Isegrim

...apparently poised to become Klinsmann's assistant at Bayern.

...same here 5live have fucked off the cunts.. Listening to it on Radio Newcastle over the web, it's still on. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/mainframe.s...newcastle.shtml

A "FACT!" at the end?

Probably looking for Smooth Operator wanting his 5k back...

If we're talking blank cheques but with an eye to players who ARE gettable I'd get shot of Martins and Owen and get Defoe and Karim Benzema (or however you spell it) in.

Now I know what killed Bobby Fischer. RIP.

What a load of rubbish.

Bah humbug. People should never change their names. Chayton should be a warning to everybody. He was never the same after he turned into Craig... And I liked the old name.

Jealousy tbh. Even Messiahs aren't what they used to be...

Ha, my purchase of a new TV suddenly looks like good "planning" !

I remember that.... Douggie Hall wandering into the San Siro and announcing that he was here to sign Baggio for Newcastle... Those were the days.. Was it not the Stadio del Alpi? Sure it was Milan he moved to about a month after he tried that. Given his love for goalscoring Belgian centre-backs, van Buyten. Think you're right about him still being at Juve. Hope you're right about Van Buyten too, assuming he's the player he was. Van Buyten was an absolute class act for Hamburg, but looked a bit dodgy for Bayern, where he has been in and out of the first team. He is nothing more than a backup player there now (especially as they now have signed a Breno, a Brazilian kid). I think they might be willing to let van Buyten go for a decent price to cash in on him.

How wrong the referee had been before doesn't really matter. If a player feels the need to retaliate several minutes later he is just an idiot. There is no excuse for that kind of behaviour by shifting the blame to the referee (even if he is a tw*t like Rennie). Looking at it I think that Emre had absolutely no intention to go for the ball. Therefore it was a straight red.

Actually, after trying to think about it less emotionally it still seems a good idea to me. What were the alternatives? Besides of appointing someone like Mourinho, who was out of reach, every other manager would not have been less of a risk. Nobody could have said that the likes of Deschamps, Houllier etc. would have worked either. Well, at least I don't think they would have. So why not giving someone a go where you know to a large extent what you get. I don't agree with comments like that football has developed further. It's not as if Keegan last managed a club before WWII. And looking back at his time you can say that Keegan in terms of his football ideas and standard was ahead of his time. Now a lot will depend on the people Keegan will chose to work with him. But I am optimistic about it.

Delighted for him. The sky's the limit under Kev for the Zog. Shite. Get rid. [/baggio] Keeping him and getting him back to form has to be the best thing coming from Fat Sam's legacy.

Not at all. I realised that it wouldn't make any sense to try to get some more work done today. So went home, straight to the cellar to get a bottle of this... Fucking hell Isegrim, something good from Australia! I've nothing against Australia tbh, I just hate Craig Moore.

He was stupid to get wound up by the challenge on him and retailiate, but you must admit the first challenge was rough too. I can to a (very little) degree understand retaliating directly, but not several minutes later. That is just pure madness, but unfortunately too typical for the tw*t.

Damn, I forgot for just a moment what a dickhead this player is...

Owen!!!

Cool, I am on 38 now!

What's with those who became fans under Bobby Robson? Are they now considered pre- or post-Keegan-bandwagon jumpers? And how many points do the get awarded/deducted on Stevie's Soopafan ranking now? EDIT: Damn you Meenzer, we taught you far too much about efficiency down here.

I think that's how most of us feel. I decided to just enjoy my multiple orgasm for now.

Same old myth. He worked quite well with the likes of Dunne, Distin, van Buyten etc at City.
