Northern Monkey

He's actually really good, I don't rate all of the academy/reserve side, i think we're carrying dead weight in most areas, but Carroll is the true bright spark. Carroll, Lua Lua, Donaldson, and possibly Cavener. These are the lads I tip to make it 'big', whether it be at Newcastle or otherwise. By valuable asset, i meant good first teamer, i just don't know if he'll be the next "bog thing" as in our star player. I'm a waverer about LuaLua, i really am.

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 shite 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.

Or, of you are Roeder, you try to sellotape on more wings, and don't bother with any engines.

I have a prediction - the team Roeder picks will not be the best one he could.

You're a funny fucker, Skirge.

I still find that odd.

We need a third striker anyway, as someone has already said. Ameobi is gash, and Dyer is worse as a striker.

f****** hate it when people wish our players got injured. Agreed though Isn't it an exception when its Carr. Hate the bloke. Moore is no better than Carr as a footballer. Roeder, you cunt.

You haven't met many Liverpool fans, have you?

A lifetimes money in one week? Jesus, he must have been well paid back then.

no, considering it's the middle of the season I didn't know there was no football being played in the middle of the season like.. Figures then.. wtf are you on about you tool? you wanna go and ask any club if they'll let us trial their left back? go right ahead numpty Maybe we could actually go and SCOUT some players, and get a dewcent left back, instead of having to look at aged freebies? Oh, no, we can't, because Roeder is fucking clueless in the transfer market, as well as tactically and as a man-manager.

We should also factor in wages paid through the life of his contract, and the savings made on future wages not paid.

Or get a decent manager in. Are they going to drop the prices? If Blackburn havem i'm damned sure WE should, bearing in mind we have 3/4 of a shite team, and one of the worst managers in the league.

I don't think he can be the "next big thing", but if we had a decent man agement and coaching setup*, i think he could possibly become a valuable asset for the team. * So no, then.

If we could get Ashton and Bent (not the shit one) for the money we sold Martins for (unlikely, as we wouldn't get more than we paid, granted), i'd take it. Martins could well turn into a great, great player, but he's far from that now in fairness.

Oh, come now Ozzie. You know that won't be case.

I didn't understand what point you were making, I presumed you seen a post by me mentioning the board and went off on one like you usually do. I've no problem with what the board are doing, I think it's great that they are looking at ways to improve the clubs finances which can only be a good thing for us long term, I've spoke before how I think the club is understaffed at management level so it was also good to see them bring in this chap Walton to supervise the whole project. As for your point about a takeover, I'm not naive enough to think anyone will be better than the current board however anyone spending the kind of money being talked about to buy NUFC will know doubt want to see the clubs value rise, the obvious way to do that is to invest money and push on to the CL. I'm not completely ungrateful for what the current board have done for us, however even you will find it hard to deny that the club are going in the wrong direction and have been for a while now, nothing that a top manager (or DOF ) wouldn't sort out I know but after the appointments of both Souness and Roeder I have no faith in Shepherd or the other directors employing that man. Therein lies the crux of the problem. Every right-minded fan of NUFC knows that Roeder is at best a clueless fool, but few now have faith in The Fatman and his chums to make the right footballing choice - get rid of him and get a proper manager in.

Nearly right. Maybe he should go somewhere that his fucking stupid tackling, and utterly useless twisting and turning on the ball, allied with his lack of leadership ability and ineffectiveness in controling the midfield, will be better received.

I'm sure if you ask some Liverpool fans they'll disagree with that. And they'd be exactly the right fans to ask, the graceless twats. As for foreign clubs, i find it hard to really hate any of them, cos they rarely interact with the club i support! If i had to, i'd say Rangers.

They still need replacing if you sell them. Yes, they do. And seeing what tehy actually provide us, that wouldn't be too difficult.

Agreed, but replacing Duff, Emre, Parker, Dyer and maybe Solano? They might not be flavour of the month but try replacing that lot on a tight budget. Bearing in mind our need for a whole new defence and Roeder's "patient" movement in the transfer market. Dyer and Solano espescially have been two of our best players this season. Best of a bad bunch maybe, but clubs who sell their best players usually end up in trouble. Duff shouldn't be first choice, so no problem. Emre has proven v inconsistent, in fairness. Parker is very average. Dyer is also very average, produces very little. Solano should maybe stay as cover, but he'll likely be past it as a first team player.

Get out. And take your new-fangled thinkings with you. There's no place for the likes of those ideas at SJP. so Roeder is a crap manager because he doesn't spend his training time with his international footballers telling them not to throw the ball to the opposition? Not going to answer the question Alex put to you or will that show you up as being someone who puts in a random comment without the knowledge to actually back it up? How is he anything like Roeder? down boy he's an average English type motivator and tactician who doggedly sticks by his favourite players howzzat for starters? You said average. Therefroe he is nothing like Roeder. funny how the players would rather blame the fans for their lack of confidence than the piss poor roeder though isn't it? How odd. Like to see how Bolton would perform infront of 52,000 Northern Monkeys I would love to see examples of Roeder being even average. Well? Playing Carr as soon as he's fit? Solano off for Milner? Letting Bramble ever play for us? I'm sure you have loads of examples, though.

Running past the ball, as fast as we can, and slamming first face into the post would be better than Emres set pieces recently.
