Optimistic Nut

3-0. Moore, Ameobi, Dyer.

What the fuck does Anal mean by "steal" O'Neill??? The way he's talking you'd think O'Neill was already Newcastle manager. He's just as likely to be Fulham, England, Boro or Newcastle manager.

Juat stuck a fiver on at 66/1 with Bet 365.

What I'd expect is Ameobi alongside Owen or Dyer the last few games ahead of Shearer...but that won't happen.

It's Deschamps isn't it!!! *EDIT* No it's not, it's Ranieri.

Depressingly Shearer is still our top scorer with 9 goals. Only two were penalties. Shouldn't bite but this constant criticism of Shearer seemingly ignores the fact our other strikers just aren't doing it either. So there. 120574[/snapback] Look at the shirt position though. The number 9 position has produced 9 goals all season, the number 10 position has brought us 16 (Owen, Ameobi & Dyer).

To be fair, after Juventus who are running away with Serie A, Inter are neck and neck with Milan for the first time in a good while.

He said on his MSN Blog thing he reckons the last 2 games.

What the fuck???

It'll be Shearer. 119142[/snapback] True, no doubt the boss will say it's for sentimental reasons which will be bollocks considering we've paid 25 quid to see Shearer in his own match for "sentimental reasons".

Will be interesting who the manager picks in the last two games when Owen is back. On form, it has to be Ameobi.

If you tka the fisrst name of Kassu and the sefeond name of optrimistid nur you get kassu nut. teeheehee

Not sure about that. I broke my leg skiing once..... 118762[/snapback] Well yeah that was a daft statement, plenty get injured skiing, should have said his age.

Only Sir Bobby would get injured whilst skiing.

I'd say home games against Fulham, West Ham, Boro, Blackburn & Charlton have cost us more. (11 dropped points against those 5 teams)

So does this mean you don't care if Boro win the UEFA Cup?

It looks like it will only be top 6 for Europe anyway. Champions League - Chelsea, Man U, Liverpool, Arsenal UEFA Cup - Spurs, Blackburn & either Boro, Charlton or West Ham

Good part where they go to pick Chris Waddle up and Jack Charlton keeps stopping and starting the van so he can't get in.

I saw this on Saturday morning and it's probably the best football advert of the year. Reid was saying how none of the dressing room scene was scripted too which makes it even funnier with some of the stuff which happens.

True, but one thing about last season was that after we got knocked out of the cups, he started experimenting by dropping the likes of Kluivert & Robert and bringing in Ambrose, Milner, etc. and we only won 1 out of the last 7 as a result.

Another thing I've just spotted is that even though we've lost more games away from home this season than any other Premier League year, we've won the same amount of away games (5) in 17 games, than what we'd managed in 38 away games in the previous two seasons.

I'd like to see what impact a new manager has on him.

Just copy Alan Oliver's, but take one or two off Elliott & Shearer whatever they may be.

Correctamundo.

What gets me is how the first couple of months of the season is bollocks. I wonder what people would have been saying had we been 10 games into the season, 4th top in the league and Ameobi had scored 5 in those 10 games. When Man City did a similar thing in August-October, the media were creaming themselves over Andy Cole & Stuart Pearce, but just because ours happens mid-season, nowt is said.
