Agreed and a good post there, mate. All of this is pretty obvious to anyone not inclined to want to see where his shit comes from, just so they can kiss his arse. :roll: The club is more important than any player, or should be. The mistake is that for a time it wasn't the case at Newcastle. It seems to me that Fred really is a fan, the problem is that he's like one of those idiotic one's, who just want to worship a "big number 9" and who probably want us to win the FA Cup ahead of the League title, as Shearer often claims Geordie's do. There is no room for sentiment. No room at all and he stayed for 2 seasons too long. I also have no interest in a hero, I just want a team that wins things, that wins the league. You don't do that by putting an individual before the club and it happened here.

I reckon the main reason for our improvement is Parker finally getting out of the first team picture, It'll be interesting to see how we do when he gets back in. Shola or Sibierski? Neither are good enough. All true.

Agreed. The priority is the same as it was last summer. A striker.

Aye

The bit in bold is fact, the bit not in bold is opinion. Chelsea may be minted but they don't want to let players go for nothing. It's quite possible that Mourinho told Bridge he will let him go should a club come in for him during the january window. Mine is just speculation, however should Bridge have got a pay rise when he signed it would add substance to my guess. This being clearly the most likely scenario, given the competition for places at Chelsea.

You may be right, mate, but at least he's got something to fizzle out from.

I don't understand any of that decent, well thought out post. Not surprised. You're at 'uni' and we all know standards are crap nowadays...

Aye, I'm agreeing with you too much today mate, but it has to be said that I've never seen anyone play for Newcastle who commits as many fouls as the donkey manages to do.

Aye. What a shite chairman, eh? Aye, total disgrace. He'll probably have the neck to go by plane anarl, rather than by National Express to save a few bob like. That could obviously make the difference between relegation and winning the league.

Oh, and yes, if he used a comma (,) instead of a fullstop (.) then yes you'd have a point, suggesting otherwise is a bit silly. Boring, tbh. Aren't you tbh. thompers is making you look an arse, man. Give up before it gets really bad and becomes a classic.

Oh, and yes, if he used a comma (,) instead of a fullstop (.) then yes you'd have a point, suggesting otherwise is a bit silly. He's perfectly entitled to use a full stop in that scenario and still elaborate on the previous sentence, which I'm 100% sure, if you ask him, is what he did. You're making yourself look a tit here mate Look, I used a full stop and am still on the same subject!

Couldnt agree more, If Roeder picks Parker over Butt i will lose respect for the bloke. Butt has been outstanding. Agreed. He's made a rod though by making a poor player the team captain.

He seems like a blatant WUM to me, cant think how anyone would have any other opinion tbh. "Expected alot from this young lad. But just another Peter Ramage, Steven Taylor. Big Tackler but lack of composure on the ball. GAve the ball away one to many times. But we'll wait and see." He's played twice, expectations ruined after 180mins of watching him live. :roll: If he becomes another Steven Taylor then were laughing FFS. Defenders aren't known for their composure on the ball, more to do with their positioning off it. Most players come though out of position, especially CBs. Taylor & Ramage did here, Bramble did at Ipswich, Carragher did at Liverpool for years! Then he has a crack at Given FFS, this guy is a WUM, or fuking stupid. Wum? Think so. "But we'll wait and see" indicates that he's not a WUM and that he's simply putting his first impression across and is showing a willingness to keep an open mind and see if he's proved right or wrong. WUM-like behaviour? Erm, no. He then puts across a point about Shay's distribution. Which IS poor. It's NOT a lie or any kind of bullshit. He even makes a point in saying that it's the only flaw in his game. WUM-like behaviour? No, just an opinion he has. Certainly a WUM, and has done a good job on you thinking he isn't one, or your doing a good job Wummin' the mods to death in this thread Yet you can't point out any of the attributes that make him a WUM and have pointed out things that are actually just a difference in opinion. Its just a difference of opinion that you dont see him as a wum, and the rest of the board do. I've pointed out why i think he is, especially the Taylor comment, its just plain stupid. Nowhere near as stupid as when someone says the Board of today is no different to Boards of the past. But I guess thompers is probably right and it depends on what certain people agree with.....

Hate? Who are you talking about there like? I think from some of his comments in the past Crumpy certainly dislikes him, 3-1 NYD obviously has some sort of agenda the way he seems to have pounced at the first opportunity and I have been shocked in the past at some of the comments directed at him and cheap shots! Fair enough. I doubt it's hate though, just a realisation that he was holding the club back for probably the last 2 years. The club comes first, mate. Even in those 2 seasons he was better than Shola. Is it for some reason acceptable to be shit, but unacceptable to be shit if you used to be good? Err aye, I agree he was better than Ameoba. He's still better than Ameoba. Your point?

The thread is about Butt, not your hero.

I didn't rate him when he was here before, it's nowt to do with how he left. I still don't rate him.

Distin? FFS.

So abuse is fine if you think the person it's aimed at deserves it? That's a new one. So despite indigo admitting he was harsh in banning me for posting a youtube link, do you not therefore think my abuse towards him was justified and the subsequent ban unjustified? No it isn't.

Consistent high quality performances ultimately win games. I doubt Ameoba will score more anyway, but even if he did his general play is so shite he holds the team back.

The worst injury list in years. Taking over when morale had to be in the depths after a period with the worst manager in living memory. 3 points behind the fantastic Martin O'Neill. Roeder wouldn't have been my choice and I still have reservations in the long term. But he's doing ok and hasn't been shown to be shit at all.

Agreed. Although I can't be arsed to vote.

Another manager being backed by the Board. Well done, Fred.
