Glad that I entertain you When wanting a player I don't necessary think the player must be better than our current one. Potential and need of cover weigh a lot in my calculation. And yet I'd put money on that you've never seen some of those players play. Avinel for example hasn't got a squad number, he's played one first team game in his life, for a French second division side, and none for Watford. But you'd snap him up. Makes you wonder why these clubs are all going down with such a long list of stars.

:lol: Delima man, you never fail to crack me up.

Our scouting system is non-existant, let's face it, which is why we tend to get linked with the middle-of-the-road Premiership players, even those who are good players, ones like Bridge, Barton, Upson, Distin, SWP, Ashton, Defoe etc etc. None were cheap but why can't we find players like Evra, Heinze and Vidic? Looking to the Premiership will always double the value of the player, but we don't seem able to look abroad with any sort of consistency at all, happy to make do with looking at the "best" the Premiership has to offer, like our bids for Zat Knight and Huth last summer - whoopee.

Just confirmed "the station have decided to have only two Legends from now on. The show will have special guests occasionally and Eric will still pop in from time to time." Fucking shite. Eric is the life of that show, Bernie hasn't got enough in him to cancel out Malcolm's incredibly boring voice and personality.

Ah right. Random.

Who, Pools?

do you live there? My parents do.

Hartlepool. Thinking about going to the big game with Lincoln on Friday night.

Bloody hell, is this true? Gates is the only one even vaguely worth listening to on that show.

Loada shite. Let's weigh up my options: a) have to put up with gloating Scouse wankers coming on here giving it "6 times", glory-hunting Man Utd tossers getting to say "they" won the European Cup again, despite the fact "they" never go, the fucking yids winning a European trophy at the first recent attempt and having to listen to kingdawson and the knobs off GG, Boro winning the UEFA Cup and have to live with a Boro fan or Chelsea acquiring more glory-hunting knobs from their ill-gotten European Cup to add to the rest of their very expensive dodgy trophies AND as compensation, I get to spend £20 per round freezing my arse off watching NUFC play garbage football against garbage teams for about 37 rounds before getting knocked out by anyone vaguely decent. or b) they win nowt, same as us, and I get to stay at home. That's a tough one like. FFS.

Try now.

Have I missed something? http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?action=arcade;sa=highscore;game=723 He's not only beaten it, he's annihilated it, the utter utter bastard.

If I'd known then what I know now, I'd have booed the twat on and off the field.

Martins has just turned 22 ffs. At 22, Didier Drogba was still playing in the French equivalent of the Championship, Thierry Henry had arrived as a left wing flop at Juventus and couldn't score in his first ten games at Arsenal and Les Ferdinand was at Brentford on loan (without scoring). Why so many are so fast to write off our own players I have no idea, especially the ones who show they've actually got something, not just Martins either, 20 year old N'Zogbia (well past his sell by date tbh) is also a victim. Players do improve after 22 years of age, as amazing as that might sound to some people.

I'd say he was the exception at Newcastle rather than the rule.

Got there before me. This thread would probably have been "that boy Viana makes Scholesy look shite" and Ronaldo would have been booed, booted out and dumped on the "lazy foreigner" pile.

why is it the ridiculing of Titus gets worse when he plays well f****** pathetic Why is it whenever he has two or three games without making a massive rick, you come on and act like he's Baresi? to be honest, i come on and act like he's Baresi even when he's played s*** Fair point.

Absolutely not.

Think most people agree he does tbh. I'll give him today's though, every right to go down.

Not his fault tbh, just well played by Saha to get in his way. What else could he have done? Held on to the ball? As Andy Gray said, top class goalkeepers would hold that. andy gray talks bollocks he had kept 9 clean sheets in the league befor today Must have imagined him kicking the ball straight at our centre forward and leaving him with an open goal.

Seen driving off from Anfield in a car with the doors hanging off and the rest of the Liverpool squad in the back apparently.

What exactly could Roeder have done today to make you happy? It's not his fault his three wide players couldn't land one cross in the 6 yard box. Not just about today though is it? However I'd quite like to know why we're swinging cross after cross after cross towards two of the smallest, quickest strikers in the league. Meat and drink to defenders like Jonathan Woodgate.
