Angry Fans

For the second week our Angry Fans in Ireland’s best football forum want to talk about the return of “King Kev”; then there’s bafflement over why Man United want to play in Saudi Arabia before a segregated crowd; observations on Alex Ferguson celebratory gestures at Reading supporters; the great internal debate about which form of leveraged finance would be best to secure Liverpool’s history continues and an Everton fan starts to get all uppity about their chances on getting to Wembley.

For theatre fans there’s a King Lear reference and a shout for Spurs to sign a Premier League winning midfielder.

Letter of the week goes to Noel Keating of Dublin for his rant about . . . well, just about everything. Let’s have an address Noel and this week’s prize will be put in the post tout suite.

OH, so Newcastle fans welcome back "the king" . . . I mean come on! A lot of people will know that watching scenes of Newcastle fans jumping up and down outside St. James's Park saying: "This is it, we have our man" is a case of same old same old. Fast forward 12 - 18 months and they'll all be booing him and probably chanting for another "king" to return. Hopefully it’s Elvis, cause no football manager is going to have a hope of turning these impatient, idiotic, fantasist fans around. Another typical response by a repetitively predictable Newcastle boardroom of dealing with things sentimentally, as opposed to sensibly. And it’s all down to pleasing fans who take their tops off in rain and snow. And I thought the Cork City board was annoying . . .
