adios 717 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 That interview will probably be my only remaining memory of NUFC if I ever reach Noelie's age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 31121 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Aye the talksport interviews he did when he arrived ffs, they were basically a full on mental breakdown. I was in France on me hols and got a text off Scottish Mag telling me when it was announced. I swear I turned to my lass and said Joe Fucking Kinnear?

Dr Gloom 20234 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 It's still pretty fucking hilarious that Carver managed us for 4 months or so . i'm not sure what was the low point under the football genius. that, or JFK's second coming.

Dickie 0 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Aye Keegan going was the gutter for me because it was the point when we all started to suspect they were really going to fuck it all up. That was the watershed moment - everything that followed was pretty much continuous farce until Rafa arrived, with a little interlude when we went down and came back up, but even that period wasn't without significant discontent. A thought that has crossed my mind a few times over the last few months is how frustrating it is that Ashley didn't give KK the level of control he's giving Rafa. With how poor the league has been for the last 7 or so years we would surely have won something by now. Unfortunately it's taken all that time, and 2 relegations, for the penny to drop (hopefully).

Alex 31121 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I think the points been made a few times that KK would've done well and been happy with being given the money the subsequent relegation cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickie 0 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Totally Gloom - there'll always be the nagging suspicion that they're going to do something brainless and Rafa will walk, we've just been burnt too many times now haven't we Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie 0 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I think the points been made a few times that KK would've done well and been happy with being given the money the subsequent relegation cost. Aye that's it. And when you also factor in the money that's been spunked on the likes of Thauvin and Cabella, there's no doubt he would have spent far more wisely over the last few years. Nevermind, no point looking back I suppose, we just have to hope they're going to honour the commitment they've apparently given to Rafa.

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Massive investment will be required when we go up.We won't have any wasters worth silly money to shift so Ashley will need to find £100m if we are going to survive comfortably in the Premier League.

TIme will tell I know there's little point in going over old ground (but I'm going to anyway) but arguably Keegan's greatest strength was spotting players who could do a job. So Mike Ashley took that responsibility away from him and handed it to Dennis Wise. Worst thing was that Wise didn't even last very long after that.

Holden McGroin 5150 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 In general i think there is very little racism in this country. Having said that, I came up for the Brighton game recently and this bloke a few rows behind me was a complete racist. I think he was just doing it for cheap laughs for his mates. He'd clearly had a few run ins with other supporters around him. Complete dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4984 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Aye but their task force is international isn't it? There's plenty of racism in Eastern Europe from what we hear in the news... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie 0 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Of course there is, they get away with murder in some Eastern European countries, Italy, Spain, compared to what you see here. I remember watching Betis vs Malaga in Seville 10 years ago, a good quarter of the crowd were making monkey noises at Malaga's black centre forward. The crowd was probably 25k - 30k, so you're talking a good 6 thousand people getting involved. Never seen anything remotely on that scale over here, and a lad I got talking to in a cafe after the game told me it happens everytime there's a black player on the opposition team. It was one of the worst things I've seen in football but I couldn't find any mention of the chants in the media in the days after the game. I'd be interested to know if this task force has managed to stamp out that level of racism in the last 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
