Is this the new thread that NE5 will take up residency in? Admins - Perhaps we should mark it appropriately then.

Not sure why people are critical of Nobby. He is not Ronaldihno but he lost posession of the ball fewer times in a season that Carr (or any of our other defenders) does in one game. He keeps hold of the ball and gives it to another Newcastle player 99% of the time - that kind of consistancy is invaluable.

You mean beyond what SBR wrote in his book: "I thought Nobby's legs were going and he weas getting fatigued too easily." Seemed SBR was pretty straight forward. He liked us to have younger players (even to his detriment) and for an old codger he was always looking for a way to get rid of the older players (SHearer included) and it would seem on the surface for purely football related reasons.

hmmmmmm... no word on Nobby I see. Fair thee well Dyer.

And if Carr doesn't play? I am thinking we'll just edge it 7-0 in that case.

I am worried about Carr and I refuse to get carried away so I predict a modest 5-0 - an Oba hat trick followed by an unlikely brace from Zoggy.

Chelsea used to do the huddle thing and I noticed they stopped last year... hmmmmm.

I'd rather not start Carr at all. Allardyce doesn't care if we sell Nobby or not so he should just start him at RB and have him stay there. I so desperately want him gone right now.

I never really disliked Lua Lua so I am sorry for him to got to a team supported by such dickheads.

I realise that HTT is joking here (for you newbies it was a common thread title from Crumpy Gunt over the past four seasons or so when he went under other names) - however, there will be an adjustment period for the Geordie nation if Big Sam is to last as our manager. When we travel to any ground and score three goals in the first half our tactic will always be to close the game down, run out the clock and in general play the dullest football possible. I think the only reason we did not see 100 back passes to Harper was because Big Sam has yet to fully implement his style and will on the team. Long may it continue. IMO.

How many times have I read that about our defenders. This was THE catchphrase for Bramble during the 82 (or was it 87?) seasons he was with us. I would rather anyone but Carr at the Moment. Bring back Nobby.

Spurs... mackems.gif

I would rather we played anyone else other than Carr right now.

Milner should have been carded for time wasting there.

Petulent as usual.

ANOTHER JAMMY GOAL. Strange bouce and unlikely deflection off 'keeoper. My GOD I am begining to think we are getting pay back from Lady Luck... she still owes us BTW We are doing well... at the Reebok... at the begining of teh season...

That was an OBA Head kick.

OH MY GOD! OBA!

We are skooling Bolton at the moment.

More assumptions. More slating of players - rather unfairly.
