the club and ask to speak to Mr Shepherd. If i'm honest i would have to bump into Fat Fred when i'm angry (so anytime around a football match would do!) or else i just wouldn't think it worthwhile because we all know deep down he wouldn't take a blind bit of notice of one person. So ultimately its not worth speaking to him...and i don't agree with any of the stuff where people track them down and bother them and their families at home!

That happening for a year and a half?? No chance. 79300[/snapback] Eh? No, the injuries are taking their toll now and we were the better side yesterday. FACT. 79301[/snapback] Look mate, im not denying injuries havent had an effect on our performances since graeme came. They definitely have, but to hold them responsible for a year and a half of complete mediocrity is rubbish. Everytime we lose, souness starts whinging about the long injury list. Ive seen quite a few gutless spiritless performances under graeme. We've stooped to new lows under him. And we im not just complaining about yesterday when he said we were the best team. Ok, maybe we were the best team yesterday. But to be honest, ive watched almost all the games we've played under graeme on TV, we've deserved most of the failure thats come our way. Ive been near to tears, head hanging down in shame, with some of the performances we've put in under him. The club's lost a lot of dignity and self-pride, we've become something of a joke. And that just isn't OK with me. Lets all face it, Souness is a complete nitwit and has caused huge damage to our beloved club which is why I hate the man, and I will hate him forever. May, as in the words of souness, 'lady luck shine upon us' and we be rid of this parasite. 79549[/snapback] Agree with most of that, and Souness is one of the few toon related people i genuinely hate for what he's done to our club. People like Dalglish and Gullit did bad jobs but he's in another league. And lets not forget when Gullit realised he'd gone wrong he had the decency to not take a penny in pay offs for messing up the job, bet Graeme won't show the same attitude. His time at this club has been indefensible and more than any manager in our history the defence some people have offered him has been amazing at times, when the evidence was before their eyes in every single match, in his actions, behaviour and bullshit interviews. Look at Mick McCarthy, the mackems have had every bit as many injuries as us, with an even smaller squad and yet he doesn't feel the need to whinge like a bairn about injuries and luck every fucking week. He stands by his results working with what he has (alright they're shite results, but he takes the blame!) I've been a fan since the year we got promoted with Keegan as a player, and Souness is the worst thing i've had to put up with, because the only times i was watchign worse, less spirited, less entertaining football and results the manager didn't have anythign like Souness' situation to work with.

Nobody wanted him, mainly because he's a talentless prick, but when he arrived you had to give him a achance to prove you wrong. Well, he didn't prove us wrong, he was ever bit the disaster expected and worse, and it became clear to anyone with an ounce of sense he was goign to fuck the club up and that was the time the fans needed to be united in getting the bastard out of the club. Fat Fred would have reacted eventually, and if it had started last season when it should, the fans could have got him out and left us the time in close season to get a good manager and then this whole season wouldn't have been a waste of everybody's time and we may have been progressing instead of lurching towards disater. So whilst i won't be as critical of the misguided Souness supporters as the original post, those people could have helped get him out if they'd seen sense earlier when it was blatantly obvious where we were going.

If i get an extra day off work they can celebrate what the hell they like. They could have a national Graeme Souness' is great day if i miss work because of it!!!

Thats where it all started, however much people blame Bellamy for his part. Bellamy was by miles our best player that season at that point as all fans were saying, he was certainly the form striker and was scoring goals. Souness then shunted him wide to accomodate the two strikers he didn't have the balls to drop one of and then he subbed bellamy at Charlton to add to it all. He obviously had it in for Bellamy and wanted to use Bellamy as his target to show he's a hard man and would sort out the club (which he hasn't).

He's the David Brent of management!

I loved Green Wing and have been waiting ages to see it appear on DVD. Marke Heap as ever was fantastic, he's a comedy legend though the average person in the street wouldn't know him or his work.

79325[/snapback] That statement defies belief!!! And every game he comes out with the same boring, predictable shite, its like a broken record. Why does he bother when he could just give the press a bit of paper that goes thus: Injuries...ref...injuries...best team...injuries...luck...proper...team spirit...injuries...unlucky...proper...injuries...i'm a talentless twat who is killing this club...bad luck...ref...injuries I may have added one thing in there he'd never say! 79379[/snapback] Bad luck? 79381[/snapback] Yes, thats the one he'd never say!

Sing me up! Seriously though, imagine say 40,000 of the fans put in even a tenner, it would help soften the blow for Fat Fred and if we all put in £100 he could be out on his arse right now!!! 79361[/snapback] *Adopts operatic falsetto* "Me up!" 79367[/snapback] And Shearegol is right, it would seriously piss fans of to have to pay the bastard more money from our pockets to seemingly reward him for shitting on us for his time here.

So he needs 6 players to have the squad he wants...heres an idea, the stupid wanker shouldn't have got rid of: Bellamy, Kluivert, Ambrose, Hughes, Robert etc. and he'd have the six players he needs! Of course a manager with even the slightest intelligence and talent for his job would be able to do the job with what he has, but not our Graeme, every time things aren't going well he needs more players, more luck, more help from refs, more anything really! He's like the Oliver Twist of management

Exactly! And i've long thought the same as Scottish Mag. Any decent manager would finish several places higher up in the prem than the current fuckwitt, and those places are worth alot of money and would cover any pay off Fat Fred was stupid enough to have entitled Souness to.
