British football gossip

Souness gets the sack
He's being replaced "temporarily" by Glen Roeder and Alan Shearer.

Here's a gratuitous pic of eye-candy extraordinaire Alan Shearer, looking all mean and moody

Good for Newcastle. Souness should have been sacked ages ago. One of the worst managers in the league.

Glen Roeder! oh god , the hammers nearly killed him and now he's back for more!

How about, Djibril Cissé aressted last week for beating his pregnant wife, then getting a warning for "common Assault" and traipsing off back home to do her over a bit more...

Is looking good for our visit their on Saturday then.
The team will be picked by 1 guy with no expereince and another with brain tumour.

Shearer? Mean and Moody? Mary fuckin' Poppins more like. Still, can't do a worse job than Souness.

What about Campbell last night - less than happy about being subbed at half time he stormed right out of Highbury and fucked off home. Fair enough though - he's the biggest fucking cunt in the Premiership (marginally beating Savage to that accolade).

Should have been done earlier but I'll take what I can get. Souness was leading the club to the Championship and not in the direction of Europe as he was charged to do.

Sadly after spending 47 million quid on players the club is now short of money. Coupled with the fact that Souness himself receives a fairly hefty 6 figure payoff I think we may struggle to find/afford a decent manager.

Hopefully the board will change from their attitude of Geordie manager first, and if none are available then English, then British and as a last resort foreign and actually appoint the best available manager for the job, regardless of nationality.

d'alessandro man-of-the-match though CRACKing performance apparently...maybe there's hope for pompey yet...

More eye-candy please, Topsy.

not at all biased in your judgement of Campbell, there, Jimbo

I must admit, I'd never thought of him as a prima donna before, but it seems last night's was flounce of R***s-esque proportions, innit?

And apparently Ferdinand was sent off because of kicking the shit out of Savage . The refs should consider that just like a small kids sometimes need to be strictly told to control their behavior, Savage also sometimes needs a good kicking to let others play their football !!

yeh, savage had six inch gash in his leg... now he has a complete pair if u add the one between his legs...

thats it !! Savage is a lucky bastid !!! And Ferdi got SENT OFF for this !!! .. I have seen Savage do worse !!!

What? Did I miss something? Did ManU lose last night? oops. Well LIverpool only managed a draw I suppose but better than losing though, and we have 2 games in hand...

Souness out. Good job indeed. Shearer should be the next to go. He is a dangerous influence on Newcastle and has too much to say for himself. Still a semi-decent footballer but way past his sell by date.

Time for Newcastle to do a MAJOR clear out and hope to get back in a couple of years

Yup.. but your next 2 games are against Arsenal and Chelsea. So effectively Man U are 3 points in the clear

After last night's performance, I am not really too concerned about our game with Arsenal, and Chelsea can be beaten

Although conceding a goal against Birmingham is slightly worrying (albeit and own goal)

After Arsenal's performance last night I reckon L'pool will trounce 'em. I certainly hope so. THEN they can start losing again. Spurs for 2nd spot!!!

So. Who would put money on Newcastle going down?

Apparently he played well and Pompey were unlucky not to win it.
Our 8 required wins will start at SJP on Saturday

They wont go down. I think they will just about manage to survive. There is enough quality in the club for that.

Not me - bottom 6 though, no doubt about that. Who'd put money on Spurs finishing 2nd???

whats sarah jessica parker got to do with it...?

As soon as Andres and the other new signings gel i reckon Pompey will be a force to eb reckoned with... and tehy have an option to buy as well, so he could be at Pompey for a long while, he's a star of the future i reckon, only 25...

SJP= St James' Park

yeah stimmt

He should have already been a star. He was the best performer for Argentina in the U-21 WC in 2000 or 2001. He was the star player at River too. But then he f#$ked up and joined Wolfburg, where he had a major form slump. Hopefully he will live up to his potential at Pompey.

3rd, maybe. But not second. Liverpool can only blame themselves if they do not claim 2nd

Not really. They will have to blame Man U

or arsenal. now campbell's done a runner we might start defending properly!

Eh? Liverpool should blame ManU for not winning enough games to finish above ManU? Strange theory, but OK.

ManPoo still has to play Arsenal, Chelsea AND Tottenham, so just as many problems to encounter

aaah, and the mighty rovers beat them last night as well muahahahahaha

No, for not losing enough games to allow Liverpool to finish ahead of them .
But I must admit they are not doing a good job of it right now !

The Mighty RED (that's Liverpool, Man Poo have lost that mighty title a long time ago) will beat the Arse the way they are playing, and well as for Chelski, Liverpool, as proven in the Champions League last year, can be beaten, but even a win against the arse and a draw is enough for Liverpool.

With GOD back, they should start scoring goals as well, and poor Alonso, feeling sorry for Birmingham last night, and giving them a hand to help relagation, or is he an anti-Newcastle fan, and helping Birmingham out of the relegation zone, and put Newcastle further into it ?

When did Cantona sign for Liverpool?

Ya, by a dodgy goal which probably was not over the line too !!!
You wont always be that lucky against them, as was shown to you guys in the league match at ANFIELD !!

Very dodgy goal indeed. But that is the way it goes. The goal was given and Petr Cech stayed on the pitch. Had the goal been disallowed it would have been a penalty and a possible red card

This sacking of Mr Souness has left a very bad taste in my mouth

I mean the man has hardly been given a chance at all!!

In the job for nigh on 2 years and has done fuck all. Hardly given a chance? Do me a favour

Sorry Topsy, but you might not appreciate me as much after this post, but I could not resist this as we have a different view of the man where I come from.

I'm sure bluedave will also appreciate the sentiment!

Souey knows his stuff

as did Bobby
Gullitt
Dalglish
et al

ALL HAVE BEEN UNDERMINED BY THAT FUCKWIT SHEARER

Anyway
Up the Boro

Just watching the Man City v Newcastle game on tv and to be fair, with all the money spent on the team NUFC look shocking and Souness got what he deserved imho.

Yorkie ya bad lad, you're not gonna get me in a fight with Topsy

Totally agree on the Shearer thing. Great footballer but a total fuckwit. He thinks he runs the fucking club

well, that's you off the Christmas card list, then

BTW. Who was manager before Robson?

Gullit I think. Not sure though !

It is a genuine picture from a book I have, honest!
I did not do the doctoring myself I swear.
There are lots of better and classic pictures, with other players, that you would appreciate more.
I promise to be a good lad from now on, and work my way back on to the list.

She'd kick your arse!

Hey Rus,
why do you think I've started grovelling now!
And I'm smaller than bd...

I wouldn't kick anyone's arse, I'm a big softie, me.

So there'd be no smacked botties or anything, you only get that for being good.

favourite to take over from Souness long-term is Sam Allardyce, according to the bookies
here are the odds:

Well as long as they are aware that, whatever they do, they need the express permission of Alan Shearer then I am sure they will do very well.

Agreed with all the above, they might as well give the job to Shearer since he is the puppet master there anyway.
