definitely mate he has done a fantastic job in the state he finds his resources in i dont like him as a bloke but you can only praise what he is doing at the moment tonight at chelsea you will see a team at its roots but he will still go for the victory and play with passion that is what i call a true manager I hope I'm due a whoosh. bluebiggrin.gif Going for the victory and playing with passion has been missing from by far the majority of games in the league this season, and (while willing) I havn't been persuaded that Roeder defines the term 'true manager' quite yet either.

We accept you, one of us! Geordie Geordie! /obscure?

One of the few thing I can muster up the effort to reply to. Agreed.

All Roeder would say today was: "Seppe Rossi was at a funeral for our last Premiership game and, of course, Manchester United did not want him playing for us in Europe. But he is available again tomorrow and I am delighted that he is - and he should play some part for us." I'm sure Furguson will be delighted.

I played on with Damaged ankle ligaments for about 20 minutes and have been out for the last 5 weeks. And how is that comparable to a cut?

Eh, if they were told all this when they were "with owen this summer", how the Devil did he foresee the Pearce effect back then? He's a decent footballer like, but...

I reckon he thinks he's Arnie tbh. Have you seen his hair? I bet he wears a black biker jacket and jeans when he's off duty. Slicks back his stack with freshly squeezed gorrilla glands and probably scares the crap out of Terry Mac... which is no bad thing to be fair.

Not big. Not clever.

Fair play to Pearson if true. Looks a right grumpy bugger (considering the opportunity he now has after his last few clubs) but considering the personel and the little time he has had to work with them we look a much more solid unit these days.

But.. but... Roeder's one decent quality is that he is a good coach right. bluewink.gif

"Certainly reports saying that we are offering James Milner and Stephen Carr in part-exchange for Bent are not correct, because both these players are very much in my plans." Twat. " ...no decision has been made on any player we will be trying to bring to St James' Park" Good to hear. Best not to rush these things. :roll:

It's not big, and it's not clever.

I know, I'm still waiting for Shepherd's apology n' all. Zing! /was just backing his manager and thus absolved from all responsibility.

Shhh man, he is suposed to be undercover so that they won't realise we are interested in the player when we errr... start negotiations. bluedead.gif

Yet another touchline bollock dropped with Taylor last night. Get on that course Glenn and learn some sodding basics.

Anyone else get the image of some oaf pawing at coins with his knuckles. Brilliant. bluebiggrin.gif

Find your what in the where now? blink.gif

Just for arguements sake, If Luque were to get the run of games that a big summer signing such as Martins gets, do you not think as a player with a certain degree of skill he could at some level start to adapt? I'm only asking purely hypothetically, as he has not started a single game in the league this season under the new manager, nevermind being given a run of games to build up his confidence and fitness. Roeder has stated in the last week or so that he has been professional in training and one assumes that means working hard, and his attitude in interviews has until very recently been a frustration at not getting the games to bring him into the swing of things, being able to show his worth to the team and supporters, or indeed to his national coach. But while it is easy to dismiss him on past efforts, I'm willing to accept he can change games with a good ball or a goal and in his own way he has shown effort, even tracking back substantially more effectively than say Robert might have done in the past. Now that, Dyer and Martins, and hopfully the Zog are pushing on then hopefully we don't need him, but can you understand the remarkably vitriolic utterings from people who could not accept him as an option when we were stuck in the slump? That's what gets me. The fact that some folks cannot even contemplate him as an option, much the same way Viana, Bellamy, and Robert were scapegoated even when it was clear that at times we could have used them to far better effect rather than getting all emotional about it. Duff has also shown that he can be a top player. As a Roeder signing Im sure he will be given time to get back into the groove (hopefully not to the detriment of N'Zogbia), and while it may be overly hopeful, for me it has seemed a bit of a waste for Luque not to have been given a similar opportunity.

Really great to see some attacking football. Hats off to the lot of them, I hope they can build on this. blueyes.gif

Madness. For me on a shitty fans/club criteria out of that lot, Everton, always Everton... and City... and Tottingham, Boro, Arsenal, Liverpool, West Ham etc. etc.

Presumably went to some kind of hairdressers. Arf.

Impressive under the onslaught to see a post that doesn't sink down to the level of calling people mongs and cretins. Honestly, the way some seem to get worked up over others wishing to to at least see the manager aknowledge Luque as a possible alternative to a crippled Shola and a misfiring Duff during our bad run (and at least try to shake up a midfield and attack scoring sod all) is a touch bizarre. It's almost worth voting in these polls solely to see if Gemmill's head explodes with the frustration.

Heh, I wish I kept some of my old sticker books (slightly earlier days and I'm not sure it was all down to a love of the club or civic pride back then. Hell, I bought some Wolves wristbands as a kid cos I thought they looked cool )

Sorry, I was a bit over the top on the swears (beers). The sentiment remains if only I could sodding remember what I said. :grin:

I got the impression that we were after a target man in the summer. Nothing surprises me about Roeders fuckups/retarded lies/Sibierski.
