I'd drop Parker and Carr, I think they're both taking their places for granted a bit at the moment. Put Solano back at RB, give Milner the right wing and put Emre in the centre and I bet you will see a more creative team.

 

Duff did nowt against City but was one of our more committed players. I'd be tempted to give him another chance against Sheff Utd and pull him out for Zoggy if he's not up to scratch.

Duff creates nowt AGAIN, bit gets his umpteenth chance? Bollocks to it.

Had/have an irrational hatred for Stimson, Cort and Dyer. Can't explain the Stimson one at all.

Its his name - it clearly should have a "p" in it.

Still better than Roeder, by about a hundred billion gazillion miles.

Agreed on O'Brien and Ramage. Both have always looked out of their depth at Premiership level. Could you imagine those two together in central defence?

Or worse - Bramble and Moore....<shudder>

I can't be arsed reading through 10 pages of the trumpeting of impromptu experts on real estate......so: has anyone asked the question yet whether this announcement was rushed out eraly to detract from the fact that our manager is a compelte and utter cock, we only have 7 or 8 players in the entire squad worthy of a place in a premiership side, and we are an average side club in serious trouble?

Bramble

Hamilton

Stephane Gu'whatsit.

Guivarc'h, or Gurridge, as my dad who deliberately used to get the players names mixed up to piss me off, used to call him, only started two games for us.  Surely not enough to bring such dislike.

 

Don't question my dislike. I chose players who were utter shite, and didn't choose crap like Dyer or Duff who are just ball-achingly fucking average despite all the hype.

Bramble

Hamilton

Stephane Gu'whatsit.

no pal. newcastle should never buy a spaniard gain. look at out record

 

Erm, we've signed two in our history. So if Liverpool decided in the summer they'd sell us Xabi Alonso, would you turn your nose up at it?

Slower than Vianna, tbh.

he's a lazy posing bastard and probably the most overrated player I''ve ever seen for us.

 

You see, I'd be thinking there were other contenders for that particular crown.

 

 

at least a couple of which are still here.

There are bigger problems than Owen not signing for the kids at the club at this moment in time FFS!

 

There is, but the utter cunt couldn't be arsed to even live in the region until his injury cleared up, couldn't be arsed to even speak to Martins until the last month, the guy is an utter cock socket.

 

 

 

Ooh, ooh, is that made up??

 

Yes, is the answer, i think.

 

Martins did come out and said that he and Owen haven't spoken much. But I think TT is still making too much out of it.

No, he's making stuff up.

Or maybe he's ITK....hahahahahaha

Maybe so, but if Shola had played the whole season I'd have tipped him to bag 15-20 easily. (didn't he already have 7 by October?) I'm not confident Chopra would do at this level.

Shola Ameobi is incapable of getting anywhere near 20 (league) goals. He's one f our numerous Championship players. Bloody awful footballer in the Premiership.

that for me!

Nice one, we might as well NEVER play the ball down the left, cos fuck all is going to come from that side of the pitch with them useless twats in the team.

Honestly,the way Roeder been signing players,i am guessing he will buy a big fucking Midfielder with no creativity what so ever,and keep Parker playing as our AMC

If only we had kept Faye.

he didnt have 1% of the chance shola had.

 

Because he's not as good...simple as that.

Which is some slight, bearing in mind Shola is fucking terrible.

frankly if he had taken the time to sign anything I'd be calling for his head because there's absolutely no way he should be giving anything but 150% in his rehab.  taking a break to sign some "replica kit" (don't even get me started) or poster would have been a complete waste.

 

 

Doofus.

There are bigger problems than Owen not signing for the kids at the club at this moment in time FFS!

 

There is, but the utter cunt couldn't be arsed to even live in the region until his injury cleared up, couldn't be arsed to even speak to Martins until the last month, the guy is an utter cock socket.

 

 

Ooh, ooh, is that made up??

Yes, is the answer, i think.

Why on earth would we want to keep Roeder???

What benefit does he bring us?

Can't speak for other posters but I wanted

 

Excellent Candidates

 

Ottmar Hitzfeld - Free agent. Swiss Super league, Bundesliga, Champions League winner.

Paul Le Guen - Might be sacked by Rangers. 3 consecutive years Ligue 1 winner.

Marcello Lippi - Free agent; Serie A, European Cup, World Cup winner,

Arrigo Sacchi - Free agent; Serie A, European Cup winner.

Rafael Benitez - Might be sacked by Liverpool La Liga, Champions League winner.

Claudio Ranieri - Free agent. Success with all the clubs he is involved except Athletico Madrid.

 

Decent Candidates

 

Aidy Boothroyd - Massively overachieving with Watford. Tactically astute. Very ambitious. Very intelligent. Very passionate. Very young (35). Delima's favourite. Might prefer a bigger club than Watford. But can't imagine him working with Shepherd.

Quique Sánchez Flores - Good record with Valencia. Might be sacked by Valencia anytime. But could take some time to adapt to EPL.

Keith Amstrong - Finnsh league winner Boyhood Newcastle supporter.

Paul Simpson - Overachieving with Preston. Young bright manager. Might want a bigger club.

Christoph Daum - Turkish League winner. Built an offensive n impressive Bayern Leverkusen that include Lúcio, Emerson, Ze Roberto and Michael Ballack. Nearly become Germany national coach, but he failed his drug test Free agent.

Paul Jewell - Good record with Wigan, despite failing to attract players he trully wanted. Turn Heskey from donkey to horse. Young bright manager. Can't imagine him preferring Shepherd over Whelan.

Chris Coleman - Establish Fulham as Premiership regular with tight budget. Very young (36). Might fancy a bigger transfer budget.

Slaven Bilić - Wikipedia profile

Alan Curbishley - Establish minnow Charlton as Premiership regular. Desperate of managing another premiership club.

 

Rubbish Candidates

Graeme Souness

Bryan Robson

Glenn Hoddle

David O'leary

Alan Shearer

Gary Speed

Iain Dowie

Lee Clark

 

Some info is outdated and I have slightly modified opinions now but by and large I would love to have anyone of the excellent and decent candidates over Glenn Roeder.

 

Wouldn't mind any of Roy Keane either.

 

'love to have' is pretty fucking pointless when none would ever come or get given more than a year by the fans isn't it?

 

 

a good manager would get more than a year. Which we could prove, if we had one.

Hopefully not.

 

they still have to meet up at the bridge. 6 points apart, any 3 point drop for manchester united and chelsea could catch them in that game.

Goal difference is huge though.

They'll win it.

Could be worse. It could be Liverpool.

Let's assume for a moment that every club was to finish in the position they are now, and that the FA Cup final was between Man Utd and Chelsea.

 

1. Man U - 78                CL

2. Chelsea - 72             CL

3. Liverpool - 57            CL

4. Arsenal - 55              CL

5. Bolton - 50                UC

6. Spurs - 48                 UC

7. Everton - 46              UC

8. Reading - 44

9. Pompey - 43

10. Blackburn - 40         Intertoto

11. Newcastle - 37

 

So Europe isn't really that far off, as long as we can finish in the top half we should be there.

No, Europe is a long, long way away, because we are not good enough to get in the top half.

You're dreaming if you think Carr, Parker or Duff is going to be dropped, frankly...

 

Which is a sad thought.

The fact that when Shabmbles is finally dropped, 3 seasons too late, we turn to fucking Moore is a crime, as well. Moore shouldn't ever be able to be dropped., as he should never, ever get near the pitch in the first place.

All true.  But one of the biggest problems this club has is that you don't see a natural leader on the pitch.  Someone to step up and lead by example.  We only showed any urgency against Man City after we went behind - 80 minutes of dictating posession without creating any chances before we showed any attacking spark.  They SHOULD have had all the incentive they needed to put in a performance yesterday after the Alkmaar debacle & capitulation to Charlton....but they seemed as boring, uninspired and one dimensional as always. 

 

The manager is so fucking stupid he cannot put out anywhere near our bets side, how do you expect him to be good enough to identify, empower and support a leader on the pitch?

let's take a trip down memory lane and see who was touted for the job...

 

 

Martin O'Neill - Managing a massive Premiership club with a huge potential fanbase and  shiny new chairman. 15th, 34 points. Lower than Newcastle. Much lower.

 

Ottmar Ze German - Obviously not interested. Only tempted back to management by his hometown club

 

Sam Allardyce - The new alan curbishly, obviously got some serious skeletons to hide in his shiny plastic stadium's closet. Obviously happy to be king of the castle with the chairman as his bitch

 

Gus Hiddink - As was completely obvious at the time, was holding out for a national job. Now happy to take the piss out of Steve McLaren rather than play around with a Premiership club

 

Louis Van Gaal - Happy to act the celebrity cunt in a dutch club rather than take on the challenge of the Premiership

 

Paul Le Guen - Went to an arguably equivalent mid-table Premiership side and tried to change them with his fancy continental ways. Hounded out by pressure from the fans and top players. Ring any bells?

 

Claudio Ranieri - Whored himself around the place for 24 months. Finally found employment with Parma, a club sold at auction in Januray and currently second bottom of Serie A. Previously signed Damien Duff and Scott Parker.

 

Steve Bruce - Apparently would rather mess around in the championship with Emile Heskey than manage his hometown club infront of 50,000 geordies for Fat Fred

 

Alan Curbishly - Taking Alan Pardew's team down

 

Alan Pardew - Taking Alan Curbishly's team down

 

Sven - pft. The statistically most succesfull England manager has not found, and arguably doesn't even need, gainfull employment

 

Alan Shearer - Apparently not even a qualified manager yet

 

 

Only two things wrong with this club. One of them is Fat Fred.

 

 

 

So your point is what? That based on your (not particularly strong) analysis of the situaiton, Roeder was the best man for the job?

 

 

no as explained earlier that isn't my point

 

the fact that most don't get the point is why we are stuck where we are,

 

that contrasted with the existence of people like stevie claiming we are bigger than everton and villa on the back of one permed twat riding into town and raising 'expectations' while actually producing the precise sum of fuck all

We aren't "stuck" where we are. We could - and 100% should - sack Roeder now, and free ourselves from the wanker.

Cech is the best keeper in the Premiership in my opinion.

truth.

Van Der Saaaaaar, Frieldel, Given and Robinson make up the rest of the top 5.
