I think it's because he seems so "old school" and that Souness brought him back when football had moved into the 21st century with sports science specialists and so on "to raise spirits" people get the idea he's a bit behind the times, and assume (or as HF says, find it amusing to perpetuate the idea) he is only good for puting out the cones and nipping down the bookies. If he can help recreate the feel good factor of the mid nineties you won't here me complaining. Any idea what he did between his two stints with us? Wikipedia has drawn a blank. International playboy is my guess.

Let's not start saying things we don't mean now.

A Criminal Lack Of Capital Letters.

Any chance that snake hips's 'traditional lemonade' is soda water that's been spunked into?

He keeps Barton though, which could be just as bad.

Does anyone know how old he is? He could very well retire when Keegan does I think.

I think he gets an inordinate amount of slagging considering no-one ever knew what the fuck he did. If he is supposedly just the tea-boy, then how does he get the blame for NUFC being shite? On the other hand, no-one will accept he has ever been given a major coaching role, apart from when Keegan was around. So when we shoot up the table in the next few weeks, I hope T-Mac gets all the recognition he deserves.

Well T Mac is the de facto number 2 under Keegan anyway, so I doubt you've won anything.

However, all the gen chat in talk ins etc is that he was the class joker in the dressing room etc.

This is what is so hilarious to me, as a pundit he never says anything you didn't know already. He makes out like he's got a career on MOTD, but sorry, I think that contract will last only as long as someone more interesting and insightful comes along.

Seemed like the old Kev, but a little more frail, a little more hardened to the press, and a little more pissed off. All good signs we are going to storm the league within 3 years.

A couple of points 1. How the fuck is NSG 'getting away with it' if Stevie used his account without his knowledge. Unless those mods have some cast iron proof that NSG didnt just give him his password, which given the evidence is pretty clear, then I would think it's a stone cold case of being fucked over by a mate and paying dearly for it by those who are too stupid or arrogant to accept they have acted like cunts in the first place. 2. Stevie where do you get off in a thread where it's becoming obvious you have fucked over an apparent mate of yours, slagging another member of this site for her opinions on the subject, which apart from allowing NSG a neutral platform, has jack all to do with anyone on this site?

Realistically, Ruud Gullit can suck my hairy ballsack. And realistically, even though I am straight, I can not guarantee not to get a semi if that ever happened.

As I wasn't around to see her demise, on account I had something better to do, can anyone who saw her death give me any hope over and above the fact she was incinerated by Dev suicide bombing the Rovers?

How did you get hold of Ashley's pitch to Keegan?

Milner prefers it on the left according to BSA.

Never had a problem tbh. Blacklisted.

You're playing fast and loose with the word genius there like.

There was definitely a bit of media hating and unfinished business going on. Nice the way he deflected the first Shearer question by slagging the reporter for queue jumping.

The ambassador shite was probably quietly dropped when MA came in, if it actually inolved anything anyway.

Are they sure it wasn't "I've got my desert Eagle point 5-0 polished"

In Keegan's own words we are as big as any outside the top 4. I'm saying that we get more press attention than say Everton on announcing a new manager etc because of recent notariety and gaffes, not because we are any more popular nationally i.e. outside of the local area, than Everton or the like are. Sure we were a draw to outsiders for good reasons in the old days, but in the last few years, from outsiders all I have had is ridicule and pisstaking. Sure Britney Spears was a popular singer. Don't kid yourself that is why she is a draw for the press nowadays for fucks sake.

Nail on heed that marra. Said it before, in that sense we definitely are a big club and it's why we get a bad press a lot of the time from individual journos who are clearly just peddling their own resentful little agendas. Jealousy. There's a fine line between being a big draw and a freak show. Do you think the press are all over Amy Winehouse or Brtiney Spears every day because they're great singers? No, it's because they want to see them implode and top themselves. It's ghoulish fascinitation. Everton and the like are just not that interesting. No, it's because (rightly or wrongly) people seem to care/have an opinion one way or another. And people seem to care a remarkable amount about Newcastle. Aye, but the implication behind 'who says we're not a big club' is popularity or success, not notariety.
