    If Postecoglou ever praises Kennedy it's gonna send some folk in here 'round the twist. (That one is for all you 90's teens).

    I disagree with that but I’m aware I’m biased because I hate the *.

    Based on what? There’s no tangible evidence from a background coach, he himself hasn’t won or done anything. It’s all anecdotal and sound bites.

    Lol.

    For me, Gordon was actually the better shot-stopper between he and Forster, especially reflex-wise. Forster edged it as better GK all round, he could actually save penalties!

    What? Clearly you don't remember the way Forster couldn't do basics and was getting slated for how he was useless when he first arrived. If he hadn't come to us, or someone similar, he'd have disappeared into obscurity. We definitely made him what he became, although fair * to him too because he must have worked damned hard to improve the way he did. Newcastle * up with the 2nd loan when they included the option to buy, because it was very quickly obvious we were turning him around.

    Don't listen to him, you're right... Gordon's a * :56:

    I never said I don't want him. I was arguing he wasn't forced upon the manager. He had his own choice. Even when winning the game folk just sat bashing him. All because he stood in when lennon * off. Who gives a *. He's coached us through the majority of our success. I'm just saying give it a break.

    As a background coach he’s been part of a succesful team is all I’m saying. And we get comments like this every so often from the guys praising him.

    I don’t get coached by him so I generally just take the word of the guys getting coached by him instead of making up scenarios.

    Seen plenty beat him at his near post. Even * Manuel Neuer got beat at his near.

    You're letting your hatred blind you...

    My scenario isn’t made up, he was part of the coaching staff last season and was the actual manager so that’s the tangible evidence I’m using to suggest he needs to move on. For him and for the club.

    Not just at you mate.

    I think being a manager and a coach is a very different thing as well.

    Seen far too many go by him as well, was a glaring weakness.

    He saves penalties and wins cups. Best keeper since boruc. Probably better but I liked how mad he was so personality notches him above.

    Listen, I'm not coming from an angle of getting into a "who was better", simply bringing up GK success we've had thus far under Stevie Woods
