Northern Monkey

Careful, people who only watch on telly think they get the best view, etc.

I assume all of the "Bramble on his day is one of the strongest/best defenders in the league" merchants will be sticking up for him again? He's fucking shit, he's always been fucking shit, and his comedy defending can now be enjoyed by us as well as other PL fans.

as is his playing record. He's fucking awful.

....and slowly but surely Smudger began to enter the consciousness of the unwilling. but remains not good enough. But you were rubbishing Viduka before last week, since then he has faced and defeated Woodgate to score an absolute pearler in the Tyne -T ees derby. scored one good goal, and has otherwise looked like a fat lumbering cretin, yes. Go him. Smith is not a good striker, simple as that. All the "combative" attitude in the world doesn't make up for the fact that he doesn't score or create enough to make him worth anywhere near £6m, or provide any real value to us. We need another striker, and Smith is not it.

When NM has hope for a player I am satisfied by default. <shaking fist smiley>

What an awful, awful post. sorry but the truth can hurt get a hug from your mum The truth can hurt can it? Ok, here's a truth for you. Someone, namely Aston Villa, did want to buy James Milner for £5,000,000. Pick up a couple of paracetamol for the pain on the way out. not just villa, when you ask a price for your player your asking anybody. he was on the open market at 5 million ...no takers.. villa said no theres no room for sentimentalist b****x at this standard of football until NUFC & the faithful stop accepting average players we wont truly challenge for top honours. Sneaking the league or FA cup wont mean nothing until we can stand on a field with any of the top 5 and have a reasonable chance of beating them. Right now we dont look anywhere near IMO we are true underdogs n that aint good enough. i dont accept "winnun sum silva ware" as recompense for years of piss poor managment Newcastle deserve/should have a fearsome side capable of beating any team on just a good day i,m as passionate about NUFC as anybody on here im just fed up with the mediocrity thats dished up and accepted Hi mate. Not sure how long youve been abroad in the middle of nowhere for, but since you were away, we've been taken over, have a new top class manager, totally revamped non-playing staff, a load of new players who look very good so far. top class manager? aye. right. decent manager, granted. top class? only what we hope.

ability wise, the zog, every time.

we are currently a top 9-type club. is milner good enough for that? yes. if we were a top 6 club, would he be good enough? yes. beyond that, imho, he COULD be good enough, given the right coaching. he certainly has shown that unlike skanky kieron, some players CAN improve and move towards their potential, so he's worth a chance.

....and slowly but surely Smudger began to enter the consciousness of the unwilling. but remains not good enough.

like shola, its a negative for us if we have to play smith, because he isn't actually good at any of the roles he plays.

not a bad player? he certainly isn't a GOOD one.

what utter bullshit It is the weakest part of Shays game for me. you think he's BETTER at controlling his area and his defence??

so a great mentality is an adequate replacement for being a good enough striker?

you've never seen him play in midfield, have you.

when we're a couple down against a superior footballing side, see how we play.

At another club.

so what is your actual prediction.

Aye, we're bound to. Nailed on.

1. Chelsea 2. Man U. 3. Liverpool 4. Arsenal 5. Man City 6. Everton 7. Spurs 8. Newcastle 9. A Villa 10. Portsmouth 11. Blackburn 12. West Ham 13. Bolton 14. Reading 15. Beasts 16. Mackems 17. Wigan 18. Birmingham 19. Fulham 20. Derby

Nopt going to happen this season, but to get 4th, as a minimum: the new players to be good enough quality defensive cover a new cental midfield quality cover for both wings 2 top class strikers not playing the likes of Smith/Viduka/Shola.

all of this 'we have a very good team' stuff is a bit optimistic. i wouldn't rate more than one of our forwards as very good. another could be very good, and thats it. and if cacapa and the other new defenders don't come good we have taylor and rozenhal, and nothing else. we've been burned too often for me. i'm cautiously optimistic, but starting to wank ourselves off over stuff just yet is a bit premature.

oh yes. presents, match, then a week away. being away for the end of the transfer window has been ace.

How do you feel about Shola not being allowed to go to Boro, mate? disappointed that we have at least one more season of fans latching onto a couple of passable games, whilst ignoring the majority of his performances and play, which are shocking. but not suprised. as a club we've long had a blind spot for this big tall heap of donkey shite, so its all a bit 'meh' now.

bramble or faye. we KNOW they are shit.

hahahaha. couldn't happen to a denser, skankier, scumbag wanker. hope its a long, drawn out recovery, you dirty little tramp.
