Baggio

and they are above Bolton in the league, because Bolton don't have one ???? Your one mixed up kiddah mate, talking bollocks as well. I take it that you think every club with a DOF would therefore be successful ? If not, then what exactly are you saying ? Please explain why Fulham sacked Ray Wilkins as manager when they had a DOF [Keegan - who chose him] as you think this is a foolproof, automatic route to success ? While you are at it, please tell us who your guaranteed success as a DOF at NUFC would be ? Bolton haven't got one to my knowledge although they have got a fantastic scouting network, perhaps they should get one to push the club on further. Where have I said every club with a DOF would automatically be successful? Link? or have you made it up? Ray Wilkins was given the DOF job by Keegan as it was a job for the boys, he has no knowledge of scouting or of running a successful team behind the scenes unless you have a link to somewhere that says he has? Poor planning from Keegan. I can't say who would be a guaranteed success as DOF at Newcastle but that isn't my job to find one, Sir John Hall has spoken about getting one for the club which means it's at least being discussed at board level. Like I said it's worked well for Spurs, they've continually finished above us since they've had one and he's built them a better squad than us without having to put the club into debt. great planning from the Spurs board.

Makelele off Robben on.

"Don't you think I realize what's going on here, miss? Who do you think I am, huh? Don't you think I know that if I was some hotshot from out of town that pulled inside here and you guys made a reservation mistake, I'd be the first one to get a room and I'd be upstairs relaxing right now. But I'm not some hotshot from out of town, I'm a small reporter from "Rolling Stone" magazine that's in town to do an exclusive interview with Michael Jackson that's gonna be picked up by every major magazine in the country. I was gonna call the article "Michael Jackson Is Sitting On Top of the World," but now I think I might as well just call it "Michael Jackson Can Sit On Top of the World Just As Long As He Doesn't Sit in the Beverly Palm Hotel 'Cause There's No Niggers Allowed in There!"

I watched Beverly Hills Cop last night. Great film.

Arsenal coming into it more at the end of the half.

Spurs are 3-0 up already against Bolton and will go 3 points ahead of us in the league if they hold on. Their plan seems to be coming together, if they finish above us this season (which is looking likely) then that will be the past 3 years they would have done so. Ever since they brought in a Director of football.

LOL. No. Next time someone - and it won't be long - says the board are shite and should go, I suggest YOU ask them who they think is better, has the desire to be better, and will back their managers more. As you are the one that wants to know. I don't particularly want to know, because I'm not stupid enough to think a replacement will automatically be better, and could easily be worse. Who said a replacement will automatically be better? Link? Or have you made this up too? No, I haven't LOL As I said, it seems the vast majority want the board replaced, unless you are suggesting they stupidly think that they would be happy with inferior replacements ????? So if you haven't made it up can you provide a link to a post that backs up your claims? I have no idea why people want inferior replacements, I presume they must think they would automatically be better , wouldn't you agree ? Anything else would be pretty stupid wouldn't it ? What an idiot LOL You forgot to post that link.

1-1 Drogba.

1-0 Arsenal Walcott after 12 minutes.

So you've made it up then.

Parker booked for clapping Butt's booking. What a prick.

Huntington off for Carroll.

This is what you get when you play two technically inept CM's together. Zero creativity.

What a throw!

Milner and N'Zogbia on. Duff and Solano going off.

Milner and N'Zogbia getting warmed up.

Bollocks. The new West Ham board thought "we'll change the manager, throw money at the problem and hope somehow it all comes out in the wash" They are reaping what they have sown. £7.5m on one injury-prone player was nuts given their perilous position. How you can claim that is any sort of sensible logic is beyond me. If anything Mr Magnusson has proved that running a PL side is a little trickier than selling biscuits for a living. Of course they did Matt !!! The point of the post is to show those who think "anyone but Fred" that, as I have said on numerous occasions, there are plenty of people out there who would be far worse...and in my view, not too many who would be better. And how a "plan" means absolutely nothing if the manager is shite. Hopefully though, when they do go, one day, we WILL get someone better. Who has said "anyone but Fred"? Can you provide a link or have you made something up yet again?

Half Time.

Gooch gave away a needless free kick.

Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Bollocks

Kilbane on for Heskey. Martins down injured.

Martins header saved. Wigan keeper having a great game.

Nobby misses!
