Souness Out!

[pg]

They're all a bunch of brain-dead thickos, substituting true contentment for material wealth and shoving it in the faces of the people who bought it for them.

Nice work Bryan

I wouldn't say ALL thought... but evidently most

He's off again blaming 'lady luck'

Click Me (if you miss just blame lady luck)

[Steptoe]

strong sentiments, but taring all footballers with the same brush ? mmmmm............... not so sure mate

what about the likes of Shorty, our own boss Sparky and many many more, all of whom lead good respectable lives, and certainly not "Brain dead thickos"

And also excluding Ryan Nelsen, with a Political Science degree from Stanford, one of the top three colleges in the States. He was also Scholar Athlete of the Year in US College football (soccer) in 2000.

Haha, Leopards and spots methinks. Stupid stupid man.

[broadsword]

You can't keep on blaming luck.

Sooner or later it will go on so long that it's clealry nothing to do with luck. No-one has a 2-year unlucky streak.

"We could have won our last three games but lady luck's not shining on us."

The guy is a complete joke. Its become the only thing he can ever say. hes worse than Alex 'pizzaface' Ferguson.

I'm considering writing to some comedians to do a comedy sketch on him.

If i got £10 everytime he blamed lady luck, i'd be the new Abramovitch

He might have broken one too many mirrors.

Penultimate line of the first verse.

[rosie]

Good find - that's a great song as well.

Seriously though, people can have mental unlucky streaks (where they truly believe luck has deserted them) and it can be completely delusional. That's possibly what's going on here.

Truely, how can one person, use the same excuse year after year?!?

I just have to laugh..

He's off again blaming 'lady luck'

And just over a month ago (after a draw against Portsmouth) - Souness said: "I don't need to moan about lady luck."

When Newcastle were thrashed 4-1 at home to Fulham earlier in the season, it was the same "lady luck" excuse that's become familiar to Geordies....

Not sure if anyone actually realises the enormity of this:

Newcastle drew, at HOME, against Middlesborough and it was considered a GOOD result.

Just take a few minutes to actually THINK of that

How HAVE the mighty fallen!!!

Yesterday, in the Coffee Exchange in Clitheroe,I glanced at the sports section of the Times.Apparently, Graeme really rates Johnson, who he thinks almost single-handedly, is trying to keep Palace up.Whilst at Blackburn,Graeme was told by his very good friend Trevor Francis, that he should buy Johnson for the Rovers.

From the Sporting Life, Saturday:

"....Souness' long-time friend and colleague Phil Boersma has left the club's coaching staff by mutual consent just seven months after arriving at St James' Park.

Assistant Alan Murray said: "Phil has left the club, but I am not here to talk about Phil, and we will leave it at that."

1 down 3 to go!!

[Eddie]

When Boersma left here it was the beginning of the end for us, if it goes the same way for Newcastle we should see them in league 1 by the end of next year.

It would have been nice to draw against middlesboro at home

[brfcshabba]

I agree it meant Dean Saunders had more of an input into the team and the defensive side of the team fell apart

[paddyk]

back where we belong now above rovers!!

[Bazzathegreat]

back where we belong now above rovers!!

Go and polish your trophy cabinat , its got more dust than a buiding site, should take you tell the start of next season. So plenty to do to occupy you

[Neil Weaver]

back where we belong now above rovers!!

Hark, is that the sound of champagne corks a-popping I hear now the Mags overtake Rovers . How the mighty fall.

[brfcshabba]

Come back and we'll see where you are after your next two games against Everton + Chelsea

[rog of the rovers]

Coincidence they win without Shearer?

I actually think they play better when he is not in the team, yet every manager who has realised this has soon been sacked!

I think Shearer stayin another year is a big mistake, dont get me wrong he is a cracking player, and the best Rovers player ever, fact. BUT I think he demands too much respect at Newcastle and no one is bigger than the team.

Freddy Shepherd has either been on the whisky or is going mad....

Freddy says that Newcastle are second only to Chelsea as the biggest club in the country.

(This is despite Newcastle having just finished the season in 14th place - their worst ever position in the Premiership since being promoted in 1993.)

Shepherd says: "Newcastle are one of the hardest clubs in the world to manage. We're the second biggest club in the country. Anybody leaving here, unless they go to Chelsea, is going down. Where do you go when you leave Newcastle? We're a big club and a one-club city. Everything is focused on Newcastle United in this city."

Link to mad Freddy's thoughts: HERE

Titus Bramble meanwhile, has labelled Newcastle's season a "disaster".

Bramble says: "It's been a hugely depressing season for the club and for me. Our Premiership form has been the worst since I came to the club. We've pressed the self-destruct button so many times, it's embarrassing. I don't think any of us can look back on this season with any pride because, as a team, we've not done nearly as well as we should."

Link to Bramble's thoughts: HERE

Graeme Souness will be aware that in the last decade three Newcastle managers have left the club early in the season (by the end of September) after getting off to bad starts - Dalglish, Gullit and Bobby Robson.

A bad start for the club next season may well have the Geordie crowd chanting for Mr Souness to go....

Newcastle's managers in the last 20 years:

1985-1988 Willie McFaul

1988-1991 Jim Smith

1991-1992 Ossie Ardiles

1992-1997 Kevin Keegan

1997-1998 Kenny Dalglish

1998-1999 Ruud Gullit

1999-2004 Sir Bobby Robson

2004 - ? Graeme Souness

[jim mk2]

Perhaps Shepherd is right.

Despite the league position, Newcastle - along with Chelsea - are today expected to join the the G-14 group of elite European clubs at a meeting in Lisbon.
