about as much truth in it as your baines tip

If they are all in order...why is he being investigated??

Fans booing Barton off the field against Derby would seem to suggest so. I meant after his punch up. Not his performances.

Big Sam and Steve Bruce have in the past.

Meh, i was underwhelmed.

Kelly Macdonald - I believe her name is (without imdb'ing) !

I'm hoping a new manager can get the best out of him. Wonder if he has burnt his bridges though (inc fans).

Whats good about it Alex? The trailers dont inspire me much but its very highly rated. I just loved it. It's a 'slow burner' if you like but I thought the tension was built superbly all the same. Tommy Lee Jones was great as the sheriff and the guy who played the hitman was excellent too. Apart from a few funny bits of dialogue it lacks the humour found in a lot of Coen Brothers films. 2J was spot on when he likened it in 'feel' to 'The Three Burials of Melquides Estrada' (sp?), if you've seen that. Depends if you like that sort of thing really as despite the body count, not a lot happens over the 2 hours or so. Tommy Lee Jones is in the 3 Burials as well isnt he? I thought it was above average.

Fuck off. Please. If you're blinkered enough to think that managerial experience isn't a factor then allow me to do you a favour and knock some sense into your skull. Experience guarantees fuck all. I think thats the point he was making.

You'd take him over James, Carson, flash gordon? Do you think those three are better than Given like? He's not the player he was, but he's still one of the best in the league imo. Only one of those 3 that is anywhere near Given right now is James. Carson and Gordon are both relatively young and will get better though He is still one of the best in the world. There are very few I would swap him for. On a side note, should he not be getting a testimonial soon?

79 for me. + 20 (if the Keegan one counts) - NJS point above.

Sky have cameras stationed there 24x7 dont they (or so it seems)? I dont believe the Gingers ITK !

Isnt he just about to sign Amdy Faye???

Best keeper we've ever had in my lifetime. You dont know what you've got til its gone!

True, but he also plucked Hyypia from nowhere, took a chance on some kid called Riise, gambled on Finnan who had came right through the leagues... Riise was pretty handy. Played for Monaco and Norway at the time. Finnan looked quality to be fair.

Harsh Times - quite enjoyed. Bale was pretty good as a crazed ex-soldier not adapting back to normal life.

The 2nds were ruining the pitch and as we loved to play football caused harm to our passing game. He also thought he could get enough friendlies for the reserves to keep their fitness up. Back in the day teams had small squads and the first team more or less picked itself anyway.

Choices are becoming limited though... Who would you employ? (obviously discarding Mourinho)

Barton was picked once for England and never again. Winning over the fans and being a top quality player aren't always the same thing. Barton wasnt a very good footballer to be honest.

And Jose doesn have a big ego???

How exactly did NUFC leek this . Bollocks tbh.

Alan Smith as captain shows what state we are in as a club. FACT,

Im going to stick by him. Played his heart out tonight while others didnt bother. He is least of our problems at the min. Smith needs to disappear rapidly.

Or the only player that actually cares about the team. Get a grip. Isn't he the mole? Or his family? 100%er. Not very many on the team tonight.
