Yes, you put 'effect' instead of 'affect'.

On Football Focus last sat when he had his first interview as Newc manager he swore live on air - should have been a sign of things to come really.

 

Is hilarious to read - anyone found it so you can listen to it? Heard a little bit on radio earlier but they had to stop it because the 'bleep' machine broke.

I think this job is going to finish him off, didnt he have to quit forest over his dodgy ticker?

Not sure if it was forrest but certainly was somewhere.

guardian one goes on a bit longer than the mirror, at which point it gets funnier, kinnear's got no idea, sounds like the perfect man to take newcastle down:

JK I'll speak to the supporters. I'm going to tell them what the story is. I'm going to tell them. I don't think they'll interpret it any different, I don't think they'll mix it up, I don't think they'll miss out things. I mean, one of them last week said to me ... I was talking about in that press conference where you were there, I said something like "Well, that's a load of bollocks ..."

 

Journalist "Bollocks to that" is what you said.

 

JK Bollocks to that. And what goes after that?

 

Journalist That was it.

 

JK No it wasn't, no it wasn't. What was after it? I don't know if it was your paper, but what went after it?

 

Journalist I don't know.

 

JK It even had the cheek to say "bollocks to Newcastle".

 

Journalist I didn't write that.

 

JK That was my first ragging day. What does that tell you? What does that tell you?

 

Journalist Where was that? Which paper said that?

 

JK I've got it. I can't remember. It was one of the Sundays, not a Saturday. It was a Sunday.

 

Journalist But you didn't say that to the Sundays, you said that to us. That was during the Monday press conference.

 

JK I'll bring it in and show it to you. Why would I want to say that?

 

Journalist Are you saying that someone has reported you saying "bollocks to Newcastle?"

 

JK Yes. Lovely.

 

Journalist I don't know who's reported that.

 

JK I'll tell you what, I'll bring it in.

 

Journalist That's obviously going to damage you. That's not a good thing. But I don't think someone's done that. We have to have some sort of relationship with you.

 

JK So have I. But I haven't come in here for you lot to take the piss out of me. And if I'm not flavour of the month for you, it don't ragging bother me. I've got a job to do. And I'm going to do it to the best of my ability. I'm not going to spend any more time listening to any crap or reading any crap. Stick to the truth and the facts. And don't twist anything.

 

Journalist You know, you know the game ...

 

JK Of course I know, but I don't have to like it.

 

Journalist Today we'll print the absolute truth, that you think we're cunts, we can all fcuk off and we're slimy. Is that fair enough?

 

JK Do it. Fine. ragging print it. Am I going to worry about it? Put in also that it'll be the last time I see you. Put that in as well. Good. Do it.

 

Much, much later after long discussions over whether Kinnear had promised Alan Shearer and Kevin Keegan would be returning to the club

 

Press officer Let's get on to football. Let's have an agreement that everything said so far, if anyone has got their tapes on, it's wiped off and we're not discussing it.

 

Journalist But that's what Joe has said he thinks of us.

 

Press officer I'm saying don't push it. Let's accept what's been said and try and move on.

 

Journalist: Move on to not doing any more press conferences?

 

PO: No, to doing something now.

 

Journalist: What, one press conference only?

 

(Silence)

 

Journalist: Any knocks?

 

PO: Come on, let's go football.

 

Journalist: What are your plans for training in the next three days? How's the training going?

 

JK It's going very well. No problems at all.

 

Journalist Enjoyed getting back in the swing of things?

 

JK Absolutely. I've loved every moment of it.

Imagine being a player at Newcastle and reading that! Doesnt exactly sound like a man in control :rofl:

lunatic in charge at the asylum. god knows what the likes of michael owen are making of all this.

i almost feel sorry for the geordies :rofl: :rofl:

You see, I think swearing is big and clever. If it makes me a bad person, then so be it!
