To be honest I'd probobly agree. Nobody has really stood out in the last 2 games and Duff has been as solid as anybody. He's not stood out, so he can't be singled out as the best player. As for the idea of believing a fucking think Roeder says: :lol:

Its a different country. Did you miss that day at school?

Many of US don't even call them United.

It's even sadder when you se how football can be played(Roma) and the team that you support is miles(some managers and a chairman) off that standard. But the saddest thing is when you see what an incompetent manager we have, and that his babbling is tolerated. <nods>

Absolutely no chance of that happening. Alas so.

"Little Shittehs"?

Someone should do a list of all the transfers in and out since we got into the Premiership, and do the addies up, and that, and then we'll see. Who has the time to do that? Is HTT still on the scrounge not working? he'll have the time.

we made a hell of a profit out of players like Gazza, Beardsley and Waddle. Shame we don't make managers sell players like that anymore eh eh mackems.gif Les Ferdinand. I miss him. He was one of my favourites too. Seemed a genuinely nice bloke as well as a top centre forward. One of the few times I've given a toss about a player from another team getting crocked was him, straight after he left us. What a player he was. People shite on about Ameobi being a good enough striker, and Dyer contributing to the team, but there was a fella who WAS good enough, and contributed massively, and was a genuine asset to the team. I remember watching an interview with him, sometime after he'd gone. He was asked about it and seemed saddened it had happened. He then said something like "But you have to learn that in this business you're just a commodity." It made me think about the fact that this was the other side of the coin from the issue of some players not caring about clubs much beyond the size of their wage packets. Not that anyone could have ever levelled that complaint against Sir Les. Not if they'd ever watched a game where he played for us, no.

Didn't we have to pay £500,000 for Bernard? Not as a transfer fee. It was some kind of compensation. I thought that was The Zog? Maybe i'm mixing them up, they all look alike to me. The French, i mean.

"Welcome to hell" , Always made me laugh They've clearly never been to Pennywell.

How man, you're a Newcastle Fan. We're United, they're ManUre. Calling them 'ManUre' is more embarrassing than 'United', to be honest. Do you prefer Red Manc Scum then? Dirty Red Wankers?

What a load of sh*te man. Where's the reasoning that "but had Owen been fit, we might have scored an extra 15-20 goals this season, been 4 places (or £2m higher), and still in cup competition. aye, without even looking, I KNOW that macbeth will portray the club in the worst light possible, and not consider the playing side of it. So why bother. Just think where we would be if we hadn't bought Woodgate, Dyer, Bellamy, Robert, Parker, Butt, Martins, Owen etc etc over the past years, instead buying players for 500 grand or something to keep the books right. Aye, and just think where we'd be if we hadn't bought Marcelino, Maric, Viana, Cort, Luque, Bassedas and Boumsong. 45m quid the lot. Aye, all the shite boards back their managers with that sort of money, just like their predecessors always bought international footballers instead of selling them all. As a long term - cough cough - fan you know this though don't you. BTW - you forgot your hero Arsprilla, who scored 2 goals in his last season, and played well in about 1 game in 10 before that anyway. Are you still dishing the dirt on the club you say you support to lundun scumbag journos who hate Newcastle ? Are you still confusing me with Freddie Shepherd and Douglas Hall? 45m quid the lot. Aye, all the shite boards back their managers with that sort of money, just like their predecessors always bought international footballers instead of selling them all. As a long term - cough cough - fan you know this though don't you. BTW - you forgot your hero Arsprilla, who scored 2 goals in his last season, and played well in about 1 game in 10 before that anyway. 18 goals in 50 appearances (1:2.8) . Better than, say, Wyn Davies (1:4.1) but not quite as good as Pop Robson (1:2.5). And yeah, I do know what year it is. You're the one who seems to have difficulty understanding that a lot more has changed in the last 20-30 years than just the composition of the board. nearer 1:3 than one in 2, in fairness, according to your figures. Although, in REALITY, he got 9 in 48 league games. Which is 1:5.3 You're welcome.

No, mate, seriously, its Roeders idea of a player we should maybe sign. And there are still a mental few who think he's worth keeping on!

And trying to find the number for Barca's president in his mobile, without letting Ferguson see him.

Shit, was that out loud??

Very well said. I totally agree. Dyer contributes very little, in fairness. More than Duff, and more than Emre on his "disappearing" days. But he's still very fucking average.

We've fallen in the last 4 years, but we've fallen and risen in the past aswell. In 1998, for 4 seasons we finished 13th twice and 11th twice, but then we rise again at get in the Champions League. Without meaning to sound like NE5/HTL, we've 'fallen', yet we still spent £15m last summer - far more than most clubs. We've been shit this season, but we've not exactly done a Leeds have we? If we were bottom of the Championship 4-5 years after being CL Semi Finalists, then we'd be able to worry! A few decent signings and we've got the potential to be a good team again. at least 4. As for NUFC.com, they HAVE disappeared up their own arses, but at least they care. They are a bit "soopafan", but they are right about one thing - if you don't go to the game, you have less right to comment on that game. Because you don't see enough of the game, simple as.

I only saw one goal all night. Stupid channel hopping. You should have put Match Choice on and the goal update red button thing would have popped up. Oh, NOW you tell me. Thanks for nothing.

It was a good goal. Utter nonsense to say we've never scored one like that or will. when was the last time you saw us score a goal after 3 or 4 precision passes? We scored loads under SBR. I agree, but that was 3 years ago You can use a PC and the internet and you're only 2 years old? Impressive. By the age of 5 I think I'll be qualified enough to be a moderator Only if you have a nasty fall and bang your head.

We need a better setup to support him that what we have now.

I still find that odd. Proud to be British, maybe? I'm proud to be English, but i don't support other English teams. I think i'm a bit old-fashioned, as discussed before. I think you should support the team from where you come/at least have a strong link to. So i can't get my head around supporting any team that doesn't fall into that category. Maybe i'm just odd. Well, more odd than normal, i mean. I accept that like, but I just never know why people pretend they don't understand why other people do it. I'm a bit like yourself, I don't like to support other British teams, just reminds me how s**** we are. No, i genuinely don't understand. Like how i don't understand why someone would support a team where they don't come from as theur first team. I genuinely don't understand the mindset, its not rational to me, but hey ho. Well, the only reason I could understand it is if somebody spent most of their life in one city, then had to move to another for work, family, school and the like. Thats a link i was talking about. I can understand that, or even if your parents moved somewhere else and they brought you up as a fan of the original team. But having no strong link and then becoming this superfan of another citys club, baffles me.

There is so little about passionately supporting a sports club that can be described as "rational" though. Very true, mate, i just don't get why anyone would choose to support a team from bloody miles away, that they have no link to. I've always been eternally grateful i wasn't born in Blyth! (not just for footballing reasons, in fairness).
