Why should i need to watch him at st james park to know how good he is? Have you ever heard of that thing called TV? I watched him live in 99 when England played Bulgaria in a European qualification Judging by your nickname i guess in 99 instead of watching the game you were playing with your LEGO... Its irrelevant if you watched some players live or not to decide how good they are. You genuinely think you get a complete view of the game. and the players within it, on telly?? I shouldn't laugh, bearing in mind your posts historically, but nonetheless: :lol: Not complete because when you are on the staduim you can concentrate watching only 1 player But when you are watching on the TV you are able to see everything that is happening on the field and then you can make your own conclusions about players,teams,perfromance etc. How many times have you seen Ronaldihno,Zidane,Kaka,Messi etc.etc.not to mention some legendary players like Pele,Maradona etc. to make your opinion about them??? How many times have you watch them? I doubt its alot but you still are making comments about them dont you? Its not necessary to watch some player live to make i firm opinion about him.You can watch him on TV too and still if you understand something about football you can make a good judgement about him. I think 80% of the users here have never kicked a ball in their lives and still thinks that they now something about football. Genius hahahahaahahahahahahahahaahahahaha!!!! :lol: :lol: Stupidest, wrongest, ridiculousest and most obviously mental comment. Ever. You, my 'tard friend, are a fucking gem. Comedy gold.

Its irrelevant if you watched some players live or not to decide how good they are. You can't see how well a player is positioned on TV until the ball comes near him, you also don't see what they do off screen. Two important parts of being a defender is your poisitional awareness at all times and how you manage those around you. Once again you come across as an clueless fool. Agree with you points but are you telling me that if i havent watched some player live i cant decide if he is good enough? Because thats the whole point of this argument In the case of defenders, no you can't. Respect your opinion but i dont agree This is f****** great stuff. ...and you are? .....more knowledgable than a know-nowt like you? If you're stupid enough to think that you can judge a player without actually seeing him, you must be gullible enough to believe in fairies, the loch ness monster, and Roeders worst injury crisis since the dawn of man.

Why would we think otherwise? He was an average journeyman player, seems ot be a relatively ok coach, and fucking totally unproven scout. But yeah, lets send him round the world, rather than an actual scout. Genius, that.

He's still better than fucking Roeder.

i said somewhere earlier in all this that if allardyce were coming in with the remit of operating on a budget and looking to bring in cheaper players and get the best out of what we have then fair enough, i agree however the noise coming out of the club is that they'll spend money in the window to "strengthen the squad" which i read as spending significantly...i don't see an argument for giving allardyce cash ahead of roeder... Here's one - Allardyce has not shown himself to be a lying, incompetent, shite manager. Roeder has. End of chat.

personally i think the way he's operating in the transfer market is to the benefit of the club as a whole - no manager has a 100% success record in transfers do they? so far martins has been very good, sib has exceeded expectations and duff has been a disappointment (but is hardly to be written off at age 27) rossi should have been used more (but then he was tied for quite a few games), bernard was/is a joke and gooch has not been as good as we'd hoped all in all the 6 players he's brought in haven't damaged us too much have they? he hasn't panic bought a 9.5m player yet has he? i have to believe that roeder, and the club, have learned from their mistakes to this point and will take steps to rectify them this summer.... the alternative as i see it is another season of a new manager coming in and "assessing" the players we all know need to leave before then not being given the chance to change things round if roeder doesn't act this summer then he's pulling the trigger on himself, simple as that.... Jesus. You WANT to let him bring more players like fucking Gooch into the club?? you TRUST a man who automatically plays Carr??? Roeder has been woeful, he'll learn fuck all because he thinks he was right, and he'll drag us down.

Not a fan of Fat Head Allardyce, but as there is no worse manager than that wanker Roeder in the league, it has to be "Big Sam".

lol What a genius Well done :clap: Jesus, you're unbelievable. and not in a good way.

<snigger> worst injury crisis in Premiership history, tbh.....

Roeder IS the worst manager in the league, so its not a huge surprise, is it.

Going to play himself into the England squad, tbh. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Top 4 ability/potential: Given (now) Taylor (maybe) The Zog (maybe) Martins (maybe) Owen (if he comes back as good as he used to be) Thats pretty much it. Talk of Dyer, Emre, Oarker etc is fucking laughable.

...and a manager with no fucking clue. It's be even more annoying than it is now. At least now we know our squad are in the main bollocks. It's be even worse torture watching Roeder destroy us with good players. Tbh, the amount of quality in our squad is depressingly high. No, its not. But please feel free to put on some rose tinted (or in some cases entirely opaque) glasses about Ameobi, Dyer, Shambles, Babayaro, Moore, Duff, Luque, Sibierski, etc. Players like Ameobi, Dyer, Duff, Given, Harper, Taylor, Solano, Milner, Parker, Emre, Butt, N'Zogbia, Martins, Owen ... represent the bulk of what could be a very good squad. Obviously, there are some duffers in the squad aswell. However, there is no doubt about it in my opinion - the individual talent on display there is of a high standard. It's case of getting the right manager and the right set-up to make it work and get the best out of the players. Well, i think you're wrong, but hey ho, thats football. In my opinion, Dyer, Emre, Parker, Harper et al can never be in a "very high" ability list, indeed some of them shouldn't even be on the park.

* No, its not. We have: 1 great keeper, 1 passable one (Harper), 1 with potential (Krul) 2 decent defenders (Nobby and Taylor), 6 shite (Moore, Ramage, Shambles, Carr, Babayaro, Gooch) 2 midfielders with potential to be very good (milner and the zog), 2 who are ok most of the time (Emre and Dyer), 1 who is poor (duff) and 1 who offers nowt (parker). 1 great striker (Owen, if he comes back ok), 1 past it journeyman (Le Sib), 2 shite (Ameobi and Luque).

Bold: utter bollocks. Roeder is the worst manager in the league. Italics: Anyone would be.

This. This, but more players. So its not all doom and gloom. Of course not. The pies were better this season than they have been for a while. Go us!

Most pointless post ever, shall I educate with regard to local dialect, colloquialism you boring little pedant Double negatives are neither, really.

To perform, we need a decent manager and a top half Premiership team. We have neither.

This. This, but more players.

This "Sky fans" sh*t boils my piss. Considering everyone under the age of 25 wouldn't have really been match-goers before Sky came in with the Premier League, it's bollocks. There are still a lot of fans who actually think that itsbetter to watch on the telly, and feel qualified to comment on the entire game despite only therefore seeing a part of it. THAT'S what Sky has done to the fans.

Lee Clark - Coach or Scout? Roeder, you're an idiot. As for Anal: Nobby "just edges" ahead of Asprilla as the greatest South American player we've had?? Now, there was no doubting Tino's ability, but coem on, how important has Solano been to us??? Fuck off, Oliver, you're an idiot.

Dyer.
