Optimistic Nut

Not a single quote.

Another advantage of us winning the WC is that it will prove the xenophobic fucks wrong and show that a foreigner can do a job as England manager. 115694[/snapback] Remember the campaign for Keegan last time around and we all know that ended in tears.

You have to laugh at Alan Oliver and his "Exclusive". Amazing how the only journalist in the country it seems who knows the next England AND Newcastle manager is Alan Oliver. Twat.

Totally agree.

Can't be that effective then.

So it's supposedly O'Neill, Allardyce, McLaren & Curbishley. All I can say is, I hope to f*ck Sven wins the World Cup then one of those 4 flops. Sums up the FA that they'd knock back a World Class coach just to keep the gutter press happy.

How come every thread now involves Jenas?

Over-rated.

It was me.

I loved watching him in his first season. When he was out wide with the ball, the ball just seemed to stick to his feet and he could hop his way past 2 or 3 challenges. For some reason he doesn't do that anymore which is a shame.

The irony would be brilliant.

Man U, with Shearer scoring an injury-time winner on the last day of the season to help win the title for Man U.

He's played loads of games though, especially this season. 114733[/snapback] This season, 20 starts, 6 goals. Not the worst record I've seen...certainly not bad enough to warrant a lot of the stick he gets.

8 goals in 2002-3, 10 goals in 2003-4, 7 goals in 2004-5 and now 6 so far this season. I don't think you'll get many 3rd choice strikers with a much better scoring record tbh.

(Emre) "No, I'm not listening. Graeme is a great man".

(The San Siro Three-Legged Race) "Come on Craig, we've nearly lapped them...Conceicao's dragging Emre by the hand they're that knackered"

I've already said what I thought about it over on O-N. The Goldfish bowl song was excellent and was surely good enough stick for him...but the homophobic chants were pathetic.

No idea but whoever it is has picked a good one.

2-0 to Hearts after an hour (a fucking wonder free-kick from Hartley to make it 2), so it looks like Gretna will be facing the likes of Fiorentina, Spurs & Sevilla next season.

Why? Two top quality French League players who would probably adapt well to the slow pace of Serie A.

The one who was fucking awful against us for Bayer Leverkusen, but has been excellent for Lyon the past 2 seasons, has now been linked with AC Milan.

He's Toontastic's HTT, what do you expect? Happy Birthday.

Also particularly like this bit. Sounds to me as if that was a thanks but no thanks message? We can certainly see how and why someone would come to that conclusion but we prefer to look at it another way.

If we got taken over, I say we should enjoy the ride. A few Chelsea fans I know are loving every minute of it, but they aren't taking it for granted because they know in 5 years time things might change.

:D Brilliant.
