Leazes1986

I was a big fan of Batty when he was here. He was quality in them middle with Rob Lee. I'd be interested to see how Batty would do in todays team though, and i'd also be interested to see how Parker would have done in the Keegan team alongside Rob Lee. I'm a massive fan of Parker as well so i'm not gonna really argue about it. I think if they Parker had been in that team, and Batty was in this team a lot of opinions might be very different.

Didn't Hamann score a great goal against them before as well?

I seem to remember Beardsley scoring a cracker past them in 1994/1994 i think from a canny way out. Could be wrong but i think it was.

If injuries do not count then the best defender in the country Woodgate walks into that team.

Nobby is a legend altogether

Legend

I think Speed is taking his. Rob says he's doing his.

It would be nice to see that one day, but only under once condition. They ALL go elsewhere first and prove themselves to be good coaches. We all know great players don't always make good managers/coaches. Them lot potentially could be great, but Newcastle is far too big of a job for unexperienced people to come in and take over. Even Shearer.

That is very true. We know how good/bad all of our players are though at our best, so just think of it that way. I'd say Given, Harper, Taylor, Solano, Parker, Duff, N'Zogbia and Owen would definitely get in the squad. Maybe Emre. No point even counting Dyer. As for the team i think Given, Parker and Solano. Maybe Taylor. I don't know about you lot but if i had the choice between Shearer, Sir Les and Owen, it would be Shearer and Sir Les every time. Solano can't even get in our team now so why would he get in KK's team? He's not been playing well but neither have many players. Its not looking great for Nobby, i don't know weather he's past it, or he's suffering from playing under poor managers, but i just thought of Nobby at his best. Nobby or Gillespie?

From the Mag: What are peoples thoughts/opinions?

:lol:

The geordie dancer has a feel for the area.

I just can't think of anyone who would want to risk their reputation by taking on this job. Can't blame Roeder for taking it really. He would have enjoyed his time in charge last season, and he got a lot of support of the fans. He had a job for life with the academy though. Anyone think Curbishley is worth trying? I know a lot of people will probably want a bigger name, but we simply aren't a huge attraction with the fat man in charge. Curbishley would definitely steady the ship and with some money he might even go on big things. Whoever the next manager is i hope he realizes how important of a player N'Zogbia is.

If we had Shearer and Owen i think we would be a lot higher. We haven't played bad in some games, but for all the possesion we've had we haven't done anything with the ball, and in some games we've missed far too many chances.

Formation isn't a problem. Confidence and selection is a problem which is down to Roeder. Ability is down to the players.

Biggest problem is no goalscorers.

It doesn't say a lot for you when you're the worst defender out of a backline which includes Babayaro. Fat, slow, useless, brainless waste of space. It makes me sick to think he will probably be in the player lounge with a wallet which is fatter than him in his pocket, tucking into a super sunday roast.

Souness actually had strikers fit though. No matter how shit our defence is still looking it still hasn't been leaking loads of goals in the last few games. A few years back if someone said to you we would concede a goal a game we would have been able to laugh at them because we knew we would score at least two ourselves. Now we can't even buy a goal. No matter who is manager now, i don't think anyone would be able to get them lot banging goals in because we simply haven't got goalscorers.

The only real positive out of that match for me was Taylor today. He looked much better today. Carr is a fuckin joke. I can't believe the was he let his man go from the free kick. Moore looked far too slow at times as well. Harper made a few good saves, Dyer looked lively when he came on. Emre was poor. Ameobi is clearly fucked.

We will not get anywhere with Butt in our team. If Butt is the only player who can play alongside Emre, then we should really be looking for a new partner for our captain. If Bayern really want Emre for more than we paid for him then let him go. He's a good player buy a luxury. Butt is very lucky he is still at the club.

Unbelievable that people think Butt is anywhere near as good as Parker. I can count the number of good games Butt has had for us on one hand. The people who criticize Parker week in week out despite him being our best player on the pitch more times than not, are gonna have to put up with it because he's gonna be here for a long time as long as we stay up.

Nice one Scotty son

It done my fuckin head in on Saturday when the chants were starting then some people started chanting Shearer's name. The mans a legend, and he deserves his name sung forever, but it was blatantly obvious them people singing it were singing it as a message as if we want him as our next manager. Why can't the clueless fuckers not realize that he's got no experience whatsoever when it comes to management and he might not even by management material? The last thing we need is him to take over Roeder and have him take us down. Imagine it, the rest of the country would love it. Thankfully i think he has more sense and he will continue what he is doing. He will be our manager one day, but when he takes over he either needs to be taking over from someone who has left him with a big squad and says go on son you've got the tools there. Either that or he needs to go elsewhere first and prove himself. The last thing he needs it have the responsibility of managing that shower of shite and trying to save us. I think he's pulled that lot out of the shite enough when he's been on the pitch. And the biggest thing of all is he still has mates in the changing room. Not a good idea.
