Well at the end of the day a person's health and their family is the most important thing and everything else is of secondary importance.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
McLaren has stated today on Sky Sports that there is big difference between Premier League footballers and European Footballers.
Yes, Premier League footballers are a bunch of pansies, and are only bothered about the money and combing there hair and not about performing well.
European footballers play with passion, and love football.

Yes, I suspect McLaren (If Arthur quoted correctly) meant a large difference between English players and continental European players. Which is mostly true. European players tend to have a far better technical ability and are a better ability to read the game. English players tend to focus on strength and speed.

Re: Football Season 2011/12

The Sunday Mirror have published details of a rant by NUFC Managing Director Derek Llambias that it's claimed was made recently within earshot of supporters.
Here's how the paper reported the tirade, in which a trio of former managers - Kevin Keegan, Alan Shearer and Chris Hughton - and old boy Andy Carroll all come under fire:
Newcastle managing director Derek Llambias stunned Toon Army fans by unleashing an astonishing, foul-mouthed rant in public on Geordie icons Alan Shearer and Kevin Keegan.
The former casino boss â who virtually never gives media interviews â delivered a withering condemnation on the managerial abilities of the Magpies legends in front of startled onlookers in a Newcastle gastro bar.
Llambias, who along with Toon owner Mike Ashley has enraged Toon fans by re-branding historic St. Jamesâ Park as the Sports Direct Arena, blamed Shearer for Newcasleâs 2009 relegation and claimed there âwill never be a right timeâ for the former England skipper in management.
And in a blistering broadside aimed at Keegan, the Magpies MD claimed the former England boss is unable to cope with the stresses and strains of management.
Llambias railed: "Kevin Keegan canât take pressure. His f****** head is all over the place.â
He also made a shocking claim in a meeting with fans last month that Keeganâs second coming as Newcastle manager in 2008 came about *because he was the preferred choice of potential Arab buyers. He revealed:
âMike (Ashley) was selling to the Arabs and they *wanted Kevin Keegan. The Arabs wanted him, the fans wanted him â perfect!â
A candid Llambias admitted he was at fault for recruiting Shearer as manager in April 2009 when Newcastle were battling to avoid the drop.
Llambias said: âShearer was my choice and I have to hold up my hands â the wrong choice.â
Referring to the relegation battle and the managerial team of Shearer and Iain Dowie, he claimed: âShearer, for this, destroys us. He gave all the responsibility to Dowie. Rubbish!â
A supporter suggests âIt wasnât the right timeâ for Shearer. Llambias responded brusquely, and said: âIt would never be the right time. Shearer? There would never be a right time in football.â
When one of the onlookers suggested Shearer is arrogant, Llambias agreed and said: âYou guys have given him that arrogance.â
What will perplex Newcastle fans about Llambiasâ put-down of the Geordie hero is the fact that days after relegation, Ashley issued a statement in which he said:
"Bringing Alan Shearer back to Newcastle United was the best decision I have made.â
Chris Hughton succeeded Shearer as manager and led Toon back into the top flight at the first attempt as champions.
Hughton was sacked by Newcastle a year ago, and is now manager of Birmingham. He was also in the Llambias line of fire when one of the group asked why he was dismissed.
Llambias responded: âHe would never have taken us where we want to be. Thatâs my decision by the way.
"Chris canât make decisions. If I am asking about a player, Ben Arfa? he says âIâm not sure, blah blahâ.
"With Chris, he couldnât cope with where we are mentally. We are aggressive. You need to be aggressive. I donât want a manager below me who canât argue.â
But of all the colourful claims made by Llambias perhaps the one that will not be disputed by Toon fans is: âYou guys donât understand how f****** horrible we can be.â
After last weekâs act of soccer sacrilege at St. Jamesâ Park, many Geordies believe they understand only too well. Newcastle declined to comment last night.
|
Unbelievable, The Ashley storm had sort of calmed until this guy ran a mock. Now brings into question, who the hell is running this club? Llambias seems to have a huge mouth and seems to be the one pulling strings.
