Eh? Since when have NUFC done that? We've signed a few big money defenders, but they've been f****** rubbish, apart from the obvious in Woodgate. For too long we've got by on cheap s**** who can 'do a job' when most of the time they actually can't, to the required level anyway - AO'B, Carr, Babayaro, Moore, Griffin, Hughes et al. Ramage is never going to be solid and dependable because he just doesn't have the ability in the Premiership. League 1 player if he's lucky. marcelinho,bramble,goma,boumsong cheap ? we have always been cheap for full backs however. which are probably at the moment the most important players in football

Solano was outstanding today. Its criminal how underrated he has been over his career imo. Would imagine a 26 year old Solano would be worth a pretty penny these days! very poor season and a half before he went to villa and often suspect away. he is underated though,in the right team (could have built onthe ljungberg role at arsenal,with more vision and better distribution)coulsd have been a national star instead of a local one.

He's much worse than Bramble. Yep, Bramble actually had ability just not the brain to use it. Like the worlds most powerful PC without a monitor. he even had the brain.......but it overheated too often

It's not a question of "judgement". It's a question of preference. Take a risk with Ashley? Blunder further down the road to oblivion with Shepherd? (This may help: http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/preference) coming from a person who backed Souness until the day he was sacked ? Still think we were on course for success with him as manager ? And your idol Tina Arsprilla, who scored 2 goals in a season ? You don't have much of a success rate with taking risks do you mackems.gif but he made his choices when they were offered. i prefer his stance to yours,i'd rather make the wrong choice known that hide behind excuses.

if he does go to west ham it will be weird as the best way for dyer to play is the position of freddie ljungberg,a wide midfielder not expectedc to hit the by line and cross like a winger..................who has just left arsenal,now where did he go ?

thats an idea...........if he does requests it could be worth watching.

weird,i thought it was some horrid humiliation of some poor wino type

I would like to think Heinze is also a target for Allardyce, it would be a bit of a gamble because of his form since injury but I'd take the chance on him, I'd rather him than Riise. don't think heinze would come here,but hyppia would and riise might if heinze takes over at left back

i personally think he could be waiting for the heinze situation to resolve itself before bidding for hyppia or riise.....yes i realise we need more defenders that just one of those two

i reckon barnes would like to give derby one season in the prem before leaving Probably right but you never know. I am sure £6m could be tempting for them aswell, 2-3 decents players instead of one really good one could make a lot of difference. also derby have the chance of him turning in some decent performances and his price rocketing.

hang on...panic stations..................if they try to throw ferdinand in >

nowt said on the radio about it,tell the truth it was only the full time round up.

imagine how fucked he was when he scored past the mackems ?

couldn't you just have caught her with her tits oot in stanley or south shields or durham or consett or bedlington or hexham or tynemouth or .......well pick a post code really.

security is alaways more lax for friendlies/intertoto type games

surely doesn't count if he's not deliberatly fishing ?

kev..i didn't go tonight cos friendlies are a fucking waste of time,supporter wise,but handy for the manager.the result means sod all and good performances often flatter to deceive against opponents who are doing a glorified stretching exercise,fair enough?,now do stop being an uppity cock ?

taylor will turn out not to be injured,it's allardyce's plan to hurry up mort into bringing in defenders,thats how harper was wearing an outfield top,it was all set up. surprised at celtic mind (going off reports,i wasn't there),as they normally give it the full howk against english teams.

ne5 said i would say in that circumstance i got it wrong after making a choice,instead of wriggling out of it due to vanity.

can only use sofar before the game and so long after the match aswell,something like 2 hrs before and 2 after i think.

from fifa itself.......... so he was given special dispensation by fifa,ie allowed to break the rule.

i believe the rule was brought in to stop clubs taking someone on a free then selling them a couple of months later to just make a profit.the clubs complained so it got wtaered down .

aye,which he still broke.

is this the saddest thing of today ?
