fairly rapid ascension from ranger! booted out of southampton, on trial with our youth side, on the bench for newcastle at the emirates. Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Rich Pullen on Saturday, August 30, 2008, 18:32:00 Don't get JCP started! But yes, essentially, you are correct.

Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: JPC82 on Saturday, August 30, 2008, 21:50:09 saw the pair of them hanging around looking juvenile while i was interviewing clichy after the match today. felt like telling them i hated them, but thought better of it because i dont. dont do that bestie, Nile will stab u up, make sure u go careful xxx Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Saturday, August 30, 2008, 22:25:39 Did anyone see Newcastle's chairman down a pint in the crowd?
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Arriba on Saturday, August 30, 2008, 22:54:48 i was there.arsenal were ace and newcastle awful.
barton got absolutley ripped to pieces by the crowd. and i hope the toon chairman gets fined for breaching drinking in football ground rules Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 10:40:22 Problems at Newcastle they reckon. Owen could be sold for peanuts apparently.
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: dell boy on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 10:45:06 Did anyone see Newcastle's chairman down a pint in the crowd? That was class, not bad speed seeing it was probably the sixth or seventh pint of the day.Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: strooood on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 10:49:15 completely illegal though?
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Batch on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 10:55:39 Yes, I'm not sure you are allowed pints in the crowd. Designated areas only.
This is one area we could learn from the yanks on. Though I don't fancy my chances of my money reaching a beer seller at the end of a row and more importantly my pint making it back to me. Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: DV on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 15:02:30 Problems at Newcastle they reckon. Owen could be sold for peanuts apparently. To me, Manchester United need an out and out quality natural goal scorer and Owen is out of contract in a year and if he turns down Newcastles offer would probably be sold cheaply before he is a free agent. Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Nemo on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 15:12:36 Yes, I'm not sure you are allowed pints in the crowd. Designated areas only. Our stewards take this bit very seriously, at the last home game a steward had a go at me for drinking a pint literally a foot out of the orange box so that I could see a TV. Guess being a billionaire helps though. Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 18:49:04 To me, Manchester United need an out and out quality natural goal scorer and Owen is out of contract in a year and if he turns down Newcastles offer would probably be sold cheaply before he is a free agent. If he stays fit Owen will probably bag anyone at least 15 goals a season. Would deffo be worth a £2 mil price tag. Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Arriba on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 18:53:04 owen was shit yesterday.toure had him in his pocket
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: strooood on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 20:02:35 disagree, he did alright. he was playing alongside shola ameobi so was just a touch isolated.
did absolutely fuck that chance just before HT at 1-0 though. should be starting for England. Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Bogus Dave on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 20:06:41 arsenal are signing patrick viera on a season long loan according to my mate
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: STFC4LIFE on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 20:07:36 arsenal are signing patrick viera on a season long loan according to my mate BANG, one phone call and I don't know.Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Bogus Dave on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 20:09:03 JPC, any truth to this rumour?
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: STFC4LIFE on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 20:11:07 He's just ringing up Ben Joyce now, who know's some lad from up Plymouth that used to play for Southampton and he had a mate who was at Arsenal so might know.
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Bogus Dave on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 20:18:58 I await with interest. Perhaps his parents know david dein
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Arriba on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 20:32:00 disagree, he did alright. he was playing alongside shola ameobi so was just a touch isolated. what did he do well then? looked to me off the pace and not good enough for england for sure.did absolutely fuck that chance just before HT at 1-0 though. should be starting for England. Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: DV on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 20:59:23 Michael Owen is one of those players like Alan Shearer. Doesnt matter how well he is playing or how off the pace he is...he will score goals.
There is no logic behind it, he just does. His scoring record for England is top and he always pops up with a goal when England need one. Also, Unless i've missed an injury wheres Gabby Agbonlahor.... Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Arriba on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 22:50:30 we might aswell get shearer back then.
owen is past it.if not he wouldn't be at newcastle. his england career is over Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: DV on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 22:58:27 If Alan Shearer was still playing he still would walk into the England side!!
Owen has 89 caps and 40 goals. 4th top scorer of all time and has never gone more than 4 England games without a goal. He's been playing for England for over 10 years and is still only 28. Being at Newcastle hardly makes his career over. The aforementioned Alan Shearer spent his best years at Newcastle, not because he was finished. Considering the other line of England strikers are Heskey, Defoe, Crouch & Darren Bent I think Michael Owens England career is far from over because he is about fifty times better than the previously mentioned strikers. Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Arriba on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 23:03:55 newcastle are a worse side now dv.also owen is a crock and has had his day
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: DV on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 23:06:11 Probably true on the Newcastle point but that has no reflection on Owen.
He's a natural born goal scorer and will continue to score goals untill he retires, which hopefully wont be for another 5 years at a minimum. Please name me a better English striker out there than Michael Owen? Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, August 31, 2008, 23:08:26 Alan Shearer

Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: LucienSanchez on Monday, September 1, 2008, 09:10:05 I don't care how off the pace he is, he is more deserving of a place than Theo fucking Walcott. That kid is baaaaaaaad
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 09:17:11 Apparently Keegan has gone
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Batch on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 09:21:28 Apparently Keegan has gone A Wise move? Is that just the rumour mill (was doing the rounds last night) or is it fact? Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: tans on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 09:21:54 Its not on SSN so cant be true
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 09:22:58 A Wise move? Is that just the rumour mill (was doing the rounds last night) or is it fact? Probably just the rumour mill and the bullshit press Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Ardiles on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 14:11:17 Seems to be true.

Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Fred Elliot on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 15:34:08 A wise move indeed
Wise installed as 7/4 favourite to succeed Keegan Toon Army are baying for his blood :D :D :D Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 15:34:53 thats owen gone aswell then
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Summerof69 on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 15:35:29 Wise and Barton....a lovely pair !!!
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Summerof69 on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 15:36:00 thats owen gone aswell then He can't go anywhere for the next four months... Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 15:40:34 well yeah i know that im sure you get what i mean.
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Fred Elliot on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 15:43:56 well yeah i know that im sure you get what i mean. I dont Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 15:45:00 fuck off
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: JPC82 on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 16:18:11 Barton can go on loan some where and make the move perminant in January
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 18:00:34 It's all gone a little bit mental in here... I'm staying in - bording the windows!
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 18:24:55 It's all gone a little bit mental in here... I'm staying in - bording the windows! No need to now, apparently he's not been sacked. Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: JPC82 on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 18:28:06 but they havent confirmed hes still manager, so has he walked away again?
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 18:29:24 Yeah he's walked like he always does.
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: JPC82 on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 18:31:36 they are a club in turmoil, keegan apparently telling friends hes been sacked, Ashley claims he hasnt sacked Keegan.
Fucking weird Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 18:35:59 Mr. Ashley has probably realised that the sight of him in a Newcastle shirt (probably not the one that said 'King Kev #1') won't go down well on the Toon supporters... In their eyes Ashley has fucked over a NUFC legend... It's only going to get uglier.
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Scot Munroe on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 19:04:59 seen something on teletext when i got back from work that Newcastle have confirmed that Keegan is still the Newcastle manager.
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: glos_robin on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 19:50:02 I thought he'd quit anyway? I'd imagine this is just one of those statements the club lawyers tell them to put out to reduce the amount of compensation the club has to pay out.
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Power to people on Wednesday, September 3, 2008, 12:51:35 It is all down to Wise, the players that have come in are being brought in by him, Keegan has no input and they want to sell players he wants to keep.
Technically they want a coach not a manager, so he will pick the team and take training but have no input elsewhere. It is quite funny as Tonn fan's were raving about Ashley and how he would take them to the next level and now look, he's not spending any money, got his lackey Wise in control of recruitment, forcing out Keegan.......it is wasn't so funny I'd cry for them...but I'll just laugh Toon fan's have always thought they were bigger and better than what they actually were...roll on the next Sheikh takeover Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Batch on Wednesday, September 3, 2008, 13:10:41 http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2008/09/03/ashley-fights-to-keep-keegan-61634-21662201/
Sheds light on what might have happened, rumour is he had a spat with Derek Llambias who fired him. Ashley did not authorise the sacking and is now trying to sort things out. Ordinarily I really couldn't give a shit about Newcastle, the most overrated club and fans in the land. But it is quite an interesting story. Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Wednesday, September 3, 2008, 13:11:44 I saw on the news some fans had drapped some homemade signs over Keegans fancy big gates outside his home - Im sure he was thrilled!
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Batch on Thursday, September 4, 2008, 18:15:00 He's finally quit then.
Wise for manager? Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: JPC82 on Thursday, September 4, 2008, 18:16:22 i hope Wise does get it, so the fans go mental and boycott the games
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, September 4, 2008, 18:17:32 He's finally quit then. Wise for manager? Tis my day off tomorrow, if I go down town I'll have to walk past their ground en route... If anyones watching TV I'll be the one in the background, easy to spot because I'll be the only one without my trousers being tucked into my socks and lacking a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale in my hand. Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Thursday, September 4, 2008, 18:27:11 Wise will get the caretaker role will he not?
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, September 4, 2008, 18:28:23 Probably with McDermott resuming his role as 'yes man'
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Batch on Thursday, September 4, 2008, 18:33:22 i hope Wise does get it, so the fans go mental and boycott the games Hahaha, me too :) Doubt Ashley will be pictured in the away end downing pints for a while either Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, September 4, 2008, 18:38:17 Hahaha, me too :) Doubt Ashley will be pictured in the away end downing pints for a while either He'll sell up sooner rather than later now... He's a bit of a knob, as soon as Mort left it started going downhill. Sir Bobby Robson always said a chairman should be dignified, wear a suite be the face of the football club - Ashley wore a replica shirt and drank pints in view of the masses. Most would be okay with that, but Ashley isn't a Newcaslte supporter and all it looks is false. Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Dazzza on Thursday, September 4, 2008, 19:50:19 I think old Ashley has dropped a bollock or two there by letting keegan walk. Not only has he sacked the messiah (he’s not the messiah…) in the eyes of the Toon “army” he was probably the only man they would have stuck by for a season of lower table shenanigans.
Wise is onto a hiding for nothing in that role and pretty much any manager worth their salt is not going to have a sniff. I am interested to see what odds Curbishley’s got on the job though. Out of the frying pan into the fire and after West Ham he can carry pretty much carry on at the Toon as he left off at the Hammers Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, September 4, 2008, 19:58:04 It was fun listening to 5live report from St James'...lots of chanting of "sack the Board" nostalgia eh...
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: JPC82 on Thursday, September 4, 2008, 20:00:33 wouldnt suprise me if Keegan wanted out and Ashley wanted rid of Keegan but both to scared to have to pay each other the £2million, so Ashley prob gave Keegan a few hundred grand to say he resigned rather than all the stick Ashley would get by sacking Keegan
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, September 4, 2008, 20:02:22 It was fun listening to 5live report from St James'...lots of chanting of "sack the Board" nostalgia eh... Alot of statements too - alot of fans claiming that there's no communication between club and fans - Hmmm.... Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Nemo on Thursday, September 4, 2008, 20:14:43 400 protestors? Useless geordies, the trust had that many out easily, and that's from crowds of 6000.
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: yeo on Thursday, September 4, 2008, 21:22:20 Newcastle fans really wind me up.
I dont think Wise even wants the job,keegans such a fucking bottler! Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: JPC82 on Thursday, September 4, 2008, 21:24:45 Newcastle fans really wind me up. I dont think Wise even wants the job,keegans such a fucking bottler! Wise loves his current job, sits in a office in london on fucking huge money while Jimenez says who newcastle should sign, then he rings ashleys and says we want jonas guttierez Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, September 4, 2008, 21:25:02 I love how the media how making it sound like loads of protesters are still out there - but really they're just getting pissed up at Shearers Bar.
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, September 4, 2008, 21:28:32 Wise loves his current job, sits in a office in london on fucking huge money while Jimenez says who newcastle should sign, then he rings ashleys and says we want jonas guttierez Do you think Wise sits in an office...I think he probably sits at home, has Gus round for a couple of cevezas to watch Sky Spanish football, and despatches Jimenez to conduct the deal. Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: JPC82 on Thursday, September 4, 2008, 21:29:40 Do you think Wise sits in an office...I think he probably sits at home, has Gus round for a couple of cevezas to watch Sky Spanish football, and despatches Jimenez to conduct the deal. well he has an office in london, dunno whether he uses it Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Batch on Thursday, September 4, 2008, 21:32:13 Newcastle fans really wind me up. I dont think Wise even wants the job,keegans such a fucking bottler! :nod: Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, September 5, 2008, 12:17:54 Walked around St James Park earlier, pissing it down with rain - however, there were only 15-20 youngish protesters walking in front of traffic getting them to honk their horns, chanting. There were more cold, miserable, bored looking reporters!
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: michael on Friday, September 5, 2008, 18:10:00 Apparently Keegan would have had to pay £2m if he resigned, but his lawyers argued constructive dismissal and so Ashley let him walk.
He should be happy really, his legacy remains in tact, and will not be tarnished by the inevitable 16th place finish that they would have had this season (possibly even below Sunderland). Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Rich Pullen on Saturday, September 6, 2008, 23:15:41 Quote from: NUFC Statement Official NUFC Statement: September 6 NUFC wished, at all times, to keep any dispute that it had with Kevin Keegan private. It is therefore disappointing that information has reached the media through unnamed sources and a briefing has been given by the League Managers Association that could give rise to a misleading impression amongst the Club's fans. Newcastle United have no desire to engage in a war of words but inaccurate reporting of factual matters and inaccurate allegations have to be corrected. It is a fact that Kevin Keegan, on appointment on 16th January 2008, agreed to report to a Director of Football and to the Board. It is a fact that Kevin Keegan worked within that structure from 16th January 2008 until his resignation. It is a fact that Kevin Keegan, as manager, had specific duties in that he was responsible for the training, coaching, selection and motivation of the Team. It is a fact that Kevin Keegan was allowed to manage his specific duties without any interference from any Board member. It is a fact that Kevin Keegan agreed only to deal with the media in relation to Club matters relating to the Team and not to communicate with the media in relation to the acquisition or disposal of players. It is a fact that NUFC is a business and operates, like all businesses, with financial constraints. It is a fact that NUFC's financial constraints inform its transfer dealings. The Board of NUFC have responsibility to ensure that the club is able to meet its commitments which include the wages and the transfer fees for players. The structure at NUFC is clear, and has been clear from 16th January 2008. Fight-Fight-Fight-Fight...... Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: michael on Saturday, September 6, 2008, 23:19:24 Slightly reminiscent of our own Friday Statement Saga during 2007 no?
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: Arriba on Saturday, September 6, 2008, 23:21:28 it is a "fact" that the statement wont matter fuck all to how their fans feel about the situation.
Title: Re: arsenal v newcastle Post by: sonic youth on Saturday, September 6, 2008, 23:39:32 i like the capitalisation of T in Team.
