cause they have tried their best to get him to sign a contract and he wouldnt as he wants to move on. Simple really if he was being let go for no reason, or being sold off then i would join you I think Dan is implying he is a mercenary bastard Well to be fair he has a point. He was offered £25,000, the best the wage structure at Reading can allow, and turned it down for more money elsewhere primarily. Don't have much of a problem with that really but I'm not going to kid mysely that he is joining for fame and footballing reasons.

Go Oliver!! That IS NOT Oliver. It is Gibbo. There are two separate articles that run into each other due to shoddy formatting. It should be fairly easy to spot where the absolute toss turns into something substantially more sensible.

Fixed that for you.

I think he said that he wouldn't leave if the weather stayed like this (must have been a sunny day), but it was tongue in cheek obviously. Anyhoo Newcastle is the second driest city in the country rain wise so there you go. Can't defend us on the long ball comment though tbf.

It was the first time Portsmouth had ever played the back 4 deployed against us together. Still won though didn't they. Besides, on numerous occasions Roder has had the opportunity to stick with settled combinations but has voluntarily changed things to accommodate his favourites. No sympathy I'm afraid, sorry.

How does he do that? EVERY single NUFC forum brought to it's proverbial knees by Shepherd's number one fanboy himself. He never gets bored of defending Shepherd, wonder if another forum means a bonus? Fair play to the lad. Multiple forums and an in depth knowledge of the copy and paste shortcuts could well be enough for a Number 1 St. James' Park suite all to himself. He's like an inalienable force of the galaxy. It's quite cool really. Yup. It's always good to have constants in life. Makes you feel safe.

Nice random thought there then. Like Shay Given you mean? Indeed.

From all reports I've read and first hand reports I've heard, he is a cracking lad. The most accommodating, genuine, and generous member of the squad in recent years tbh.

perhaps Roeder could already see he was turning into a precious cunt, and was trying to inspire some loyalty in him? really is laughable when people think they know a player from what they see for 90 minutes every other week, when the manager sees every aspect of his life No, people are just being cautious to jump on a promising players back. What really is laughable is when contrary idiots have a go at others, while spouting off utterly offensive bullshit based on nothing more than the musings of Oliver and his sock puppet/club insider.

Or Louis Saha Or Bellamy.

It's just too easy for Oliver. Hook, line, and sinker. Wonder who will be next to jump ship.

Intertrans gave me this - 'Redimio vestri per felicis quod gauisus'. Any old boys from Dame Allens or RGS fancy a crack.

yes but mr roeder we dont feel happy or positive at the minute Or particularly lucky really. I think our club motto is something like 'Strength Through Defence' which hasn't been very appropriate in recent years, so maybe we need a change. What is 'Surround yourself with the lucky and the happy' in Latin?

Remove these negative people! Take them away from me; I can't stand negativity. Surround yourself with the lucky and the happy - that's my motto. blueyes.gif

Explain?

Certainly my dad and uncle both had less animosity towards other local clubs than you see nowadays. It was more of a case that it would be great to see all North East teams do well. Having pride in the region rather than just the city.

I did, given that he's been parp every time he's ever played in the centre for us. But hey, don't let that worry you chaps. im sure he claims hes a centre mid too... cant remember why but its etched in the brain somewhere. And Dyer claims that he is best up front, but I'm not sure I would agree with him tbh.

7 points. Blackburn and Watford wins, and a draw against Reading.

Been reading my posts obviously.

Cracker from Butt - "It was a hot day, but we aren't using that as an excuse." :lol:

"The suggestion that we should have done better this season is rubbish," Roeder said. "We've done everything we can but there's other teams who haven't had injuries this year. Please don't write that as an excuse." Yeah even people not connected with the club are finding his bollocks wearing thin. Another fairly scathing review can also be found in the Independant - http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/premiership/article2452402.ece :-[

I thought Robson had loads of injuries, I thought Duncan Ferguson was lying next to Marcelino for most of the first season Robson was at the club. I seem to remember quite a few without going looking for names. Dabizas missed around 6 months, Cort about 7 months, Shearer around 3 months, Dyer around the same off the top of my head. we never went into games with 6 or 7 first teamers out week after week. had owen only been out 3 months where do you think we'd be. i see the situations as being similar You could say the same about Owen under Souness though and where we'd have been had he only missed 3 months. i do actually wonder "what if" with souness and all the injuries we had. Your optimism regarding shit managers knows no bounds. That you can feel the same about this season under Roeder as Robsons first is just staggering. Where the hell do you get your faith in Glenn from exactly?

2 year with a 1 year rolling auto extension tbf.
