Optimistic Nut

Only 2 goals conceded more than Man U as well.

I've tried The Dugout for an update but it's not there yet. Any other website with the latest transfer window deals included?

I wonder if Craig Moore might come in for the Southampton game?

I'd actually agree with that. I could imagine in training sessions gone by, Shola taking the piss out of O'Brien so he might raise his game tomorrow.

I just don't think Roeder is better than Souness. Nothing in his past management career suggest otherwise. Souness had to go, and I suppose for a few weeks, Roeder shouldn't be able to do too much damage. But I think people who think we'll play with flair & passion tomorrow, just because Souness has gone are in for a bit of nasty shock.

I'll be keeper again. 10 months injury-free!

that is correct....and without being deliberately flippant, the chairman of Newcastle isn't going to do that ..... 87930[/snapback] His stars were sold AFTER relegation. And Souness took Blackburn to 6th did he not?

Would you resign if you knew that your imminent dismissal would make you 3 million quid better off?

Hitzfeld, Irureta, Le Guen, Deschamps, Ranieri. There's five who would be an instant improvement and are available now, 3 of them who could really take us on to the next level.

Without wanting to sound thick, how do you set that as the background?

More likely to be: "Come 2 work in N'cle. Weather cold like Sweden. Women all dogs just how you like them. Fred." 85768[/snapback]

Win us a few cups and he can be as greedy & as vain as he wants.

Ahhh, Acuna. How we could do with him now.

Hargreaves at right-back?

You can almost see the Sven Diamond Midfield now... -------------------------------------------Nedved-------------------------------------------- -------------------------Emre-------------------------------Beckham----------------------- -------------------------------------------Parker---------------------------------------------

McClaren's just had his Boro contract extended.

We only want him to get bored when Newcastle become an attractive prospect for the likes of Terry and Lampard 85221[/snapback] About 7 months time would be good after they've steered England to World Cup glory under the leadership of newly appointed Toon boss, Sven Goran Eriksson.

With the pacey forward line of Heskey and Claridge there was only one way to play....Hooooooooof.... As for Celtic, they were also mostly big hoof, but Larson was/is a superb footballer who worked well with both Sutton and Hartson. However, I'm not having ago at O'Neil for this type of football, because he'd get results from it by buying players who could play these roles well, which is why I wouldn't mind if he came here. 85197[/snapback] How dare you forget Ian Marshall & Tony Cottee!

He also won the Portuguese double with Benfica, and got them to the UEFA Cup final in his first season in charge. 85127[/snapback] He also took them to a Champions League Final. He knows the Premiership probably more than anybody anywhere, and has a vast knowledge of European football. Along with Hitzfeld, he'd definitely be my choice.

Main headline in The Scum tomorrow is Eriksson will be our manager after the World Cup. I think it's more a case of them putting two and two together and coming up with 56 tbh.

If the 10 year-rule applies, why hasn't Harper had one yet? He can have a mix of ex Gateshead, Hartlepool, Bradford, etc. team-mates as opposition.

Thanks mate.

Bet Keano & Lennon are looking forward to it.

That's pretty much the top and bottom of it I'm afraid.
