I think he did the same with Umbro too if memory serves.

The more they do it though, the more and more idiotic they look.

Depends who the competition is. If it's Milner I don't think he would have any problems at all unless Beckham could teach him to pass and cross.

Keegan being Keegan will be aiming next season to break into the top four or even win the league. And this is the way it should be, what's the point in playing unless you play to win. This doesn't mean we will be expecting to achieve this and a wafa cup spot and some good football would be an excellent achivement next season. Of course a lot will depend on what players we can bring in. If we do have the money to spend that is being suggested and Keegan can pursuade some of the names that are being talked about to come then it might be possible to have a realistic run at the top four.

I thought Ashely sold his stake in Adidas a while back?

Fucking anything to have a go at us. Chelsea and Manure are paying players £100k+ all the time yet because we are will to pay £70k it's going to drive up wages and harm the rest of the league. Do me a favour.

I don't know, he can pick out a pass and cross a ball which makes him a damn sight better than any of our other wingers.

He does look like a right jessie like.

Just had a look and there's nothing on SSN at the minute.

We have fallen a bit off the top half of the table in recent weeks and I think it will be very difficult to make up those points. There are probably a few teams in that pack above us though that are likely to have a bad spell too so it may still be possible. I'll be optimistic and go for 8th.

I think Enrique has generally looked pretty solid since he's arrived. He does need to offer a bit more going forward though.

Surely you can see the mistake you've made there.

Faye has been the most consistent so far but I do think that Cacapa is a better player who's just taking a bit of time to settle. Allardyce's drop a defender as soon as he makes a mistake hasn't helped anyone though.

I think Allardyce was one who had the negative effect on the way we play. I'm hopefull we could see completely different players in three of those under Keegan. Shola's a dead loss under anyone.

The Seven Per-Cent-Solution. Canny take on Sherlock Holmes's cocaine adiction with the brilliant Alan Arkin as Sigmund Freud and a strangely underused Laurence Olivier as Moriartti who turns out to be a maths teacher. Robert Duval does a fucking awfull English accent as Dr Watson though.

The makems should have signed him really. Did you see their second goal on Saturday? They make our back four look water tight.

Hopefully Senegal will get knocked out but I'm less concerned about what happens to the rest. I just can't bare the thought of having to suffer Carr in the team for an extended period. Having Faye back would be canny too!

Exactly what I thought. But he would be an excellent signing if we could get him, we're crying out for someone who can pass the ball.

Excellent point. I was fairly happy coming away because at least we tried to play some football. Under Allardyce the midfield was usually completely bypassed unless N'Zogbia managed to get the ball from Given, but now they were clearly under instruction to avoid the long ball as much as possible and build from the back. The confidence is still low and with the amount of players out (not to mention Boltons ten men behind the ball at all times) it was always going to be difficult but at least we tried which was nice to see (although the tit end that sits behind me was complaining every time they got the ball from Given, I can't for the life of me undertand why someone would spend £600 on a season ticket and want to see out keeper hump the ball the length of the pitch at every oppertunity). Shearers coments on motd were also very interesting. Not that he had spoken to Keegan but that he identified how badly we are missing a door opener in midfield. Hopefully this is something that was brought up in his discussions with KK. The media are always so keen to jump on our defence but never noticed our complete lack of ability in attack and it was good to see someone mention it.

Thought it was very good myself. He's right when he says he understands us more than others from the outside. I think he knows we've depressed as fuck about what has happened in the last few seasons. I also get the impression that he has been promised serious funds (don't know about a blank cheque book but I'm sure he'll have a very good wedge) and they really are aiming to do something big again. I think he also realises how difficult this will be but aiming to scrape europe will get us nowhere. I think we will aim for the top (aim not expect or achieve) and for me that's the best way to go. I must admit that I'm more excited about tomorrows game than I have been for any in a long time and I'm starting to feel like I did when I was a kid. And you can't ask for more than that.

The Simpsons. Like a long not incredibly funny episode. It's the Simpsons so it's still canny but they've done much better.

Got to admit, I'm still far from 100% on his appointment but god isn't this better than before. Even if some of it's pure fantasy you can still beleive there's some possibility of it happening under Keegan. Remember when signing Maldini didn't seem impossible?

I was touch and go from what I saw on the telly. But clearly that fuckwit Rennie is to blame. He let their guy get away with a shocking challenge on Emre just minutes before which sparked the situation off. If he had took some action then Emre wouldn't have lost it and would have stayed on the pitch. Is there a worse referee?

I have my reservations about the apointment but this in bold is quite clearly bollocks. He took us to within an inch of the title and I for one would be over the moon to get anywhere near that again. He's got teams promoted no bother at all and never got a team relegated. He's also never had any problems attracting quality players. So Championship leven is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.

Not sure about this tbh. The thought of getting back to what we had is obviously exciting but I'm far from certain that he can do that again. Fingers crossed though and he will certainly have me full support.
