La Parka

Emre/Butt. They have shown to be solid and really came on as a partnership

Woodgate and Huth are southgate signings, therefore he will be more inclined to play them.

Oba Fem: Because he talks funny

Can't find where I was defending him unfortunatly. As I remember it was myself and someone else..

Yes. 5 great calls. How do you rate Giles Barnes? Scored a few this season, probably one of Derby's better performers, and he's only 18. Better prospect than Huddlestone was imo. As for Nyatanga, he's gone to Sunderland on loan, Derby can't believe it! Giles will be in the premiership in the summer. Lewin was the youngest capped welsh player until bale. Much better defensively than bale. Solid. Wasyted at sunderland. Everyone knows Curtis credentials. Vanden Borre is unknown but anything is better than carr I have been raving for Nugent for over a year now.

:lol: this thread is gold!

4 players who walk into the squad tbh. Paker or Butt? Butt deserves to stay in. Emre has had a cracker this season.

Happy days

I'm confident we can take them. We just need some players back, and some money spent in the window, and we'll cream them. Cups in the bag tbh. 2nd in the Dutch Premier. Got some good talents too..

Not the best but could of been a lot worse. Aye Spuds will get braga or pama

Newcastle or Zulte v Fenner or AZ Uh.. Not too bad.. AZ are decent though.

Happy Days

Bremen v Ajax Nice one!

Sounds like yeading tbh.

Have fun with Feynoord

Woot!

Yes. 5 great calls.

:roll:

I like your contructive critisism.... :roll: You are talking about our captain who gives it 110% in every game and at most of all looks like he cares for the club. And he is still rated by many ppl especially outside Newcastle! Cant believe that its his own supporters who are the first to get on his neck and if you ask me I cant understand any of the critisism....

Obviously you didn't watch the game from your description of events. May I add a disclaimer saying that pessimists should deduct two from all my scores. I actually did watch the game and feel 9/10 for a striker that posed NO/ZERO/ZILCH threat on goal is just pathetic. Try replacing Rooney or Drogba with Martins tonight and Im sure you wont get a better result. It was an extremely tough game for Martins and he did very well. I don't care whther or not it was Martins fault or not! I don't rate players based on whether or not it was their fault. The fact is, whether it was down to Martins or not, that it was a tough game for him and he didn't pose a threat. Unless we give him a 9 anyway as sympathy because it wasn't directly his fault and that if the team had played more attacking he might have been more of a threat? So if a player is playing with 10 crap players and he is doing very well but cant get past 5 players every time he has the ball to be a threat against goal you would still rate him badly? This is just an excample because I think we defended well but was not enough support for Martins which I had guessed before the game. Erm, why would he have to be a threat every time he gets the ball? Martins wasn't a threat throughout the entire game, same how can you give him a 9? If a striker isn't getting the service, you give him an average mark. By your logic, we could lose 12-0 and Martins could get a 9? I think this is also the point of a midfield. Look, I can't believe your saying that it was not a good performance. FFS lol. It is not a good result, but it was a good performance, surely you can accept that! I've never said it wasn't a good performance? A good effort and performance and a "great performance" are worlds apart, imo. Surely you can accept that? I meant great but anyway. My point is still valid. Given the circumstances that was a great perfromance. Surely?

Imagine manure with 14 first team injuries.. Pretty sure their side would be weak also...

Sure. But I like you less for disagreeing with me, as I'M ALWAYS RIGHT tongue.gif If you are always right it is very sad times for Newcastle...think you should turn down the pessimism a bit...no offence. Arguing for arguings sake tbh. Got to keep his reputation up like.

Well done lads. Good effort. Especially under the circumstances.

Medial Ligaments. Aparantly.
