Forget what's happening up in Tyneside (heck, I love Keegan and am pleased his back but the round-the-clock coverage on SSN is surely overkill?) things are finally starting to happen at Fulham with the signing of Brede Hangeland - a tough looking Norwegian centre-back - and the soon-to-be-confirmed arrival of Marlon King from Watford.
I haven't seen Brede play - although Roy used to be his manager so he's not a blind purchase - but he looks like he fits the bill very nicely and should come straight into the team. Who is best paired with him? Both Hughes and Stefanovich have been okay this season so I guess it will be down to which pair form the best partnership.
King has a good strike record although he is pretty much untested in the Premiership. The goals montage on CCN made for good viewing and if he bags a goal on his debut which could feasibly be tomorrow against the Gunners it could see the start of a very happy relationship. A bit sad to see Collins John leaving (albeit on loan initially) but he's failed to make the grade despite being given plenty of chances. Maybe a spell in the Championship will relight his fire so to speak.
Am trying to get an interview with a Gooner and if i do it will be posted up later....

Being a Newcastle fan was never meant to be this hard! just when i thought things were looking up, after the return of legendary Geordie, Kevin Keegan, i go and read this article on some online sports betting company’s website that is already writing off his chances of turning round the clubs fortunes. This got me thinking, after seeing managers sacked after relatively short periods of time and new gaffer’s chances being talked down before even one game in charge, along these lines...
Are the football managers of today given enough time? I personally believe time is the answer - look at fergie at man u and Wenger at arsenal... My beloved Newcastle will never improve unless a manager with reasonable knowledge of the game is given time to put structures in place... I know its a cliché, but these people in the media and at this online football betting site are putting the pressure on Chairmen and club owners to sack managers without thinking about long term managers. It angers me intensely reading the kind of stuff i saw on sporting index this morning! Read it for yourself and let me know what you think...
