Roy Keane - new assistant manager (CONFIRMED)

[fbriai]

He's going up in my estimation all the time as well. The way he ignored Mourinho on the weekend was superb.

I get the feeling that both he and Lambert are having a really good laugh working together.

ultimately we need results and while it's clear he has an impact both on and off the pitch as a team they will be judged on it. We started to see positive glimpses of it prior to Arsenal. Hopefully before too long we can have another positive result and push on again.

At least he has brought a bit of much-needed fun to this season - it has been so dour for 4 years...

Ha ha, I bet that's the first time Keane and fun have been used in the same sentence

I think that is spot on.

The last four years have been like a 48 month visit to the dentist. Finally, a bit of amusement.

Mind you the fact he even considered signing the big twat is a bit concerning

Made me smile.

That's excellent.

Now I've been thinking, we have had some great famous beards at Villa Park and I reckon Roy is paying homage to these past greats.
