Souness Out!

[Blue blood]

i hope he gets a decent send off, because yes he may only EVER have won one medal, but.....................

HE HAD TO WIN THE DAMN THING HIMSELF

Another stirling insight from paddyk. Of course anyone with any sort of knowledge of football would know that it didn't quite happen like that. How many of our team got in the players team of the year? A fair few of our players also contributed a good number of goals, and as I recall our defence was pretty useful too.

Granted we may have built a team around Shearer, but they all contributed. Incidentally building a team around your star players isn't a bad idea, you may want to mention the notion to Souness.

All in all though i hope Shearer does get a good send off. Aside from being the best striker I've ever seen, and been pivitol in Rovers success, the chap showed the very rare quality of loyalty in todays modern game, sticking with his home town team despite them not really challenging for for honours. Added to which he turned down Manure, which if somewhat foolhardy was very gratifying. Clearly a talent such as Shearer should have won bucket loads of medals, and perhaps if he'd shown a bit less loyalty to Newcastle, or Newcastle had shown a bit more loyalty to a certain manager he would have won a medal with his beloved Newcastle.

At one time or another I think all our midfield had hamstring injuries and I think Cole may have had one?

Can Souness and his training staff not recognise that there is someting wrong with their training techniques?

Ah well, not our problem anymore

please please freddy give souey another 90 minutes,can't wait to give him a clap next sunday

[BRFC4EVA]

I dont see what N'castle fans are expecting? They sign owen, so that means they are garanteed and top 6 place. Sorry to tell you this but Owen is no Pele. People seem to have forgot this as he has been away from England for a year.

Yes he is an excellent goal scorer, but how many countless goal droughts did owen have at Liverpool, a club where he will get twice as many chances a game then at nufc?

He will score goals, for sure but he doesnt half miss chances as well. The question is, will nufc create enough to make up for this and judging by todays game the answer is no. Sets up next sunday nicely tho!

when did owen ever score 20 league goals for liverpoo

Never.

Luque's out for 6 weeks!

Parker suspended, Dyer and Emre likely to be out.

What odds on Newcastle's first win of the season and Owen scoring his first goal for the club and Shearer nabbing a last goal at Ewood?

or a rampant bellamy gets a hat-trick and puts the final nail in sourpusses coffin

tasty oh yes, final nail, ill make up some concrete too hahahahhahahaha

[LDRover]

Has Souness got the franchise on dodgy hamstrings?

He's been there just over twelve months and lost Dyer (more than once), Luque, Emre, Bramble, Boumsong, Babayaro and Carr to the problem in that time. That's not forgetting the same problems here over a number of years.

Training (or should I say lack of it) problems????

According to the Daily Mirror

"England Ashes hero and Newcastle United fan Steve Harmison has been awarded a seat for life at St James' Park"

Surely we should be rewarding our cricket heroes not punishing them

Souness, of course, fell out with the likes of Andy Cole, David Dunn, Dwight Yorke and Andy Todd during his time as manager of Blackburn. The first three have left the club, while Todd is suspended for Sunday.

I remember boarding a plane with United in Lisbon when Souness and his backroom staff were furious about comments made by then Blackburn skipper Garry Flitcroft on the eve of last season's FA Cup semi-final with Manchester United.

They claimed that Souness had done so much for Flitcroft, who had then stabbed his former manager in the back.

But Flitcroft is now languishing in the Blackburn Reserves and that is another reason why the spotlight will be all on the Souness-Bellamy meeting on Sunday.

Bellamy v Souness

Count down to dismissal?

Rovers will need to be on their guard on Sunday because these kind of "backs to the wall" situations that now exist at Newcastle very often inspire the players to make a superhuman effort on the managers behalf, and Rovers could cop for it bigtime.

I think you're supposing that any player at Newk actually cares about keeping Sourpuss and the Backroom Bozos enough to fight for them.

Don't know they don't, but not sure they do either.

They missed out "We were mugged by Lady Luck today"

Just to put the Souness legacy into perspective it said in the LET today he spent (frittered away) 48 million quid during his time at Ewood.

Over the same period Allardyce spent 5 million.

[waggy]

Souness looking forwards to his return to Ewood

[rover6]

We're all quick to tap away feverishly to elongate this thread when Souey suffers a calamity, so it's only fair to give him credit when Newcastle win.

Well done you lucky sod but you won't be around for the reverse fixture.

There.
