Now Sidwell's tackle on Harry Hill; THAT was a sending off!

But who cares, come Yakubu you big useless fat man.

This is disgraceful. Referees and these new 'over the top tackle' sending offs are ridiculous. In no way should John Obi Mikel have been sent off for that tackle.

If you saw F.A. Cup MOTD, you would've seen Trotter red card. Quite why it was given I don't know, and quite why it hasn't been overturned beggars belief

 

[evertonfan]

Good result imo. If you'd have offered me 2-1 before the start of the game i'd have took it without a second glance.

 

[Manly]

You've now got every chance of walking away with the tie, I reckoned it'd be 1-0 today, and 1-0 in the return leg, so to get an away goal is a bonus

WTF Newcastle?! I guarantee if they had stayed with Sam Allardyce in 5 years time they'd be in a better position than they are now and unless they get some miracle manager I doubt they'll be any better off in 5 years.

Lolz. Newcastle's rash decisions ftl.

 

[Leicester Fox]

Alan Shearers favourite. They'd be better off putting him up front not as manager! Guess it could work...

Newcastle will never learn. Once Shearer cocks up and is fired perhaps the fans will stop trumpeting his name around like a quick-fix to our problems, and actually let a new manager settle in, and build the team up in his style, instead of having the team try and cope with a new manager every few months.

I wish Newcastle would just look at how our patience with David Moyes has payed off instead of being n00bs and rushing teh spl0iter.

Is Leeeeeeeeeeeeroy! available to be signed for the job?

Shearer will become the new manager, will win his first game 5-0 vs Man Utd, the fans will all think we're the best in the league and then we'll lose every game from there on. Watch this space.

 

[evertonfan]

I'll agree with that. Now let's get a certain animated Gif posted....

 

[Deleted member 13648]

I have no idea what animated Gif you are talking about Matthew. Unless you mean the 'This is Spam!!' one which is genius.

I wouldn't mind Martin Jol as our manager now I think about it.

As I'm checking out sites to set up a vbookie event for the next manager, Redknapp seems to be the bookies favourite.

Joey Barton and him could be crooks together :

Harry Redknapp? What has he done wrong? He has a cosy job at Portsmouth anyway.

On September 19 2006 Redknapp was shown on camera by BBC Panorama taking part in what appeared to be an interest in approaching a player illegally. Redknapp denies his conversation about then-Blackburn Rovers player Andy Todd with the soccer agent Peter Harrison amounted to "tapping up" or illegally approaching the player. Redknapp referred to Todd as a "tough *******" during the conversation and suggested that he would be interested in signing the player on a full time basis if he was available. Redknapp told the BBC that he has never taken a bung and had given Kevin Bond no reason to think otherwise and that he considers himself to be "One million percent innocent".

In the final report of the Stevens inquiry published in June 2007, the only criticism of Redknapp concerned his ownership of a racehorse named "Double Fantasy" thought to have been given to him by the agent Willie McKay, which has aroused some suspicion. Redknapp told the inquiry that it was possible that he did own the horse but insisted that he had not made any money out of it because the horse was a failure and never won a race.

On 28 November 2007 it was reported by BBC News Online that Harry Redknapp , Portsmouth Managing Director Peter Storrie, former Portsmouth chairman Milan Mandaric, agent Willie McKay and footballer Amdy Faye had been arrested by City of London Police in relation to the ongoing inquiries into allegations of corruption in football.
