Keegan has a huge ego, but still feel he has a right to be a bit miffed at Newcastle this time round.


Man City - Yet to be seen, but I really like the look of this Jo, and with Robinho joining him up front I think they will be very dangerous. With the likes of Spurs and Villa not looking that amazing, I think City will be in 5th, and may even nick 4th... Or they may just have a mare!


If this take over all goes through smoothly, then I expect them to buy in January, and buy a mega squad in the summer and really compete next year. I don't like teams buying success, but at the same time, I'd love to see them beat United just for giggles! >:D<



This - althought I'm not sure I'm quite as supportive after his handling of Barton


It could also be argued that he needed to bring some of his methods up to date - although if it turned out that the person doing my scouting for me was Dennis f@@@ing Wise I might reconsider that as well....

I feel a bit sorry for Curbishley and Keegan. Both were managers with their hands tied behind their backs when it came to spending and when it comes football chairman most of them know f**k all about football. They are there to make money for themselves and the shareholders, so unless you have a rich benefactor these days who wants to use your club as he plaything you're pretty much f**ked.

Exactly right Jah! Mike Ashley tried to be the fan that bought the club, but unlike the Blackburn fella in the 90s (Walker? Memory not working), you just can't do it in this day and age! Alan Sugar wouldn't be able to compete financially in this game now, not at the top of the prem anyway.


Feel very sorry for Curbishly.

Sadly you're right. Quite surprised that the Muppets that own Liverpool didn't cash in on Torres on Monday night. Wouldn't surprise me if this happened in Feb. :(:(:(

Exactly! The new owners will want their own man in. I can see the same thing happening to Mark Hughes as what happened to Keegan and Curbishley. They'll bring in players they don't want and get rid of players the manager does want. Hughes will probably have little say in the transfer market and he'll be on his bike whether they sack him or not. I can imagine he had little say in the transfer of Robinho, for instance. You've got to let the manager manage otherwise it's just chaos.

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
