Roeder added: "Stephen Carr was very disappointed to get out-muscled for the second goal, but there can't be many more powerful players in the Premiership than Boupa Diop. The excuses just roll off for GR's gimp.

In disbelief GR picked him ahead of anyone who can actually defend. If Carr defense, GR is the one who picks him, and if GR cannot see how much of a liability he is when on the pitch, then GR needs to go along with him. Another reason why GR shouldn't be our manager past this season.

Anybody ever see him out and about who's willing to do some jail time for the greater good of the club? You think the fuker dares parade himself around Newcastle? Permenant resident in Sunderland i reckon.

I think its priority this season he breaks both of his legs.

Can't see him staying long, i just hope we triple our money, and i think we could if he keeps going like this. what worries me is the release clauses in his contract, he's bound to have them, if not we've done well.

Ah, but that's all coming back in, now. They could be considered trend-setters. Stand still long enough the world will catch up with you.

Like Boumsong to begin with I thought Boomshite was shaky against Yeading, and never recovered from there on.

Unless Portsmouth/Totenham/West Ham sign all our players we aint getting that much. £12M for Owen is unlikely for atleast another year and I doubt he could find a bigger club in England that wouldn't need a pay-cut(top 4 aint happening). Once again nobody is paying £6M for Kieron Dyer, West Ham maybe if they stay up. We Bought Emre and Parker for less than a combined fee of £9M. Have they done anything to increase their value? Our players get payed too much money for their ability and they know it. Newcastle is a good place to go for a mercenary. Somebody was always going to have a problems with the figures, my opinion vs your opinion vs other opinions until one is sold to be proven right. Always the same with players values. I did say as well Owen we've got for another season whether we like it or not. How much is an England player worth these days? £6m sounds ok for Dyer if he manages it to the end of the season, and as for Parker & Emre, these were the figures given before and during the window, i have nothing else to go off with these palyers.

I think he's had a reasonbly good game, but people are jumping on that one moment of poor composure that forced him into a foul that, had distance to goal been shorter, may have been viewed as denial of goal scoring opportunity and a send-off. Pretty typical - a solid game for 89 minutes and one or two frightening moments. typical bramble, fairly decent match with two moments of madness. simply can't afford to have someone in the team who makes huge errors in every match, regardless of how well their general play is. Exactly. Indigo, you make yourself look a bit daft defending him constantly imo. "Meaningless free kick" - If he doesn't foul Helguson, he's 1 on 1 with Harper having given the ball away. It's hardly an isolated incident from the useless twat either. Sorry, but no. What's daft is the sad sad sad need of nearly everyone on here to jump on the bandwagon and scapegoat particular players if things go wrong, regardless of whether or not it was anything at all to do with them. NOTHING that Bramble did today lead to us losing that game, we lost because of a stupid backpass from Nicky Butt and because Carr got raped all game and that's it. Sorry if that doesn't fit with what people want to believe but that's the truth. You lot can believe it or not, frankly I could give a shit really. You know what, I hope they do get rid of Bramble, because when we continue to be disorganised at the back, I'll have the satisfaction of knowing that I was right and you lot were clueless!! Anyway, bollocks to this, I'm off to watch the end of the rugby, see you later. No hard feelings? Its a lost cause indi. I gave up ages ago. I have even posted stats that proved we let in 9 goals in 13 games with Bramble in the team and 25 in the following 13 without. I asked what happened for the second goal and was told the Fulham player breezed past 3 of our players and THEN past Bramble but its not the first 3 players fault its Brambles. Without watching the game in person or on TV I will reserve judgement until later. I thought if we are to blame individuals it would be Butt and Carr. As for Wullie calling him a useless twat I can`t take that seriously coming from a skinny boy with glasses holding a cat. Is this a N-O epidemic or have you got the wrong person?

Done his calf, out injured for however long. Beaten as well. Goodbye West Ham, wasn't nice knowing you.

Tbh he would do a far better job than Carr, Ramage etc True.

Chopra was on the verge, he was coming good. He's an EPL player who needed games, and we didn't give them to him. He improved his application under GR, he was up for it at the end of the season, and thats now part of his game. He also has improved his strength and even though being small he's much more stocky now than before and not bullied about the place. We let him go at exactly the wrong time. He just wanted to know that he'd be up amongst consideration, but NUFC couldn't offer that, but could to Ameobi, which was his problem, he just wanted half as many chances as Shola had and he'd be happy. We've shot ourselves in the foot, especially because of this season, but hindsight is a wonderful thing, but still, there were enough reasons to hold on to him than just what injuries have piled up. He'd have been a revelation this season, i reckon there is another 20% in him when playing for us, the same for any toon fan.

So he's playing against Liverpool? Good, he'd gain more from that game than playing Mexico...again.

This. Found his level in the Championship; good luck to him. Aye exactly. I've seen 1 goal out of his hat trick, from outside the box was absolutely class. He was just a headless chicken for us, ran around doing nothing. all 3 were outside the box and class People need to see the hat-trick before judging and moaning tbh. Not many people will ever score hat-tricks as good as that at that level or above, and its my opinion that it wouldn't of mattered if it were EPL players & keeper there, he's still of scored them.

He looks a capable player now, and did at the end of last season under GR. We should of kept him, we should of done more as he would of been the cheap backup every team needs. Obviously it wouldn't be the goal haul like at Cardiff, but with chances, he'd be scoring more than Sibbi, and would partner Martins quite well if everyone think 2 pacey little men upfront works.

See bold. I'm not sure he's the right man, but why you say that? Ok, no respect is hard, but who is he? (the question must be asked by footballers who are being courted by us and other clubs) Who is this man with no qualifications, no successful experience as a manager who's with a team thats struggling and has been for 2-3 years. Who was he as a player, I'd heard of the Souness bloke, amazing player, maybe something will rub off, but now he's gone, and the academy man is in charge. Is he going to help my career blossom, or stall it? My agent reckons Wenger is interested, and there's talk of Tottenham, ok, shite as this club but i get to live in London. What can this man offer me? /\/\ What i think footballers must think of him, especially abroad. Who is this man that developed many top class youngsters and nurtured them through the West Ham team. The likes of Lampard, J Cole, Defoe etc... all consider him to be THE major factor of their success. The man took a dogshit NUFC team from 15th to 7th in 3 months, currently has them in the top half and later rounds of the Uefa Cup despite having about a zillion injuries to KEY players. Aye, Roeder can offer nowt. Nothing to do with Harry eh?

Wages? And the prospect of being potential messaih for this club which has been underachieving for years. I won't think it would be hard getting famous players to tour club unless the players are extraordinary, for as long as the supporters fill in the stadium week in week out we would be able to pay higher wages than other clubs; for as long as we are underachieving we would be able to attract players who want to make a name for themselves. Good for some, not enough for others. So we end up with players costing fortunes and not worth it. I thought we were trying to steer away from that era?

Great so FS has more money for his holidays while we all bite our nails & pull our hair out until the 29th August where we'll sign our 1st signing of the summer, on loan. I just wish picking the lottery numbers was this easy to predict.

Match fixing, corruption, violence and now death, but the Italian NT were allowed to go on and win the WC, so no doubt they'll be allowed to go on and continue like nothings happened after a couple of games behind closed doors. (not that anyone would notice with their shit attendances)

Is this a good thing? Do we need to bring them back? It wont change the atmosphere unless standing is cheap as dirt and then you'd get the more 'risky' football fans back in the grounds.

The start was unforgivable. The games of Charlton, Bolton, Fulham & Sheff Utd at home were disgraceful and tbh GR has just about evened that out by fluking some results this month. Injuries have been a joke, and he'll be given leeway because of that, and to finish top half is probably good enough for me now. Start of the season i wanted top 6, but if we dont i wont be jumping on him and calling this season a failure come May, its been a failure since the start so i'm ok with it now. FS reckons because we haven't spent this window we have more money in the summer, and hopefully we have our summer budget and that extra £20m on top of that. We couild see a total summer re-build, and i would trust GR to get the right players in, i just feel he'll lose a lot as he doesn't command any respect in the game.

You have some good points, and i've thought of some of them myself, and if he doesn't start it wouldn't surprise me, but i hope he does. He looks like someone who can cope mentally with pressure, for me its a case of can he handle the skill level, and Fulham would be a good test for that.

This should be fun.
