Alan Shearer is the worst man for the Newcastle job

3
Update: Yesterday Alan Shearer reiterated his desire to get into management as Bobby Robson endorsed his case for the soon-to-be-vacant Newcastle post. The following article, published on 6th September 2008, clearly highlights the folly of such a move. Few clubs have supporters quite as adept at knowing who they want to be their next manager as [.

Amr Zaki: A player Wenger would have been proud of

17

Amr Zaki is proving to be the "thinking out of the box" player that Wenger prefers. With a nice affordable price tag.

He is on loan to Wigan and it is because of his performance that pundits suspect that Wigan are better than they look. Steve Bruce is all praise for the EPL's top scorer.

Emptying the Notebook: On Beckham, Carver, Exantus, Anelka and more

13

So it's the day after the Los Angeles Galaxy's awful 3-1 loss to Chicago on Thursday and you're probably wondering where the Galaxy will go from here. I can tell you where at least one of their players is.

None other than David Beckham is in New York City today along with wife Victoria to promote their fragrance lines.

In Defence of Joe Kinnear

2
After Terry Venables and apparently 16 other managers said "thanks, but no thanks" to Mike Ashley, one Joe Kinnear has been named as the caretaker manager in charge of the mess at Newcastle United. Younger readers might be asking: Joe who? Good question kids. Well, Kinnear performed the borderline miraculous task of keeping Wimbledon F. Click to continue reading...

Morning Ticker: Chicago buries Galaxy, Kinnear named Newcastle manager and Keane to let Yorke join T&T

4

The Los Angeles Galaxy just flat-lined. Coded. Went into cardiac arrest.

You don't need to watch Grey's Anatomy or ER, or be a doctor, to know the medical terms for what happened to the Galaxy's playoff hopes last night. An embarrassing 3-1 loss to Chicago all but squashed LA's faint playoff hopes less than a week after a promising win against D.

West Ham 3 - 1 Newcastle United (And Other Ramblings)

1. A Good Walk Spoiled

Not that I would ever consider golf to be a sport, but I quite enjoyed replacing my weekly boo with Boo Weekley for a while this weekend.

That said, I'd like the chance to boo Boo Weekley weekly. What a tool.

How To Make Newcastle United A Successful Club Again

1
Contrary to popular belief, Newcastle United is not a poisoned club. Nor are they jinxed with injuries. At worst, they're a poorly run club who has made one bad decision after another after another. With news that a Nigerian consortium are interested in buying Newcastle, Toon fans will be keeping their fingers crossed that current owner [. Click to continue reading...

West Ham United vs Newcastle United: Match Preview - 20/09/2008

1
1. Northern Exposure

Over the last 18 months or so, only Newcastle United can match West Ham for the sheer volume of negative press cuttings written about them. However, there is a distinction: whereas we were unjustly rebuked for commendably giving two young, disadvantaged Argentinean street urchins the chance of a better life, Newcastle have allowed their deluded self-regard to get them into all sorts of trouble.

Freddy Shepherd maybe back in the mix

1

It seems that Freddy Shepherd is feeling his way back to Newcastle. And he says that Ashley should reinstall Kevin Keegan.

Shepherd really brings a lot of baggage and I don't think this is a good move. He held the fans and the players in contempt while at Newcastle. And he never once took responsibility for getting it wrong.

Ex-Chelsea player now odds-on favourite to be Newcastle manager: What reception will he get from the fans?

Kevin Keegan is unlikely to be returning as Newcastle manager for a third time and Alan Shearer has decided against throwing his hat into the ring for the vacant position at St James' Park.

OK OK.

I get what it is about Alan Shearer.

Did you watch SportAid last night? I thought it was great entertainment.

Shearer - Managers Must Be Allowed To Manage

International News: Déjà vu for England?

2
Following the squad announcement of the England national team for their friendly encounter with Czech Republic, the stunning re-emergence of Emile Heskey into the international setup is a decision which has to be looked at with considerable surprise. The Wigan striker has a worthy 45 caps to his name and it is clear that Capello is one of Heskey's leading supporters, but is it not time to give others a chance rather than reverting back to old tactics?
