I would only prepare to sell him if Dyer is back in the team for a few games and looks as if his injuries have gone. Emre is the only player we have who is remotely creative in centre midfield unless you play Zog there but that doesnt suit him. Saying that £8m is big money for him and more than he is worth so I wouldnt blame us getting rid.

Anybody see Roeders comments before the Pompey cup game when he said something along the lines of 'Its no surprise Sol is doing well there, I expected it' That annoyed me when I see the likes of Shambles and Rampage in our back four.

TBH a win and i seriously think half the people will forget and think we have turned the corner etc even though we have some tough premier games coming up!

We wont get Barca as they will win their 2 remaining games and finish 2nd/1st and we wont get Arsenal as we cant get another English club yet. IF we did finish 2nd the main threats from champions league drop outs would be Porto/Lisbon/Olympiakos

I found it rather amusing when Richard Keys asked Souness if Arsenals indifferent home form was due to them moving to a new stadium....in which he replied 'Arsenal can have no excuses about a new stadium or anything else for that matter, the 11 on the pitch should be winning' Errr You were the excuse king you hypocrite!!

Cant be much good if they were released by Bolton and only Brum took an interest, but they would have been better bets then Bernard. The real free transfers we missed are now playing for Portsmouth and Middlesbrough

Look at that compilation and tell me I'm nit picking. He's ****ing horrendous. Yet our best bet for scoring goals at the moment. I don't know how you can continue to argue against that point! And that is why we are in desperate relegation trouble and one of the lowest scorers in the league because he is/was our main threat! The guy is no better than chopra was IMO Chopra is being amazingly overhyped at the moment! Probably by the same people who turned their noses up at Earnshaw who I bet will finish the season outscorer Rocky "Pele" Chopra! I'm certainly not over hyping, he was clearly not good enough but neither is Shola. I wouldnt mind Earnshaw at this moment in time actually. Its amazing how far back we have gone in 2 years in the striker department where its got to the points Sibierski is badly missed when he was injured last week bluesigh.gif

Expect Luque to be isolated up top with no service and Roeder saying 'well i gave him his chance, he just didnt have the heart' etc.

Don't know about anyone else but I always support English/Scottish teams in Europe, logically being a Newcastle fan there's a few problems there (increased revenue for "rivals", etc.) but at the same time there are a few positives as well (improves the reputation of the PL, means more games for our "rivals".) Anyway, I can't fully explain it but it'll be a rare day when I support a foreign team over a home team, especially a team like Barcelona - or any Spanish/Portuguese/Italian/Turkish team for that matter. Don't mind the Dutch, French or the German teams at all, though, I've just been soured by our own excursions in Europe against the "clever" nations and by England's failings in tournaments due to questionable conduct. Surely you didnt want the beasts to win the UEFA cup final last season?!!?

Long shot i know but i would like Luque to start see if he can bring some of his Deportivo form I dont think we have much to lose in playing him.

Hey fillipo you will be playing NUFC at a very good time as we are in a real mess and have not sent over some our important players to Italy so we can keep them for an important league match on Saturday. I am expecting 2-0 or 3-0 Palermo victory

Am i allowed to ask if Luque is in the squad or will I get my head bitten off for even suggesting he should be anywhere near our first team

Barca will still finish 2nd if they win their last 2 games though wont they??

2nd November - Palermo (a) LOSE 4th November - Sheffield United (h) WIN 7th November - CC4Watford (a) WIN 11th November - Man city (a) LOSE 18th November - Arsenal (a) LOSE 23rd November - Celta Vigo (h) WIN 26th November - Portsmouth (h) DRAW 30th November - Frankfurt (a) DRAW

you should have bought the Freddy Shepherd calender! http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Football/Pix/gallery/2005/09/07/gallery11.jpg

Based on what? Youtube, where Neil Mellor and Lee Trundle are kings. PS - Every shot i've seen Luque hit on there goes in. 100% goal/shot accuracy! I take it you never watch Spanish football?

Sven would be a good replacement but the only worry with getting him is he will probably be on astronomical wages and knowing Fred he will offer him a 5 year contract. In 2 years if it is going tits up then we'll end up having to buy out his contract for millions

me....arnt i stupid! I bet you thought we'd score against Charlton too didn't you

I would never take anyone serious who has ginger hair... http://www1.talksport.net/images/presenters/4/8/9/99984/adriandurham.jpg

This season has just gone from bad to worse and is now a complete and utter CRISIS as far as I am concerned. We are now going to have nobody in the team who will score regular goals in the team until January so we are well and truely in a relegation battle now. Absolute f**kin shambles this season has now become and does anyone have faith in us to score against Sheff Utd?

At last we will have a goalkeeper back who can catch the f**kin ball!

I was in favour of getting Allardyce as i thought he was the best man we could get. I had MON 2nd on my prefered options and if we could not get him then i would have been happy with Roeder because of the job he had done to get us into europe (not counting Hitzfeld and the other dutch bloke whose name escapes me as they were never really an option) So if we were turned down by SA and MON then Roeder was my choice as well but i reckon with more effort the fat man could have gotten one of the 2 i mentioned

How long is Shola out for then? 6 Months?

Yeah, it's not good. But we aren't as bad as our position in the league. Under Souness we most definately were. the league table doesn't lie. you can make all the chances in the world but if you can't score and can't defend then you're in the shite. We've scored 3 in 2 and conceded none. So we can evidently do both. Basically it is just the portsmouth reserves game which makes the stats look as they are, as we didnt score against Charlton
