Gemmill

We MUST be cursed.

For the umpteenth time: I said that Souness needed time to prove himself one way or the other. He's used that time to prove that he isn't good enough. Which doesn't make me wrong because he still needed that time to prove his inadequacy in his role as manager of Newcastle United (not Liverpool, Blackburn, or any other club he may have been at in the past). It was simply the true, 100% correct statement that "A new manager needs time to prove himself" that makes me RIGHT and not WRONG. FACTARAMA. 73891[/snapback] Gemmill, you were wrong because you thought he was the man for the job when he came here. That is all I am saying, just admit you were wrong on that aspect and I will never bring it up again. 73902[/snapback] I didn't think that you knobber! When I first saw his appointment I remember it vividly: I was abroad and I saw it on the BBC website and was as underwhelmed as anyone else. But after the initial disappointment I just thought "Ah well, he's here now. Let's see how the bloke does." Meanwhile, in Newcastle Airport's departure lounge........CARNAGE!!! 73910[/snapback] The first post I read after coming back from Barcelona (nearly 2 weeks after his appointment) was you saying something like "The more I think about it, the more I think Souness will be good for our club.....". Followed by "Anyone who doesn't think he should get AT LEAST 2 years in the job is a f*****g idiot". Anyway, this is getting beyond pointless now, and I can't prove it, so we may as well drop it. 73914[/snapback] Making stuff uuuuuup. I did say the thing about giving him 2 years like. And you were fucking idiot numero uno at the time IIRC. I've revised that time period downwards now btw, but don't worry, your "fucking idiot" status remains unaffected. 73916[/snapback] Cheers for that like. How was I, or am I, a fucking idiot, when most things I predicted under Souness came to pass? 73918[/snapback] It was a joke. Now stop crying.

The irony tbh 73856[/snapback] The predictability tbh. If you want to point out where I have been wrong, and I agree, I will be only to happy to admit it. 73858[/snapback] It was a general comment, I can supply an example from yesterday if you like. 73862[/snapback] Feel free, but don't bother if it is opinion..... Btw, I may be as bad as Gemmill in this regard, but you are the true king of never admitting you are wrong! 73868[/snapback] That's bollocks mate, I'm willing to admit when I was wrong. The bit yesterday I'm referring to is saying you'd prefer it if we didn't need a player of Parker's TYPE before changing your mind by claiming he wasn't good enough to be a player in a top side (can't be both I'm afraid ). Incidentally, feel free to point out where I've been wrong without admitting it, but don't bother if it's opinion 73879[/snapback] OK, I was wrong about that, in a pedantic kind of way. Not quite on the same magnitude of Gemmill's wrongness about Souness however. 73888[/snapback] This is Renton still DEFINITELY NOT trying to point-score by the way. Just in case anyone missed it.

Bollocks that is Beckham. 73839[/snapback] Beckham is class. He receives excessive coverage in the media because he takes a good photo ( before anyone else does it) but I don't personally think he's overrated.

So just to clarify; in saying the following: "So what's your stance now Gemmill, out of interest? Are you finally going to admit you were wrong in your assertion that Souness should be given a minimum of 2 years to prove himself, regardless of results and performances on the field, and his PR off it? Can we finally expect an "I was wrong" Gemmill exclusive?" you were in no way whatsoever interested in petty point scoring?

Relevant in the sense that it would NEVER EVER happen thereby rendering it irrelevant?

Uttering the words "Bellamy" and "chinaman's cock" has the same effect on both of them, and avoids me having to lie and say I was wrong.

Can we finally expect an "I was wrong" Gemmill exclusive? 73771[/snapback] Nope. I think that's about how long a manager needs tbh. I've decided a bit early though that I've seen enough and that he clearly doesn't have what it takes. Just not as early as the day he arrived at the club, which was as much time as you were prepared to afford him. 73782[/snapback] If Shepherd appoints Peter Reid, how much time would you afford him? 73790[/snapback] The man who engineered Sunderland's demise? Job for life tbh. 73793[/snapback] You know what I'm getting at, being facetious changes nothing. For the record Gemmill, I would have given Souness time despite his appalling pedigree, but practically from day one the man showed what an idiot he is. You just can't accept that I was right about him and you were wrong. 73805[/snapback] Being facetious as in asking silly questions about Peter Reid you mean? I said that once the bloke is appointed he needs time to prove himself. You called for his head from the minute he was appointed, and before he'd even been in charge of a game. Sorry, but I think I'm sounding like the more level-headed one here tbh. I dread to think what will happen if we appoint another manager you don't like the look of. Ok, he's proven that he isn't good enough (using the time that I said he deserved - that's all I said btw, no matter how much you want to make out that I painted him as our messiah). That doesn't make you right and me wrong.

Haway then Tom, who did you support before Liverpool?

Aye, bloody awful that like. I don't know exactly who's to blame for the initial mistake, but it would be pretty typical of the US media in their desperation to be first to break the story.

Oi Mister i'm not going to the arena! My music taste is impeccable these days. Shes gorgeous man, looka 73788[/snapback] If you're going to try and convince me that she's gorgeous, at least find me a photo that someone's taken the time to airbrush and make her look "gorgeous" on. She's not even passable on that one. Boxer's nose tbh.

Which makes you 7 when you "decided" to support Liverpool. So I was right then, your favourite colour is red?

Leazes, FWIW I agree with you on Allardyce and his open-mindedness with regards to training methods and treatment of injuries etc. I'm just unsure whether he'll ever be a "big-time" manager. I am convinced though that he would be an improvement on the current situation, but we should be looking for more than that really.

You've every right to blush. Hom. 73752[/snapback]

And what be happy with Bruce or big Sam? So Owen's not world class? Or Given? Gemmill you as an accountant knows that offer someone enough money and they may just be tempted. Do you think that Koeman is being paid more at Benfica than what the fat man can afford? Hey at least I've still got hair, tubby 73745[/snapback] Whether you'll be happy with them or not, that's who we'll be getting. And do you think Michael Owen wants to be here? Or wouldn't be off at the first sniff of one of the big clubs being interested? Whether Koeman is being paid more at Benfica is immaterial because a) he's not British, and to be fair to the lad, the Chairman's never heard of him.

I don't really do resolutions but I am gonna try and get to the gym a bit more (at all would be a good start tbh). Eating better as well - I got a smoothie maker and a steamer to have steamed veg instead of oven chips.

Lampard>Gerrard IMO.

I know you were just posting a list of world class managers mate, but it's like me posting.... Ronaldinho Schevchenko Zidane Beckham ...when talking about potential signings for the January window. Not gonna happen. P.S. The ginger dreads may well be gone now, but they will haunt you FOREVER! I'll see to that.

Fuck if the fat man wants to save someone from the sack he should at least offer Taggard a job! At the moment the following managers are unemployed: Deschamps Hitzfield O'Neil Ranieri And those are just off the top off my head. Who was the manager that went to Porto last season and only lasted a month? He was good if I remember but didn't get on with the board their. 73705[/snapback] To be fair, we can all reel off unrealistic or just plain crap (Ranieri) candidates off the top of our heads. 73735[/snapback] If you weren't so latently Gemmill your opinon would actually be worth something. Since the initial speculation of SBR's sacking I've be championing for Deschamps as Newcastle manager. As for the unrealistic comment, why shouldn't we expect Shepherd to employ a world class manager? Or are you happy for the club to continue in mid-table existance? On Ranieri, if you look at his record pre the russian revolution it was quite good. He did great things with Valencia the 1st time and if you think about the fact Chelsea were challenging us for 4th/5th around 2001/02/03 and yet they were on the brink of bankruptcy. So yeah he's real crap just like your man lover 73737[/snapback] Ranieri was a gibbering idiot in his time at Chelsea. FACT! And so what if you've been championing Deschamps for years? Does that stand us in better stead of attracting him like, cos some Aussie midget with ginger dreads has been posting about him on a message board? And funnily enough I'd like a world class manager to get the job too. I just don't think we've got much hope of attracting one, hence I'm not posting lists of unrealistic candidates like you.

More made up stuff about celebrities from the lass who barely says two words when you meet her in person tbh. Not even good celebrities either.
