Newcastle are a joke. Despite leaving us in the lurch, I've not forgotten how well he did for us.

Firstly, he left us for Newcastle in the same circumstances he joined Bolton from Notts County, so his critics here can't argue with the manner of his departure.
Secondly, the one to blame for Sam's departure from Bolton is Gartside. Sam wanted to to take Bolton up another level and the board never backed him. He was forced to do his business in the press and it was only when he no doubt threatened to walk that those in charge panicked and bought Anelka in order to retain Sam's services.
Remember what he did for us, not the bad ending. I feel sorry for him but the Newcastle job is and always will be a poisoned chalice, with all the demands for instant success and the insane clannishness which has their fat stupid fans demanding that only a Geordie be allowed to manage the club.
Here's to Alan Shearer's inevitable fall...
what ? we got fined for that and none of the money went to the cash strapped magpies, the bent bastard FA snaffled it up..ratbert wrote:Let's set the record straight, all those laughing at Sam's fate today:

the axe finally fell on Big Sam up at Newcastle today, leading to joyful dancing in the streets.
"We want to play like we did under Keegan," said one reveller, echoing the thoughts of most.
"I'd rather finish second and play great than win playing long ball shite," said his mate.
Big Sam's transfer policy has come under scrutiny with several questionable signings. Joey Barton was recently bailed pending trial for assault and affray whilst the defence he has "rebuilt" has failed miserably, leaking in the goals.
The final straw is rumoured to be when Sam asked for money to buy Kevin Nolan, his old captain at former club Bolton Wanderers. "He wanted £5m to bring him in, can you believe that," said one amazed board member. "We wouldn't pay half that for that crock of shite. Did you see his miss against Derby?"
Several Newcastle players moaned about playing out of position. One player, who didn't wish to be named said: "He asked me if i wanted to play left back. Left back I tell you. I'm an England centre forward. I scored against Argentina, you know that goal everyone talks about. I don't play left back. I'm not Henrik Pedersen."
But wouldn't you say Gartside has been vindicated? Has Allardyce used his money wisely, either at Bolton or Newcastle? He got Anelka and then dropped him into the same 4-5-1 formation and couldn't get the team to pass to his feet. He then signed a series of flops at Newcastle and played his other expensive players out of position. He's good at one thing: signing bargains who can play in a 4-5-1. But he thinks he's above that now. He's finished.ratbert wrote:Secondly, the one to blame for Sam's departure from Bolton is Gartside.

That the Geordies are a set of impatient Goldfish with the attention span of a 5 yr-old American kid with ADD, wizzing his tits off on high-fructose corn syrup?a1 wrote:if wikiwack aint lying

What about BSA's record int he wnd half of last season? He was balls for us and he continued to be balls at Newcastle. I loved him when he was with us, but was why followers of every other team in the world hated his post-match excuses. Serves him right....just don;t let him come crawling back round the 'bok!claus jensens guitar wrote:Its lying, its not up to date.
