  1. where? Thought I was on Crack.. just went back on .co.uk to check and its gone...! but sanity was restored... http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=35703.0
  2. Only good news... but to be honest he is just publicly announcing what we at the least should be expecting he do over the next couple of months. He has a 6 month advantage on the last summer window he had, and he already has the targets from the January window under consideration. I cant help but think although its looking like sound thinking, its just piling more pressure on himself and the players he gets in.... ....either way its a lose lose situation that will have somone whinging.
  3. Confused, why the article on .co.uk about him being called up? I would have thought he or we had requested he didnt go though, we play Liverpool 3 days later, he is trying to impress. Makes sense.
  4. Great call to have Foster there, personally i would have dropped Robinson for James. James has been at least as good as all three of those keepers. Good to see Dyer back and Barton included. Still more than a few players that shouldnt be in there.

    This season

    I think he has done well, he has always handled himself properly. He has alot of bad points but he continues to do more good than bad at this club, even if we are stepping forward very slowly. Barring a billionaire take over I dont think we will get anyone better. He is still relatively inexperienced in the managerial game and learning and looking to improve all the time. Biggest dissapointments are his substitutions and questionable tactical noose. But he is learning all the time. Consistency is the key to any sucess. I just worry he hasnt got the experience around him to turn to when he needs it. A Director of Football would improve us no end. Roeder is clearly not happy juggling both.

    This season

    Failure for me. Granted if we get to 7th we have done especially well, if we get any further than we have in the past in the UEFA on top of that you could call it a success. But we started out as getting 5th or upwards. The injury situation doesnt come into it, its still a failure. Its just not one I will be particularly bothered about. Bit like playing really well but losing.
  7. Its going to be the same regardless of when he makes his debut with us. He seems mentally very tough, and Id say on the arrogant side of confident from his early interviews, Im eagerly awaiting watching him. The press seem to be playing on the fact he might move someone else at the end of the season aswell. Comments on the BBC saying he refused to talk about where he will be after the end of the season, and ITV quoting him saying "Its always been a dream to play in the premiership and starting off at a club like Newcastle is great." He is very ambitious and driven by the looks of things, even if he is to go somewhere else at seasons end he will always be motivated to play well for us.
  8. Would would have thought at the beggining of the season we would be desperate for Butt to be fit and desperate for parker to be injured. Crazy!
  9. Thought it wouldnt be long before the Prince would be interviewed about Gooch.
  10. Its not just Dyer to be fair we have a club full of them.
  11. Alan is that you? Thats what I would like to see if Baba isnt fit tbh.
  12. The Liverpool match is three days later on the 10th, USA play on the 7th.. So Serious Jet lag, probably start on the bench. Although given the fact its just a friendly and he is supposed to be impressing here, i would be dropping out of the USA squad and concentrating on making a good impression here. Liverpool will be a big match to play in aswell. He can walk into the USA side anytime he wants, its not like anyone will stop him!
  13. Roeder better put nobby back at RB again. Id expect him to put carr at LB, unless Babayaro fancies returning to the fray. Then Carr to the bench PLEASE.
  14. No coz spurs bid for him and he said martin jols was the bestest manager eva and he always wanted to play for spurs and turned down millons of dollars to become a bar code, but then the nasty derby people chained him up and wouldnt let him go.
  15. Michael Adubato = Yank Anal Ridiculous article from someone who speaks of Villa like they are a superstar club just because a yank now owns them. Expect him to be waxing lyrical about the place after he actually comes here to watch his "best chum".
  16. He is going to be a beast! Id expect hes also going to be very clumsy at times aswell, certainly until he knows the league a bit better.
  17. Swiss Magpie has it pretty much spot on for me. New First choice LB Young up and coming RB Quality CB Probably a replacement for Emre (young DM) Maybe a central attacking midfielder that can cover RW. Decent striker OUT Moore Carr Emre - I think he will leave rather than me wanting him to leave. Luque IN Bridge/Baines Billy Jones Davies Barton/appiah Barnes Tuncay Will mean spending alot of money though.
  18. Yeah, hopefully both Hunty and Edgar can get out on Loan for at least part of next season. Edgar has been impressive. Hunty has done very well also but he is a mile off the pace which is just what you would expect for someone of his age.
  19. Cant see him getting the England call anytime soon, he is certainly approaching that kind of form though. What goes for him is that he is equally as good down the left..he just needs to work on his crossing a bit more, think Id have him over downing though.
  20. Question is will he drop Bramble or Taylor for Gooch? and will he do the sensible thing and put Solano back at RB? Agree with Hindu regarding Baba.. we need him back. Id be tempted to put Taylor there on Saturday if Baba isnt ready to return, although it wouldnt suprise me to see Roeder play Carr there again.
  21. Will score more goals that bellamy tbh
  22. As in its a long running joke? they play players that look like him in the reserves once in a while, then post dated pics on the official site pretending he is still at the club.. ..whilst poor Olly is in a boozer laughing to be polite at the joke, before crying into his pint and going home? Or just the fact it was a stupid signing?
  23. Has this man got a new contact or what? Fantastic tonight, and for all the press and Baldwin cracking one off over downing performing once this season, should really start taking notice of Milner.. I hope he keeps a) Improving b) getting the chance to improve. He is getting to the almost undroppable stage.. (albeit no-one else is fit enough to replace him)
  24. Fixed. I feel a bit dirty saying that though, even though Bernard doesnt really count he is blatantly trying to get fit enough to play for us through his hip injury.. shame he didnt fancy it 2 years ago.
