Ketsbaia

I got it one Christmas when I was 7 or 8 and I can remember my Dad making all these grand claims about how he was going to fix the pitch to a thin sheet of wood, build a stadium for it etc. Unfortunately none of the promises he made came true and I was stuck with a bobbly pitch

I'm sick to the back teeth of telling people why appointing Shearer would be such a suicidal move. Lets get taken over, get him in and back him to the hilt with cash. If he's mint then fine, if not then we'll just have to run the new owner out of town when he tries to get rid

Why does it have to be an ex player? It doesn't, Ketsbaia just happens to look like a very good young manager who'll no doubt move on to bigger and better things at the end of this season and has made noises regarding our job. My choice is based on realism rather than the fact he played for us. Obviously it would be nice to attract someone like Mourinho, Bilic etc. but that's not going to happen. Out of all the managers I can see us realistically getting he'd be my personal pick.

Think? Shearer. Want? Ketsbaia.

Bah. The FT were on this story at the beginning of the week

One letter more and it's a perfect description of Danny tbh

One of the reasons punk started was to get away from smug self indulgent stadium tedium like this. Listen to Animals. More venom than any punk record

I concur. I don't concur.

I can't belive it. Strangelove, Spinal Tap, The Wire and All The Presidents Men being slagged off

Cuellar, Young and Milner? How are they shocking, they have hardly played football yet? :/ And FWIW Cuellar and Young has been bloody brilliant so far this season. Young is actually proving me wrong, as I didnt think he was worth the money. Cant see many RB's being better then him and available for less then £ 6 Mill to us tbh. Personal favo. Cuellar is easily worth more then what we paid. Just top class CB. The fact that we got Davies, Cuellar and Laursen is awesome. Milner is understandable though. He hasnt been given much of a time yet, but I can see why people think MON pushed it there. Still Ashley Young was fairly average coming to us, and he has developed into pure brilliance with MON and Robertsons help. Still I've learned not to question MON signings. I was sceptical to his dealings as Petrov really struggled settling in, never looked close to the money we paid. But this season he has argueably been the MotM in 70-80% of the matches we have played. Top class player. I also think MON knows the market isnt going to cooldown any time soon. MON also had to build an entire side with us, which a lot of people to realise. When Randy arrived we had a threadbare squad and players like Knight, Harewood, Salifou etc. they were bought for a reason. You need a squad. And you need those players who will accept the bench and be ready when called for. The very same players who grinded us a win away in Europe today! It just takes time to build a club again, but I think he is doing an awesome job. Never ever ever thought we would have progressed as fast as we have done when MON got here. Not in my wildest dreams. I think the main idea for most clubs is to look at what a manager does with a club in terms of success. I couldnt give a toss if MON bought Beye for £ 20 Mill if he continued our progress. And he really has earned respect on those terms. He can sign Bramble and I would support him. Anyway my 2 cents. Rip it apart. We'd want at least double that

Might as well have just said "Joey loves coons" and had done with it Christ, McKay is a fucking turd.

John Bolton? He's a grade A cunt and a dye in the wool Republican. Going on about bias in the media while trying to defend Fox News soon followed by arguing with a reporter only to kick off with a reporter having a debate with the person he was interviewing. Pilger made a complete arse of him a few years back IIRC.

Obama has Ohio.

It's all kicked off since 1am. Obama racing ahead.

Keyner has been charged by the FA for acting like a wanker in the tunnel against Chelsea. Mackems will be fuming.

We should expect it though, we're Newcastle United and they're Aston Villa.

Anyone else still buzzing off this? I simply didn't expect it.

Aye. Polls are still set to close in 24 hours

Winnar!

Sad stuff RIP Brooks Mileson.

MMMMNNNNNNUUUUURRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

And that means everything coming from you I thought you loved Oba?

Problem is Martins was gash against WBA. Tonight he was fantastic. If he did that more often people would rightly love him. Shola looked brilliant as did Duff. Jonas is amazing too.

Totally agree, was thinking at about 70 mins who was going to come off, then thought to myself that no one deserved to be subbed, they all played their hearts out tonight. I started to get really hung up on subs at about 75 mins. "Get Martins off! Get him off! He's on a yellow! He's tiring! Get him off! Get him.....YES! I LOVE YOU OBA! FUCKING GET IN! I SAID HE WAS MINT!"

Not a bad player on the park tonight IMO. All played out their skins.
