  1. when people talk about the pressures on Glenn and he moans about having to manage the club, take training prepare for a match whilst sorting transfers out, he would be so under pressure if he didnt come out setting standards. He doesnt help himself by saying we are after X amount of players and players in these positions at the start of the window, or setting himself targets that will increase that pressure. For instance when in the past has another manager spoken about targets this year, let alone the official website publish quotes talking about potential players. Id prefer him to just keep quiet. If we get the players he is linking us to fine, but he is making himself look like a twat when they go elsewhere. He bends to far too please the fans sometimes. But of course thats not a bad thing, he is better than that though, he has more than the majority of the fans support, something his predecessor never had, he doesnt need to try so hard to impress.
  2. His tactics and decision making when things are going wrong.. and sometimes right. Also think he tends to shoot himself in the foot with some of his press statements, why make the job harder for yourself by setting limits and statements on transfers, he also gets a bit monotonous with his statements, but on the whole he usually makes sense and doesnt moan. Im more than happy with him at the moment though. I dont think we would bring anyone in better than Roeder.. and even if we did it would be another few steps and seasons backwards before we go forwards again. Its progress under Roeder but its very slow. Full steam ahead.
  3. http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~984801,00.html Nothing like putting yourself under added pressure. There is to be no excuse when we end up without the players we need for the start of next season. Roeder has potentially made himself look like a complete t*** again. Except has decided to do it without the saftey harness this time.
  4. Isnt Heinze out of contract this year.. Id love him here, he is complete filth, but a fine defender..even better now I realise he is an adequete CB aswell.
  5. Jenas.. Seriously though.. what he said.
  6. Kingdawson might have been waxing lyrical about spurs and barnes, but (N.O.) Martin Jol said we were both in talks on Jan 31st, and he favoured Us over them. Bale surely wont be ending up here? who knows though. Bit risky given his age, would prefer, bridge or baines. Wont complain if we did get him though. Potentially LB sorted for the next 10 years.. Potentially is the word though unfortunately.

    As long as she doesnt talk its all good.
  8. All this so Gejon can save to buy a black and white shirt to match his lungs. Its a long and sad story.
  9. Unless its to the injury room or the bench.
  10. I thought the training ground picture with "un-named" player sticking his finger up behind his back put that one to bed.
  11. The team robson built was rotting.. It just didnt help we had an incompetant builder putting more rotten foundations after trying to take less rotten ones out.
  12. Whilst the majority will still pay for it, why reduce the prices? It will have to go down before attendances get consistently better though. Helps if things go well on the pitch like though.
  13. Lets be fair if it was blackburn in the champions league final with the club paying the fans to turn up, Ewood park would still be less than half full. Ticket prices should be lower though, especially midweek.
  14. yeah, teach me to not look what im typing whilst looking over my shoulder at work. :'(
  15. Find those two a bit similar personally. They have similar qualities certainly, but Martins is much stronger, holds up the ball better, although Owen isnt that bad at it either. Oba doesnt make the surging runs that Owen does, and isnt the same type of predator in the box. Martis prefers to hang back for the most part. Whether this is preference over experience who knows. Personally I think there are at least as many differences than similarities. I think its Martins relative in experience in not making these runs, holding back and trying to shoot from distance that will make his partnership with Owen work.
  16. Glad we have Oba and Martins tbh. We are way past needing Bellamy, whilst he would be a fine squad player, he would be a luxury signing who would more than likely be more trouble than he is worth.
  17. Emerton is definately in though.
  18. Id say Ferdinand is the back up option if we dont get Davies.. If the money is there I wouldnt rule out bringing them both in should west ham go down and whether WBA go up. Depends on Gooch and whether we ship Bramble out or not. Ship out Bramble and Moore, do whatever you want with Ramage. Ship Edgar and Hunty out on loan. Davies, Gooch, Ferdinand and Taylor is a fine looking CB line up. Would more or less spunk the majority of our summer budget down the drain though.
  19. "a couple of players"? Zoltan Gera? or John Hartson
  20. Until we buy players better and sell off the players worse than a 35 year old Solano we arent in that position.
  21. Aye its a good one, will be good watching.

    In the same way ive never heard you speak. I dont go out of my way to listen to his match reports but I have read them. Having friends that are Brighton and Palace fans help fuel the flames.
