How? Because both have been shite, but at least Duff has tried. Thats better, in my book, that Luque, who has not. End product is pretty similar, but if you're guaranteed failure, it might as well be active/mobile failure. I think thats why some people rate Dyer. But back to the point, Roeder just opens his mouth and any old rubbish falls out. At least Souness had the balls to look smug about it, the twat.

Savage Gerrard

Definetely an opportunity missed. If only he had taken being played in the reserves on the chin, scored two spectacular goals and won us the game - Roeder would have been bound to give him chance then! Would he fuck, thank god. But at least he would have given his fanboys ONE piece of evidence that he wasn't a complete and utter shithouse.

Well done Albert, seize that opportunity!!!!

I like this post a lot. Supporters (at least on here) seem to think that just because its NUFC and a few years back we were a top side, we still are one, or should be preforming like one. After robson's exit, and souness' mess, it will take some time to get back to where the club should be and people really need to be more patient. The one slight flaw with that is unfortunately we can't snap our fingers and develop/lose big club mentalities/100% attitudes. We need a GOOD manager to help us as fans and the players to do that. Well, we're only a good manager and 6 or 7 good players away from that, then.

AGREED !!! How can a player that no-one rates be overrated ? Loads of people rate him. There are even people on here who think he is international class!!!! He plays for England. And? I said international class, not "gets picked by two fucking terrible mamagers".

You must hate Bramble, then.

Given - 6 - Neither here nor there. Solano - 5 - Position, Nolberto, position. Taylor - 6 - Wasted. Best CB we have, you cretin Roeder. Onyewu - 5 - Not too bad, nowt special. Bramble - 6 - Lost his way (and man) a couple of times, but not too bad. Milner - 6 - Needs to improve his crossing. Should have been left on to aim for Le Sib. N'Zogbia - 4 You could see he was having the right ideas, but rusty as fuck. Parker - 6 - Not a bad performance in a terrible game. Butt - 7 - Played well, keep it up, Ginge. Martins - 5 - Fast enough to not need to be offside so much. Needs to think more. Inconsistent. Dyer - 5 - Seemed to disappear for long periods. No real impact. Sibierski - 5 - He is what he is - a player who was a decent stop gap, but very very limited. Roeder - 4 - We didn't lose, bit come on!!! Beasts at home, and that was fucking gash.

Neither Carr (due to being an absolute travesty) nor Taylor (due to being our best CB) should be at right back. Solano can do A job, but not a great one. But people like Hindu will accept mediocrity.....no left backs good enough??? WE DON'T HAVE A LEFT BACK. NOT ONE WHO IS WORTHY OF PULLING EVEN A FUCKING TRAINING TOP ON. For fucks sake. People will make up anything to defend the indefensible, same as some cretins did about Souness - simple fact is, Roeder has FAILED to give us the basics - premiership quality players to start a game. Nothingh to do with injuries, thats just failure.

But he IS the one who says what he wants. He FAILED to get the players we needed, and that is HIS fault. Mind, if we had signed Campbell, he'd have been shit, because our manager is shite. He's better of with a decent (albiet bent-to-fuck) manager.

You haven't actually seen him play much, have you? Unless almost everyone else who ever has is lying.

Partially true. He's top class for entire games sometimes. And a complete liability for sections of others. Agree about Anton though. He's not good enough to have the attitude he does to his job. Christ knows, Bramble is NOWHERE NEAR good enough, but there's no point swapping him for a wronger-faced, equally useless player with a marginally less odd christian name.

Because by your definition, wanks like Ameobi, Dyer, Shambles, Emre etc, must be right up there on your hit list, to differing degrees.

I don't get it. Luque hasn't tried. He shoudl be dragged through Newcastle behind a bin wagon. Duff has been fucking gash, but still better than Luque.

Agree. He's basically a well built lad who compared to other English talent is talented, but compared to foreign talent not so much. For all his supposed talent he's awful at beating players from a standing position, if he isn't just barging them out of the way. How many over-rated player do you think WE have, by that definition?

Last thing we need. Why don't we sign Pennant, re-sign Jeenarse, and fucking Jody Morris as well?

....and not talking a load of s****. What do you mean? We're signing Gareth Bale you know! Ha ha! And if we did, he'd probably put him in goal.

Constant use of sarcasm is tedious. Not as tedious as the constant use of Bramble, trust me.

As if Roeder is capable of getting the best out of Duff! He's fucking clueless, and the more he speaks, the more its obvious.

A couple of points that would counter your argument: - We're 11th in the league, six points of 6th, in no danger of relegation, and for the most part of this season we've had between 10 and 16 first team players injured. - His signings have been good. Martins = Class, Duff = Underperforming but still good, Sibi = Decent back up, Gooch = First few games have been very good considering he's come into a far superior league. Bernard = Fair enough. - You could also argue that our squad would never have been good enough to get near the UEFA places anyway, and it's our expectations that are marginally too high. hahahaahahahahahahahahahaahah!!!!!!!!! Brilliant. That was genius. Which part exactly do you disagree with? His signings have been good. That part. Bernard was a disaster (and always destined to be), he wasted £5m on a player who not only has been shite, but who plays in a position that shoudl have been WAY down our list. He is forced to play a winger (not even a wing BACK) as a right back, our best CB as a left back, and a Championship player as our only permanent-ly contracted CB .

Crouch, or Savage.

He could have done better by not wasting the money he DID have, by not being tacticaly inept, and not talking a load of shite.

What we need: (on no particular order) 1. New blood in the boardroom 2. A capable manager 3. Top-7 Premiership quality players 4. Getting rid of those who don't match (3) - ie. Baba, Sib, Shambles, Carr, Shola etc 5. A structured plan identifying where the club aims to be (on and off the pitch), and how we will get there.
