Happy Face

He does strike me as a bit of a Hoddle. I don't mean he has a deep hatred of the handicapped, just that he'll have an ego that will alienate his players.

I'm not having this cautious optimism. Blind optimism is how you win games and it needs to come from the manager, players and fans. As shown last night. Pure belief. If you have no faith, then the messiah can't welcome you through the gates of heaven to everlasting enlightenment. Keegan will surpass even his previous achievements at the club.

The lad in front of us was jumping all over the shop when they scored. He looked a bit worried when we started having a go, quick to explain he'd had a few quid on 4-1. Belter.

Fuck off boy. You know nowt. When you've supported the team as long as me I might allow you to comment. Now do one!

OMG I'm a pre-keegan fan at last. A liscense to condescend.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcastle_uni...Manager_History EDIT: Keegan still our only full time manager over 50% That'll be gone by the end of the season.

If it happens at least our glorious failure will be fun to watch, unlike the last 3 years.

I'm so excited my tears have turned to spunk. I'm literally jizzing out of my eyeballs with joy.

Michael Owen must have thought things couldn't get worse for him on Sunday.

Me ma's over the moon.

Doooooooby dooby dooby dooby, quack quack!

You're no Akabusi like. Where was Akabusi? Apologies Gemstrodamus. The King is dead, long live the King.

Keegan out tbh.

Sack 35 of the backroom staff and bring in Shearer and Rob Lee and we're off.

Sod off, we're going to win the league man. Messiah.

QFT. Wonder what impact this'll have on tonights gate. Cash turnstiles right? Will he be unvelied? I was going to get pissed and arrive half an hour late but now I'll have to be there half an hour early.

.com say so too.

god, i don't. Not to worry. .Com says "Nicky Butt and Alan Smith are suspended, Barton remains unavailable and Beye, Faye, Martins and Geremi are on African Nations Cup duty." By my reckoning that means our available midfielders are... Emre Duff Zoggy Milner If this goes to extra time we're going to get raped. Will be a joy to watch some attacking mids this season after watching the defensive approach. Its a good midfield IMo? Not bad for 20 minutes.

Is that Gemmill?

Damn you! I'm on tenterhooks to get your take on developments.

I picture you pumping your fist as you say that, a la Alan Partridge.

I say ban anyone in the top ten posters in this thread.
