two of them were the best crossers of the ball i've seen in the premier league, ever. But no good for SLK. He'd rather have the likes of Dyer or Des Hamilton out on the wing. If you think Dyer was a winger then then I won't waste my time arguing with you because obviously you don't understand what a position of winger is... he's not a winger, but he's been played (badly) there in the past. Hamilton, then. You preferred HIM to Milner? Why are you so obsessed with Hamilton ? Who was talking ab out Hamilton anyway ? Does he even have the skill and the technique to be a winger ? Do you read other posts before you reply ? What is more important in a winger - pace or ability? Because if you think Penant is a better winger than Milner, you haven't been watching either of them. your words:I'm sorry but this time you are talking rubbish...Milner is good but not the same class as Young, SWP and even Penant and do you know why ? The same reason you think it is not important...SPEED and lots of it... IF YOU ARE A WINGER YOU NEED SPEED...Even silly to discuss this...

he's a cheaper, better squad player than Smith, my far. Bollocks! Smiths a great player, would have him first on team sheet every week, yes he may not have the skill and flair of other players but hes got the bottle and the desire not seen by many others in the premiership, loved by leeds fans and Man u fans alike says alot about him imo. Erm, no, no ne's not. Man Utd fans who actually saw him play in midfield were in awe of his badness. He is not a very good striker, and poor in midfield. I'd happily not play him again, barring injuries to the other (decent) midfielders.

Well said, long term we should be looking to improve on him. there's others needing replaced in the shorter term, though. One thing at a time, i reckon. If the likes of Smith etc were as good as Milner, we'd be a better side.

and they would for why? To show us Beye, a new signing, being introduced to the crowd. OK? Okay, okay. The actual match is a better use of their time though, no? Oh wow. That's few extra seconds the've saved for the match then. I'm glad they showed us that square Geremi pass to Smith in the 48th minute. An important and interesting bit of the match, imo. Look what match action you could fit in in just few seconds. No. I'm putting my foot down on this one. No pre-match antics at all. So there. Unless the Geordie Dancer comes back, then you'll change your mind don't take the piss, he's a Scope.

And they didn't have time to do any homework on Liverpool??

what will it show? <crosses fingers and hopes it'll be Buck Rogers and Buffy>

Yes me and Rafa Benitez do...and you must be for thinking otherwise... hahahaahahahah!!

you're telling me that if the club say to the Chronicle: "you can kiss goodbye to access to our players, manager and club exclusives unless you get that cretin off our stories", that the Chron would let Anal keep writing about NUFC? Would they fuck. He'd be reporting on Blue Star within minutes.

Sorry Mr Beckham, little David isn't quick enough with the ball.......

one season, for a manager who didn't want him, in fairness. Still doesn't add up to proof that "record-breaking transfers" are any key to success, however much trophy signings may excite some sections of our support. you won't find many successful clubs nowadaya that don't spend big. You won't find many clubs that don't spend big. Full stop. aye, you're right enough there, like. Big difference between good big signings and bad ones, of course. I'd love us to sign some real, real talent, superstar players and break records, to replace the likes of Smith, Viduka etc. But they have to be right for us. For every Shearer/Drogba there's a Luque/Veron.

Yes, yes we do. What a stupid question. Don't tell it to me, tell it to Kev you tell him! You're not the boss of me.

Yes, yes we do. What a stupid question.

He does tick most boxes and when you sit and analyse what the likes of Mourinho and Rafa are good at - two similar managers in their approach and methods - he is equal in many respects. He lacks their experience and pedigree of course but I'm hoping that will come with managing Newcastle. He certainly has the right tools to prove himself in their company if you like not only within himself but through the club too with our fanbase, finances and untapped potential. I think we have a good one here and he might just be the one. Fingers crossed. definately fingers crossed. I just get a bit scared whrn the "we'll be 4th now" brigade start.

mackems.gif the NUFC expert hits the stand You laughed that hard over Michael Ballack being free? It wasn't that funny. wrong. You ARE that funny. Riiiiiiight. You're still wrong though. twice. Cos you aren't actually that funny.

Young is in a totally different league to Milner that is beyond debate. Btw Milner put in that sort of performance at SJP last season against a much better Chelsea full-back in Paulo Ferreira. Short memories. And you might want to ask Brummie about how well Milner did at Villa for them. He done well in a s*** Villa team in the same way he dome well in a s*** Newcastle team last year, mainly because of his 100% attitude which other players don't have. He will never be a top player though and won't be good enough for our first team if we've got serious ambitions about becoming a top team again, personally I'd have sold him in the summer and tried to bring someone like SWP in. Hold on, you said he would never put in the kind of performance Young did EVER, yet I just pointed out to you he already has done, err, against the same top team, Chelsea. I agree he isn't good enough to be playing regular for a top four side but then I don't believe Young would be either or Lennon, and SWP who you advocate us replacing Milner with, hasn't exactly performed for Chelsea, one of the big four, has he. That said, I believe Milner is better than Pennant who currently plays for the team at the top of the table and I wouldn't be as quick as you are to write his whole career off just yet. Love how you use almost anything to justify your dislike of Milner though, even ignoring facts and concrete proof such as Milner's performance against Chelsea last season that pretty much flies in the face of your entire argument that a) he can't perform against such sides and b) that he's never going to be good enough for a top 4 side, despite the player you want us to replace him with having proved he actually isn't. I'm sorry but this time you are talking rubbish...Milner is good but not the same class as Young, SWP and even Penant and do you know why ? The same reason you think it is not important...SPEED and lots of it... IF YOU ARE A WINGER YOU NEED SPEED...Even silly to discuss this... Penant? Do me a favour.

jebus.

and they would for why?

but only let people in the north east read it.

thats harsh. He's shit at kicking it most of the time, as well.

you're wrong about Taylor. agree, lots of people on here are saying Taylor isnt very good He will eventually brake into englands starting 11 within 2-3 seasons also he is young and doesnt make many mistakes anymore anyone actually watching Taylor play, on and off the ball, can see that he has removed a lot of the problems he caused himself in the past, even as recently as the start of last season. he's a first team starter for me, shoudl have been captain as well, above Geremi, who can't even be given the excuse of being new to the PL for soem of his dismal showings so far. Come on...Taylor is OK but captain...Please he is JUST A KID you know... Better - in my opinion - than the current captain. and in fact, the best option for captain we had apart from Lil' Mikey. Personally i think Barton would make a good captain. really? thats an interesting idea.
