  1. I can see him leaving Man City in the summer, as now Hughes has gone, the owners will want to see the manager pick the megabucks strikers they've bought for the club and not that little cheap Welsh midget. Lets make him our number one transfer target. (of course that is assuming we get promoted, have an owner willing to pay for transfers, and have a manager who isn't going to mind having such a driven outspoken player in the dressing room)
  2. Why would we want to sign PL players? The only players likely to want to join a club which doesn't have guaranteed promotion aren't going to be good enough when we get up there, and what we've currently got is good enough for where we want to be (unless there is an injury in which case a loan is easy to make this year), so if we don't go up it is because Hughton, Ashley, or a group of players have gone and done something completely stupid. So what do I want to see Ashley do in January? Absolutely nothing with regards to running the football side of things.

    Ryan Giggs

    Would be a travesty if he won Sports Personality of the Year. If you think he deserves it based on his career, take it out on the 1999 voting panel, and not those who have achieved so much more than him in 2009.
  4. Good win. Things are looking rosy. When we win the league, can we forfeit our promotion and just stay here forever?
  5. Shearer. He's the only one not to contribute to this year's title challenge.
  6. Blatantly fixed for the French. Don't qualify automatically, and FIFA change the rules to introduce a seeded play-off draw. Can't beat Ireland without referees helping out at the death. Then get drawn against by far the weakest Pot 1 team and the weakest South Americans. Excellent draw for England. Should be easy until the quarters unless Germany do something silly to not top their group.
  7. What I've noticed about Robert is that wherever he's gone he's had a good start but then gone downhill. There is only one manager whoever lived who could get Robert to play stunningly well for him.

    No. 1 striker

    None of these really. I think our relatively successful season has depended on a good partnership in front of 9 other cohesive players in the team. There are no number ones at this club any more and thats a good culture to have really.
  9. Tell that to the fans on FM2010 who expect 5th round minimum. Just as well I beat Sunderland 1-0 away and Aston Villa 6-1 home.
  10. Because it isn't it the BBCs contract. Pay for Newcastle World.
  11. By all accounts he is supposed to be a decent bloke. Can't really judge him any more now we know about what happenned since with Mike Ashley. The blatant backstabbing from the likes of Michael Owen didn't help either. A decent to good manager at the wrong club at the wrong time is probably how we should remember his time here.
  12. He is to have an angioplasty after having chest pains. Get well soon Big Sam.

    Future Managers

    Agree with Kevin Nolan, I think he has a good footballing brain, just lacks the skills, physical ability to be the best, but combining intelligence with his decent mentality, I can see him as someone who could get a good team together if he finds himself at the right place at the right time. To be honest though, it is impossible to predict who the good managers will be, especially today where Bobby Robson would have never got the second chance he needed to be a top manager.

    Apparently there are quotes from Shearer in the Sun saying SJP will always be SJP or something like that.
  15. Great striker on his day. If it wasn't for Gerrard, the 2005 FA Cup Final would have been known as the Ashton Final. Great shame, he definitely deserves a massive payoff from the FA.

    Just get a marker pen and add "Again"

    Yep, my concern is more a long term fear that Ashley will take some lame deal for his own benefit that would impact our future revenue streams. Like Shepherd spending all the kit sponsorship, only worse.
  18. So you are more likely to win if you say Fernando Torres than if you say Steven Taylor.
  19. Can I just clarify, a "unique" goalscorer is someone who has never scored for NUFC in a competitive game before.
  20. So then, who will be the next unique goalscorer at the club? First person to name correct player gets kudos, only one player per poster. I'm going to go for Danny Simpson.
