Absent WithOut Leave

Only person on this board who would ever come out with 'Roeder has been obsessed with upper body strength' Maybe because I'm insightful. He's been banging on about upper body strength all year: "Bernard isn't heavy enough" "We've got Michael working on the weights." "Shola's spent a lot of time in the weights room, so should come back even stronger" "Bramble's injury allows us to givehim time on the weights" Have a look at all our players 12 months ago. Now compare it to today - they'll be heavier, and have larger frames.

Many problems with a manager go away as soon as he departs. However, all managers leave a long term legacy that will cause problems for the next guy. For instance, Roeder has been obsessed with upper body strength. When Bernard signed, Roeder had him on the weights. Owen, Bramble, Taylor, Ameobi, Pattison and N'Zogbia have clearly been on this regime as well, and it is a worry that players will have lost some of the speed and agility that was part and parcel of their game, as Roeder unsuccessfully tried to mould the team into a stronger unit. What else has Roeder left behind that we wont be able to fix overnight?

Someone just added an option as I was voting, so I voted for lots instead of few even though I intended to vote for few. Please dont kill me Dave.

FFS one of his team mates ran into him, and he got dazed. Taken off as a precaution, yet he is just fine. He could play next weekend if he was needed.

"A Newcastle spokesman has confirmed that it is just mild concussion" - Football365.com

Mihir Bose for the BBC said that West Ham were not deducted points because at the time Chelsea didn't want West Ham playing Manchester United on the last game of the season with nothing left to play for.

Seven goals and numerous assists since March.

What. The. Fuck. That is roughly how Mick Lowes described the goal.

Worst. Commentary. Ever: "Solano. Great ball to Dyer......And he's slid it under the keeper. First chance for Newcastle, he slid it under Ben Foster on-loan from Manchester United. I have to say, that was a slide rule pass by Solano, good run by Dyer too. I guess Ben Foster was perhaps slightly slow off the blocks. Dyer slid it under. For the first time, its seven. It was six, but seven is now his record."

Was ganning to ask if it's on Century? Anyone knows? Well it should be on Newcastle world, but there is no audio output

Is anyone getting any audio from Newcastle World?

That article does not make on ounce of sense to me.

Probably Dyer on the right, Milner on the left, and Emre in the middle.

on .cock now.

He's been a nightmarish signing thus far.

Exeter City vs Morecambe Conference Playoff Final. Its gonna be AWESOME!

People have referrees they like and dislike, and they are different between teams. That is because some referees liketo be tight on certain things, and are less likely to blow for other infringements. Thus some referees are likely to blow against certain teams more than others.

If Owen's not here on September 1st, are you willing to be banned? No, football is a funny old game and all that.

I suspect our lineup will show who is picking the team. Pearson will probably pick a few young faces, given how some of the seniors are reported to have turned on Roeder. That would mean something like: Krul Solano Taylor Huntington Ramage Milner Butt Parker Emre Owen Martins A new manager (whether he's in charge by that point is irrelevant), and I'm thinking Allardyce would probably like to see how a few players with their careers in jeopardy will perform now Roeder's gone, and their careers are in jeopardy. Harper Carr Bramble Ramage Babayaro Solano Butt Dyer N'Zogbia Owen Shola While if Shepherd is hoping that certain players will leave this summer, the team will be: Srnicek Ramage Taylor Huntington Edgar Milner Parker Emre N'Zogbia Owen Martins

Last night, I told my Grandad on the phone: "expect every single paper to start linking Owen with a move away every single day until September 1st, as the press hat the idea of Owen playing for us. He'll be here next season." I stand by my comments.

The press are absolutely unbelievable this morning. Talk about being a step ahead of the game, these people are talking as if they know exactly whats going to happen at Newcastle in 12 months time. Tommorrow, I'm expecting: "After Newcastle beat Watford 2-0, with a goal each from Martins and Owen...."

One mans meat is another mans poison. A simple observation is often worth making in my opinion. Well I take exception to it. You can tell me to fuck off if you like, you can call me a wanker, but to call someone a retard is akin to racism, for you are acknowledging that someone is different, and somehow inferior and easy to look down from. Fact is that you are a horrible person.

No they're not retard, just because they point out the obvious does not make them Roeder apologists or on any bloddy campaign. They're pointing out facts. How would idiots on here have reacted had Fat Sam just ended 07/08 with that run............ Was that word necessary? You really didn't need to say that to make your point did you?
