harry palmer i was the "urrr urrrr" and "ding ding" during his double deckers theme in peterborough,promotion season Great days. Also liked Freddy the dolphin one. Many away games coming back on the bus singing them, brings back some memories.

Oh when the beans, come out the tin. Oh when the beans come out the tin, I wanna be beside that toaster, Oh when the beans come out the tin.

Doesn't he have an £86m release clause? Would explain the lack of cash thrown about by them this season. Fuck knows Apparently Roman has "fallen in love" with Chelsea.....erm....again You just simply couldn't make it up. Maybe Ashley in a toon top has ignited a passion inside him again. Roman to top him with his own squad number and to play Right back next home match. Who knows what goes on in that crazy Russians head

This is like hearing the news Saddam Hussian has been hung by the neck until death.

Really doesn't care about the football anymore. There is no rescuing a player like him, he has to do it himself, i just don't think he's got it in him, and if he doesn't do it fast, his career has been blown on fast women, faster cars, late nights, strong alcohol and bad food. He treats being a footballer like we'd treat winning the lottery. A thought has passed maybe removing him from his comfort zone and familiar surroundings could help him, but he'd manage to find a party at the North pole, and if he turned up and one wasn't happening, he'd fly in the booze and girls himself through his people. One or two more years coasting and he's finished for good.

Its fuk BTW

I would be totally delighted. I think personally we'll end up with Faye & a RB, or possibly just Faye. I cant see us selling Martins in time for the window to close. All we'd have to do is mess about for a couple of days until the window slams shut.

Obviously not adapting too well or he'd know its a pint were after not an ice cream

I don't think anyone is giving him a hard time. Just pointing out that he's got plenty of good points but the glaring weaknesses will need to be eliminated from his game before the likes of Liverpool come calling. The goal he was at fault for yesterday was similar to the one on his debut under Bobby Robson. A bit disturbing to see he hasn't sorted that out yet tbh. I saw Rio run with the ball into the mid trying a couple of tricks and losing possession putting his team under pressure while he's just been passed out of the equation at the back. Done it at West Ham, done it at Leeds, done it for England, still doing it now at nearly 30. Quite worrying he hasn't sorted it out in the 10+ years he's been a professional footballer at the top level. The two situations are hardly the same though. One is about a defender trying to play the ball out of defence, the other is failing at basic marking and defending against a striker. I've seen Terry, King, Campbell, Rio, Nesta, Cannavaro all not pick up markers, all failing to clear balls, fail to do their job at corners, switch off, slip up, play a dodgy pass, score an own goal, generally make mistakes that cost games. Taylor is as heavily scrutinised by his own fans than probably any other defender going right now, i just thank the gods the press have left him alone and develop at his own rate. I was worried in the summer with him getting a few headlines, but it looks like Richards will take those from now on, and Taylor can keep growing without the spotlight shining in his face.

He is nowhere even close to the level those lads were at when aged 21. He lacks the pace Rio had to get him out of trouble, and the brute strength that Terry had to bully strikers with, but both made as many mistake at that age, and thats the main criticism the lad gets right now. He will get stronger and he's as fast as Terry, but he's got a lot of learning to do, it doesn't help being held back back having no good and experienced defenders to learn off or decent coaches or a competent manager. He isn't going to be in their league, I'm sorry to say. The bit in bold doesn't really hold water. Players who are exceptional will do it anyway. Gazza had Willie McFaul, Pat Heard and Andy Thomas to link up with. He became a very good footballer as I remember. OF course he can learn from better players but I just wish people would accept him for the player he is rather than trying to kid everyone he is better than that. He's worth perservering with. If he can get his ego under control and stop trying to do things he can't then he will be fine. I think he'll get close, i think Richards is the new Rio type player, and Taylor could possibly emulate Terry to an extent, but he has a long way to go and must keep focused. Thing is with Gazza or players like that, the skill is natural, its all the other bits of the game they must learn to make it and that comes from just playing. With defending its a lot more to do with experience and coaching. You cannot teach what Gazza had but you can teach what Terry has to someone who's willing to learn and of decent intelligence. I think Taylor has enough footballing intelligence to get it right, as good as Terry, his strength will increase, unfortunately his pace will decrease as he gets bigger and older, but he's no slouch, its just not an asset, if it was he'd be able to get himself out of a few holes he or his fellow defenders have dug him into over the past few seasons. Taylor just wants to be the hero the crowd loves, and every NUFC fan playing for Newcastle would want to be. Upfront that looks like desire and passion, at the back it looks like rashness and stupidity, he will get it right in the end.

He is nowhere even close to the level those lads were at when aged 21.

He will get stronger and he's as fast as Terry, but he's got a lot of learning to do, it doesn't help being held back back having no good and experienced defenders to learn off or decent coaches or a competent manager. I disagree, he has more than enough brute strength, he just hasn't developed enough positional nous yet. He's not going to be bullied, but he will get out-witted by clever strikers at this stage. Its true, but again thats down to who he has to learn off.

Peter Crouch, Jermaine Pennant, David Martin, Paul Anderson. Wow 2 1st teamers in how many transfers and how many years!

Rafa buying English players as well. It just doesn't add up.

Welcome back Yorkie.

Liverpool had a £5m bid/inquiry knocked back before he even played a game for Newcastle. The fee now would have to be beyond £15m, i doubt Liverpool have that kind of cash lying about to throw at a young defender. Sounds a crazy fee, but if Davies is worth £10m, then we should be looking at double that due to our EPL status, him being home grown and also being a better talent now, and a bigger potential. He has his faults, but its quite clear he'll be a class act for many years to come, selling him would be a travesty, i don't think the club will ever do it unless his potential hits a brick wall like Aaron Hughes.

It really does force the club to address the RB situation which i think they had every intention to allow it to roll over to the next window, possibly further.

Probably win this one on pens if were lucky. 433 is great!

He's totally babbling on right now.

If we don't change the formation from 433 then we've no chance of beaten anyone else again this season.

You are THAT hard I am thinking of cancelling my internet connection mackems.gif

Minor. His arm was up far too slow to save the shot, deflected or not.
