new football season 2007/8

Thought Sunderland played really well today - a very good result too. My tips to go down are Bolton, Fulham and Derby BTW.

Sad to see what's happened at Newcastle, but I don't think Harry would be the right man - not sure about Mark Hughes, he has done wonders at Blackburn. I think managing Newcastle is hard because the expectation is to play open attacking football and to win - it's great when it works; however most managers will think of shutting up shop before they look at strengthening the attacking options. George Burley would play open attacking football - whether he'd win games is another matter. One thing I didn't understand is why didn't Alan Smith just get off the field as soon as he could - why waste time arguing with the ref, getting sent off and having to miss a match. I guess it shows he cares.

it seems that souness fancies the toon job -
AGAIN !!

Sounness wouldn't stand a chance (back me up here Nic)- and I don't think they would touch Shearer even tho he's a legend, he has no experience as a manager - Ashley is a businessman not a gambler - I reckon Hughes (if he'll move)

Bloomin' heck a couple of wins and were mid table - funny old game.

If Newcastle want a manager with:

1. Geordie roots
2. Managerial experience
3. Attacking Flair
4. Who's a bit of a live wire
5. And the fans love

Then there can be only one...

Diccus,

Souness would not be welcome back, even on holiday!

As far as the others are concerned it is all just speculation.

Interesting first interview with Ashley in News of The Screws today, looks like he has completed his market research on the terraces and will now get more heavily involved in the board room.

Pleased to see that at least one North East team managed a win this weekend.

BTW HEAD OVER HEALS IN LOVE was written by former Smokie members: Chris Norman and Pete Spencer.

You make me a stranger
that's what time can do
baby you mean ev'rything to me
darling there's no danger
for all that we've been through
that anyone could love you more than me.

I've got news for you babe
all the things you do babe
make me think of how it used to be.
And it looks like I'm falling all over again
head over heals in love with you.
Yes it looks like I'm falling all over again
head over heals in love with you.

Will I get through to you babe
I love ev'rything you do babe,
the same old feeling this time's feeling new.
And it looks like I'm falling all over again
head over heals in love with you.
Yes it looks like I'm falling all over again
head over heals in love with you.
In love with you, in love with you.

Quality - was he singing about Gazzer?

Very soulful.

ROTF - for some reason, I thought your Keegan link was going to be when he fell off his bike on Superstars! If only.

if he gets the job.... "i will love it"

the toon saga continues..........
now its: gerrard houllier as favourite with shearer as possible assistant.

Its anyone who'll take it really isn't it?

starting to think that way myself bob

What? Are you interested, Scotty?!!

no f*****g way man ! not for all the tea in china. a thankless task and they talk funny up there !!

cappello under investigation for tax fraud !

munch,
that will suit our counter attacking style and passing game-me hopes!
scotty

new toon manager...KEEGAN.
yes you read correctly....KEEGAN.

Should be worth watching on MOTD - I've always liked the 1-1-8 formation.

Never go back! It'll be fun for a couple of years but it'll all end in tears.

you know what.....i think it will give the geordies a big lift, for how long im not sure!
i wish them all the best -enjoy the ride lads.
scotty

yep! piss poor game.
ashton looks overweight and unfit.
lucas neill was done for pace yet again!
ljungberg is a waste of space.
apart from that - same shit different flavour.
